SPE Live Distinguished Lecturer Series: Integrated Project Development of Offshore Fields
In this SPE Live DL episode, our guest presents an integrated view of the development of oil fields in deep and ultradeep waters, based on his experience of more than 20 years as a technical leader in this area. A didactical approach is used, discussing the desired and necessary information and technical analysis for the approval in each project gate: opportunity identification; conceptual design; basic design; execution; operation. This SPE Live starts discussing the data acquisition plan and the value of additional information. Then, several issues are addressed, such as: uncertainties or insecurities; value of flexibility and robustness; how to optimize recovery factor and NPV; gas management; CO2 capture and use for EOR; metrics for deepwater field development, among others. Throughout the SPE Live, the SPE DL presents several examples of his 10-year experience as the technical leader of the development of the Brazilian pre-salt fields in ultradeep water, detaching the importance of multidisciplinary teams to maximize the final recovery and the project value. Distinguished Lecturer: Antonio Capeleiro Pinto, Pre-Sal Petroleo S.A
