The Poles were bang on time
It must have been a good moment for PGNiG Norway’s Subsurface and Exploration manager Chris Dart to present his company’s business outlook at the recent NCS Exploration Strategy Conference in…

Myanmar oil and gas exploration, delayed but not forgotten
In 2015, Duncan Witts described Myanmar as “one of the World’s current hotspots for oil and gas exploration…”. Forward to 2022, exploration and foreign investment have significantly declined due to…
Evaluating Fluid Drainage Dynamics in Resource Plays
In this article we discuss how fluid chemistry can be deployed to directly confirm or refine the assumptions made when optimising developments in hydrocarbon production from resource plays.
A closer look at Baodao 21-1
The Baodao 21-1 discovery is not new, but its volumes have recently been confirmed by the Chinese government. Time to put the discovery in a regional context.
The often-forgotten potential of Africa’s landlocked countries
While most of the focus is on the offshore of Africa, and in more recent years the deepwater, the landlocked countries of the vast continent are often ignored.
The last field development of the Siri Canyon Play?
When Ineos acquired Hess’ South Arne assets last year, the opportunity to develop the nearby Solsort discovery – already in Ineos’ hands – became a logical next step. So, it…
Who Owns the Oil?
The why and how of unitisation. Nature does not respect the licence boundaries drawn on a map by humans. Oil and gas accumulations straddling licence boundaries are common. The size…
Small changes can bring significant value
OKEA is working towards extending the economic life of mid- to late-life assets in a field with excellent reservoir properties. This requires a creative approach.
Ten Reasons why 3D Geo-modeling and Flow Simulation Must Be Integrate
Flow simulation is the reservoir engineer’s tool of predilection, providing understanding of how fluid flows through the reservoir and how it can optimally be extracted. 3D Geo Modeling and Flow…
The High Impact Hydrocarbon Potential of the Orange Basin
While the Mississippi, Congo, Nile, and many other major deltas around the world have been, and are being, successfully explored and developed, the vast Orange Basin offshore South Africa and…
Revolutionising History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment
When planning future production, new technology that replaces manual history matching of reservoir models represents a key advance for reservoir engineering. Revolutionising History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment
Solveig – a complex character
As presented by Ronald Sørlie during the NCS Exploration – Recent Discoveries Conference in Oslo this month, the second last oil discovery for Lundin on the Norwegian Shelf proved that…
