  1. New Strategies in Petroleum Research Introduction By Kristian Kolbjørnsen, Chairman FResCo

  2. FResCo mandate • FResCo project list • View from the oil companies • Conclusion

  3. FResCo mandate • Stimulate cooperation and promote research between oil companies and research institutes and universities. • Maintain relations with NRC and OG21. • Review and distribute incoming project proposals to the relevant committee(s) in FORCE. • Responsible for arranging the Annual Seminar

  4. The Fresco committee: Kristian Kolbjørnsen(leader) DNO Kjell Sigve Lervik Statoil Ragnar Knarud Norsk Hydro Rune Teigland Total E&P Norge Mark Shahly BP Norge as Siri Helle Friedemann Research Council of Norway Arild HaugenForce Secretariate/NPD Ingrid Magnus Dong Norge Claus K Clausen ConocoPhillips The seminar organising committee consists of above plus Annik Myhre University of Oslo Martin Landrø NTNU Tor Arne Johansen University of Bergen

  5. Project List Force project proposal list

  6. Sedimentology/Stratigraphy CommitteeNORWEGIAN SEA RESEARCH PROJECT Problem: • Recent poor exploration results in the Møre and Vøring Basin indicate a serious problem in the prediction of the presence of reservoir sands. • Seismic features such as flatspots have not proven to be prospective. • Existing sand fairway models have been falsified. The aim of the project is to address two main uncertainties in the exploration process: • The absence of clay mineralogical input to a "rock properties" model for the Upper Cretaceous (shale rock properties in particular), enhancing seismic attribute evaluation • Methodologies to predict sand-presence in a distal/basinal setting

  7. Contractor: Geological Institute, University of Oslo Project started March 2004 : 3years Total cost : 4 mill NOK Funding expected from Norwegian Research Council Participating companies: • Conoco Phillips • Norsk Hydro • Gaz de France • Statoil

  8. Presentations by companies Presentation of your company at the FORCE annual meeting for cooperation between the Universities/Research institutions and the Oil companies. On behalf of FORCE we kindly ask you to contribute with 1-2 overheads to be presented in the opening session on the annual meeting between Force and the Universities and Research organisations. The meeting is taking place on May 13-14 th 2004 at NPD in Stavanger. The overheads will be presented by the chairman of the Force/Fresco committee. The overheads should show very general your company's research interests within Exploration and Increased Oil recovery (Force- area), future trends and, if possible, also list ongoing (official) projects. If you can include your company's need for candidates from the Universities, this will be highly appreciated by the Universities' representatives attending. Finally we kindly ask you to include a contact person for the Universities and research institutions for Force-related projects.

  9. The following companies responded: • BP Link • ENI Link • Esso Link • Norsk Hydro Link • OER Link • Statoil Link • Total Link • Shell No Link

  10. Conclusions • Only 7 out of 20 companies answered • Difficult to make a short synthesis, but some hot items: • Time Lapse/4D, 4C, Rock mechanics, LFP, Imaging, Demultiple • Seabed logging (EM) • Real time reservoir management, E-field, visualisation • WAG • Sand injections • Carbonates • Intelligent Wells, Low cost efficient drilling, Low cost drainage points If you find some items on the slides of interest we advise you to take direct contact with the given contact persons.
