Consequently, a geological survey of the underground rock structure must be carried out. If it is thought that the rocks in a certain area

24、o two categories. Firstly those fields in new frontiers (“NF?) such as the arctic and offshore, in which risk management and technological solutions are paramount. And secondly, mature fields (“MF?) in which cost management and efficiency are drivers. Drawn from experience of the re-emergence and tr

25、ansformation of the Russian oil and gas industry over the last 10 years, this paper reviews historic and current approaches, and recommends new models for partnership between operators and service companies to improve performance and encourage investment in technology. Specifically, it is suggested

26、how traditional Russian approaches, revised and revamped with new structures, processes and technologies, can provide a basis to exceed benchmark drilling efficiencies in mature fields. It also suggests how an 2014 级博士英语 -科技英语翻译结业考试题 6 improved approach to front end planning, engineering, and collab

27、oration, can decrease project risks in “new frontiers“. Some of the lessons learned are globally applicable. Another key conclusion is that distinct organizational cultures are required in new frontiers compared with mature fields, and that these cultures are remarkably difficult to contain within o

28、ne operational entity. 6 The Exploitation Enigma Evaluation of exploitation drilling programs raises unique issues around risking logic plus estimated ultimate recoverable (EUR) and project economic uncertainties. Clarification of these issues will assist in managing portfolios of exploration, explo

29、itation, and development investment opportunities. Under USA accounting rules, all wells drilled outside the area of proved reserves are classified as “exploratory wells“ for computation of cost of finding. However, companies typically segregate wells into Exploration (targeting prospective resource

30、s in undiscovered accumulations) and Exploitation (targeting probable and possible reserves in and around discovered fields). Classification as “discovered“ signifies a high degree of confidence that the accumulations EUR exceeds an internal economic threshold for development. However, there remains

31、 significant risk of drilling a dry well within the projected field limits. At the field level, the non-proven area is part of the uncertainty distribution for discovered reserves. At the exploitation well level, risk of failure and success case volume uncertainty both come into play. This multiple

32、level view of risk and uncertainty gives rise to the “exploitation enigma“. Exploitation well results change the field/reservoir model, the EUR uncertainty profile and associated cash flow projections. Successful wells not only develop reserves within a drainage area but also modify the total field

33、volume uncertainty distribution. Results redefine the remaining proved undeveloped, probable, and possible reserve volumes and their associated confidence levels. Dry exploitation wells also change the EUR distribution and increase investment costs without an increase in forecast production. This pa

34、per compares alternative approaches to the evaluation of exploitation programs. It concludes that the economic analysis to support exploitation drilling decisions should not be based solely on the individual wells anticipated results, but rather on its risk-weighted, incremental effect on the overal

35、l project value. 7 Sour-Gas-Reservoir Exploitation in Croatia Because fossil fuels are still dominant sources of energy supply, the petroleum 2014 级博士英语 -科技英语翻译结业考试题 7 industry is called upon not only to provide an effective management of oil and gas reserves in order to meet rising energy demand, b

36、ut also to do that in a safe and efficient manner, with as small an ecological footprint as practically possible. Consequently, also taking into account the fact that conventional oil and gas reserves are declining, petroleum companies are forced to develop and adopt new technologies to increase oil

37、 and gas recovery and to expand their upstream activities to still unexploited areas, which often implies development of deep-buried oil and natural-gas reservoirs characterized by unfavorable reservoir conditions such as high temperature and pressure and even a certain amount of impurities. Croatia

38、n experience with natural-gas production from deep-buried reservoirs is based on the development of several gas fields in the northwestern part of Croatia. The development of the largest natural-gas fields in Croatia-Molve, Stari Gradac, and Kalinovac gas fields-began at the beginning of the 1980s.

39、The main characteristic of all the mentioned fields are extremely unfavorable reservoir conditions, with reservoir depth of more than 3000 m, high initial reservoir pressures (more than 450 bar), high temperature (180C), and a significant share of CO2 (10 to 54%), H2S (800 ppm), and some other nonhy

40、drocarbon compounds such as mercaptans (30 mg/m3) and mercury (1000 to 1500 g/m3). Several other gas fields with similar reservoir conditions were discovered and developed in the last 25 years in the same region. Today, the petroleum industry in Croatia has almost 30 years of experience in processin

41、g sour natural gas with a well-established methodology of auditing processing-plant outlet-gas influences on the environment. These experiences and future plans regarding this subject will be presented in this paper. 8 Opportunities For Offshore Mineral Exploration In the Indian The Indian Ocean off

42、ers several opportunities for offshore mineral resources in the nearshore and coastal areas, the EEZs of different countries as well as the deep sea regions. With the increasing demands and depletion of land resources, the oceans are being looked upon as the future source of these minerals for susta

43、ining the industrial development. The coastal and nearshore resources of heavy mineral placers are being successfully mined in some of the countries around the Indian Ocean, and ample opportunity lies in exploring for these resources in .the hitherto unexplored areas, to build up the reserves for th

44、e future. Simultaneously, activities in the deep sea areas for polymetallic nodules, crusts and sulfides need acceleration owing to their potential for strategic metals, such as cobalt, nickel, lead and zinc. These efforts call for cooperation and sharing of facilities, infrastructure, know-how and

45、expertise, among the national as well as international agencies for exploration, mining, impact assessment and metallurgical process development. With its strategic location in the Indian Ocean, India could also play a major role in assisting the other countries in developing their offshore mineral
