Abstract:
The production of residual oil reserves in the fields being in a long-term exploitation is of current interest. The extraction of residual oil in such fields was cost-effective and simple technological process and is always hot topic for researchers. Oil wells become flooded in the course of time. The appearance of water shows in production wells in the field development and operation is basically negative occurrence and requires severe control. Namely for this reason, the studies were oriented, foremost, to the prevention of water shows in production well and the elimination of its complications as well. The paper discusses the ways of reflux efficiency increase during long-term exploitation and at the final stages of development to prevent the irrigation and water use in production wells.

Abstract:
This paper summarizes the research work with reference to artificial lift methods to increase oil production form mature oil wells in Gulf of Mexico. Increase oil production or oil recovery from oil reservoirs is very important. If the average worldwide recovery factor from hydrocarbon reservoirs can be increased beyond current limits, it will alleviate a number of issues related to global energy supply. Currently the daily oil production comes from mature or maturing oil fields and reserves replacement is not keeping pace with the growing energy demand. This paper presents big picture overview of artificial lift methods for mature oil wells in Gulf of Mexico.

Abstract:
Modern conditions and problems of development of the oil-production industry in Russia are considered in article. It is shown that the present structure of oil resources will not provide oil production according to estimates of the Energy Strategy to 2020. The program of increasing hydrocarbon exploration for oil fields and provinces accepted by the Ministry of Natural Resources of RF due to inefficient state regulation is lagging behind the schedule. We suggest that the federal program on introduction of modern enhanced oil recovery methods providing both the growth of oil production in the nearest 5-15 years and more efficient use of oil resources through increase of oil extraction ratio be accepted as an alternative strategy of development of oil production. The US experience of effective resources using and its applicability for the Russian oil-production industry are also considered in the article.

Abstract:
Many oil and gas fields are currently at a late stage of development, while most of them are being developed using flooding. These fields are characterized by the decreasing oil and liquid flow rates and accelerating water-cut. During the development process, the majority of oil reserves are extracted not using methods of production enhancement. Though, oil reserves within undeveloped areas are a valuable source for recovery. To involve residual reserves in active development, it is necessary to make a reasonable justification and a choice of the most effective geological and technical measures that take into account various geological field and well reservoir characteristics. Residual oil reserves at the late stage of development are classified as hard-to-recover and are mainly concentrated in areas not covered by flooding laterally and vertically. They belong to various categories that differ in the geological and technological characteristics. In this regard, it is necessary to plan various geological and technical measures taking into account the structure of residual reserves and patterns of their distribution. Studies of complex oil and gas fields were performed and a detailed analysis of the geological and physical characteristics, parameters of reservoir heterogeneity along with operational, geological and commercial assessment of reserves development were conducted.

Abstract:
AbstractThe production of excess water during oil recovery creates not only a major technical problem but also an environmental and cost impact. This increasing problem has forced oil companies to reconsider methods that promote an increase in oil recovery and a decrease in water production. Many techniques have been applied over the years to reduce water cut, with the application of chemicals being one of them. Chemicals such as polymer gels have been widely and successfully implemented in several oil fields for conformance control. In recent years, the application of foam and emulsions for enhanced oil recovery projects has been investigated and implemented in oil fields, but studies have shown that they can equally act as conformance control agents with very promising results. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of the application of polymer gel, foam and emulsion for conformance control. Various aspects of these chemical-based conformance control methods such as the mechanisms, properties, applications, experimental and numerical studies and the parameters that affect the successful field application of these methods have been discussed in this paper. Including the recent advances in chemical-based conformance control agents has also been highlighted in this paper.

Abstract:
Currently, most of the oil fields in the West Siberian oil and gas province are in the final stage of development. There is water-cut in production, a decrease in oil production, and the structure of residual reserves deteriorates. The search and application of the most successful scientific methods and technologies for improving oil recovery in the development of fields is quite an urgent task.It should be taken into account that hydrophobic reservoirs are common in the oil fields of Western Siberia, and when applying the method of reservoir flooding, this fact should be taken into account and a more detailed approach should be taken to the study of capillary forces to prevent flooding of productive objects. Despite the good knowledge of the West Siberian megabasin, some fundamental issues of its structure and oil and gas potential remain debatable.The article proposes methods for improving oil recovery of the BS10 formation of the Ust-Balykskoye oil field based on the study of capillary pressures in productive reservoir formations, and provides recommendations for the placement of injection wells. The study of the capillary properties of reservoir rocks will significantly improve the efficiency of exploration and field operations in oil fields.

Abstract:
As it is predicted that there will be a decrease in production at the oil and gas facilities that are currently operating, it becomes necessary to start developing new oil and gas fields. This results in changes to the state’s policy regarding the participation of private companies in the development and implementation of oil and gas offshore exploration and production new projects. Access to unique fields can be provided to the most socially responsible companies. The purpose of this study is to present the author’s methodology for assessing the dynamics of corporate sustainability. The methodology is based on the assessment of individual, well-founded indicators of sustainable development of companies. The proposed methodology takes into account factors in areas such as occupational health and safety, environmental protection and economic efficiency and identifies two performance indicators. The first indicator is an aggregated index for three groups of factors to assess company ratings relative to the performance of the best company. The second indicator is an assessment of the dynamics within the company relative to the previous values of indicators of corporate social responsibility. The research results obtained using the proposed methodology show that oil and gas companies differ significantly in terms of corporate sustainability. The developed methodology for assessing corporate sustainability is of practical importance and can be used by companies in the analysis and planning of operating and investment activities that ensure the achievement of goals of corporate social responsibility.

Abstract:
The object of research is oil fields at a late stage of their development. The most problematic issues in the development of oil fields are the formation and withdrawal of residual oil reserves. This problem is especially acute at the late or final stage, when the oil productivity of the wells decreases and the water cut of the production catastrophically increases. The most acceptable development system in such conditions is the use of methods for increasing oil recovery and, first of all, by injecting water into the reservoir. At the same time, the problematic issue is the lack of reliable information on the paths of water movement from injection to production wells and the imperfection of methods for aligning the injectivity profile in injection wells and the flow profile in production wells. In the course of the study, statistically analytical methods were used to analyze the state of development of oil fields at a late stage and industrial approbation of methods for tracing water movement and substantiation of a reagent base to align the paths of water movement and oil inflow. A set of reagents and technological methods for ensuring the regulation of the process of flooding of oil fields at a late stage of their development have been investigated and developed. It has been proven that a promising direction is the injection of a 0.1 % aqueous solution of the Polycar polymer together with water. This solution first of all penetrates into highly permeable, water-washed, formation intervals, contributing to the leveling of the injectivity profile, reducing the water cut of surrounding production wells and increasing their oil productivity. Thanks to the research carried out, directions and means of improving the systems of field development at a later stage have been developed by organizing targeted (selective) waterflooding of oil deposits based on high-quality and comprehensive control of the movement of filtration flows in the reservoir. This will ultimately contribute to achieving and maintaining the design value of reservoir pressure, preventing a decrease in the rate of decline in oil production, obtaining the design value of the sweep efficiency by waterflooding, and withdrawing residual oil reserves.

Abstract:
Oil production is a complex process that requires modern technologies, work experience and responsible personnel to implement cost-effective projects. Oil field exploitation processes stimulation or modeling is a method for researching exploitation objects on their analogs (models) in order to determine characteristics of available projected objects and make them distinct. The main objective of this research is to explore possibility and establishment of hydrodynamic stimulation results application effectiveness as a factor for decisions-making concerning oil or gas fields exploitation. The research, regarding optimization of oil field exploitation system, outlined the main directions and possibilities of oil extraction from depleted oil fields enhancement, and the hydrodynamic stimulation process as the main tool for solving such problems. The study of efficiency of oil and gas field development presupposed developing geological and technological model of a hypothetical deposit with technological indicators of a real Ukraine deposit. The hydrodynamic model was adapted for all wells according to actual data. All geological and technological measures, carried out in the sight, were also modelled. Field exploitation history was adapted. Oil field exploitation system was optimized by improving the reservoir pressure enhancement system in the real field. Different variants of field exploitation were considered. They include the conversion of the producing well in the injection well, whereas the well in the vaulted part is injected.

Resumo: O desenvolvimento de campos marítimos de petróleo e gás natural tem se deslocado para águas cada vez mais profundas, ambientes cada vez mais hostis e áreas cada vez mais remotas. A utilização de soluções convencionais para desenvolver tais campos, especialmente o uso exclusivo de processamento primário em superfície e equipamentos elevação artificial instalados dentro de poços pode não justificar os investimentos. O processamento submarino tem aumentado a atratividade ou até viabilizando a produção de campos marítimos. Visto o aumento em sua utilização, os autores propuseram uma metodologia para selecionar conceitos de plantas submarinas para campos de petróleo e gás natural, utilizando informações disponíveis na literatura e suporte de especialistas em tecnologia submarina e modelagem de produção integrada. Uma menor contrapressão no poço produtor é uma potencial consequência do uso de processamento submarino, podendo tornar o perfil de produção mais atrativo. Como consequência, uma abordagem integrada considerando os estudos necessários para avaliar o escoamento dos fluidos de suas fontes iniciais até os destinos finais é necessária para se propor uma metodologia de seleção. Como alternativa à falta de estudos integrados comparando diferentes soluções de desenvolvimento em campos marítimos, informações de quatro desenvolvimentos comerciais que empregaram processamento submarino foram utilizadas para buscar a validação da metodologia. Os resultados destes estudos de caso sugerem que a metodologia é válida, entretanto não é claro que tais desenvolvimentos de produção utilizariam todas as fases propostas
Abstract: The development of offshore oil and natural gas fields has been moving to deeper waters, harsher environments and more remote areas. The use of conventional solutions to develop such fields, especially sole use of surface processing or downhole artificial lift methods, may not justify the investments. Subsea processing has been increasing the attractiveness or even enabling offshore field developments. Given the increase in its use, the authors proposed a methodology to select concepts of subsea processing plants for oil and natural gas fields, using information available in the literature as well as support from specialists in subsea technology and integrated production modelling. Higher drawdown in producer wells is a potential consequence of the use of subsea processing, therefore it may positively impact the production profile. As a consequence, an integrated approach comprising all the studies necessary to assess the flow between the initial sources and the final destinations is necessary to propose a selection methodology. As an alternative to overcome the lack of integrated studies comparing different development solutions in offshore fields, information from four commercial developments that employed subsea processing was used to seek methodology validation. The results of these four case studies suggest that the methodology is valid, although it is not clear if such production developments would utilize all phases proposed

Abstract:

Since the 1950s, oil has been the dominant source of energy in the world. The cheap supply of oil has been the engine for economic growth in the western world. Since future oil demand is expected to increase, the question to what extent future production will be available is important.

The belief in a soon peak production of oil is fueled by increasing oil prices. However, the reliability of the oil price as a single parameter can be questioned, as earlier times of high prices have occurred without having anything to do with a lack of oil. Instead, giant oil fields, the largest oil fields in the world, can be used as a parameter.

A giant oil field contains at least 500 million barrels of recoverable oil. Only 507, or 1 % of the total number of fields, are giants. Their contribution is striking: over 60 % of the 2005 production and about 65 % of the global ultimate recoverable reserve (URR).

However, giant fields are something of the past since a majority of the largest giant fields are over 50 years old and the discovery trend of less giant fields with smaller volumes is clear. A large number of the largest giant fields are found in the countries surrounding the Persian Gulf.

The domination of giant fields in global oil production confirms a concept where they govern future production. A model, based on past annual production and URR, has been developed to forecast future production from giant fields. The results, in combination with forecasts on new field developments, heavy oil and oil sand, are used to predict future oil production.

In all scenarios, peak oil occurs at about the same time as the giant fields peak. The worst-case scenario sees a peak in 2008 and the best-case scenario, following a 1.4 % demand growth, peaks in 2018.

Com a crescente demanda por energia fóssil as operadoras petrolíferas têm buscado determinar planos operacionais que otimizam a produção dos campos em operação para satisfazer a demanda do mercado e reduzir os custos operacionais. Neste contexto, a pesquisa operacional tem se mostrado uma importante ferramenta para determinação dos planos de produção de curto prazo para campos de petróleo complexos. Alguns trabalhos já desenvolveram estratégias para a otimização integrada da produção que visam auxiliar engenheiros de produção e operadores a atingir condições de operação ótimas. Estes avanços científicos atestam o potencial da área de otimização integrada da produção de campos, justificando a busca por estratégias de otimização global e integradas de ativos. Contudo, a incerteza dos parâmetros que caracterizam o reservatório, os poços, fluidos e os diversos processos de produção não vem sendo considerada pelos modelos e algoritmos de otimização da produção diária. Considerando os modelos de produção de curto prazo, estas incertezas podem ser atribuídas a erros de medição , comportamento oscilatório dos sistemas, modelos imprecisos, entre outros. A influência da incerteza dos parâmetros em problemas de otimização tem, desde tempos, sido foco da comunidade de programação matemática. E já foi verificado que soluções de problemas de otimização podem apresentar significativa sensibilidade à pertubações nos parâmetros do dado problema, podendo levar a soluções não factíveis, subótimas ou ambas. Assim, buscando tornar as abordagens de otimização existentes mais confiáveis e robustas às incertezas intrínsecas dos sistemas de produção, esta dissertação investiga a modelagem e tratamento de incertezas na otimização diária da produção e propõe formulações em programação matemática para otimização robusta da produção de poços operados por gas-lift. As formulações representam curvas amostradas através de dados simulados ou medidos que refletem as incertezas dos sistemas de produção. Estas representações levam a formulações robustas em programação matemática inteira mista obtidas pela aproximação das curvas de produção através de linearização por partes. Além disso, este trabalho apresenta os resultados de uma analise computacional comparativa da aplicação da formulação robusta e da formulação nominal a um campo de petróleo em ambiente de simulação, porém considerando simuladores multifásicos amplamente empregados pela indústria do petróleo e gás, que representam a fenomenologia muito próximo da realidade. O primeiro capítulo apresenta a problemática em que estão envolvidos os desenvolvimentos realizados nesta dissertação e um resumo dos capítulos subsequentes. No segundo capítulo alguns conceitos fundamentais são apresentados para a compreensão do trabalho desenvolvido. Este capítulo é dividido em três partes. A primeira parte inicia apresentando brevemente a indústria de petróleo e gás com uma perspectiva histórica, econômica e dos processos envolvidos. Na sequência são expostos conceitos básicos de engenharia de petróleo necessários para o entendimento do sistema de produção utilizado ao longo a dissertação  i.e. gas-lift. Finalmente, o problema de otimização da produção é situado dentro do problema maior, que é o gerenciamento completo das operações de um campo de petróleo, seguido de uma revisão da literatura no que se refere a abordagens clássicas para otimização da produção de campos operados por gas-lift. A segunda parte é uma descrição compacta sobre modelagem de problemas de otimização utilizando programação matemática e na menção dos métodos de solução deste tipo de problema utilizados na parte experimental desta dissertação. A terceira parte começa com uma revisão sobre incerteza em problemas de otimização e sobre as decisões de modelagem enfrentadas quando na presença de problemas de otimização incertos. Na sequência o paradigma de otimização robusta é introduzido e é apresentada uma compilação de alguns dos principais resultados da área de otimização robusta linear. Além disso, ao fim, alguns pontos específicos da teoria de otimização robusta são apresentados pela suas relevâncias para o desenvolvimento da teoria dos capítulos seguintes. O terceiro capítulo inicia com uma discussão sobre as origens das incertezas nos modelos de produção para então prover uma revisão bibliográfica dos poucos trabalhos que mencionam ou lidam com incerteza em sistemas de produção. Na sequência, a incerteza é examinada na perspectiva do problema de otimização. Um sistema simples é usado para exemplificar a metodologia de otimização robusta desenvolvida nesta dissertação. O quarto capítulo apresenta dois problemas padrões de otimização da produção, um contendo poços satélites e outro com poços e completação submarina. Para ambos uma formulação em programação linear inteira mista é descrita considerando valores nominais para todos os parâmetros. Então, para cada problema uma reformulação robusta é implementada considerando incerteza nas curvas de produção do poço. A metodologia utilizada para o primeiro problema é a mesma detalhada no capítulo três, e para o segundo uma extensão da metodologia é proposta para poder lidar com restrições de igualdade incertas. No quinto capítulo são apresentados resultados experimentais de um problema de otimização da produção de um campo com poços satélites. Os resultados obtidos com otimização clássica (nominal) e com otimização robusta são então comparados em um campo de produção sintético instanciado em um simulador multifásico comercial. A solução robusta se mostrou indicada para cenários de operação mais críticos onde factibilidade e segurança são prioridade. No capítulo final uma análise dos resultados obtidos na dissertação é feita sob a perspectiva do possível emprego das técnicas desenvolvidas na indústria de óleo e gás. Apesar de à primeira vista os resultados serem conservadores e de sua utilização parecer limitada, existe potencial para a metodologia ser empregada no caso de situações que priorizam segurança. Além disso a metodologia aqui desenvolvida pode servir como ponto inicial para pesquisas e desenvolvimentos futuros. Uma breve descrição de possíveis trabalhos futuros é feita ao final deste capítulo. O apêndice traz a descrição de algoritmos de amostragem de curvas côncavas desenvolvidos para os experimentos numéricos realizados na dissertação.

Abstract : Managing production of complex oil fields with multiple wells and coupled constraints remains a challenge for oil and gas operators. Some technical works developed strategies for integrated production optimization to assist production engineers in reaching best operating conditions. However, these works have neglected the uncertainties in the well-performance curves and production processes, which may have a significant impact on the operating practices. The uncertainties may be attributed to measurement errors, oscillating behavior, and model inaccuracy, among others. To this end, this dissertation investigates how uncertainty might be considered in daily production optimization and proposes formulations in mathematical programming for robust production optimization of gas-lifted oil fields. The formulations represent system-measured and simulated sample curves that reflect the underlying uncertainties of the production system. The representations lead to robust mixed-integer linear programming formulations obtained from piecewise-linear approximation of the production functions. Further, this work presents results from a computational analysis of the application of the robust and nominal formulations to a representative oil fields available in simulation software.

Abstract:
Production optimization for water flooding in the secondary phase of oil recovery is the main topic in this thesis. The emphasis has been on numerical optimization algorithms, tested on case examples using simple hypothetical oil reservoirs. Gradientbased optimization, which utilizes adjoint-based gradient computation, is used to solve the optimization problems. The first contribution of this thesis is to address output constraint problems. These kinds of constraints are natural in production optimization. Limiting total water production and water cut at producer wells are examples of such constraints. To maintain the feasibility of an optimization solution, a Lagrangian barrier method is proposed to handle the output constraints. This method incorporates the output constraints into the objective function, thus avoiding additional computations for the constraints gradient (Jacobian) which may be detrimental to the efficiency of the adjoint method. The second contribution is the study of the use of second-order adjoint-gradient information for production optimization. In order to speedup convergence rate in the optimization, one usually uses quasi-Newton approaches such as BFGS and SR1 methods. These methods compute an approximation of the inverse of the Hessian matrix given the first-order gradient from the adjoint method. The methods may not give significant speedup if the Hessian is ill-conditioned. We have developed and implemented the Hessian matrix computation using the adjoint method. Due to high computational cost of the Newton method itself, we instead compute the Hessian-timesvector product which is used in a conjugate gradient algorithm. Finally, the last contribution of this thesis is on surrogate optimization for water flooding in the presence of the output constraints. Two kinds of model order reduction techniques are applied to build surrogate models. These are proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and the discrete empirical interpolation method (DEIM). Optimization using a trust-region framework (TRPOD) is then performed on the surrogate models. Furthermore, the output constraints are again handled by the Lagrangian barrier method

Abstract:
There are many heavy oil reservoirs with thin pay zones (less than 10 m) in the world and in Turkey. Conventional steam injection techniques are not costeffective for such reservoirs, due to excessive heat loss through the overburden. Heat losses can be minimized through controlled heating of the pay zone. One such way is to introduce heat to the reservoir in a controlled manner is microwave heating. Laboratory studies on microwave heating of a scaled model of a heavy oil reservoir with a thin pay zone are presented with an economical feasibility of the method. In this thesis, three different conceptual oil reservoirs from south east Turkey are evaluated: Bati Raman (9.5 API) and Ç
amurlu (12 API) heavy crude oils and paraffinic Garzan (26 API)crude oil. Using a graphite core holder packed with crushed limestone with crude oil and water microwave effects of operational parameters like heating time and waiting period as well as rock and fluid properties like permeability, porosity, wettability, salinity, and initial water saturation are studied. The main recovery mechanisms for the experiments are viscosity reduction and gravity drainage. An analytical model is developed by coupling heat equation with the electromagnetic dissipated power per unit of volume based in Maxwell'
s equation successfully models the experiments for temperatures less than the pyrolysis temperature is presented. Also the experiments are scaled to the model by geometric similarity concept. In economic evaluation, the cost of oil is calculated based on domestic electricity prices.

Abstract:
Current methods of production forecasting such as decline curve analysis (DCA) or numerical simulation require years of historical production data, and their accuracy is limited by the choice of model parameters. Unconventional resources have proven challenging to apply traditional methods of production forecasting because they lack long production histories and have extremely variable model parameters. This research proposes a data-driven alternative to reservoir simulation and production forecasting techniques. We create a proxy-well model for predicting cumulative oil production by selecting statistically significant well completion parameters and reservoir information as independent predictor variables in regression-based models. Then, principal component analysis (PCA) is applied to extract key features of a well’s time-rate production profile and is used to estimate cumulative oil production. The efficacy of models is examined on field data of over 400 wells in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas, supplied from an industry database. The results of this study can be used to help oil and gas companies determine the estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) of a well and in turn inform financial and operational decisions based on available production and well completion data.

Abstract:
Most investments in the oil and gas industry involve considerable risk with a wide range of potential outcomes for a particular project. However, many economic evaluations are based on the &ldquo
most likely&rdquo
results of variables that could be expected without sufficient consideration given to other possible outcomes and it is well known that initial estimates of all these variables have uncertainty. The data is usually obtained during drilling of the initial oil well and the sources are geophysical (seismic surveys) for formation depths and areal extent of the reservoir trap, well logs for formation tops and bottoms, formation porosity, water saturation and possible permeable strata, core analysis for porosity and saturation data and DST (Drill-Stem Test) for possible oil production rates and samples for PVT (Pressure Volume Temperature) analysis to obtain FVF (Formation Volume Factor) and others. The question is how certain are the values of these variables and what is the probability of these values to occur in the reservoir to evaluate the possible risks. One of the most highly appreciable applications of the risk assessment is the estimation of volumetric reserves of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Monte Carlo and moment technique consider entire ranges of the variables of Original Oil in Place (OOIP) formula rather than deterministic figures. In the present work, predictions were made about how statistical distribution and descriptive statistics of porosity, thickness, area, water saturation, recovery factor, and oil formation volume factor affect the simulated OOIP values. The current work presents the case of two different oil fields in Turkey. It was found that both techniques produce similar results for 95%. The difference between estimated values increases as the percentages decrease from 50% and 5% probability.

Abstract:
Наряду с совершенствованием эксплуатации скважин и повышением продуктивности за счет работ по воздействию на призабойную зону пласта, одним из главных вопросов является повышение нефтеотдачи пласта. Актуальность этих вопросов не вызывает сомнения применительно к месторождениям Северного Кавказа. Особенные геологическиеусловия присущие продуктивным пластам Чеченской республики (большая глубина залегания, высокая температура и давление, неоднородность коллекторских свойств и т.д.) затрудняют или полностью исключают возможность применения известных методов физико-химического воздействия на пласты с целью интенсификации отборов нефти и повышения нефтеотдачи. На нефтегазодобывающих объектах ЧР применялись основные физико-химические, тепловые и гидродинамические методы повышения нефтеотдачи пластов Along with improving the operation of wells and increasing productivity due to the work on the impact on the bottomhole formation zone, one of the main issues is the increase in oil recovery. The relevance of these issues does not raise doubts in relation to the fields of the North Caucasus. The special geological conditions inherent in the productive formations of the Chechen Republic (large depth, high temperature and pressure, heterogeneity of reservoir properties, etc.) make it difficult or completely exclude the possibility of using known methods of physicochemical treatment of formations in order to intensify oil production and increase oil recovery. The main physical, chemical, thermal and hydrodynamic methods of enhanced oil recovery were used at oil and gas production facilities in the Chechen Republic

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Intisar A oil field is a Libyan field located in Concession 103 and has been in production since 1968. In this paper, we report the field evaluation results of the various productions enhancement techniques and initiatives applied for incremental oil production. The impact of improved recovery by various waterflood optimisation processes including infill well drilling, installations of ESPs, current well re-completion, and conversion wells were evaluated taking into consideration surface facility constraints. An incremental total daily production of 9872 STB/D was achieved in the overall optimisation projects with infill horizontal well drilling producing the highest incremental recovery. The internal rate of return for the overall project was 72% and a payback period of 3.4 years. The lessons learned, and recommendations for future development of the field were established.

Abstract:
Offshore hydrocarbon resources have been developed for many decades, and with technology improvements, many fields which were once impossible to develop, are now economically and technologically feasible. This has led to a growing difficulty in determining the legislative and regulatory framework for resources that straddle the recognized borders between two states. In this paper, we examine a successful framework agreement governing the transboundary resources between the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and Norway in the North Sea, and the agreement between the United States and Mexico governing the Gulf of Mexico. Following the 2013 Energy Reform, the Mexican energy sector has been revitalized, leading to greater exploration, development, and production than ever before. This means that in the near future transboundary resources may be licensed for production, bringing the issues highlighted in this paper to the attention of multiple government and international entities. This paper seeks to recommend improvements to the transboundary framework in the Gulf of Mexico based on the successful framework agreement utilized in the North Sea. This paper begins by introducing international law for offshore resources in Part II. Part III discusses the offshore regulatory regimes in the U.K. and Norway, analyzing how the two states have successfully used bilateral agreements to facilitate cooperation regarding effective exploitation and apportionment of costs from cross-boundary offshore oil and gas projects in the North Sea. Part IV discusses the offshore regulatory regimes in the United States and Mexico and analyzes the current transboundary agreement in place for the Gulf of Mexico. Part V compares the transboundary agreement governing the North Sea and the same governing the Gulf of Mexico. We highlight the major differences in the agreements and suggest changes to the Gulf of Mexico agreement based on the successful North Sea agreement. Finally, this paper concludes and provides key policy recommendations to improve the rules and regulations surrounding the exploitation of transboundary hydrocarbons in the Gulf of Mexico.
