Questions for Mayank Ashar, managing director and chief executive officer (CEO) of Cairn India.

Coupled, full-field, integrated, holistic, or asset: Call it what you will, this class of modeling is becoming increasingly commonplace.

The unconventional boom that has swept across North America over the past decade is a testament to how game-changing technology combined with expanded knowledge and understanding has transformed the paradigm of hydrocarbon production.

Simulation of coupled flow and geomechanics is of rising importance as unconventional subsurface exploration pushes the operational envelope of geological media.

There has been increasing interest in integrated simulation of reservoirs, wells, and surface facilities, which is particularly important for companies with major assets in deep offshore fields.

Field X in the North Sea was discovered in the 1980s, and large subsurface uncertainties exist regarding reservoir extent, fluid contacts, and reservoir properties.

Constructing and refining complex reservoir models are challenging and time-consuming tasks that entail a high degree of uncertainty.

Field X consists of 17 scattered clusters of more than 100 oil wells producing from different reservoirs.

This paper focuses on analysis of beam-pump-failure root causes and trends and how the operator has used these data combined with automated equipment to reduce failure frequency and operating cost.

One thing this cycle has in common with all of the other down cycles the industry has been through is that most companies ignore the opportunities a down cycle presents.
