SPE Online Education: SPE Asia Pacific Webcast Series on Integrated Asset Development & Management (IADM)

MPM, Upstream Business, PETRONAS, along with esteemed co-presenters and moderators, the SPE Asia Pacific Webcast Series on Integrated Asset Development & Management (IADM) is designed to share and discuss the topic of IADM with subject matter experts throughout the series. This webcast is setting the scene for a series of talks and will touch upon some standards and process improvement at the industry level (with showcases from Malaysia) and its key principles and value impacts, focusing mainly on Integrated Asset Development & Management (IADM) throughout field/asset lifecycle from exploration stage down to decommissioning and abandonment stage with a focus on Field Development Projects. This webinar will focus on pragmatic and innovative, yet simple tactics, to unhide low-risk high-value opportunities in the assets through Integrated Production System & Data Analysis (IPSDA). The overall objective of this session is to generate value efficiently, through improved reservoir and surveillance management, understanding of potential and opportunities, and operating reservoir and production/facility system efficiently. Participants will gain knowledge of risks and uncertainties at the earlier stage while looking at the potentials of any field development, to help facilitate mid-long term decision making in creating value throughout the field life.

SPE Online Education: SPE Gaia / OGCI / IPIECA / IOGP Climate Series eSessions – Methane

In recent years great strides have been made in satellite detection of methane emissions. There are now a variety of satellites with a variety of methane sensors and detection capabilities in orbit and several more planned in coming years. Today is public data with limited resolution, and high-resolution private data, in the future the new satellites will bring new levels of transparency to methane emissions in both public and private domains. We have assembled a distinguished and expert panel working in this field to present and discuss what is possible and the impact this can have on the rapid mitigation of methane emissions. This series of webinars between thought leaders on climate change in the O&G industry and the broader O&G industry around the world will be undertaken in an effort to deepen understanding around issues of climate change and receive feedback from the wider oil and gas industry on the energy transition.

SPE Online Education: Reservoir

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a critical technology for ensuring a range of clean energy options are available to meet future energy demands. Offshore storage can be linked to large point-sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) while avoiding many of the logistical difficulties and potential risks encountered when siting onshore projects, especially in densely populated areas of the East Coast of the United States. The Mid-Atlantic U.S. Offshore Carbon Storage Resource Assessment Project (MAOCSRAP), funded by the US Department of Energy, has completed a systematic carbon storage resource assessment of the mid- and north-Atlantic offshore coastal region to provide a strong technical basis on which future CCS efforts can be built.

US Sets Up Office To Oversee Abandoned Oil Well Cleanup

US Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland on 10 January issued an order to establish an office to ensure efficient use of the Biden administration's 4.7 billion investment in the cleanup of abandoned oil and gas wells. The Orphaned Wells Program Office will be led by Kimbra Davis, who has worked at the Interior Department since 2009. Orphaned oil and gas wells are those that generally have been abandoned and are no longer producing. "The Department is standing up a new office to support states, tribes and federal land managers as they close and remediate orphaned oil and gas wells that pose environmental hazards to communities across the country," Haaland said in a statement. Well-plugging efforts are part of President Joe Biden's goal to reduce climate-warming methane emissions, create jobs, and address pollution in communities affected by infrastructure left behind after more than a century of oil and gas drilling.

Department of Energy Is Trying Out SPE Storage Evaluation System

On the long list of barriers to the accelerated development of carbon storage put together by the US Department of Energy (DOE) is the need for a widely accepted method for evaluating and managing underground storage sites. At the recent CO2 Conference in Midland, Texas, John Litynski, DOE's director of carbon transport and storage, said they are interested in testing the CO2 Storage Resources Management System (SRMS) developed by the CO2 Storage Resources Committee, a committee of the SPE Carbon Dioxide Capture, Utilization, and Storage Technical Section. A slide from the presentation by Litynski said "The SPE system offers a common terminology for the many people involved with developments, allowing them to communicate about the complicated subsurface reality of storage." The SRMS, which was initially rolled out in 2017, is competing for acceptance with other proposed systems for evaluating, planning, and classifying storage systems. Its origin runs parallel to SPE's Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS), which is widely used to evaluate oil reserves globally.

pore space

A North Dakota Supreme Court decision changed the rules for leasing pore space from landowners and their rights to compensation. This decision and the US Inflation Reduction Act, which significantly increases tax incentives for operators' carbon capture and storage projects, is likely to spur other states to clarify their laws regulating pore space.

ADNOC Establishes New Gas Processing, Operations, and Marketing Company

UAE's state-owned energy company ADNOC has launched ADNOC Gas, effective 1 January 2023--its new gas processing, operations, and marketing company. The flagship company combines the operations, maintenance, and marketing of the ADNOC Gas Processing and ADNOC LNG businesses into one global consolidated unit. As a global player with capacity of around 10 Bcf/D of gas, ADNOC Gas will serve a wider range of domestic and international customers with an expanding portfolio of gas products. ADNOC expects demand for natural gas to increase steadily over the coming decades with global gas demand driven by industrial and manufacturing growth and the replacement of more carbon- intensive fuels, such as coal, in international markets. The UAE and ADNOC are positioning to take advantage of this opportunity, given the area's gas reserves.

New US Guidance Emphasizes Indirect Emissions in Federal Approval Process

The Biden administration released new guidance last week that will steer how US federal agencies account for greenhouse-gas emissions in environmental reviews and permitting for new energy projects. The updates come from the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) and encourage federal agencies charged with approving projects to mitigate emissions "to the greatest extent possible" using science-based reduction policies. In addition to other energy sectors, the CEQ guidance applies to oil and gas infrastructure that require federal approval, such as pipelines. The CEQ updates include an emphasis on what it calls a "rule of reason" that demands the scope of study for any given energy project be proportional to the estimated impact of its emissions profile. In other words, low-emissions projects such as renewable energy installations will be granted a less-detailed analysis than more emissions-intensive projects.

Abu Dhabi's Hydrocarbon-Rich Path to Net Zero by 2050

ADNOC has approved a 15-billion next step toward reducing the carbon footprint of its hydrocarbon-driven economy. The plan, aimed at "future proofing" its oil-driven economy, builds on initiatives that have made it a pioneer in carbon capture in the Middle East. A key part in the next stage of its decarbonization is a second carbon capture and storage (CCS) project, described as a "first-of-its kind." ADNOC plans to increase its CO2 capture capacity to 5 million metric tons a year. And the capture and storage will help the country's carbon-intensive industrial sector take the carbon out of its products by going blue.
