The Future of Deepwater Drilling
Business Insights, Jan 2011, Pages: 89
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), at the end of 2008 the world’s total offshore crude oil reserves was 238bn barrels (approximately 18% of the total oil reserves), of which deepwater oil reserves constituted 25bn barrels. Oil and gas production from deepwater fields started around 1995 and accelerated from 2000, as increasing oil prices made expensive offshore projects viable.
Features and benefits:
- Achieve a comprehensive understanding of the global deepwater oil and gas industry including the drivers and resistors of deepwater operations.
- Assess the impact of the Deepwater Horizon accident on BP, deepwater operators, oil-field services companies and governments.
- Predict the implications of the response of the US government on the deepwater oil and gas industry in the US Gulf of Mexico and globally.
- Analyze the potential impact on deepwater operators due to possible changes in operational and regulatory landscapes.
- Quantify global deepwater oil production capacity, global deepwater oil and gas exploration wells, and global and US Gulf of Mexico deepwater oil.
Highlights:
- According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), at the end of 2008 the world’s total offshore crude oil reserves was 238bn barrels (approximately 18% of the total oil reserves), of which deepwater oil reserves constituted 25bn barrels.
- Oil and gas production from deepwater fields started around 1995 and accelerated from 2000, as increasing oil prices made expensive offshore projects economically viable.
- The growth in deepwater oil and gas industry has been led by the US GoM region due to a favorable regulatory regime and a stable business environment. According to Infield Systems, an energy data provider, oil and gas producing fields in deepwater GoM rose from 32 in 2000 to 112 by 2007.
