Production Efficiency • What is DTI’s interest? “Fields already in production hold a huge amount of probable and possible hydrocarbons: the DTI’s objective is to ensure that all this economic oil & gas is produced. It is working closely with industry and in PILOT to achieve this goal. The Brownfields showcase is an excellent opportunity to identify investment opportunities and to disseminate best commercial and technical practice.” Simon Toole – DTI Director Of Licencing and Consent Unit
Importance of Production Efficiency • Maximise potential from Brown Fields • Huge potential remaining. • Mature Infrastructure. • Security of Supply, in particular Gas. • Environment and Safety consideration. • PILOT Target
Importance of Production Efficiency • Maximise potential from Brown Fields • PILOT Target • Size of the Prize
Importance of Production Efficiency • Maximise potential from Brown Fields • PILOT Target • Size of the Prize • Benefits
Benefits • Short Term • Maximise Asset Value for all • Security of Supply (Gas) • Medium Term • Maintain Facilities for incremental developments • Keep UK as an attractive investment area • Longer Term • Decelerate COP & Life of Field Extension • Extend indigenous Oil & Gas production • Window of Opportunity, develop all potential satellite fields
2000 2010 2020 The Window of Opportunity Source: Shell UK
Efficiency Measurement Why • Inconsistent, and many definitions • Develop consistent measurement system • Who • We are all involved, Operators & DTI • How • Establish consistent sensible definitions • Industry participation • When • Consultation Process completed in Q1 2003
Efficiency Improvement • Establish Base line • Formulate Plan of Action • Immediate Term
Tool Box • Awareness • Evaluation • Process Simulation • Operational/Maintenance Culture • Intervention • Immediate Head Line Items
Intervention –Compression –Corrosion –High Water Cut –Liquid Hold Up –Slugging –Sand Control –Set Points, Valves & Controls –Weir Heights –Power Generation –Water Injection Tool Box
