Gazprom Neft improves efficiency in developing the Priobskoye field together with D&M Corp
1 июня, 2018
Gazprom Neft has entered into an agreement with American corporation DeGolyer and MacNaughton Corp. on the selection and utilisation of innovative enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques at its Priobskoye field, in a document signed at this year’s St Petersburg International Economic Forum by Vadim Yakovlev, First Deputy CEO, Gazprom Neft, and Martin Wiewiorowski, Director of D&M’s Russian Branch.
Under this agreement DeGolyer and MacNaughton specialists will, throughout 2018–2020, analyse the history of the Priobskoye field since its discovery, assess the potential for increasing production and increasing the oil recovery factor (ORF), formulate recommendations for realising this potential, and address immediate challenges and problems in developing the Yuzhny (Southern) licence block at the Priobskoye field. On the basis of this data, plans for pilot works and further geological prospecting at the asset will be put in place.
In addition to this, the process of analysing the appropriate cutting-edge technologies to be used will be initiated, and alternative approaches to solving field development problems developed. A programme for the further professional development of Gazprom Neft specialists will also be put in place.
According to Gazprom Neft specialists, the full implementation of programmes developed under the agreement with D&M will allow reserves at the Priobskoye field to be brought into development, will enhance oil recovery through existing well stock, and will increase the ORF by five to six percent.
DeGolyer and MacNaughton plans to open an office in St Petersburg in 2018 in order to undertake implementation of this project.
Vadim Yakovlev, First Deputy CEO, Gazprom Neft, commented: Gazprom Neft has been working with DeGolyer and MacNaughton for more than 10 years. The unique competencies accumulated by the company during annual reserves audits has become a key component in our joint project to study the potential of the Priobskoye field, initiated in 2016. I have every confidence that this new agreement will allow our companies to further strengthen their cooperation and, ultimately, significantly improve efficiency in developing one of our largest production assets.»

EOG Resources: Reports Fourth Quarter and Full 2017 Results
13 апреля, 2018
«For the 30th consecutive year, internal reserves estimates were within 5 percent of estimates independently prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton.»
EOG Resources, Inc. (NYSE: EOG) (EOG) today reported fourth quarter 2017 net income of $2,430 million, or $4.20 per share. This compares to a fourth quarter 2016 net loss of $142 million, or $0.25 per share. For the full year 2017, EOG reported net income of $2,583 million, or $4.46 per share, compared to a net loss of $1,097 million, or $1.98 per share, for the full year 2016.
Adjusted non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter 2017 was $401 million, or $0.69 per share, compared to an adjusted non-GAAP net loss of $7 million, or $0.01 per share, for the same prior year period. Adjusted non-GAAP net income for the full year 2017 was $648 million, or $1.12 per share, compared to an adjusted non-GAAP net loss of $893 million, or $1.61 per share, for the full year 2016. Adjusted non-GAAP net income (loss) is calculated by matching hedge realizations to settlement months and making certain other adjustments in order to exclude non-recurring and certain other items. One of the adjusting items in the fourth quarter and full year 2017 was a non-cash reduction in income tax expense of $2.2 billion, or $3.75 per share, related to the revaluation of EOG’s deferred tax liability and certain other items resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, please refer to the attached tables.
Higher commodity prices, increased production volumes, well productivity improvements and per-unit cost reductions resulted in significant increases to adjusted non-GAAP net income, discretionary cash flow and EBITDAX for the fourth quarter 2017 compared to the fourth quarter 2016. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, please refer to the attached tables.
Operational Highlights
Crude oil and condensate volumes in the U.S. increased 20 percent in 2017 to 335,000 barrels of oil per day (Bopd). Increased development activity and well productivity improvements supported the volume increase. Total company natural gas liquids (NGLs) volumes grew 8 percent while natural gas volumes decreased 6 percent primarily due to the sale of the company’s Barnett and Haynesville Shale dry gas assets in late 2016. Transportation expenses decreased 11 percent and depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses decreased 12 percent, on a per-unit basis.
Increased development activity drove substantial volume increases in the Eagle Ford and Delaware Basin during the fourth quarter. Total company crude oil and condensate volumes increased 40,200 Bopd compared to the third quarter 2017. Natural gas liquids volumes grew 15 percent while natural gas volumes increased 6 percent, compared to the third quarter 2017.
«EOG emerged from the industry downturn in 2017 with unprecedented levels of efficiency and productivity, driving oil production volumes to record levels with capital expenditures approximately one half the prior peak,» said William R. «Bill» Thomas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. «EOG’s integrated teams demonstrated superb operational performance, overcoming a major hurricane and other challenges to deliver record production volumes and cost savings which surpassed original targets set at the beginning of the year.»
2018 Capital Plan
EOG’s disciplined capital plan is designed to achieve strong returns on capital employed and healthy growth while spending within cash flow. The company expects to grow total company crude oil volumes by 18 percent, generate double-digit ROCE and cover capital investment and dividend payments within discretionary cash flow. EOG can deliver on its 2018 plan at oil prices below $50 and generates significant free cash flow at a $60 oil price.
EOG’s return-based culture continues to drive cost reductions. The company targets lower well costs and per-unit operating expenses in 2018 despite a potentially inflationary operating environment. EOG is also focused on driving continued improvements in well productivity and pursuing exploration efforts in new plays.
Capital expenditures for 2018 are expected to range from $5.4 to $5.8 billion, including production facilities and gathering, processing and other expenditures, and excluding acquisitions. EOG expects to complete approximately 690 net wells in 2018, compared to 536 net wells in 2017. Capital will be allocated primarily to EOG’s highest rate-of-return oil assets in the Delaware Basin, Eagle Ford, Rockies, Woodford and the Bakken.
At least 90 percent of the wells completed in 2018 are expected to be premium. EOG has an inventory of approximately 8,000 such wells, which have a direct after-tax rate of return of at least 30 percent assuming $40 flat crude oil prices and $2.50 flat natural gas prices.
«EOG enters 2018 better positioned than ever to generate significant shareholder value through the development of its large and diverse inventory of high rate-of-return premium wells,» Thomas said. «We are determined to maintain the discipline, record-level operational efficiency and performance gained through the downturn. Our deep inventory of premium wells across the U.S. offers flexibility to adjust to changing conditions. We also see significant opportunities to increase our premium well inventory through organic exploration and development technology to further extend EOG’s return on capital advantage.»
Dividend Increase
The board of directors increased the cash dividend on the common stock by 10.4 percent. Effective with the dividend payable April 30, 2018, to stockholders of record as of April 16, 2018, the board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.185 per share on the common stock. The indicated annual rate is $0.74 per share.
Delaware Basin
2017 was a watershed year for EOG in the Delaware Basin, where it successfully integrated the Yates acquisition, identified 1,240 additional net premium well locations, added the First Bone Spring as its fourth premium play and reduced completed well costs by $800,000 per well. Delaware Basin crude oil and condensate volumes increased over 80 percent in 2017 and exceeded 100,000 Bopd in the fourth quarter 2017.
EOG continued active development of its 416,000 net acre position in the Delaware Basin in the fourth quarter 2017, completing 65 wells.
In the Delaware Basin Wolfcamp, in Lea County, NM, EOG completed a four-well package, the Calm Breeze 2 Fed Com #701-704H, with an average treated lateral length of 7,100 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 2,605 Bopd, 440 barrels per day (Bpd) of NGLs and 3.7 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd) of natural gas.

South Texas Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk
EOG continues to enhance the productivity of its bellwether asset in the South Texas Eagle Ford. Eight years after initiating development, EOG further reduced well costs and improved well performance during 2017 in its 520,000 net acre position in the crude oil window of this world class play. EOG also expanded its enhanced oil recovery program, adding 56 wells last year. For the full year 2017, crude oil production in the Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk increased one percent year-over-year despite interruption to producing volumes as a result of Hurricane Harvey.
In the fourth quarter, EOG completed 74 wells in the Eagle Ford. These included 13 wells with lateral lengths of more than 10,000 feet. In LaSalle County, EOG completed a four-well package, the White 5H-8H, with an average treated lateral length of 12,900 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 1,545 Bopd, 80 Bpd of NGLs and 0.5 MMcfd of natural gas. In DeWitt County, EOG completed a four-well package, the Hendrix 8H-10H and the Hendrix 12H, with an average treated lateral length of 6,700 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 2,545 Bopd, 420 Bpd of NGLs and 2.4 MMcfd of natural gas.
EOG continued to test its position in the South Texas Austin Chalk, a geologically complex formation which lies above the South Texas Eagle Ford, completing four net wells in the fourth quarter.
Rockies
EOG’s Wyoming Powder River Basin and DJ Basin activity both contributed to the company’s 2017 crude oil production growth. In the Powder River Basin, EOG continued exploration activity on its 400,000 net acre position in the core of the play. The company tested the prospectivity of multiple target zones and also tested the aerial extent of various targets in the Powder River Basin during the year. In the DJ Basin, EOG achieved significant well cost reductions during 2017 through a focus on efficiency improvements in drilling and completion operations.
In the fourth quarter, EOG completed nine wells in the Powder River Basin. In Converse County, EOG completed the Mary’s Draw 453-0310H and 455-0310H wells with an average treated lateral length of 7,300 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 1,280 Bopd, 610 Bpd of NGLs and 7.6 MMcfd of natural gas. In the DJ Basin, EOG completed three wells in the fourth quarter. This included the Big Sandy 522-2536H with a treated lateral length of 8,800 feet and 30-day initial production rate of 1,100 Bopd, 110 Bpd of NGLs and 0.2 MMcfd of natural gas.
Reserves
At year-end 2017, total company net proved reserves were 2,527 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe), an increase of 18 percent compared to year-end 2016. Net proved reserve additions from all sources, excluding revisions due to price, replaced 201 percent of EOG’s 2017 production at a finding and development cost of $8.71 per barrel of oil equivalent. Revisions due to price increased net proved reserves by 154 MMBoe and asset divestitures decreased net proved reserves by 21 MMBoe. (For more reserves detail and a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, please refer to the attached tables.)
For the 30th consecutive year, internal reserves estimates were within 5 percent of estimates independently prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton.

DNO ASA 2017 Annual Statement of Reserves and Resources
16 марта, 2018
DNO ASA, the Norwegian oil and gas operator, today released its 2017 Annual Report and Accounts together with its 2017 Annual Statement of Reserves and Resources, reporting an increase in operating profit and improvements across other key financial and operational metrics.
Founded in 1971 and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange with the code DNO. OL, the company holds stakes in onshore and offshore licences at various stages of exploration, development and production in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, Yemen, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Tunisia and Somaliland. Its largest shareholder is UAE-based RAK Petroleum.
Annual 2017 revenues climbed to US$ 347 million, up 72 percent from the 2016 figures, the company said. Operating profit totalled US$ 521 million, up from US$ 6 million in 2016, with the recognition as other income of US$ 556 million under the August 2017 Kurdistan Receivables Settlement Agreement. Excluding the settlement agreement and non-cash impairments, DNO operating profit in 2017 more than doubled to US$ 72 million. Although operational expenditure last year reached US$ 259 million, double the 2016 figure, the company ended 2017 with a cash balance of USD 430 million.
Company Working Interest, CWI, production increased to 73,700 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) from 69,200 boepd in 2016. Total production from DNO-operated fields, including those in which other companies have stakes, rose to 113,500 boepd in 2017, up from 112,600 boepd in 2016. Lifting costs last year averaged US$ 3.6 per barrel of oil equivalent.
DNO’s production continues to be driven by the Tawke field in Kurdistan, where output in 2017 averaged 105,500 barrels of oil per day (bopd). The adjacent Peshkabir field, brought on stream in the middle of 2017, contributed another 3,600 bopd to bring total Tawke licence production to 109,100 bopd for the year. DNO plans to boost production from this licence area in 2018 by drilling ten new wells, the report said.
“We are committed this year (2018) to continue to outdrill, outproduce and outperform all other international companies in Kurdistan – combined,” DNO’s Executive Chairman, Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani, commented.
At year end 2017, DNO’s CWI 1P reserves climbed to 240 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) from 219 MMboe at year end 2016, after adjusting for production during the year, technical revisions and an increase in DNO’s operated stake in the Tawke licence from 55 percent to 75 percent under the terms of the August 2017 agreement. On a 2P basis, DNO’s CWI reserves stood at 384 MMboe (up from 368 MMboe) and on a 3P basis, DNO’s CWI reserves stood at 666 MMboe (up from 521 MMboe). DNO’s yearend 2017 CWI contingent resources (2C) were estimated at 99 MMboe, down from 161 MMboe at yearend 2016, following reclassification of certain contingent resources to reserves.
On a gross basis, at year end 2017, 1P reserves at the Tawke licence, containing the Tawke and Peshkabir fields, totalled 348 MMboe (353 MMboe at yearend 2016) after adjusting for production of 40 MMboe during the year and technical revisions; 2P reserves totalled 513 MMboe (536 MMboe at yearend 2016); 3P reserves totalled 880 MMboe (725 MMboe at yearend 2016) and 2C resources totaled 91 MMboe (211 MMboe at yearend 2016) following reclassification.
International petroleum consultants DeGolyer and MacNaughton carried out The annual independent assessment of the Tawke and Peshkabir fields was carried out by international petroleum consultants DeGolyer and MacNaughton, while DNO internally evaluated the remaining assets.

Последние десять лет нефтегазовые компании, недропользователи и финансовые организации в Северной Америке вкладывают средства и ведут разработку нетрадиционных ресурсов высокими темпами, однако ключевые вопросы, связанные с точным проектированием и прогнозированием денежных потоков и добычи, остаются, несмотря на продолжающееся увеличение длины боковых стволов скважин, вскрывающих пластовые залежи. Добыча этих ресурсов зависит от комплексного сочетания таких факторов как свойства коллекторских пород/флюидов, геологическое строение и конструкция скважины, и прогнозирование добычи не ограничивается простой настройкой профиля.
В 2017 г. «ДеГольер энд МакНотон» (Д&М) была предложена серия «Информационная презентация и сопутствующий Краткий курс по нетрадиционным ресурсам», в которой рассматривался подход, применяемый Д&М для получения ответов на эти вопросы, а также проблемы оценки нетрадиционных ресурсов и запасов, отраженные в недавних директивах и решениях SEC. Аудитория презентации включала более 150 представителей управленческого персонала компаний-заказчиков Д&М и компаний, не пользующихся услугами фирмы, представляющих свыше 60% рыночной стоимости всех добывающих предприятий в Северной Америке, котирующихся на бирже. Кроме этого, в аудитории присутствовали представители многочисленных частных компаний, инвестиционных банков и Северо-Американских и международных суверенных фондов и частных инвестиционных компаний, а также крупнейших нефтяных компаний. Информационная презентация включала множество примеров, отражавших опыт, накопленный Д&М в результате проведения независимой ежегодной оценки более 40% скважин, пробуренных на нетрадиционные залежи в Северной Америке. В ходе презентации была подробно представлена методика, применяемая Д&М для оценки нетрадиционных ресурсов, включая сочетание диагностирования добычи, обработки и анализа данных, анализа, основанного на моделировании, и анализа статических коллекторских свойств и параметров заканчивания скважин.
«Подход, применяемый Д&М, уникальный, точный и очень своевременный» — участники Информационной презентации Д&М по нетрадиционным ресурсам 2017 г.
Общее мнение руководящего персонала компаний, участвовавших в Презентации: «Подход, применяемый Д&М [к оценке нетрадиционных ресурсов], уникальный [по сравнению с аналогичными компаниями], точный [с технической точки зрения] и очень своевременный». Руководители компаний считают, что подход, используемый Д&М, можно использовать в ежедневной работе, а не только для целей подсчета запасов.
Подход Д&М, основанный на диагностике, уже применяется инженерами Д&М для изучения и более точного подсчета параметров работы скважин, пробуренных на нетрадиционные ресурсы. Совокупные знания инженеров, работающих в Д&М, позволяют последовательно использовать такой подход. Дополнительная информация будет получена в результате продолжающегося изучения скважин, особенно по мере дальнейшего уточнения и модернизации конструкции скважин и ожидающихся новых стандартов экономической эффективности определенных продуктивных пластов.
Сопутствующий краткий курс по нетрадиционным ресурсам: «Анализ и прогнозирование параметров работы скважин в нетрадиционных залежах» был представлен др. Дилханом Илком, возглавляющим консультационные проекты по нетрадиционным ресурсам в Д&М. Курс, проводившийся др. Илком, включал рассмотрение теоретических основ методики, применяющейся для анализа и прогнозирования добычи, а также подробный анализ примеров ее применения в наиболее значительных продуктивных комплексах и выводы, полученные по результатам работы, выполняемой Д&М, позволяя участникам расширить собственные знания, накопленные в результате работы с нетрадиционными ресурсами.
Среди технологий, применяемых Д&М для реализации своего подхода к оценке нетрадиционных ресурсов, Модуль для анализа разработки месторождений Citrine «Kappa Engineering» (Citrine). Этот новый модуль разработан «Kappa Engineering» в сотрудничестве с Д&М и позволяет быстро загружать массивы исходных данных, полученные из опубликованных источников, от заказчика или по результатам моделирования, для обработки данных большого числа скважин. Citrine особенно успешно применяется для анализа нетрадиционных ресурсов, используя наглядные диаграммы и сопоставления множества скважин, позволяя пользователям углубленно изучать и интерпретировать параметры разработки месторождения при помощи диагностического анализа и анализа кривых падения добычи.

если вас заинтересовала возможность проведения частного Краткого курса по нетрадиционным ресурсам под руководством др. Илка «Анализ и прогнозирование параметров работы скважин в нетрадиционных залежах» для вашей организации.В дополнение к Информационной презентации 2017 г., проведенной 28 августа в Денвере, Д&М будет проводить дальнейшие информационные презентации в будущем.
Узнать больше, если вы хотите принять участие в будущих мероприятиях.Др. Дилхан Илк, вице-президент Д&М, является ведущим авторитетом в области анализа параметров работы скважин, пробуренных на залежи нетрадиционных ресурсов. Др. Илк, ведущий докладчик на всех подобных мероприятиях, говорит, что многие компании переоценивают возможности скважин, разрабатывающих нетрадиционные ресурсы, или, по крайней мере, нереалистично расценивают период добычи.
