6 Mega Themes in Resources & Discoveries

1. Outside North America, conventional oil and gas


volumes discovered falling since 2010, with 2014 set
to be a record low
2. Number of conventional discoveries fell 10% b/w
2004–08 and 2009–13
3. Conventional volumes discovered declined by 24%
4. Average global volumes discovered per newfield
wildcat dropping since 2010
5. Field growth is adding more oil and gas than new
discoveries
6. About 141 bnbbls of potential incremental resource
may exist in 171 oil plays outside North America

• The 2013 conventional volumes (15.3 billion boe) discovered (ex Canada onshore, US lower-48 and US shallow water) are the
second lowest recorded since 1952 (~7.8 billion boe). At mid-year, 2014 appears to be set to be the lowest discovery year since
1952.

• This latest cycle is in part attributable to the move from the exploration phase to development phase for Brazil pre-salt oil and
offshore East Africa gas, and also reflects the slowdown in US deepwater exploration following the Macondo incident.

• The last 10 years has witnessed a notable decline in the volumes of oil and gas discovered by Majors (BP, Chevron, Eni, ExxonMobil,
Lukoil, Shell, and Total) with the exception of Eni’s gas discoveries offshore Mozambique in 2011.

• For the large Independents, Anadarko’s discoveries offshore Mozambique dominated in 2010 and 2012. In 2009, discoveries were
more diverse: Repsol’s Perla in Venezuela, Noble’s Tamar in Israel, and ConocoPhillips’ Poseidon in Australia, all over 1 billion
boe.

• The huge Turkmengaz gas discovery in 2004 totaled approximately 73,000 MMboe.

4 Challenges due to oil price volatility

1. Capex cuts target a broad spectrum


2. Low prices will not support enough new production
3. Reserve replacement rates (1P) for IOCs fell in 2014, and
replacement costs continue to rise
4. Adding reserves through M&A cheaper than organic
additions

• The IOCs have taken quick action to announce reductions in 2015 spending

• Companies cutting overhead, eliminating thousands of jobs, and renegotiating terms and costs with service
company providers.
• The ability to increase production in this year in spite of some massive reductions will come from

• High-grading of development portfolios to focus on areas with the highest productivity

• Target discretionary spend, including exploration budgets

• Delay costs for longer-term, unsanctioned projects which leaves near-term production relatively intact

• Small Independents (Indies) — Includes approximately 450 operators with production levels less than approximately
250 thousand boe/d.

• NOC/gov’t — National oil companies (NOCs) or government entity (Gov’t)

• Others — Various companies working in the oil and gas sector operate oil and/or gas assets

• Discoveries – defined as technical discoveries, not necessarily commercial, of conventional resources outside of the

Unconventional Techniques in Conventional Plays

Key implications of Unconventional techniques in


conventional plays
• The drilling and completion techniques that were refined in the development of shales
are increasingly being applied to conventional low-productivity plays within North America
with impressive results.
• When applied to conventional low-productivity reservoirs, the horizontal lengths are
typically shorter, and the hydraulic fracture stages are both fewer in number and lower in
pounds of fracture proppant used. Combined, these lower the absolute well costs.
• A high-level assessment indicates as much as 141 billion barrels (bbl) of potential
incremental resource may exist in 171 oil plays outside North America.
• 135 billion bbl in plays that likely will require hydraulic fracture stimulation to produce.

• 6 billion bbl in plays that may not require hydraulic fracture stimulation to produce.

• Two limited case studies illustrate the redevelopment schemes being employed and one
case study illustrates that these techniques are not a panacea for improving production.

Unconventional Techniques in Conventional Plays

Applying unconventional techniques to conventional


plays
Unconventional techniques and conventional plays
• In low-productivity conventional reservoirs,
horizontal wells are traditionally used because
• They allow access to thinner zones where vertical
wells are not commercially productive.

• They can connect compartmentalized portions of the


reservoir with one well instead of many vertical wells.

• Hydraulic fracturing may or may not be used.

• It may not be practical or necessary in conventional


reservoirs that have higher permeability than shales.

• Horizontal wells decline faster than vertical


Thin target zone
wells, but decline rates are highly variable—
typically between 40% and 90% in the first year.
• For conventional reservoirs, the comparison may be
irrelevant because the comparison may be between
a vertical well drilled in a good part of the reservoir
Disconnected target zones
with a horizontal well drilled in a poorer quality area,
hence the reason for drilling the horizontal well in the
first place.

• Multistage hydraulic fracturing applied to mature low-productivity plays


in North America is typically done on a smaller scale both in numbers
and force (as measured by the amount of proppant used).
• Although some kind of fracture stimulation is commonplace in the low-
productivity conventional mature plays of North America, anecdotal
reports suggest some horizontal wells in the United States are not
being fracture stimulated.
