Amerikasta 800 kilopyttyä lisää vuosittain?(Tuotanto +60%?)

"Technological breakthroughs are freeing up oceans of black gold from plays in the United States and Canada. Couple that with rising production from Alberta’s oil sands and North American markets are flush in domestic oil, which is leading many giddy Americans to think they are on the cusp of achieving a treasured goal: energy independence. CIBC World Markets Inc. agrees with that view and says that North American oil production can grow by 800,000 to 900,000 barrels per day (bpd) annually through 2016."

Öljyntuotanto, tuotantokapasiteetti tulee kasvamaan Pohjois-Amerikassa merkittävästi seuraavina vuosina, tuo on varmaa, mutta minkälainen vaikutus tällä kasvulla on hintaan ei ole selvä. Tiukan öljyn ja tervahiekan uusien projektien tuotantokustannukset eivät ole matalat. Tiukalla öljyllä kokonaiskustannus skaala alkaa tämän hetken projekteissa 40 dollarista ja jatkuu yli 80 dollariin, keskiarvon ollen yli 60 dollaria. Offshoren kustannukset ovat nousseet Yhdysvalloissa uusien kalustovaatimuksien, lisääntyneiden tarkastuksien ja pidempien käsittelyaikojen myötä. Uutta porauskalustoa on kuitenkin tilattu hurjasti, mikä voi näkyä kustannuksissa muutaman vuoden sisällä.

Öljyjalosteiden kulutus on yhä laskussa Pohjois-Amerikkassa ja Euroopassa. Kysynnän kasvu on hidastunut merkittävästi Aasiassa.

Big Benin Tartar-biffi herkkua?

Melko pian pitäisi tulla selkoa:

 The first horizontal well to be drilled targeting the Ordovician Bir Ben Tartar Formation in the Ghadames Basin of Southern Tunisia was completed on July 1, 2012 with the rig release of the TT16 well.

 The TT16 well is the first multi-stage, hydraulically fractured horizontal well in Tunisia. It is also the largest multi-stage job attempted by Schlumberger on the African continent. Despite the significant challenges associated with logistics, equipment, and manpower, the operation was completed successfully and represents a valid test of this recognized technology in a new application. The target reservoir on the BBT concession is a thick (up to 50 metres of pay column), low permeability (average close to one millidarcy permeability), heterogeneous clastic reservoir that demonstrates commercial flow rates from stimulated vertical wells. The application of horizontal wells in this low quality, conventional reservoir is an attempt to increase the rate per well and ultimate recovery relative to what can be achieved with fractured vertical wells.

Kahden viikon päästä pitäisi olla kuukauden edestä testausta takana. Useimmiten tuollainen itsensä ja kumppanien onnittelu pelkän reijän rykäisystä on huono merkki tulevan kannalta. Tiedotteen mukaan poraus ja frakkus on onnistunut, joten testilukujen pitäisi antaa realistinen kuva kaivon potentiaalista.

MUR: Muskwa & SAB

 MUR Q1 CC:

Our fifth North American resource play is located in Northern Alberta, the Muskwa oil play. So far, we have an accumulated 170,000 net acres in our first well flowed light oil with initial production rate in the 50 to 100 barrel a day range. This is somewhat encouraging, and we are looking to put that well on pump for further evaluation. It is still early days for us, and we are planning to drill another well later this year to continue testing the play and our completion techniques. 

ja

 In Southern Alberta, we continue to see positive results from our first well completed in the Three Forks zone, with production rates now over 400 barrels of oil per day of light oil, a well that has been producing over 120 days. We have fixed the wax buildup in that well and have been rewarded with these higher rates, a promising sign for this area. We have just completed our second well on the same zone and are monitoring initial production results. With this encouragement, I expect to step up activity here this year.

Kukaan ei vaikuta saaneen erityisen positiivisia tuloksia Muskwa-kaivoista.

The slides you had, the other zones in Williston Basin and you can do some work there, which of those zones would you say are sort of continuous-type reservoirs and which ones do you think might be discrete?

Jeffery Larson

This is Jeff. The Scallion, I think is going to be variable. We're very excited about the upside in the Scallion. It's basal Lodgepole. It's perfectly positioned. It's got a world-class source rock, the upper Bakken Shale right underneath it. So all you need is fractures or any enhanced porosity that's going to charge.

We'll see in a couple of quarters, and we like what we see. I've got the guys mapping it across the basin. I think it's got resource potential. I don't think -- I think it's going to be in the sweet spot.

Some of the other reservoirs, we're starting to really dial in on some of these other opportunities in the basin. We're looking at Miscu [ph], Dubro [ph], a whole wealth of different intervals. A number of those are stratigraphic in nature.

The other one that's got us intrigued, and you've heard of the North Dakota Industrial Commission talk about it, is the Heath/Tyler section. And that's shallower. It's about 8,500 and 9,000 feet. It's Pennsylvanian age, and it's got a group of source rocks, shales, not unlike the Bakken Shale, intermingled with sandstones that have variable porosity. And I think you'll see us core that this year. And we're getting good shows in our wells. I think you'll see us is core it in McKenzie County. And that could be a much more blanket-type resource play in the future.

Does that Heath -- does that change a whole lot from the Central Montana Heath?

Jeffery Larson

Yes, it's a different animal. It looks different to us.

OBS! Scallion ei ole shale, joten otsikko on harhaan johtava.

Kultakuumesta oppia liuskekuumeeseen

Petrokonsultti AJM:n tammikuisesta esitelmästä:



Mielestäin lukemisen arvoinen presentaatio.

Muutamia muodostelmia joista joku saattaa olla se seuraava suuri epätavanomainen öljy/nesteresurssi: Utica Ohion seudulla(CHK?), Chainman Nevadassa(Cabot Oil & Gas), Smackover/BDL Mississipissä/Lousianassa/Arkansissa, Tuscaloosa Lousianassa/Mississipissä ja Muskwa Pohjois-Albertassa(EOG & Husky). EOG:n(?) ensimmäinen Muskwa-horisontaali, jonka IP oli 200 tynnyriä tuottaa ilmeisesti vieläkin kaupallisia määriä.
Montanan Heath-liusketta näyttää muutama taho yrittävän vieläkin saada tuottamaan, mutta tulokset ovat varsin heikkoja
