  • Deep Borehole Placement of Radioactive Wastes a Feasibility Study
    DEEP BOREHOLE PLACEMENT OF RADIOACTIVE WASTES A FEASIBILITY STUDY Bernt S. Aadnøy & Maurice B. Dusseault Executive Summary Deep Borehole Placement (DBP) of modest amounts of high-level radioactive wastes from a research reactor is a viable option for Norway. The proposed approach is an array of large- diameter (600-750 mm) boreholes drilled at a slight inclination, 10° from vertical and outward from a central surface working site, to space 400-600 mm diameter waste canisters far apart to avoid any interactions such as significant thermal impacts on the rock mass. We believe a depth of 1 km, with waste canisters limited to the bottom 200-300 m, will provide adequate security and isolation indefinitely, provided the site is fully qualified and meets a set of geological and social criteria that will be more clearly defined during planning. The DBP design is flexible and modular: holes can be deeper, more or less widely spaced, at lesser inclinations, and so on. This modularity and flexibility allow the principles of Adaptive Management to be used throughout the site selection, development, and isolation process to achieve the desired goals. A DBP repository will be in a highly competent, low-porosity and low-permeability rock mass such as a granitoid body (crystalline rock), a dense non-reactive shale (chloritic or illitic), or a tight sandstone. The rock matrix should be close to impermeable, and the natural fractures and bedding planes tight and widely spaced. For boreholes, we recommend avoiding any substance of questionable long-term geochemical stability; hence, we recommend that surface casings (to 200 m) be reinforced polymer rather than steel, and that the casing is sustained in the rock mass with an agent other than standard cement.

  • XI KAZENERGY EURASIAN FORUM: Securing the Future of Energy
    XI KAZENERGY EURASIAN FORUM: Securing the future of energy Opening Address Tor Fjaeran, President, World Petroleum Council Astana, 7th September 2017 Good morning your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen and thank you to our hosts of the KazEnergy Eurasian Forum. During the last three months Astana has been the nexus of the energy world and has showcased the best approaches and solutions for Future Energy. The EXPO 2017 couldn’t have chosen a more important topic to focus on. Together with food and water, they form the basic building blocks for sustainable development. Sustainable development of the world requires access to safe, affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy sources. Long before the term “climate change” was even introduced, the World Petroleum Council has been dedicated to promoting the sustainable management and use of the world’s petroleum resources for the benefit for all. Since 1933 our mandate has been to provide a neutral platform to bring together the best minds in the industry with key decision makers to discuss the best way forward for all involved in oil and gas. We face a very different world today, but our original mandate still applies. In the last half-century, the global population has more than doubled. Life expectancy has risen from 50 to 70. GDP is more than 30 times what it was. And extreme poverty has been halved. It is an extraordinary transformation. And it is one in which energy has been vital, more than trebling in consumption since the 1960s. And this trend will continue. Over the next quarter of century, we are going to see: • A world economy that will double again in size.

  • 2019 Field Reserve Estimate Summary Report
    BUREAU OF OCEAN ENERGY MANAGEMENT (BOEM) PACIFIC OCS REGION FIELD RESERVE ESTIMATE SUMMARY AS OF DECEMBER 2019 Prepared by: Chima Ojukwu, Supervisory Reservoir Engineer BOEM -Office of Strategic Resources 805.384.6362 [email protected] Nadia kadkhodayan, Reservoir Engineer BOEM -Office of Strategic Resources 805.384.6309 [email protected] Purpose of this Summary This document summarizes the results of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), Pacific OCS Region’s Field & Reservoir Reserve Estimates Report (FRRE). The full FRRE Report breaks down POCS reserves and known resources by field as well as productive zone. This is an annual report and is for internal use only. In this summary only the field reserves/resources are reported. Detailed descriptions of reserves and fields can be found in the POCS Region Reserves Reports available on our website at http://www.boem.gov/Oil-and-Gas-Energy-Program/Resource- Evaluation/Reserves-Inventory/RI-Pacific.aspx. It is our hope that these summaries will provide valuable information regarding reserves and production during the intervening period between Reserve Reports. In 2010 the Pacific Region of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement reclassified POCS reserves using the latest terminology and classification scheme published by the SPE in 2007. This major revision to their reserves classification system is called the Petroleum Resource Management System and is described by SPE as follows: “A new Petroleum Resources Management System was approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Board of Directors in March 2007, culminating two years of intense collaboration by SPE, the World Petroleum Council (WPC), the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), and the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (SPEE).

  • Shell Scenarios, Modelling and Decision Making
    Shell scenarios, modelling and decision making Royal Dutch Shell plc September 8, 2017 #makethefuture Royal Dutch Shell September 8, 2017 This presentation contains data from Shell’s New Lens Scenarios. The New Lens Scenarios are a part of an ongoing process used in Shell for 40 years to challenge executives’ perspectives on the Cautionary note future business environment. We base them on plausible assumptions and quantifications, and they are designed to stretch management to consider even events that may only be remotely possible. Scenarios, therefore, are not intended to be predictions of likely future events or outcomes and investors should not rely on them when making an investment decision with regard to Royal Dutch Shell plc securities. It is important to note that Shell’s existing portfolio has been decades in development. While we believe our portfolio is resilient under a wide range of outlooks, including the IEA’s 450 scenario, it includes assets across a spectrum of energy intensities including some with above-average intensity. While we seek to enhance our operations’ average energy intensity through both the development of new projects and divestments, we have no immediate plans to move to a net-zero emissions portfolio over our investment horizon of 10-20 years. The companies in which Royal Dutch Shell plc directly and indirectly owns investments are separate legal entities. In this presentation “Shell”, “Shell group” and “Royal Dutch Shell” are sometimes used for convenience where references are made to Royal Dutch Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general. Likewise, the words “we”, “us” and “our” are also used to refer to subsidiaries in general or to those who work for them.
