New Partnership Models Between NOC, IOC, and Service

Companies: Keys to Success
Moderator
In a world where the NOC share of the industry is growing forecast by the IEA to be more than 60% in production terms by 2030 our
industry is finding new ways to act with and for resource holders in partnership: working within the grain of national agendas, addressing NOC
needs in different ways, delivering services without taking ownership of the reserves, and bringing the local supply chain and people along
too. The roles of the traditional players are changing. IOCs are increasingly moving out into the high technology space of unconventional, GTL,
FLNG plays and into new and challenging geographies.
Service companies are taking on greater risk and offer increasingly innovative commercial models. These changes also include an evolving
approach to partnering: IOCs are partnering with NOCs in new geographies and addressing local agendas in ever new and creative ways,
service companies are looking to partner with NOCs and are also partnering with other service companies to expand what they can offer, and
agreements are evolving with local oil and gas companies to align with the national agenda and enable capability growth.
Recognising the emerging capability challenge is key that the limiting factor in our industry is not technology itself, but the capability, skill
and experience to deploy technology to deliver projects on time and within budget.
The capability gap, coupled with the reality of our maturing sector, is a huge challenge for the industry but also an opportunity. To be successful
requires a willingness to accept change, to manage risks in different ways, to adopt different commercial models and consider different ways of
partnering between NOC, IOC and service companies.
Join distinguished speakers from IOC, NOC and industry experts sharing their views on Partnership Models.
Admissions to this Industry Breakfast Session is limited to full Conference Delegates and available on a
first-come-first-serve basis.

As drilling activity ramps up in East Africa, long-awaited deals are sealed, and oil companies scramble to get a slice of what could be an energy
goldmine. Significant gas reserves have already been found in Mozambique and Tanzania, where LNG facilities are now been planned. Drilling
will kick off in Ethiopia later this year, while Madagascar is believed to hold significant reserves of gas and the Puntland region of Somalia is also
showing positive signs. Tullow has made agreements with the Uganda government for the development of a number of oil-rich blocks, and has
also made Kenyas first major oil discovery.
This session will discuss how recent discoveries have increased the prospects of the region. It will also discuss operational, commercial, and
geopolitical challenges and the regulatory and infrastructure gaps that could hinder the transition from gas exploration to production in the
medium term. It will also touch on the global implications of these East Africa developments.

Manifa Working with Nature, Saudi Aramco

The Manifa Project is considered Saudi Aramcos flagship achievement for 2012 in terms of the companys commitment to both its production
capacity and environmental stewardship. This mega-project is located in a coastal and ecologically sensitive area that includes a productive
shrimping and fishing zone. Our efforts earned a UNESCO Environmental Responsibility Award nomination.
The Manifa Project went into service in April 2013 and will reach its production capacity of 900,000 barrels per day of Arabian heavy crude,
with 90 million cubic feet of associated gas, and 65,000 barrels per day of condensate, by the end of 2013. Highlighting this projects major
accomplishments was the construction of over 41 kilometers of offshore causeways for drill sites, three kilometers of bridges for field access,
27 drilling islands and 13 offshore platforms. Further, there is a 420-megawatt high-efficiency cogeneration plant for waste heat recycling and
energy reuse.

IPTC Excellence in Project

Integration Award
1922 JAN 2014
PEARL GTL - Shell

Pearl GTL is the worlds largest Gas-to-Liquids plant and represents one of the worlds largest, most complex and challenging energy projects
ever commissioned. From the origins of the Shell GTL technology nearly 40 years ago to the creation of the worlds GTL capital in Qatar today,
the delivery of a GTL project on such a vast scale as Pearl GTL is an example of a uniquely integrated development. It captures in one project an
extended gas value chain starting from offshore subsurface development, through onshore gas processing to natural gas, to the conversion
of natural gas to hydrocarbon liquids, to the refining to finished products and storage, and finally to the dispatching and worldwide marketing
of unique GTL products. Pearl GTL has incorporated some truly innovative technologies and created value locally as well as globally. It has also
demonstrated excellence in project implementation and, above all, was delivered while achieving a record breaking HSE performance.
PERDIDO - Shell
Perdido is the worlds deepest offshore oil drilling and production platform. Moored in 2,450 metres (8,000 feet) of water in the Gulf of Mexico, it
opened up a new frontier in deep-water oil and gas production.
The Perdido project is a spar-based development of three ultra-deepwater fields in the remote southwestern part of the Gulf of Mexico. At the
time of the fields discovery in 2002-04, their safe and economic development was thought to be close to impossible. Extreme water depth,
rugged seafloor terrain, low-pressure reservoirs, and well fluids with an aggressive hydrate-formation tendency all conspired to make it a
daunting challenge.
But the Perdido project team did make happen. It required integrating a series of technology firsts across a range of disciplines. And in so doing,
several world records were set: deepest drilling and production platform; deepest subsea completion; deepest undersea pipeline connection.
The Perdido spar has a peak daily production capacity of 100,000 barrels of oil and 200 million cubic feet of gas. Shell has a 35% interest in the
platform and is the operator.

The course starts by covering the geological aspects of carbonate fractured reservoirs, NFRs, in terms of matrix and fractures characterization
and determination of its intrinsic and effective properties needed for reservoir modeling. It then continues to explore the recovery mechanism
of naturally fractured reservoirs and its difference than those of conventional oil reservoirs. Further, the course presents the concepts of
Wettability, Pc and Kr curves and their importance in the recovery mechanisms of naturally fractured reservoirs. Modeling approaches will
differ based on the types of the Carbonate NFR, and the oil recovery processes encountered during primary, secondary and tertiary recovery
techniques. The course explains the modelling approaches of Standard Dual Porosity, Dual Porosity with Multiple Interacting Continua, Dual
Porosity with Vertical Refinement, Dual Permeability, and finally Dual Permeability with Vertical Refinement. Further, the course explores the
various matrix-fracture transfer function and the related shape factors. Finally the course would shed light on the topic of thermal recovery from
Carbonate Naturally Fractured Reservoirs which is taking a lot of attention lately.

Course Outline
In recent years, the use of geostatistics has spread from the world of reservoir characterization to that of the velocity analysis, time-to-depth
conversion, seismic inversion, uncertainty quantification and more generally to that of seismic data integration in earth models. Nevertheless,
many geoscientists still regard geostatistics as little more than a statistical black-box. By explaining the concepts and applications, the goal of
this course is to clarify the benefits of geostatistics and help spread its use.
The course will cover the use of geostatistics for interpolation (kriging), heterogeneity modeling, uncertainty quantification (simulation),
and data integration (cokriging, external drift, geostatistical inversion). A variety of applications and examples will be presented, including
velocity mapping, time-to-depth conversion, heterogeneity modeling and seismic data integration in stochastic earth models. The relationships
between geostatistics and approaches more familiar to geophysicists, such as filtering or Bayesian methods, will also be discussed, without
entering into mathematical details. A number of case studies will be presented, covering examples from various parts of the world. This will be a
lively course, illustrated by examples, exercises and discussion sessions.
Topics Include:

What does the Variogram mean?

Different ways of Quantifying Geology

Ordinary Kriging

External Drift Kriging and Collocated Cokriging for combining seismic and well data

Factorial Kriging for filtering seismic data

Monte-Carlo Simulation

Conditional Simulation

Geostatistical Inversion and its latest developments

Earth Model Uncertainty Quantification
Who Should Attend

Petroleum geoscientists and reservoir engineers are the main target of the course. This is a great opportunity for those interested in solving
practical problems involving data interpolation, earth modelling, multidisciplinary data integration or uncertainty quantification.

Seismic Reservoir Characterisation: An Earth

Modelling Perspective
08301600 hours
Meeting Room 218
Course Outline
Three-dimensional numerical earth models play an increasingly important role in the E&P industry to improve reservoir management and
optimise hydrocarbon recovery. A key challenge for reservoir geophysicists is the quantitative integration of 3-D and 4-D seismic data in static
and dynamic earth modelling workflows. Using a combination of theory and illustrations based on a broad range of case studies, the one-day
course will review current best practices and future challenges for constraining earth models with seismic information. Emphasis will be placed
on seismic data integration in the context of seismic-to-simulator workflows. Topics covered include the construction of stratigraphic grids
from interpreted seismic horizons and faults, deterministic and stochastic elastic inversion, cascaded petrophysical inversion, use of seismic
geostatistics and rock physics to predict reservoir properties such as lithology and pore fluids, uncertainty propagation techniques, building of
geomechanical earth models for seismic Pp prediction, and 4-D earth models generation for seismic monitoring applications.

The course is aimed at geoscientists and engineers who are involved in the construction of earth models and want to learn about practical
techniques for seismic data integration, combined use of seismic rock physics and geostatistics, uncertainty modelling and quantitative 4-D
interpretation. The course comes at a time when seismic-based earth modelling has become a key activity for integrated asset teams in the
E&P industry. It should therefore be of interest to a broad audience, including technical specialists and managers, who are actively involved or
supervise seismic-to-simulator activities.

Education Week: 1822 January 2014

Education Week entitledEnergy Challenges + Education = Our Futureincludes a five-day programme for the
best undergraduate geosciences and engineering students from international educational institutions. More than
80 students from across the globe and 20 students based in Qatar have been selected to participate in the highly
anticipated student programme. We thank the sponsors of this programme, who have supported the travel and
accommodation expenses incurred by attendees. The purpose of this programme is to give the participating
students a clear insight into the oil and gas industry, to let them work together on a technical project, and provide
them the the opportunity to develop friendships with like-minded young engineers from around the world. We
also hope the programme will see them to return to their universities and colleges with a positive story about
careers in oil and gas, which they will relay to their fellow students.
Teachers Workshop: 19 January 2014

The Teachers workshop is entitledEducation Energising the Future, itwill be focused on helping teachers
educate in the essential scientific concepts related to oil and gas. The workshop session will ensure that educators
receive comprehensive and objective information that can then be incorporated into their students education. A
variety of free instructional materials will be available to take back to the classroom.
EnergyBee: 20 January 2014

EnergyBee is a competition between the selected students groups, consisting of 6-8 members per team. The
participants depth and breadth of knowledge on the subjects of energy, petroleum, geoscience and related
sciences will be tested. First, second and third place winners will be announced during the IPTC Closing Ceremony.
Education Day: 2122 January 2014

Education DayentitledEnergy 4Allis an initiative to introduce students to the disciplines of petroleum
engineering, and the industry in general. Targeted at high school students, grade 10 to grade 12, invited industry
professionals will share their experience with students and deliver talks on topics of general interest and of specific
relevance to the industry. The students will be given free access to the exhibition area during IPTC. They will be
able to see, first-hand, the latest technologies utilised by engineers in this field, including the state-of-the-art

software used for solving complicated engineering problems. It is hoped that they will leave the conference with a
better understanding of what petroleum engineers do and their role in the broader community. Equally important,
they will also become aware that a petroleum engineering career is full of exciting challenges, teamwork, and
major responsibilities.
Future Engineers Parents Dinner: 21 January 2014

This event is designed to make parents aware of the opportunities available in engineering, geosciences and
science higher education in oil and gas. This inspirational evening seeks to give a complete understanding of the
exciting employment prospects in these fields. The dinner will encourage their children to enroll in education that
could help them launch a successful career in oil and gas. We will also discuss the impact that choosing a career
within these disciplines could make on the continuous growth of the region, and the contribution they could
make to global development by meeting the challenges presented by growing energy demand.
High School Project Competition: 22 January 2014

The competitions objective is to showcase students ingenuity and resourcefulness in presenting Science and
Energy related projects. Schools can submit an experimental/investigatory project, technology/engineering
project or display project wherein students can construct a model to show a visual representation of their work.
International Young Professionals Competition: 21 January

The World EnergyGate to the Future Young Professionals Paper Competition was open to all Young
Professionals in the international oil and gas community. Young Professionals submitted a 350-word abstract and
if selected were invited to write an extended abstract (20004000 words).
PowerPoint and poster presentations were created from the selected abstracts and will be displayed at the Youth
Pavilion in Hall 3. Winners (1st, 2nd, 3rd) will be selected from both the PowerPoint presentations and the posters.
Winners will be awarded at the IPTC closing ceremony.
