ABSTRACT The Schwedeneck-See oilfield is the first offshore exploration and production operation to be developed in German waters. Due to the close proximity to the shore of the two fixed and unmanned production platforms, there is a strong emphasis on protective and preventive measures against pollution damage to the heavily used beaches and nearshore waters. This paper reviews the important features of a sensitivity study and shoreline mapping project conducted as part of the contingency arrangements for coastal protection along 62 km of the Baltic Sea. “Sensitive areas” were identified according to coastal use, and areas of risk highlighted on the basis of oil spill trajectories. The main shore types were classified on a scale from 1 to 10 in terms of potential vulnerability to oil spill damage and anticipated difficulties for access and cleanup operations.

SynopsisOil pollution incidents in the inshore Moray Firth 1975–84 and Cromarty Firth 1970–84 are reviewed, describing the levels, geographical patterns, trends and some impacts.Growth in oil-related activity in the inshore Moray and Cromarty Firths has not led to increased levels of oil pollution. In the Cromarty Firth the majority of incidents since 1970 have been from long-established shore-based sources, while the frequency of incidents and their impact have diminished over the last few years from levels in the early-raid 1970s which were very unsatisfactory. Incident levels in the inshore Moray Firth have also reduced since 1980.While no major environmental damage has resulted from oil pollution in this area, important wildlife resources, and in particular bird populations, have been shown in individual incidents to be extremely vulnerable to relatively small quantities of oil. It is thus important that continued attention is given to the prevention and treatment of oil pollution in this area and the strict procedures pertaining to oil exploration and production and operation of marine traffic should be maintained.

AbstractStaatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V., together with the gold mining industry, has gradually become a major contributor to the Surinamese economy since the decline of the alumina industry. In the last 35 years, about 110MMbbls (million barrels) of crude oil have been produced. Staatsolie is now in the early stages of fulfilling its VISION 2030, which is not only aimed at increased exploration and production but also at power generation, further diversification and regional expansion. The basis for achieving these goals is accelerated on- and offshore exploration, followed by growth in production. The offshore region remains a frontier area, with only a few wells drilled. Current production is about 17,000bopd (barrels of oil per day). Between 2007 and 2014, Staatsolie has spent about US$120 million on exploration. An integrated study for the Suriname–Guyana Basin carried out by Staatsolie in 2009 demonstrated the upside potential of this basin from a source rock potential perspective, which has been proven by both the Liza-1 oil discovery offshore of Guyana in 2015 and the Zaedyus-1 oil discovery offshore of French Guiana in 2011.Staatsolie is now focusing its efforts on the near-shore area, where it recently concluded a five-well drilling programme, following a 3-D seismic survey. In the deep offshore area, international oil companies (IOCs) are actively pursuing the next discovery in the Atlantic Margin, partly driven by the conjugate-margin theory geologically linking South America and West Africa.Staatsolie is also attempting to increase recovery from the most mature and largest oilfield, the Tambaredjo Field, through Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technologies of which polymer flooding is deemed the most suitable, with estimated potential incremental recovery of up to 12%.Staatsolie recognises the role of a highly skilled and motivated workforce and therefore continues investing in its people through internal as well as external training. Thirty-five years after it was founded by Mr Eddy Jharap, a geologist by training and the first Managing Director of the company, it can be stated that Staatsolie has taken its place in Surinamese society as a significant contributor to the economy, a preferred employer, a nucleus for industrial spin-off and an example for other companies.

Full textAbstract:
Since 2000 Australia has ceased to be self-sufficient in terms of oil production and petroleum demand. As a net importer of crude oil it is expected that imports will continue to fulfil a growing percentage of the country’s liquid petroleum needs. Analysts are predicting a decline in oil production over the next decade with current producing fields and discovered resources failing to fill the gap created by rising consumption. In an increasingly gas focussed industry, oil is competing with both liquefied natural gas (LNG) and coal seam gas (CSG) projects for investment. As one of the top 20 oil consumers in the world, Australia’s growing demand for petroleum liquids continues to highlight the declining domestic supply. This poster will identify and review the various components that will play a role in arresting the predicted decline curve. Exploration success in frontier basins is crucial along with the development of discovered resources in mature regions. In addition, future near-field and satellite exploration, with developments using existing infrastructure, will be instrumental in the stabilisation of oil production. This poster will also highlight planned high-impact exploration wells and examine the effect that potential discoveries could have on the country’s petroleum resources. Australia’s oil future could see a reduced dependence on imported crude, resulting from frontier exploration success opening up new oil provinces. Future options for oil production also include a re-evaluation of oil prone regions using new technology to develop discovered reserves and target higher risk and overlooked plays.

Statoil is the largest operator on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, is operating 42 assets and has an exploration activity in the order of 20-25 wells per year. In 2011, Statoil decided to undertake a full review of the basis for the oil spill response level for their activities, and establish a fully documented, transparent documentation of their approach. In Norway, operators are required to perform environmental risk and oil spill emergency preparedness assessments for all activities, as a basis for oil spill response plans. These assessments are of a complex and quantitative nature, and it has for a while been realised that there needed to be a better link between well characteristics and the oil spill response level. In the early phase of the development, it was decided to separate issues according to their nature. Issues related to company policy on overall level of spill response were identified and addressed in a separate process, as were issues relating to science and technology. From this, further work proceeded on the three main topics a) Policy decisions on spill response scaling criteria, b) algorithms for calculating effect of various response measures, and c) fact finding on issues of operational windows, capacities and effectiveness. As part of the development, all Company fields in production were reviewed, and oil spill response level adjusted and extended to include near shore and shoreline response plans. Sensitivity studies were undertaken to identify critical elements in the progression from blowout and kill studies to near shore spill response plans. Lessons learned include the overall importance of selecting correct data on reservoir characteristics, sufficient resolution in oil spill modelling, and applying consensus values for spill response capabilities throughout the assessment process. To ensure an adequate basis for near shore spill response planning, GIS technology was applied to produce a set of thematic spill response maps, in A1 size PDF format, for 37 of the most sensitive areas along the Norwegian coast. A strategic plan was also developed for each area. All maps, documentation, GIS data sets and other results of this development work has actively been made available to operators on the NCS, to the Authorities and to spill response organizations.

Since the 2006 bidding rounds, exploration activity in both the Timor-Leste exclusive offshore area (TLEA) and joint petroleum development area (JPDA) has progressed steadily. Within the JPDA, exploration remains largely focussed in the Jurassic-age Plover and Elang Sandstone formations in the Flamingo Trough-Sahul Syncline region. Over 700 MMbbls of liquids and 4Tcf of gas have been discovered in this western region of the JPDA, including the 2008 Kitan oil field discovery by Eni, which is currently scheduled for production in 2011. Recent seismic survey activity within the JPDA by PSC holders Petronas and Oilex has resulted in the combined acquisition of 2,800 square kilometres of new 3D data. These surveys, together with on-going re-evaluation of existing well data by these companies, has helped further refine the knowledge of petroleum systems within the JPDA, in preparation for drilling campaigns scheduled for late 2009 and early 2010. Within the TLEA, multi-client seismic surveys undertaken in 2005, together with on-shore academic research, indicates that the prospective Mesozoic sequence of the Northern Bonaparte Basin underlies the Timor Trough, greatly enhancing the petroleum prospectivity of this region. Further detailed 2D and 3D seismic surveys in the TLEA have been recently completed by PSC holders Reliance Exploration and Eni. The first wells to be drilled in this deeper water frontier region are scheduled for 2010.

Full textAbstract:
The problem of innovation is a key one for most of the industrialized countries of the world. Scientific and technical products resulting from intellectual activity need to create a system of protection of industrial property rights, which is a mandatory attribute of developed countries. The efficiency of modern Russian national economy is based on the scientific and technical potential of the country, along with natural and labor resources. The transition of the economy to a new qualitative state increases the importance of innovation and the development of high-tech industries, which, ultimately, are the most important factor in overcoming the economic crisis and providing conditions for economic growth. The innovative development of the Russian oil and gas sector depends on the state of the world market. It is necessary to look for other sources directly related to the main issues of scientific and technological development, including: improving the efficiency of exploration; increase of efficiency of development of oil and gasoline in remote areas; improving the efficiency of exploration in the floodplains of the remaining oil reserves; the increase in the average and low production of dense and high-quality construction of wells to a depth of more than 4 km; increasing the productivity of reservoir wells with low permeability. Therefore, scientific foundations of the development of oil and gas complex and the law of the development of innovative technologies are very relevant and have important theoretical and practical significance. The relevance of the topic of the article is expressed in the fact that the world's largest oil and gas companies are constantly looking for ways to improve efficiency, including through the use of innovative methods of oil search, exploration and production. In this case, the competitiveness and long-term survival of an oil company depends on the effectiveness of its innovation activities. The article considers the main innovative technologies in oil production in Russia and their features.

Full textAbstract:
ATP 299P(2) is located in the south-west Queensland portion of the Jurassic Cretaceous Eromanga Basin. Exploration drilling within the permit has resulted in the discovery of several oil pools which are stratigraphically controlled. Appraisal drilling at the Talgeberry Oilfield demonstrated this point when Talgeberry-2, drilled at a structurally higher location, failed to encounter either of the producing sands in Talgeberry-1. Oil is currently being produced from the Wyandra Sandstone and Birkhead Formation in Talgeberry-1 and from the Murta Member in Talgeberry-2.Depositional models are presented for each of the producing reservoirs at the Talgeberry Field, based upon dipmeter interpretation. An integrated seismic stratigraphic study was also undertaken on the Birkhead Formation reservoir.Oil production at Talgeberry is currently confined to distributary channel sands or near-shore distributary mouth bar sands. Distal facies of the distributary mouth bar have been intersected and, while containing oil, have been found to be generally tight.Dipmeter interpretation has proven valuable in determining depositional environment but is limited in defining the a real extent of the reservoir. Seismic-stratigraphic studies are able to define the reservoir geometry better and lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the depositonal environment.

China ranks second and third in global oil and natural gas consumption, and fifth and sixth in global oil and natural gas production, respectively ( U.S. EIA, 2018 ). In the past 25 years, China's oil consumption has increased 3.5 times, and natural gas consumption is rising rapidly as well. China is increasing its investment in the petroleum industry, with a goal of significantly expanding domestic oil and gas production. Complex geology, rough surface conditions, and the need to explore deep targets, unconventional resources, and offshore reservoirs pose great challenges to geophysical exploration. Geophysical technologies in China thus have advanced significantly in data acquisition, processing, and interpretation. To demonstrate the development and applications of geophysical technologies in the exploration, development, and production of oil and gas resources, we invited academic and industry experts to present recent studies on exploration geophysics in China.

In recent years the buried hill exploration was a main power for increasing reserve& production in the Liaohe oil field. By the research and analysis on the buried hill reservoir exploration in the Liaohe oil field in the paper, It point out that the previously mistake cognition was broken through in the buried hill reservoir exploration with the seismic, logging etc. technology development. The achievement list as: 1. The conclusion is drawn about the depth of the buried hill reservoir determined by the depth of the source rock which clarified the mistake about the buried hill reservoir formed only in the shallow formation. 2. The inner of the buried hill reservoir of the metamorphic rock is a fissure-cave system formed by the various and layered rocks which served as an oil accumulation place which broke through the cognition on no pore in the deep inner of the buried hill reservoir. 3.The reservoir-formed pattern is built on the study of the controlled factor in the buried hill reservoir which denied the barrier of the basalt layer for oil and gas translation over the buried hill reservoir .In this paper by the summary of the cognition breakthrough and achievement, it shows the next exploration direction in buried hill reservoir in the Liaohe depression.

Canada is the second country after the US to start the shale gas exploration and production in the world. And the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) is known for its rich shale gas reserves. However, with the development of shale gas, it is found that the success of the United States is difficult to replicate. In addition, many oil companies were forced to transfer their focus of exploration and development from shale gas to tight oil for the extended downturn of gas-price in recent years. Afterwards, abundant resources of tight oil were discovered in northeast Alberta located in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. This paper studies the developing history and current situation of tight oil, and review the horizontal well drilling technology, stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) fracturing completion technology and multi-well pad factory operation. Meanwhile, some opinions and Suggestions on the tight oil exploration and production in China are proposed.

Full textAbstract:
During the past 10 years, Australia has maintained 65– 85% self-sufficiency in oil and better than 100% sufficiency in gas. This has generated significant societal benefits in terms of employment, balance of payments, and revenue. The decline of the super-giant Gippsland fields, discovery of smaller oil pools on the North West Shelf, and the increasing reliance on condensate to sustain our liquids supply, however, sharpens the focus on Australia’s need to increase exploration and discover more oil. Australia is competing in the global market place for exploration funds, but as it is relatively underexplored there is a need to simulate interest through access to pre-competitive data and information. Public access to exploration and production data is a key plank in Australian promotion of petroleum exploration acreage. Access results from legislation that initially subsidised exploration in return for lodgement and public availability of exploration and production (E&P) data. Today publicly available E&P data ranges from digital seismic tapes, to core and cuttings samples from wells, and access to relational databases, including organic geochemistry, biostratigraphy, and reservoir and shows information. Seismic information is being progressively consolidated to high density media. Under the Commonwealth Government’s Spatial Information and Data Access Policy, announced in 2001, company data are publicly available at the cost of transfer, after a relatively brief confidentiality period. In addition, pre-competitive regional studies relating to petroleum prospectivity, undertaken by Government, and databases and spatial information are free over the Internet, further reducing the cost of exploration. In cooperation with the Australian States and the Northern Territory, we are working towards jointly presenting Australian opportunities through the Geoscience Portal (http:// www.geoscience.gov.au) and a virtual one-stop data repository. The challenge now is to translate data availability to increased exploration uptake, through client information, and through ever-improving on-line access.

With the rapidly increasing global energy needs, offshore oil production has become an attractive source of energy. Supplying offshore oil production installations is a complex logistics problem that hinges on many factors with significant uncertainties. So, it is critical to provide the necessary supplies and services without interruption. In a typical offshore oil production effort, oil companies charter most or all drilling units as well as offshore supply vessels (OSV). The type and duration of charter contract has direct impact on the project budget as vessels market is closely correlated with the world market crude oil price which can have daily significant fluctuations. As the region of West Africa is one of the world’s busiest offshore exploration and oil production markets employing 12% of the world’s fleet, exploring its issues, was taken to study the relations between daily OSV rates and crude oil price. The research results presented in this paper show correlation between OSV daily rates and crude oil price with broader fluctuations in crude oil price.

Full textAbstract:
A proposal to undertake exploration in the coastal waters adjacent to Sydney/Newcastle/Wollongong has brought strong protests on environmental grounds. This opposition is committed and the basis for it should be considered in the wider context of offshore exploration around Australia. Of the various activities involved in oil and gas exploration the potential impacts of marine seismic surveys and the likelihood of a blowout- related oil spill are those of greatest concern to the media and public.A review of the available literature shows the environmental effects of seismic surveys to be of little consequence provided non- explosive energy sources are used. The effects of an oil spill are heavily dependent on site conditions and the type of oil spilled.The literature shows that direct exposure to spilled oil is fatal to many marine species. However, the potential lethal effects are largely dependent on direct exposure and this declines with the weathering and degradation of the spill. Moreover, the risks of an oil spill occurring as a result of current transportation and handling of oil in coastal waters and points around Australia are much greater than would be presented by drilling an exploratory well.In considering the role of exploration as an assessment procedure rather than a land use it is possible to draw parallels between the conservation status of Australian coastal waters today and the onshore situation some 20 years ago. The offshore oil and gas exploration industry needs to take several measures if it is to avoid denial of access for exploration. These include clearly identifying the environmental effects of exploration as opposed to production, adopting industry- wide codes for environmental practice, and recording and disseminating the industry's environmental performance.

Full textAbstract:
It is widely understood that oil spill training is a key facet to preparedness but does the current global training curriculum meet the needs of exploration and production? And how do we ensure any training meets a suitable basic standard. Many operators lean towards the IMO's suite of oil spill response focussed courses, however due to the need for any changes to be agreed by member states courses are slow to be updated. In addition to this the courses are heavily focused on shipping and furthermore the IMO are not an accrediting body. Some organisations do offer accreditation of these courses but they are accredited against a national equivalent standard, again focussing on shipping, not ideal for exploration and production operations outside the country of national equivalence. The largely shipping approach towards the existing globally focussed training curriculum also poses a challenge as source control of an incident alters from a defined amount and duration to an undetermined amount and duration as well as being outside. This then requires a different approach to managing response strategy and some of the applied techniques for response. Some regions offer specific exploration and production training structures such as The Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) in the United Kingdom. Some offer generic training which meets the needs of both shipping, exploration and production and a wider audience such as HAZWOPER in the United States but again, both these examples are regional and do not conform to a harmonised global approach to oil spill response training for exploration and production. This abstract seeks to explore the existing training regimes, the areas that they cover and standards to which quality of training is measured against. It points towards a suggestion that industry is well set up for global training to shipping incidents but lacks a common approach and standards to which training for incidents involving exploration and production is delivered. Given the current and future level of exploration and production activity the question we need to ask is: “Shouldn't we have a dedicated harmonised global training curriculum to oil spill response training for global exploration and production activities?”

ABSTRACT: Irrigation using produced water, which is generated during crude oil and gas recovery and treated by the exploration industry, could be an option for irrigated agriculture in semiarid regions. To determine the viability of this option, the effects of this treated water on the nutritional status of plants should be assessed. For this purpose, we examined the nutritional changes in sunflowers after they were irrigated with oil-produced water and the effects of this water on plant biomass and seed production. The sunflower cultivar BRS 321 was grown for three crop cycles in areas irrigated with filtered produced water (FPW), reverse osmosis-treated produced water (OPW), or ground water (GW). At the end of each cycle, roots, shoots, and seeds were collected to examine their nutrient concentrations. Produced water irrigation affected nutrient accumulation in the sunflower plants. OPW irrigation promoted the accumulation of Ca, Na, N, P, and Mg. FPW irrigation favored the accumulation of Na in both roots and shoots, and biomass and seed production were negatively affected. The Na in the shoots of plants irrigated with FPW increased throughout the three crop cycles. Under controlled conditions, it is possible to reuse reverse osmosis-treated produced water in agriculture. However, more long-term research is needed to understand its cumulative effects on the chemical and biological properties of the soil and crop production.

Full textAbstract:
The pollution caused by the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, and the Montara blowout in the Timor Sea, put the call for an international regulatory framework for oil pollution liability on the global agenda. Although international law regulates the prevention of offshore oil pollution and protection of the marine environment, certain activities do not fall inside the ambit of international regulations. For example, while new technology has made it possible for companies to drill to deeper depths and explore further away from the coastline, existing international conventions generally do not extend to liability for, and restoration of, damage caused by oil pollution from offshore installations. These issues are regulated by the national laws of the country that governs the continental shelf where the petroleum activities are conducted. Thus, from an international perspective, the legal regime is disperse and complex. The amount and complexity of claims arising from large-scale incidents has raised interest in creating a consistent international liability regime. This could be done through a multilateral treaty. Alternatively, the development and application of common principles across national and regional jurisdictions can lead to the increased internationalisation of liability regimes. This paper compares the laws of Australia, the USA and the UK to identify common principles for liability and environmental restoration. The authors argue that as the legal framework becomes internationalised, increasing pressure will be placed on companies to accept the highest standards of liability, rather than the lowest national standard.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT A rapidly growing economy has pushed the energy demands and has significantly increased the exploration and production activities as well as the shipping traffic over recent years in the Southeast Asian Region. Since the introduction of offshore exploration and production in the 1960's, Southeast Asia has gone through a remarkable transition from an onshore to an offshore focused region with more than 80% of oil production coming from offshore fields in 2011. Also the region has recently moved into deepwater exploration and production activities which now makes up more than 10% of the offshore production. With the rising production volumes, the transport of oil products has continuously increased both in volume and in number of ships used. This trend is expected to grow further with the investment in new refinery capacity of several Southeast Asian countries. All these factors have significantly contributed to the increased risk of marine spill incidents in the region. An increased risk of oil spills necessitates an increase in the capability to respond and manage major oil spill incidents. Even though the Southeast Asian region has made some notable progress over the past few decades in terms of oil spill preparedness and response, the region's capabilities are arguably less mature compared to other parts of the world. Most of the countries in the region have been successful in establishing the elements of preparedness advocated by the OPRC (International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness Response and Cooperation) convention. But recent spill incidents and preparedness work in the region have revealed a need for greater collaboration between the government and industry stakeholders from oil, shipping and port industries, planning and preparing of major trans-boundary oil spill incidents and alignment of oil spill preparedness and response system of a country from the national to provincial level. This paper examines the increasing risks of oil spills from the growing vessel traffic and exploration and production activities in Southeast Asia against the current level of preparedness in the region. In doing so, the author will share the experience gained from working on various oil spill response planning and preparedness projects with the Governments and industry in the region with lessons learned, current developments and recommendation for improvements.

Full textAbstract:
As from the year 2011 to date, the oil and gas exploration (O&G) industry in Indonesia is not attractive anymore to the investors. It is clearly shown by all indicators of the O&G exploration performance in Indonesia which decline sharply causing the RRR (Reserves Replacement Ratio) is currently about 0.5. As the result the national O&G reserves and production decline as well. Starting the year 2004 Indonesia has become an oil nett impoter; the consumption is much bigger than the national production. This is threatening the availability of O&G energy source so that it can cause state instability. This study aims to conduct the assessment of the investors’ perspective on the investment attractivenesss of O&G exploration industry in Indonesia, taking into account two main variables, i.e: the Government Regulation and Global Environment Variables using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The units of analysis are the O&G investors which means the shareholders. Meanwhile, observation units are the top management and the managers of O&G companies in Indonesia. Result of the study shows that Government Regulation Variable is the worse variable to accommodate the investors’ expectation causing the low attractiveness of the O&G exploration industry in Indonesia. Surprisingly the influence of Global Environment variables, such as world crude oil price, is not significant compared to the Government Regulation. To increase the attractiveness of O&G exploration industry, Government of Indonesia should reform the existing regulation and increase government support for this industry to match the global environment which keeps changing.

Full textAbstract:
After 35 years of successful exploration and development, the Gippsland Basin is perceived as a mature basin. Several world class fields have produced 3.6 billion (109) BBL (569 GL) oil and 5.2 TCF (148 Gm3) gas. Without additional discoveries, it is predicted that further significant decline in production will occur in the next decade.However, the Gippsland Basin is still relatively underexplored when compared to other prolific hydrocarbon provinces. Large areas are undrilled, particularly in the eastern deepwater part of the basin. Here, an interpretation of new regional aeromagnetic and deep-water seismic data sets, acquired through State and Federal government initiatives, together with stratigraphic, sedimentological and source rock maturation modelling studies have been used to delineate potential petroleum systems.In the currently gazetted deepwater blocks, eight structural trapping trends are present, each with a range of play types and considerable potential for both oil and gas. These include major channel incision plays, uplifted anticlinal and collapsed structures that contain sequences of marine sandstones and shales (deepwater analogues of the Marlin and Turrum fields), as well as large marine shale-draped basement horsts.The study has delineated an extensive near-shore marine, lower coastal plain and deltaic facies association in the Golden Beach Subgroup. These Late Cretaceous strata are comparable to similar facies of the Tertiary Latrobe Siliciclastics and extend potential source rock distribution beyond that of previous assessments. In the western portion of the blocks, overburden is thick enough to drive hydrocarbon generation and expulsion. The strata above large areas of the source kitchen generally dip to the north and west, promoting migration further into the gazetted areas.Much of the basin’s deepwater area, thus, shares the deeper stratigraphy and favourable subsidence history of the shallow water producing areas. Future exploration and production efforts will, however, be challenged by the 200–2500 m water-depths and local steep bathymetric gradients, which affect prospect depth conversion and the feasibility of development projects in the case of successful exploration.

Full textAbstract:
Currently at the territory of the Udmurt Republic there is a depletion of previously discovered large oil fields. The increase in oil reserves is many times behind production. This problem can be solved by the introduction of oil fields with reserves of up to 300 thousand tons of oil. However the classical methods of prospecting, exploration and development makes identification and exploitation of these deposits economically not cost-effective. This problem can be solved by using the technology of acoustic low-frequency exploration at the search and evaluation and exploration stages of exploration. The forecasting scheme of hydrocarbon potencial of Debesskoe, Vostochno-Tylovaiskoe fields, as well as Staroaleiskaya and Marinskaya structures, studied by this method, has been shown. Advantages of application of technology of acoustic low-frequency investigation at carrying out the prospecting and exploration works on oil in the Udmurt Republic have been presented. The most promising geological structures to predict oil deposits by means of acoustic low frequency exploration in the territory of the Udmurt Republic have been suggested.

The production forecast is a basic premise in the design of the oil exploration program. Accurate production predictions can provide guidance on the direction of oilfields exploration program adjustments and be able to determine the scale of mining of the oilfields. Because of the varying nature of geological reservoirs, oil field production forecast error is large. Because wavelet neural network is better features of convergence and dealing with complex geological conditions, so it can provide a more accurate prediction than the conventional prediction to heterogeneous reservoir. After the actual reference data are simulated, calculation error is very small, and to prove its production forecast can be used as the reference of the real reservoir exploitation.

Full textAbstract:
Indonesia's declining oil production and rising domestic oil consumption have been a big issue for the last few decades which has turned Indonesia into a net oil importer from 2004 onward. The lack of exploration activities and other investments in oil and gas sector have resulted in the decline of Indonesia's oil production. This condition is a result of the plunge of global oil price which has fallen to its lowest level, i.e., US$43.14/Bbl (average oil price in 2016) over the last 12 years. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the distribution of oil and gas production in Indonesia along with the production cost. This analysis will allow investors to find and map working areas in Indonesia with potential commercial reserves while maintaining the lowest possible production costs. The approach of this empirical study is to divide Indonesia into 6 (six) geographical areas, namely Sumatera, Natuna Sea, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Papua. We have collected relevant data about commercial reserves and production cost from existing working areas. Our preliminary results depict that Kalimantan has the highest commercial reserves (i.e., 18.60 MMBOE per contract area) and Papua has the lowest production cost (i.e., US$3.24/BOE). Sulawesi, meanwhile, has the lowest commercial reserves (i.e., 5.39 MMBOE/Contract Area) and Natuna has the highest production cost (i.e., US$16.46/BOE). In summary, this study has shown that Eastern area of Indonesia might hold more oil and gas reserves which can be further managed by Contractor for the benefit of the Country. This study also recommends the Government of Indonesia to be aware of the condition of each working areas to maintain a sustainable oil and gas production on a National level and create attractiveness for investors in the future.

Full textAbstract:
Since their beginnings in the mid-1970s, 3-D seismic surveys have been used in conjunction with development drilling for hydrocarbon production. When Detail 3-D data were available, there was little further use for the 2-D data collected earlier for prospect delineation and drilling of a wildcat well. The 2-D data collected in the exploration stage was nearly always on a grid.The Exploration 3-D method is applicable at this same stage, but it is based on collecting a suite of parallel lines; not grids. These lines can be spaced up to four times the spacing used for Detail 3-D surveys, which makes collection costs comparable to 2-D grid programs. After performing stack on the wider-spaced lines, an intelligent interpolation process is used to recover data at closer line spacings. These data are then suitable for 3-D migration. Compared to 2-D, Exploration 3-D data are migrated to true subsurface positions and times, and become the basis for interpretation as a 3-D data volume.Exploration 3-D provides a framework of data that is consistent with all 3-D requirements. Should the Exploration 3-D data not provide the resolution needed for development purposes, additional data can be collected by infill between the original lines, but they are used again for migration of the more detailed data set.

Full textAbstract:
The development of high capacity seismic 3D vessels has been so rapid that the oil industry has yet to optimise its investment in seismic data. However, the oil companies are becoming increasingly aware of the financial benefits of multi-client surveys which maximise vessel efficiency and provide a comprehensive evaluation of large areas.Many oil companies continue to design exploration seismic programs based on 2D seismic and acquire 3D seismic surveys after drilling the exploration/discovery well and generally after at least one appraisal well. Such single client surveys are limited by expected field outlines, which results in high unit costs for the seismic and missed opportunities beyond these outlines.The immediate benefits identified from obtaining early 3D data include: a higher success rate, optimisation of well locations, more rapid and cost effective appraisal, earlier screening studies, and an advanced development program. The combination of these factors can accelerate production by up to 18 months.For the scenarios evaluated in this paper, the use of 3D seismic early in the exploration period translates into an increase in Net Present Value of A$18-33 million and Expected Monetary Value of A$50-58 million for a 50 MMBBL oil field.

Full textAbstract:
Fossil fuels are currently recognized as unsustainable because of depleting supplies and the contribution of these fuels to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the environment. Therefore, renewable, carbon neutral, alternative fuels are necessary for environmental and economic sustainability. Several countries have been considering the use of alternative fuels derived from agriculture. In that context, ethanol derived from sugar-cane and/or corn crops, and biodiesel derived from oil crops are potential renewable and carbon neutral alternatives to fossil fuels. Unfortunately, fuel from crops, waste and animal fat cannot realistically satisfy even a small fraction of the existing global demand for fuels. In Brazil, the government has been subsiding ethanol from sugar-cane crops for more than 30 years, and together with research investment on oil off-shore exploration, the initiative made possible for the country, at least for the moment, to become energy self sufficient, but due to oil supplies depletion, that scenery will change in the near future. Another limiting factor is cost. For example, the economic aspect of biodiesel production limits its development and large-scale use. Biodiesel usually costs almost twice the price per liter of conventional diesel fuel, currently in the US.Apart from economic aspects, it is clear that biofuel production technology needs to be improved to meet global fuel demand rate. One possible direction is the use of microalgae, that appear to be the only source of renewable biodiesel that is capable of meeting the diesel fuel global demand. Like plants, microalgae use sunlight to produce oils but they do so more efficiently than crop plants. Oil productivity of many microalgae greatly exceeds the oil productivity of the best producing oil crops.Approaches for making microalgal biodiesel economically competitive therefore need to be developed.The mission of Engenharia Térmica is to document the scientific progress in areas related to energy, particularly oil and renewables. We are confident we will continue to receive articles’ submissions that help enable sustainable energy solutions in the near future.

The main provisions of the current paradigm of prospecting, exploration and production of hydrocarbons, which are based on petrophysics and seismic exploration, are considered. It is shown that within its framework it is possible to apply any new ideas about the structure of natural reservoirs, the origin and migration of hydrocarbons. This paradigm will make it possible to move to the preparation of a qualitatively new resource base of the oil and gas complex through the discovery and development of hydrocarbon deposits in the best natural reservoirs with the best petrophysical parameters, high density of light oil and gas reserves, and high well production rates. New highly profitable hydrocarbon deposits will be discovered in areas with developed infrastructure, mainly in well-known oil and gas provinces.

Full textAbstract:
The Timor Sea, comprising the Territory of Ashmore and Cartier Islands and adjacent waters, is emerging as a major Australian oil- producing area which will contribute significantly to the national economy and Australia's oil self- sufficiency in the 1990s. From the Jabiru field alone, Timor Sea oil production contributes 9 per cent of Australia's oil production. The Timor Sea will soon rank second only to Bass Strait in terms of daily production from any one area. If success rates are maintained, Timor Sea could be producing 200 000 BOPD (32 000 kL/d) by the mid- 1990s.Early phases of exploration in the area focused on the detection and drilling of large structures. Success rates were low, mainly because of poor quality seismic data which hindered structural definition and lack of geological understanding as to the controls of hydrocarbon accumulations. Since the Jabiru discovery in 1983, better exploration methods have resulted in the delineation of many prospects which could contain significant oil reserves. New play concepts being developed will result in additional prospects.Economic forecasting and modelling are key factors in determining exploration and development project viability in the area, owing to the wide range in size of the prospects and discoveries. Assuming current economic factors remain in place, modelling indicates that field sizes likely to be found in the Timor Sea will be commercial.

For an extra heavy oil reservoir with top water in Liaohe Oilfield, it is inefficiently and hard to produce by conventional thermal recovery. In this regard, the numerical modeling software – CMG is used to analyze the recovery of this reservoir by Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) and Steam and incondensable gas-assisted gravity push (SAGP). The production indicators, development effects and distribution of field parameters of these two techniques are contrasted and analyzed, and the injection and production parameters for application of SAGP in wells are optimized. The study shows that, for this extra heavy oil reservoir with top water, SAGP is more effective than SAGD, and the former can reduce the steam demand, improve the oil/steam ratio (OSR), prolong the development and enhance the recovery. It is recommended, during application of SAGP on site, to inject nitrogen at volume fraction of 30-40% and when the steam chamber expands to a section with 1/3 net pay thickness away to the top water.

The paper analyzes the main techniques and technologies of oil fluid recovery in the context of energy consumption, significantly rising over the latest decade. It is recognized that the number of publications in the area of energy efficiency is growing steadily. Currently Russian oil and gas industry are facing the task of accelerating reduction of energy consumption while preserving, or even increasing, production rates. The task is complicated by the fact that the majority of deposits in Russia either have already entered (primarily, Volga-Ural region) or are now entering (West Siberia) their last stage of exploration, whereas new deposits in East Siberia are only being brought into production. Furthermore, a lot of new deposits, which provide for high recovery rates, are profitable a priori as at the first stage of exploration they do not need any artificial lift due to their free flow production without any oil well pumps. However, there is a significant share of new deposits with low-permeability reservoirs, which require either a system of reservoir pressure maintenance or periodic hydraulic fracturing. At the same time deposits at the late stages of exploration, apart from the use of pump units, systems of reservoir pressure maintenance and hydraulic fracturing, require regular repair and restoration, measures against salt and heavy oil sediments, mechanical impurities, flooding, etc., which all has a negative effect on well profitability. In order to solve these problems, the authors review existing methods and calculate specific energy consumption using various pump systems for hypothetical wells, varying in yield. According to the research results, it has been revealed that from the point of view of energy efficiency, it is desirable to equip low- and low-yield wells with sucker rod progressive cavity pump units, medium-yield ones – with electric progressive cavity pumps driven by permanent magnet motor, medium- and high-yield wells – with electric progressive cavity pumps or electric submersible pumps driven by permanent magnet motor, depending on the characteristics of the pumpedout oil fluid.

ABSTRACT The China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), established in October 1982, is the sole Chinese company dealing with offshore oil exploration, development, and production. It has four regional corporations, and four specialized corporations, as well as seventeen joint venture corporations. CNOOC has four representative offices outside China. Since the Sino-foreign cooperation for offshore oil exploration and development in China started, 360,000 line km of seismic survey have been shot, thirty-nine oil and gas bearing structures have been found, fifteen oil fields have been evaluated as having large hydrocarbon accumulations, nine oil fields have been developed and put into production, 179 exploratory wells have been drilled, and CNOOC has signed thirty-nine contracts with a total of forty-five foreign companies from twelve countries. There are five laws and regulations in the PRC affecting offshore oil development and marine environmental pollution. In accord with these laws and regulations, CNOOC has reviewed four environmental impact statements for offshore oil fields received from its regional corporations. CNOOC has made oil spill contingency plans for the Cheng-Bei offshore oil field in Bo-Hai, and the Wei 10-3 offshore oil field in the Gulf of Bei-Bu. Some oil spill combating equipment is owned by the Bo-Hai Oil Corporation and the Nan-Hai West Oil Corporation, selected on the basis of the crude oil characteristics.

This Petroleum Exploration Society of Australia review looks in detail at the trends and highlights for oil and gas production and development both onshore and offshore Australia during 2017. Gas production soared while oil production plummeted yet again. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) did well; 2017 was a great year for LNG and 2018 should be even better. There are stark contrasts between domestic gas on the west and east coasts. On the west coast, prices are affordable and supply relatively plentiful. On the east, prices are high and gas is in short supply. This paper canvasses these trends and makes conclusions about the condition of the oil and gas industry in Australia. This paper relies primarily on production and reserves data compiled by EnergyQuest. In its latest review of Australian energy policy, the International Energy Agency comments yet again on the weaknesses of Australian oil and gas statistics. This paper also makes some observations on these weaknesses.

Modern conditions and problems of development of the oil-production industry in Russia are considered in article. It is shown that the present structure of oil resources will not provide oil production according to estimates of the Energy Strategy to 2020. The program of increasing hydrocarbon exploration for oil fields and provinces accepted by the Ministry of Natural Resources of RF due to inefficient state regulation is lagging behind the schedule. We suggest that the federal program on introduction of modern enhanced oil recovery methods providing both the growth of oil production in the nearest 5-15 years and more efficient use of oil resources through increase of oil extraction ratio be accepted as an alternative strategy of development of oil production. The US experience of effective resources using and its applicability for the Russian oil-production industry are also considered in the article.

Australia’s production of oil is in steady decline. Given the maturity of the oil producing areas, only the discovery of a significant new oil province can arrest the long-term decline in Australian production. Moreover, the increase in demand for clean energy and the location of Australia’s major gas reserves means additional gas resources are also desirable. Many sedimentary basins both onshore and offshore are under-explored and are classed as exploration frontiers. Only Australian national, State and Territory governments, acting jointly or severally in partnership with the private sector, can ensure that the petroleum resource endowment of these frontiers is appropriately explored and developed to the benefit of the nation. As a nation, Australia needs to know the extent of this resource endowment. A major barrier to the exploration of these frontier basins is the absence of sufficient basic geological information to allow exploration investors to make well-informed decisions. Understanding prospectivity is a primary consideration for explorationists, but such assessments are fundamentally dependent upon an infrastructure of geoscience data, concepts and knowledge which provide the framework of successful exploration. The absence of information means high risk and reduces the possibility of investment in exploration in frontier basins. For exploration frontiers the basic geological information collected by State and national geological surveys is fundamental to informed decision-making by exploration companies. Australia competes with other nations for global exploration investment. Given the sovereign rights to the resource and the importance of oil and gas to the nation’s economy and security, provision of pre-competitive geoscience information by government is an effective way of attracting exploration investment to Australia. However, the supply of pre-competitive geoscience data—which includes ready access to pre-existing industry data and information—is a strategic enterprise that must be maintained for many years if it is to serve the needs of the nation and the industry through the long lead and cycle times inherent in the exploration and production cycle. Promotion of successful exploration is dependent on the maintenance of a competitive exploration environment that includes the free flow of relevant information in forms that meet the need of all market players. Australia has excellent examples of strategies and case histories where provision and promotion of geoscience information has been effective in attracting significant exploration investment.

Full textAbstract:
Government policies in natural resource management, especially in the oil and gas sector face a lot of problems. However, the government also has a responsibility to improve the life of people affected from oil and gas exploration and production activities. This research was aimed at investigating how the implementation of policies run by the central and local government toward the oil and gas management and community empowerment, especially the community located closely to oil and gas exploration and production activity in Madura, East Java. This research method is phenomenological research using descriptive qualitative approach. Therefore, this study is conducted through direct observation on the object during the research time. The data collection is done through observation and interview. The results of this study revealed that it is needed an integrated step done by the government, vertically, whether central, provincial, district, and village to synchronize oil and gas management and community empowerment programs. By doing so, the ideas and desires to improve the welfare and increase the state income will be realized, especially in focusing corporate and government programs improving citizen’ economic and education, whose area becomes the location of oil and gas production.
