Unconventionals – The Next Frontier
• Heavy Oil
• Shale Gas
• Complex Reservoirs
• Shale Oil
…and don’t forget Deepwater
Pemex – Business Plan
• Deepwater
• Heavy Oil
• Complex Reservoirs
• Shale Gas/Oil
Challenges of Unconventionals
1. Mobility
2. Recovery Factor
3. Flow Assurance
4. Simulation
5. Characterization: fluids & reserv.
6. Well Placement
7. Well Construction & Completions
8. Energy and Water Management
9. Environmental Impact
Reservoir – Surface – Transportation– Upgrading– Refining– Marketing
In addition:
Complex reservoirs
Reservoir compartmentalization
Carbonates
Natural fractures
Offshore
Water management
Security
Other Challenges in Mexico
And Other Universal Challenges
Social
Political
Tax incentives (or lack of them)
Public Education
Security
Transition to Renewables
Enabling Technologies
• High-resolution Seismic & Processing
• Modeling • Subsea technology • Geosteering • MEMS Technology • Nanotechnology • Geochemistry • …. • Integration!
