Distinguished Lecture: Economic Surprises of Late-Life Production

Economic Surprises of Late-Life Production Dwayne Purvis, P.E. Purvis Energy Advisors Abstract: For years, decommissioning costs were an after-thought to decision-making. They did not affect cash flows or business plans, and sometimes reserve reports did not even include them. Now, many legacy fields both within the U.S. and globally are declining to their final life stage. Even with many producing years remaining and a positive net present value, the total future cash flow can be – surprisingly – negative. Operators may not be ready for the unexpected reality since our industry has spent too little forethought on quantifying the scope of decommissioning, estimating its costs, ensuring security for the long term, and especially preparing funds for the surprisingly early onset of those costs. Though the price boom of recent decades delayed and distracted from the inevitable, natural depletion and the outlook for declining oil demand bring the issue to front. Now the industry finds itself with insufficient nomenclature, knowledge, or practices to handle decommissioning well. This presentation explains the unexpected late-life economic dynamics, the dangers they create, and how to foresee and avoid financial and environmental traps. Biography: Dwayne Purvis, P.E. has spent nearly 30 years in reservoir engineering and executive leadership as a consultant and operator. He has led or participated in hundreds of engineering and strategic studies over dozens of basins in the United States and abroad. Mr. Purvis leads Purvis Energy Advisors, and he frequently teaches, speaks, and writes for industry organizations and for Texas Christian University. Dwayne is a registered professional engineer in the state of Texas, member of SPEE, AAPG, SEG, SIPES and an active, 25-year member of SPE. He has also recently completed a Master of Arts in sustainable energy at Johns Hopkins University.

Top-Down Methane Emissions Detection and Quantification Methods for Oil and Gas Facilities

Abstract: Methane emissions from oil and gas facilities are a significant contributor to climate change and need to be accurately assessed to manage reductions and to meet sustainability goals and reporting requirements. Multiple approaches exist to address the challenge of quantifying methane emissions, from traditional “bottoms-up” leak detection to new technologies remotely measuring emissions “top-down” using satellites, aircraft, drones, and fixed devices. Each method has different capabilities and limitations, and selecting appropriate solutions for a particular situation can be a challenging task. This presentation will provide an overview of the options available, with a focus on top-down measurements. One technique that is emerging as a versatile and efficient approach across varied operating environments is the use of drones equipped with highly sensitive methane sensors that directly measure methane plumes. The presentation will explore this use of drones in more detail for onshore, offshore, and LNG facilities. Regional case studies will be used to illustrate the applications and consideration given to implementation in Singapore. Dave Turner bio Dave Turner is Asia Pacific Region Director for SeekOps, based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Dave started his oil and gas career as a wireline engineer after completing his mechanical engineering degree and worked in the field for five years in locations across the Middle East.

Natural Hydrogen: A Geological Novelty or a Game Changer for the Energy Transition?

Hydrogen is currently in vogue as the ultimate low carbon, sustainable energy solution. World consumption is predicted to grow eight-fold from around 70 million tonnes annually today to more than 550 million tonnes by 2050. Over 90% of current hydrogen supply comes from fossil fuels but given the ambitious global net zero targets where will all this future hydrogen supply come from? Finding a new way to produce hydrogen which does not require significant energy input nor emit CO2 yet is commercially viable is therefore extremely important for the World. Natural/geologic hydrogen which is generated within the Earth by on-going geological processes is being suggested as one such source. Until recently even the concept of naturally occurring hydrogen on the Earth was deemed impossible given its reactive nature, low atomic weight and its extremely small molecular size. Consequently, the exploration for natural hydrogen is still very much in its infancy. What we do know is that natural hydrogen certainly exists at the Earth’s surface as seepages or as low pressure/low volume accumulations. However, can it be found trapped as a free gas at depth with pressures sufficient for commercial flow rates using existing drilling technologies? This talk will discuss current examples of natural hydrogen exploration but will focus on a project where reservoir burial depths are greater than 3 kilometres and subsurface temperatures approaching 100°C. It will illustrate using the 1963 Monzón-1 well in northern Spain what a by-passed natural hydrogen discovery looks like and how by using existing oil/gas technologies the discovery could form the basis for Europe’s first commercial natural hydrogen development. The one take away from this lecture should be that natural/geologic hydrogen exists, it can be explored for and hopefully produced commercially by leveraging existing oil/gas people and technologies. Distinguished Lecturer: Christopher Atkinson Chris has over 40 years’ experience in the energy/resource sector initially working for Shell and then Atlantic Richfield in their reservoir research divisions and ultimately as the Exploration Vice President of ARCO Europe/Eurasia before the merger with BP plc. In 2001 Chris left big oil and co-founded the predecessor of Serica Energy plc which today is one of the top ten oil and gas producers in the UK North Sea. In 2018 he co-founded Helios Aragon which is exploring for natural/geologic hydrogen and helium gas in Spain, UK, Poland, Australia and Oman. Chris also currently acts as a non-executive director of Lime Petroleum in Norway and is the Chairman and board member for Masirah Oil in Oman. Chris is a member of the SPE Singapore section, a past president and life member of SEAPEX (Southeast Asian Petroleum Exploration Society) and spent several years as an active council member of the IPA (Indonesian Petroleum Association). Chris holds both a BSc and PhD in Geology from the University of Wales, UK and has published numerous scientific articles throughout his career.

SPE DL_Navigating Uncertainty for Value with examples from petrophysics

Abstract: Throughout a field’s life cycle, different factors will contribute to reservoir uncertainty. As reservoirs mature, petrophysical properties often become a major source of uncertainty, especially as marginal rocks and complex fluid variations become increasingly important. Despite its importance, petrophysical uncertainty has received relatively little focus in the literature, yet it should be a core part of subsurface workflows. This lecture will present examples which highlight where petrophysical uncertainty has proven to be critical. By understanding uncertainty and analysing sensitivity, projects and businesses can improve outcomes. Risks tied to uncertainties can be managed more effectively, increasing the likelihood of achieving the expected business value. By identifying key uncertainties and sensitivities early in the process, teams can allocate resources more effectively and focus on areas that offer the largest potential impact. This early integration helps avoid last-minute changes, minimizes delays, and ensures that projects remain aligned with both technical and financial objectives. Integrating uncertainty into decision-making is effective at countering bias, strengthens project success and reduces unexpected challenges, allowing for resilient, well-informed decisions. The one idea that members should take away from this lecture is that uncertainty should be addressed prior to detailed studies and be continuously and fully integrated into subsurface workflows using data driven approaches. This will support the prioritisation of work, highlight future data requirements and ensure the impact of uncertainty is assessed at core, well, and model levels, minimising the impact of bias, leading to improved project performance and project outcomes.

SPE DL_Log-Based Permeability: What Are We Measuring?

Abstract: The estimation of rock permeability is essential for modeling reservoir performance and production history in oil and gas fields, as well as supporting reservoir management and development across various sectors, including geothermal and underground storage projects. Despite decades of research, accurately determining true permeability remains a challenge. The results are often marked by significant uncertainty. Effective permeability and flow potential in new wells are typically assessed using core and well testing. Advancements in logging technology and data analytics have expanded log evaluation techniques, enabling the development of innovative interpretation workflows, which allow for more representative calculations of permeability from logs. This lecture first reviews and compares existing permeability prediction methods and logbased typing approaches, emphasizing their advantages, applicability, and limitations when applied to heterogeneous rock systems. Apparent discrepancies in computed permeability profiles derived from various log data sources and domains are examined collaboratively, serving as a learning tool to enhance the understanding of heterogeneous pore connectivity and the distribution of flow pathways. Subsequently, integration of the latest advancements in hardware and evaluation techniques is introduced through a field example that provides a comprehensive multi-scale workflow to deliver understanding of the permeability field, connectivity, well deliverability, and recovery. I would like the audience to take away the idea that permeability is a critical parameter throughout all stages of reservoir management; being pertinent to a broad spectrum of disciplines and energy sectors. While predicting rock permeability remains challenging, significant progress can be achieved by integrating measurements and expertise through a collaborative approach.
