New Oil in Old Areas

New Oil in Old Areas


The Indonesian Petroleum Association is presenting a short course “New Oil in Old Areas” in Bandung Indonesia this December.

Instructor:  Peter J.  Cockroft – Board Director at NuEnergy Gas Limited
Cost: US$ 3,000 (IPA Prof. Div. Member) or US$ 3,200 (Non IPA Prof. Div. Member)

The short course cost includes course manuals & materials, hotel accommodation for 6 (six) nights (room & breakfast only), working lunches, and refreshments.

OUTLINE

This course describes integral importance of reservoir geology and engineering (both subsurface and surface) and how we can improve recoveries from existing oil and gas fields.

YOU WILL LEARN?

Recognize production and reservoir characteristics of old fields that indicate the potential for increasing reserves and value.

Understand whether existing recovery factors are consistent with those than can be realized with effective utilization of the natural drive mechanism(s) and the appropriate use of improved recovery methods

Identify under-performing wells or field areas and recommend appropriate intervention.

Determine the “upside potential” of a field, distinguishing between incremental reserves and reserve acceleration.

Examine alternative re-development strategies by studying case histories and working example industry problems.

TRAINING METHOD

There will be lectures, frequent exercises and case studies using real data during the 5-days class. The course will include Indonesian examples in addition to those from around the world.

COURSE CONTENT

  • The reservoir life cycle
  • Reservoir fluids
  • Factors influencing recovery from oil and gas fields
  • Depositional environments and their flow characteristics
  • Eolian reservoirs
  • Meandering fluvial reservoirs
  • Braided fluvial reservoirs
  • Deltaic reservoirs
  • Siliclastic shorelines and barrier Island reservoirs
  • Deep water marine reservoirs
  • Carbonate reservoirs
  • Alluvial  fan reservoirs
  • Glacial sediments
  • Estuaries
  • Shelf sandstones
  • Fractured igneous and basement rocks
  • Meteoric impact structures

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Reservoir and production engineers, development geoscientists, asset team leaders, acquisition & divestiture managers, and other technical personnel involved in evaluation and exploitation of reserves in mature fields.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Peter Cockcroft was a pioneer of the Indonesian EOR contracts, wrote a defining paper on EOR Potential in Indonesia (1988), a co-author of the Indonesian Oil and Gas Fields Atlas, and was Operations Manager for three different mature field rejuvenation projects (11 separate fields) with over 1000 wells in South Sumatra, Indonesia.

Peter was SPE Distinguished Lecturer on Risk in 2004-5, has been a resident Country Manager in six different countries for majors as well as independents, has worked for two different National Oil Companies, and was Energy Advisor to the President of Timor Leste for 5 years. He has had responsibility for 9 different new field developments, and 4 field rejuvenation projects in various countries.
