Explor­ation

Seismis surveys
Process and interpret the seismic data and map the potential reservoir
• Select explor­ation drilling well locations
Explor­ation drilling
Evaluate the explor­ation well data
Core analysis to establish porosity, water and hydroc­arbon saturation
Production test data to determine flow rates and maximum production potential
Reservoir fluid analysis
Computer simula­tions and models

Field develo­pment

Reservoir fluid analysis
Number­,lo­cat­ion­,ty­peo­fwe­lls­,as­ses­sme­nto­foi­lre­covery mechanism, assessment of production over the develo­pment stage
Wells
The design of wells to meet production requir­ements
Facilities
Process facili­ties, infras­tru­cture, termin­al/­export facilities
Operating and mainte­nance strategies
Manning level, daily production level, support requir­ements (helic­opters, OSV)

Production

Regulate production and injection to meet approved plans for the quantity and quality of product
Monitor and record all inform­ation to manage the reservoir, wells and facilities
Further develop or modify the facilities
Plan and schedule all production and mainte­nance activities to minimise production deferment and operation costs
Carry out mainte­nance to safeguard the technical integrity of all well and facilities and ensure their availa­bility over the life of the field

Appraisal

Planning and execution of a data acquis­ition program of additional seismic
Reprod­ucing existing seismic data to obtain enhanced results
Appraisal wells
Appraisal wells
Evaluation of the results from seismic and drilling
Update the computer models
Conceptual field develo­pment planning
Enviro­nmental impact assessment (EIA)

Decomm­iss­ioning

Plug and abandon wells
Dismantle and remove the jacket and all facilities from the site
Restore the site to its original condition
