... Abstract Oil and gas companies’ future production profile is shaped by their exploration strategy and resource base development. Gazprom Neft's production profile will include 40% of current exploration projects by 2030. Geological exploration, on the other hand, is a high-risk business because...

... Abstract Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have a great potential for geological exploration optimization at all stages. This study considers UAV implementation at different exploration stage. Integrated approach using unmanned aerial systems shows great effectiveness based on the completed...

... seismic and geologic model based on complex analyses of core, well logs, well tests, seismic and electromagnetic data allowed the Gazpromneft-GEO company to drill a series of successful wells. Gazpromneft-GEO, LLC.holds three oil and gas exploration and production licenses within the Ignyalinsky...

... Abstract As data computing and big data driven analytics become more prevalent in a number of spatial industries, there is increasing need to quantify and communicate uncertainty with those data and resulting spatial analytical products. This has direct implication in oil & gas exploration...

... concessions. There has been increased E&P activity in the buffer zone of the NoGoZone during the past 10 years - including seismic exploration and drilling, road building, and construction of production facilities, which has resulted in additional conflicts, including violent clashes between oil workers...

... the meteorite-shattered regolith surface and its volatile content and heat flow, and identifying resources for future human space exploration. The complexities are such that the mission lead time is 15 plus years. Drilling in the lunar environment poses many different technical challenges compared...

... short response time combined with low detection limits for methane and VOCs. This makes the system suitable for monitoring aquifers in shale gas exploration sites with a fairly high temporal resolution thus giving information on dynamic variations in the methane and VOC concentrations. shale gas...

... the representative elementary volume; REV). Otherwise, finite-size effect causes descrepancies between simulations and model estimations. Abstract Modeling shale gas relative permeability, k rg , has numerous practical applictaions, particularly in gas exploration and production in unconventional reservoirs...

... Abstract Significant gas discoveries have been made in deep waters off the coast of Tanzania this decade. Operator Equinor (previously Statoil) with co-venturer ExxonMobil have drilled 15 exploration and appraisal wells in Block 2 about 100 km from the shore in the southern part of the country...

... Abstract Exploration and Production operating envelop is increasingly getting complex due to sub-surface and production challenges. This requires companies to work in a new operating environment that requires better understanding of the fields, apply new techniques, more agility in business...

... Abstract One of the most important investment decisions that exploration and production (E&P) organizations make is allocating limited capital amongst the myriad projects in the corporate portfolio. The importance of making more effective capital allocation has become more apparent...

... using a web-based simulator called OilSim. Throughout the event, these teams make Exploration and Production (E&P) decisions and their actions and choices are then judged through the Net Present Value (NPV) of their company. The winning teams are declared based on the combined highest NPV...

... the dependency on energy imports and to develop a broader base in the future energy mix. The exploitation of geothermal resources faces many of the technical and commercial challenges that are encountered in oil and gas exploration and production, as well as analogous issues of social acceptance...

... bidding parameter and subsequent rent extraction instrument. The uncertainty in oil prices and its plummeting trend – plausibly discouraging exploration and exploitation of the not-easy-to-find hydrocarbons – requires progressive royalty schemes to create an equitable performance outcomes for all...

... and other offshore areas of the world demonstrate how persistent, unmanned mobile monitoring platforms have proved beneficial and effective to offshore exploration and production efforts, moving this technology from a state of infancy towards maturity. Accurate meteorological and oceanographic data...

... Abstract The health of conventional exploration had been suffering before the oil price crash in 2H 2014; commerciality and value creation both declined dramatically over the past five years. Overall discovered conventional volumes reached exceptional peaks of between 30 and 50 billion boe per...

... of the energetic situation and the petroleum industry needs in Argentina is also carried out attempting to know the work situation in which the future graduate will be immersed. Unconventional oil and gas resources in Argentina and their potential exploration and improvement were decisive to initiate this work...

... resource base EBN exploration reserves evaluation Background The Netherlands is part of the Southern North Sea Permian Basin. The country counts more than 500 oil and gas fields ( Table 1 ). The vast majority of the fields is gas bearing, less than 50 fields contain oil [1] . The number...

... in the SIP model, where employees focus on such business imperatives as increasing production, reducing cost, and managing risk, rather than routine, mandatory, low-value assignments. The consequences of a strategic inflection point within production are similar to those encountered in exploration 25 to 30...
