Workshop Description

Focusing on marginal fields and small discoveries has come to the forefront ofthe oil and gas industry due to peak oil. Peak oil is the point in time when the

maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of

production enters a terminal decline.

Indeed, all the easy oil and gas in the world have been found. Now comes the

hard work in finding and producing oil from more challenging environments

and work areas.

Large discoveries are on the decline and many basins are reaching theircreaming curve ceiling. Today the focus has shifted to marginal as well as small

fields development, which was not economically viable in the past.

Large IOCs as well as smaller independent companies are building skills and

capabilities to unlock the potential of these two new focus areas and enter a

segment of the market that was previously reserved to a few niche players.

Workshop Guidelines

FormatTwo (2) days of informal discussions prompted by selected keynote presentations and discussions. Workshops maximise the exchangeof ideas among attendees and presenters through brief technical presentations followed by extended Q&A periods. Focused topicsattract an informed audience eager to discuss issues critical to advancing both technology and best practices. The majority of thepresentations are in the form of case studies, highlighting engineering achievements, and lessons learnt. In order to stimulate frankdiscussion, no proceedings are published and the press is not invited to attend.

DocumentationProceedingswillnotbepublished;therefore,formalpapersandhandoutsarenotexpectedfromspeakers.Workinprogress,newideas,andinterestingprojectsaresought.Professionally-preparedvisualaidsarenotrequired;however,PowerPointpresentationsaremostcommonlyused.Note-takingbyparticipantsisencouraged.

SPE Training Course

Field Developments and Technical SolutionsMarginal Fields

Abdel-Sattar Dahab

Monday, 16 January 2012, Cairo, Egypt

In conjunction with the SPE Applied Technology Workshop:

Marginal Fields and Small Discoveries: Unlocking the Potential

Course Description

The various cycles which affect our oil industry have emphasised the need for detailed control of expenditure for development and production ofsmall discoveries. Marginal fields refer to discoveries which have not been exploited for long, due to one or more of the following factors:

Very small sizes of reserves/pool to the extent of not being economically viable

Lack of infrastructure in the vicinity and profitable consumers

Prohibitive development costs, fiscal levies, and technological constraints

However, should technical or economic conditions change, such fields may become commercial fields. Marginal fields have several parameters

that affect them. This includes environmental concerns, political stability, access, remoteness, and of course, the price and price stability of the

produced gas/liquids.

This course will describe parts of unconventional methods to develop the marginal fields and mainly focus on innovative methods and new

technology in developing those marginal fields.

Course ObjectivesBy the end of this course the participant will be able to:

Recognise production and reservoir characteristics of marginal fields

Understand the appropriate use of improved recovery methods (IOR)

Identify under-performing wells or field areas and recommend appropriate intervention

Determine the upside potential of a field, distinguishing between incremental reserves and reserve acceleration

Describe the unconventional methods of developing marginal fields

Describe all new technologies applied on the marginal fields

Course Content

Marginal fields definition

Why opportunities emerge; nature of reserves growth; operating practices and their effect on new opportunities; the contribution of evolvingtechnology

Recognising opportunities, reservoir characteristics, and production performance indicative of new opportunities, unravelling limited data, andlinking operator practices to new opportunities

Reserves versus upside potential, review of reserve classification, risk assessment, value of new information, data quality control, and integration

Quantify uncertainty for marginal fields is a useless process

Managing subsurface uncertainties, including uncertainties in quantifying hydrocarbons in place and anticipating the range of reserves recoveryand production profiles

Novel wells for increased production rates, improved recovery, and reduced cost

Innovative facilities solutions to reduce capital and operating costs for marginal fields Current factors affecting field development economics

New technology/the future of marginal fields

Course Duration

One day

Intended Audience

Reservoir and production engineers, development geoscientists, asset team leaders, acquisition and divestiture managers, and other technicalpersonnel involved in evaluation and exploitation of reserves.
