  1. “Technology in Upstream” Dr. Ravi Bastia 2nd March, 2005 PetroFed, New Delhi

  2. Preamble Reliance has a strong Technological focus across it’s wide array of businesses Life Sciences & Bio Technology Investments in Infrastructure & Services Refining & Marketing Polyester Textiles Plastics E&P Trusting Technology to drive business.. • Performance • Productivity • Return on Capital Employed • Reduce Cost of Ownership • Profit ‘Technology Utilization is Application driven, and the Focus is to continuously Scan and Adopt Prudent, Appropriate and Benchmarked Technology’

  3. Inside • Areas of Application • Technology Selection • Key Issues • Final Words

  4. Areas of Application Deep water & Ultra Deepwater Sub-basalt Mesozoic HPHT environment Structurally complex Geo-setting Transition Zone Unconventional Sources-CBM, Gas Hydrate, Low Permeability, Thin Sand ‘Leverage Technology to explore frontier areas’

  5. Technology Selection: Strategy Select Application Areas Concept Development Technology Selection Existing Technology R & D

  6. Technology Selection: Existing

  7. Real Time Monitoring Centre State of the art High Performance Computing Centre High End Processing : • PSTM/PSDM • AVO/AVA Inversion • Multi Component Processing • Pre-Stack/Post Stack Inversion • Attribute Analysis • Seismic Modeling Geo-Data Processing • Integrated Drilling Optimization • Real Time Pore Pressure/Fracture Pressure Estimation • Geo Logging and Mud Logging • Geo -Steering • Model Based Surveillance • Bore hole stability Analysis • Real Time Risk Analysis “Adopting & managing cutting edge technologies to enhance efficiency and ensure success” Technology Selection : Tools Virtual Reality Centre

  8. Technology Selection : R&D

  9. Technology Selection: R&D Institutes INDIA • ONGC • IPE - Institute of Petroleum Exploration • INIBIGS-Institute of Biotechnology and Geotectonics • GEOPIC-Geodata Processing and Interpretation Centre • IRS-Institute of Reservoir Studies • IDT-Institute of Drilling Technology • IOGPT-Institute of Oil& Gas Production Technology • IEOT-Institute of Ocean Engineering and Environmental Management • IMD-Institute of Management and Development • CSIR-Council of Scientific Industrial Research • NGRI-National Geophysical Research Institute • NIO-National Institute of Oceanography • GSI-Geological Survey of India • IIT-Indian Institute of Technology • IIGM-Indian Institute of Geo Magnetics GLOBAL RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS • AAPG /SPG/SEG • Cambridge University • University of Calgary • Houston Advanced Research centre • Stanford Exploration Program • Stanford Rock Physics and Borehole Physics Program • Computer Modeling Group • Texas A&M • University of Texas Institute of Geophysics • Colorado School of Mines JIPs • GOM JIP Gas Hydrates • Teaming with E&P major for R&D • Deepstar

  10. Technology Selection: Frontier project Characterization of Gas Hydrates & Shallow Free Gas Objectives in Deepwater Blanking zone BSR Free Gas

  11. Technology Selection :GOM Gas Hydrates JIP Conoco Philips Reliance Industries Ltd. JOGMEC MH21 (Japanese Consortium) Chevron Texaco Halliburton MMS- Minerals Management Service Schlumberger Process Challenges • High Resolution & Enhanced Imaging of hydrate / free gas • Facies Identification & Resource Estimation • Target Identification & Pore Pressure Prediction • Drilling Targets Release & Well Prognosis • Hydrate / Free Gas Characterization • Well Design • Drilling Fluid Design • Cement Slurry Design • Well bore Stability Modeling • Drilling Hazard Mitigation • High Resolution 3D / DTAGS / SS-DR / Geo-Hazard survey • Thick, shallow gas zone may be over pressured (Accurate Pore and Fracture Pressure Prediction critical). • Mud weight window reduction due to shallow gas (Accurate Pore and Fracture Pressure Prediction critical). • Possibility of Large Gas Influx while drilling below BSR (Use of Riser & BOP while drilling below BSR) • Unconsolidated Top Hole & Hole Stability (Well bore stability modeling critical) •  Hydrate dissociation during drilling (Proper drilling fluid design and lower circulation rate) •  Poor Cement Bonds in hydrate zone (Proper cement slurry design) G & G & Reservoir Related Tasks Drilling Related Tasks Safety / Hazard Related Tasks

  12. Key Issues • Enable National Research Institutes to become Profit Organizations - Fiscal Impetus will stimulate Quality and further investments in R&D • Drive Global Service Providers to consider India as a R&D and Services Hub • Maximize Intellectual Capital Growth • Maximize Utilization of Talent from Indian educational institutes which shall eventually enable maximizing the ‘Indian Talent Pool’ • Inclusion of R&D in PSC with Cost Recovery Incentive • Drive E&P companies to increase investments in R&D • Formation of an Apex Body-OIDB? - For promoting, monitoring and benchmarking of Technology programs

  13. Final Words "Chance favors the prepared mind."   --  Louis Pasteur
