OVERVIEW OF THE UPSTREAM OIL & GAS SECTOR

1
Introduction to the Upstream Sector
The upstream oil and gas industry is involved in the exploration and production (E&P) of oil or gas from onshore or
offshore oil or gas fields. The key activities include exploration for oil & gas, appraisal of the oil & gas field, development,
production, operations and maintenance, and then abandonment.
Crude oil, condensate and natural gas are extracted during the
production phase.
9836-14 9

Introduction to the Upstream Sector (Contd)
Exploration and appraisal involves interpreting seismic data for potential hydrocarbon deposits. Test wells are drilled
for further evaluation / assessment. The value of the reserves is estimated and if the field is found feasible, activities
shift to the development phase.
In the development stage, structures for production of oil & gas are constructed. Associated facilities are also built. All
this involves detailed engineering and project management. The duration of exploration, appraisal and development
phase may last around 5 to 7 years.
The hydrocarbons are extracted during the production phase. Operations and maintenance strategies are formulated
to meet production targets. Maintenance ensures most optimal production capability of a platform by reducing facilities
un-planned shutdown or un-planned reduction in producing capabilities. In retrofitting, the platforms are modified and
upgraded to provide for increase in production capability, expand capacity and increase the useful lives of the
platforms.
As the oil producing asset starts to age, additional maintenance, modifications and upgrade-works are carried out to
prolong the useful life of the asset and restore or expand the capacity. The typical duration of the production phase is
30 to 35 years.
Once the oil well reaches a stage where it can no longer produce hydrocarbons cost effectively, it is plugged and the
structures are dismantled.

Upstream Sector - China
Around 85.0 percent of Chinese oil production capacity is located onshore. Although offshore exploration & production
(E&P) activities have increased substantially in recent years, Chinas interior provinces, particularly in the northwests
Xinjiang Province, have also received significant attention.
The onshore Junggar, Turpan-Hami, and Ordos Basins have all been the site of increasing E&P work, although the
Tarim Basin in northwestern Chinas Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has been the main focus of new onshore oil
prospects. Reserve estimates for Tarim vary widely, with some estimates as high as 78 billion barrels of total in-place oil
reserves.
The basin is home to Sinopecs Tahe oil field, with an estimated 996 million tons of in-place oil and gas reserves after a
recent addition of 135 million tons in 2008.
Chinese policymakers and state-owned oil companies have embarked on a multi-pronged approach to improve oil
security by purchasing equity oil stakes abroad, diversifying suppliers, enacting new policies to lower demand, investing
in energy substitutes, building strategic oil reserves, and maximizing domestic production.
Accordingly, Chinas emerging oil companies are being recognized as significant players in international exploration and
production , oilfield services, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects worldwide.

Upstream Sector - India
India has 26 sedimentary basins spanning 3.14 million sq. km of which 1.35 million sq. km. is deep water (more than
200m depth). A substantial part is un-explored or poorly explored, with a well density of less than 1 well per 250 sq km.
Most of Indias crude oil reserves are located offshore, in the west of the country, and onshore in the northeast.
Substantial reserves, however, are located offshore in the Bay of Bengal and in Rajasthan state.
Indias largest oil field is the offshore Mumbai High field, located north-west of Mumbai and operated by ONGC. Another
of Indias large oil fields is the Krishna-Godavari basin, located in the Bay of Bengal. Block D6 in the Krishna-Godavari
basin, operated by Reliance Industries, began oil production in September 2008.
Till late eighties, the entire upstream activity was concentrated in ONGC & OIL the two National Oil Companies
(NOCs) , and the acreage was given on a nomination basis. In 1990s some unexplored as well as discovered areas
were opened for international competitive bidding, and PSC regime was experimented with. This led to pronouncement
of New Exploration & Licensing Policy (NELP) in 1998. Since then the practice of nomination has been stopped, and
the entire acreage is given through competitive bidding under NELP rounds.
The primary mechanism through which the Indian government has promoted new E&P projects has been the NELP
framework. The latest round of auctions, NELP VIII, was launched in April 2009 and attracted nearly $1.1 billion in
investment. India currently plans to launch the NELP IX bidding round in the third quarter of 2010.
Domestic exploration and drilling activities are at an all time high. This has increased the demand for drilling services.
The domestic supply of drilling rigs is dependent on the global supply and demand. The demand from India caused a
shortage of drilling rigs in the region in 2008.
Opportunities exist for both domestic and foreign companies to explore and develop oil & gas resources.

Upstream Sector - ASEAN
Hydrocarbon reserves in the ASEAN region have steadily increased in the last 5 years with significant discoveries being
made in the deepwater areas.
Exploration drilling in ASEAN remains high, indicating a positive perception towards ASEAN upstream potential
amongst the international oil companies.
Success rate and discovery size in ASEAN have been outperforming worldwide trends, indicating that great potential
still exists in the region. The size of new discoveries in maturing plays is getting smaller. To reverse the declining trend
of large discoveries, new play exploration is crucial.
The ASEAN region is perceived as a relatively mature region for hydrocarbon exploration though there exists many
unexplored areas in the region.
Significant opportunities exist in deepwater and also small (marginal) fields development.
Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei are established players in the upstream oil & gas sector. Thailand and Vietnam are
emerging as strong areas for upstream activities. Philippines has some upstream activity. Cambodia has been in the
news for developing its offshore assets.
The ASEAN countries co-operate to develop hydrocarbon resources. Some of the co-operation area are:

Upstream Sector - Australia
Australia has 29 trillion cubic feet of proven natural gas reserves, as of January 2009 . A majority of these natural gas
reserves are located off the western coast in the Carnarvon Basin. The Bonaparte Basin off the northern coast, the
Cooper/Eromanga Basin in central Australia and the Bass/Gippsland Basin offshore southern Australia are other
important natural gas fields. Apart from these, there are smaller fields off the southern coast and central regions.
The petroleum industry is dominated by large multinational companies. Most petroleum projects are high investment
projects. Also vertically-integrated oil & gas companies have many advantages.
The Australian petroleum industry has the established presence of large global oil & gas firms such as ExxonMobil, BP,
Shell, Chevron, Talisman Energy and ConocoPhillips.
The industry also has domestic companies that operate on a global scale such as BHP Billiton, Woodside Petroleum
and Santos

Upstream Sector - New Zealand
As at 1 January 2010, New Zealands reported oil reserves stood at 171.4 million barrels (mmbbls), down from 181.8
million barrels the previous year, while gas reserves stood at 2,076 PJs, up from 1,975 PJs the previous year. 39% of
total oil reserves come from the Maari and Tui fields which do not provide any gas to the local market. Half of reported
gas reserves lie in the Pohokura field, with a further 22% coming from the Maui and Kapuni fields, the historic
mainstays of New Zealand gas supply. The recently developed fields Kupe and Turangi provide for a further 19% of
reported gas reserves.
The costs of exploration in New Zealand have increased. With discoveries dwindling, investment in exploration is
becoming more risky.
Some of the companies operating in New Zealand are Horizon Oil, Cue Energy, Shell, BP, Mobil Exxon, OMV, Todd
corporation, Greymouth petroleum, AWE New Zealand Pty Ltd.
American company Anadarko and Brazilian Petrobras are also involved in exploration activities in New Zealand.

However, development of hydrocarbon reserves in the region has been hindered by disagreements between Japan and
Claims overlap China over the demarcation of their maritime boundary.
with China for Japan has objected to Chinas exploration and production activities in the Chunxiao natural gas field (also known as the
oil & gas fields Shirakaba field in Japan), which is three miles west of the median line in the East China Sea, but which Japan contends
in East China may be tapping natural gas reserves that extend east of the median line. China does not recognize this median line, as
Sea it believes it falls in its exclusive economic zone.
The Japanese and Chinese governments participated in several rounds of bilateral negotiations aimed at resolving the
impasse, and in June 2008, the two countries reached an agreement on the joint development of the Chunxiao field.
The cooperative agreement broadly expressed joint development plans for oil and gas fields in the East China Sea and
specifically invites Japan to take a stake in the Chunxiao project and to jointly develop the Longjing field.

Overseas Investment
In an effort to mitigate the countrys lack of domestic oil resources, Japanese oil companies have sought participation in
exploration and production projects overseas. The governments 2006 energy strategy plan urges Japanese companies
to increase energy exploration and development projects around the world to secure a stable supply of oil and natural
gas. Furthermore, the plan contains the goal of importing 40 percent of the countrys oil requirements from Japanese-
owned concessions by 2030, up from the current level of about 15 percent.
Japans overseas oil projects are primarily located in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Apart from Inpex, Japanese oil companies involved in exploration and production projects overseas include: Cosmo
Oil, Idemitsu Kosan Co. Ltd., Japan Energy Development Corporation, Japex, Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Nippon Oil, and
others.
Many of these companies are involved in small-scale projects that were originally set up by JNOC. However, many of
the high profile upstream projects that Japanese firms have pursued abroad have faced obstacles and other setbacks.

Upstream Sector - Japan (Contd...)
Although Japan is not a major oil producing country, it has a robust oil sector, comprised of various state-run, private,
and foreign companies. Although the country is open to foreign investment in the energy sector, government restrictions
and regulations have historically limited the involvement of international oil companies in Japan.
Until 2004, Japans oil sector was dominated by the Japan National Oil Corporation (JNOC), which was formed by
the Japanese government in 1967 and charged with leading oil exploration and production domestically and overseas.
In November 2001, the Japanese government announced the planned breakup of JNOC. The move was part of the
governments wider reform agenda, designed to spin off JNOCs profitable business units into new companies and
introduce greater competition into Japans energy sector.
Many of JNOCs activities were spun off into the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) in
2004. JOGMEC is a state-run enterprise charged with aiding Japanese companies involved in exploration and
production overseas and the promotion of commodity stockpiling at home. Some of JNOCs most successful business
units formed new companies. Two of the largest to be formed through this process are Inpex, now Japans largest oil
company, and the Japan Petroleum Exploration Co., Ltd. (Japex). Both companies carried out successful initial
public offerings (IPOs) on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, although the Japanese government maintains an equity stake in
each firm.
As in the oil industry, Inpex and the companies created from the former Japan National Oil Company are the primary
participants in Japans upstream natural gas sector. Besides Inpex, various other Japanese companies, including
Mitsubishi and Mitsui, are actively involved in natural gas exploration and production efforts, primarily overseas.

China
Feb 2010: Husky Oil China has made its third significant gas discovery on Block 29/26 in the
South China Sea.
The Liuhua 29-1 exploration well was drilled 43 kilometers northeast of the Liwan 3-1 Gas
Field and 20 kilometers northeast of the LH 34-2 Gas Field in a water depth of 723 meters.
The new Liuhua 29-1 field, which will be appraised later this year, will utilize the Liwan field
infrastructure.
The West Hercules deepwater drilling rig is currently preparing to spud the first delineation
well on the Liuhua 34-2 discovery.
April 2010: The Penglai (PL) 9-1 well, at a depth of about 29 meters, yielded 540 barrels of crude oil a day during test
drilling.
May 2010: SINOPEC has made a new oil discovery in its flagship Shengli oil field in a test drilling conducted at the
beginning of May, the company-run news web site reported on Thursday. According to the report, the discovery was made
in Chengdong-11 oil well, which is located in Binhai Area of Shengli oil field, registering a daily crude oil output of 52.13
cubic meters during the test drill in early May. The oil field, which ranks China's second largest crude oil producing oil
field, also reported a new oil find in Luo-68 oil well in Bonan Area in April 2010.
But no details are available to ascertain whether the discoveries would be significant enough to prevent the oil field from
further production decline. After 45 years of development, Shengli oil field has lost momentum for output increase in
recent years. Its annual output maintained at about 27 million metric tonnes in the past five years.

Facilities being managed by Hess in Gresnik, East Java worth $165.7million is expected to produce 25,000bpd and
6000 barrels of LPG per day.
Aug 2010: In the Natuna Sea block A offshore Indonesia, Premier announced that Gajah Baru project is progressing
well. This is the first of various fields which will be developed to supply additional gas to Singapore and Batam under
three new gas sales agreements signed in 2008.
Fabrication continues at two yards in Batam of the wellhead platform and the central processing platform. By end-July,
the overall Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation contract was over 63% complete. The wellhead
platform currently is being installed, with development drilling due to start in September. Premier adds that the project
remains on track to deliver first gas in October 2011.
With demand for gas in the area increasing, Premier has drawn up a five-year exploration plan for the block, with a
prospect inventory review in progress to determine the remaining risked resource potential. Two exploration wells
could be drilled next spring on the Anoa Deep and Biawak Besar prospects.

Vietnam
The government of Vietnam has opened its petroleum sector to more categories of
businesses and relaxed restrictions with an amended decree that allows enterprises as
well as all foreign and Vietnamese organizations and individuals to participate effective
from Feb 2010.
Under the new decree, with all exploration and drilling activities required to be carried
out through PetroVietnam, exploration contacts can be extended if the work is not
completed on schedule. The decree also supplements some regulations related to
bidding, permitting companies and individuals involved in petroleum exploration and
drilling to hire sub-contractors
Vietnams oil & gas exploration activities stepped up and gained a lot of success in
2009. In 2009, the Vietnam Oil & Gas group had 6 domestic oil & gas discoveries,
increasing the countrys domestic oil & gas reserves to 34 million tonnes. Vietnam is
promoting the domestic industry to support the oil & gas industry. In 2009, building a
new 60 meter oil rig was commenced to replace the oil rig that had been hire from a
foreign country.

FPSO Markets - Introduction
Introduction to FPSO

FPSO Markets - Overview
One of the hardest hit sectors in 2009's global energy industry downturn was the floating production, storage and
offloading vessel (FPSO) market.
The FPSO market was adversely affected by concerns over weakening oil demand and a reduction in available
investment capital, which undermined the stable market conditions required to initiate FPSO projects-typically long-term
and capital-intensive in nature.
As a result, there were no new FPSO contracts awarded in 2009 during the first half of 2009; a stark contrast to the
record activity from 2004 to 2008.
However, as the last quarter of 2009 showed early signs of recovery in the wider economy, there was activity for new
units to be ordered.
Looking forward into 2010, the stage is now set for the FPSO market to recover, with strong long-term market
fundamentals being complemented by more stable commodity price movements and the emerging prospects of global
economic recovery.
New dynamics in the global FPSO market, such as demand growth in Asia, the greater role of smaller independent oil
companies and the increased importance of smaller offshore oil fields will drive market growth.
The FPSO market has risen to prominence recently as the offshore oil industry has delved into ever deeper and more
remote locations, and the market is entering a mature phase.

The FPSO market has grown as the offshore oil industry has ventured into deeper and more remote
locations. The market is in entering the maturity phase.
FPSO projects are mostly long-term and need large capital outlay. Stable market conditions are
necessary for the FPSO projects to take-off. The FPSO was negatively impacted by the 2009
economic recession.
The FPSO market is on the road to recovery. Good prospects indicated for 2011 and beyond.

FPSO Markets - Innovation
Innovation is important but tough sell with major oil & gas companies
Smaller independent operators more open to selecting new innovative designs compared to large multi-national
operators.
The primary aim of innovation is to reduce costs of the vessels, other development components and project
operations.
New design concepts are proposed by engineering companies, contractors and fabricators.
An innovative new FPS design can reduce the capital and operating costs.
An unproven concept must have cost advantage over other rival field proven solutions if it is to compete.
A minimum savings of 10-20% on capital expenditure and or operation expenditure relative to proven solutions
are required to justify for an operator to choose a new FPS design.

6 OVERVIEW OF ASIA PACIFIC OIL FIELD DRILLING
EQUIPMENT & SERVICES
74
6
Introduction to Drilling
In a broad sense, operators drill two basic types of wellsexploratory (to find new oil or gas deposits) and
development (to prepare the discovery for production). Water depths range from 20 to 400 feet for jack-up rigs to up to
10,000 feet for semisubmersibles and drillships.
Offshore exploration and development wells are often drilled from mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs). Depending
on the water depth and remoteness of the location, these rigs may be jack-ups (up to 400 feet of water), or
semisubmersibles, or drillships (up to 10,000 feet of water). Jack-ups are bottom-supported units; semisubmersibles
and drillships are floating units (floaters).
In terms of numbers, jack-up rigs drill most offshore wells. Semisubmersibles run a distant second, and drillships come
in third, though most of the major new discoveries today are being made by the floaters in deep water. Oil companies
(operators) select rigs that are specifically suited for a particular job, because each rig and each well has its own
specifications and the rig must be matched to the well.

Jack-ups, Drillships, Semi-submersibles and Tender Rigs
9836-14 76
6
Jack-ups, Drillships, Semi-submersibles and Tender Rigs (Contd)
Semi-submersible drilling units are used in open ocean areas. They can drill
in very deep water.
These structures are called semi-submersibles because their legs are flooded
with water for extra stability in the open ocean.
Self-Erecting Tender Rigs (SETR's) have been used in South East Asia,
West Africa and the Middle East for 40 years for drilling development wells
from fixed platforms.
However, with focus on use of dry completions in deep water with the Xmas
trees installed on a floating platform like a TLP or SPAR - the self-erecting
tender rig concept presents many benefits for field development also in deep
water, particularly for marginal field development, where the field economics
may depend on solutions using small, remote controlled wellhead TLP's.
9836-14 77

Offshore Outlook
Offshore Outlook
Utilization is strong in the deepwater segment, near 90% currently. A total of 22 newly constructed and uncommitted
deepwater rigs were entering the market over the next two years, including five in 2010. Currently four deepwater
semisubmersibles are idle, with another 12 with contracts expiring during the year.
The mid water segment has a utilization of only 80%, with 14 rigs idle and another 33 ending contracts in 2010. Another
problem here is that with all the idle capacity in the deepwater segment, rigs here sometimes compete with mid water rigs.
The jack up market is faring badly. Fifty rigs will be completed over the next two years, with 33 entering the market in
2010 and 17 in 2011. Most of this capacity was built on speculation without signed contracts. To add to this surplus, 47%
of all jack up rigs have contracts expiring during 2010.
Analysts are however optimistic that demand will exceed supply in the jack up market by the end of 2010.
The offshore rig market is still suffering the impact of rabid overbuilding at the peak of the last cycle, and a rush into
onshore plays due to the shale gas boom. These obstacles to recovery may hurt the industry for quite some time.
