30 biggest gas producing countries’ shares of global proven gas reserves

Status: Draft

Definitions (1)

Oil in place: Total estimated oil in an oil reservoir

Oil reserves: Producible fraction of Oil in place

Recovery factor: Ratio Oil reserves/Oil in place

Average recovery factor in world for conventional oil: ~30%

Presently estimated recovery factor for Oil sand in Canada: ~10%

Current recovery factor from oil fields in Norway: ~47%

Status: Draft

Definitions (2)

Barrel of oil equivalent (boe):

• Energy released by burning one barrel of crude oil: ~1.7 MWh

( 1 barrel ~ 159 litres = 0.159 m3)

• Corresponds to about 165 m3 natural gas: ~1000 barrels

Status: Draft

Value of oil and gas

• Price for 1 barrel oil: ~100$

• Price for 1 boe gas (165 m3): ~50$

• World oil reserves: 1200 Milliarder barrels

• World gas reserves: 1080 Milliarder boe

=> Value of oil is about 2 times value of gas

(CAPEX & OPEX not included)

Status: Draft

Task and references

• Task: Discuss uncertainties in reserves due to:

– recovery factor/enhanced oil recovery

– measurement/estimation techniques

– political factors

– etc.

• References (internet):

– BP Statistical Review

– Oil and Gas Journal

– World Oil

– etc.

Status: Draft

Some more numbers

Oil and gas:

• Snøhvit gas reserves: 193 billion m3 gas – Value = 290 milliarder NOK

• Ormen Lange gas reserves: 300 billion m3 gas – Value = 450 milliarder NOK

• Aldous Major & Avaldnes: 500-1200 million boe – Value = 250-600 milliarder NOK

• Troll gas field: 1300 billion m3 gas (biggest gas field on NCS)

• Statfjord oil field: 3500 million boe (biggest oil field on NCS)

New energy:

• 88 Sharingham Shoal windmills will produce each 3.6 MWh (~2 boe) – can power 220.000

British homes

• Statoils daily gas & oil production correspond to energy from ~40.000 windmills

1st hour

• Oil & gas reserves

• Statoil’s current operations

• Statoil’s strategy

2nd hour

• Example of a field development

Status: Draft

Statoil’s strategy

1. Maximise the potential on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS)

Tie ins to existing fields/infrastructure

Increase the recovery (Subsea processing, etc)

New independent discoveries (E.g: In Barents sea, Nordland)

2. International growth

Conventional gas and oil

Unconventional gas and oil

3. Increase our engagement in renewal energy

Status: Draft

Challenges

• Find new oil and gas fields

• Enhanced recovery

–Smart wells (horizontal, zones, branched)

–Water/gas injection wells to maintain reservoir pressure

–ESPs (pumps in wells)

–Sub sea processing

• Transport

–Multiphase to receiving facility (floater/shore)

–Single phase to market

• Deep waters, Harsh environment, Arctic

Status: Draft

Tie backs to floater/shore: Subsea production and long range multiphase flow transport

Oil reservoirs

Gas reservoirs

Status: Draft

Challenges

• Viscocity – pressure drop

–Why?

• Wax precipitation

–Depends on composition

–No problem for high GOR

gas condensate fields (Shtokman, Luva)

• Hydrates (water + gas)

– ~20 oC at high pressures

Status: Draft

Gas condensate long range transport < 500 km

Challenges:

• Pressure drop

• Liquid accumulations in inclinations at low rates

• Surges and slug catchers

• Hydrates (water+gas) Rough seabed – estimated pipeline profile

Status: Draft

Pressure drop – liquid accumulation

• High flow rate: Pressure drop is friction dominated

• Low flow rate: Pressure drop is gravity dominated due to liquid accumulation in

upward inclined sections of the flowline

• Flow line over 100 m hill

• Holdup in uphill section: 30 %

• Holdup in downhill section: 0.3 %

• Density of condensate: 675 kg/m3

• Neglect gas

• Neglect frictional pressure drop

• Find pressure drop between 1 and 2

• Compare with single phase flow calculation

(100% holdup in upward and downward inclined sections)

Status: Draft

Oil field long range transport < 200 km

• Currently < 50 km

• Challenges: Wax, hydrates

• Current solution:

–Keep temperature above hydrate temp.

(insulation or insulation + heating)

–Pigging for wax

• Future alternative: Cold flow

–Transport with particles without settling on wall/plugging

Status: Draft

Heavy oil transport < 50 km

• Challenges:

–High oil viscosity and emulsions => High pressure drop

–Viscosity is very sensitive to temperature

–Potential large problems during shutins and cooldown

• Current solutions for shorter distances:

–Production with large water cut (water continuous oil/water mixture)

–Dilution with lighter oil

–Outcirculation with non viscous fluid during shutins
