The operator’s deepwater discovery in the Gulf of Mexico is potentially commercial, and government analysis indicates the gulf holds 1.3 billion BOE more reserves than estimated.
This paper presents three examples covering both gas and oil fields at different stages of their lives that show how estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) and the corresponding range of EUR uncertainty varies over the life of each field.
Since the late 1930s, the offshore industry has advanced from the first platform in 14 ft of water to the ultradeepwater 20K era. Driven by seismic, drilling, and development breakthroughs, the industry has pushed into deeper waters, high-pressure reservoirs, and new frontiers like Guyana, continually expanding the limits of offshore exploration.
