  • Exploration and Production
    2006-2009 Triennium Work Report October 2009 WORKING COMMITTEE 1: EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION Chair: Vladimir Yakushev Russia 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction SG 1.1 “Remaining conventional world gas resources and technological challenges for their development” report SG 1.2 “Difficult reservoirs and unconventional natural gas resources” report 2 INTRODUCTION Reliable natural gas supply becomes more and more important for world energy sector development. Especially this is visible in regions, where old and sophisticated gas infrastructure is a considerable part of regional industry and its stable work is necessary for successful economy development. In the same time such regions often are already poor by conventional gas reserves or have no more such reserves. And there is need for searching new sources of natural gas. This is challenge for exploration and production of natural gas requiring reviewing strategies of their development in near future. The most important questions are: how much gas still we can get from mature areas (and by what means), and how much gas we can get from difficult reservoirs and unconventional gas sources? From this point of view IGU Working Committee 1 (Exploration and Production of Natural Gas) has established for the triennium 2006-2009 two Study Groups: “Remaining conventional world gas resources and technological challenges for their development” and “Difficult reservoirs and unconventional natural gas resources”. The purposes for the first Group study were to make definition of such important term now using in gas industry like “mature area”, to show current situation with reserves and production in mature areas and forecast of future development, situation with modern technologies of produced gas monetization, Arctic gas prospects, special attention was paid to large Shtokman project.

  • Prices and Crisis – LNG and Australia's East Coast Gas Market
    March 2018 Prices and crisis: LNG and Australia’s East Coast gas market Introduction In 2017, a gas crisis emerged in Australia’s East Coast gas market. Gas prices had increased rapidly from mid-2016 as the full effect of the three LNG projects starting operations on Curtis Island worked through the gas market, putting domestic energy users under pressure. In March 2017, the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) forecast gas shortages in coming years, potentially leading to blackouts and industrial closures. While gas shortages are no longer forecast, challenges in the East Coast gas market remain. This paper examines recent events in Australia’s East Coast gas market, the challenges ahead, and the relevance of these developments for other countries.1 The paper identifies three phases in the East Coast gas market’s recent history. Firstly, between 2010 and mid-2016, prices in the East Coast gas market rose gradually, driven by LNG netbacks and the rising cost of gas production. Then, between mid-2016 and mid-2017, prices climbed above export parity levels, as gas that was previously being supplied to domestic consumers (both by LNG projects and by other producers) was diverted for export, leading to a deterioration in competition in the domestic market. Finally, as of mid-2017, prices appear to have stabilised around export parity levels,2 with LNG projects and other producers increasing gas sales to the domestic market. The episode of high prices during much of 2016 and 2017 highlights the impact that LNG projects can have on domestic gas prices on Australia’s East Coast.

(OLNG) is a limited liability incorporated joint venture Company organised, since 1994, under the Laws of the Sultanate of Oman. It engages in the business of producing and selling Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and by- product Natural Gas Liquids (NGL’s). The plant liquefies Natural gas using two identical process trains, with currently the single largest LNG production capacity of 3.3. mtpa in the world. Since the start in April 2000 the plant is now delivering LNG to Korea and Japan on a regular basis as well as spot cargoes to USA and Spain. The LNG plant has been successfully commissioned well within budget and on time due to the good collaboration between OLNG and its Contractors. Technically the plant is characterized by a very low specific capital cost, compared to other recent LNG projects. The paper describes the experience during engineering, construction and initial operation of the project characteristics that are new in the LNG industry and gives an overview of the key lessons learned.
