| 1:35 pm | Ирак: прогнозы добычи A clutch of big oil multinationals has entered into service contracts with the country to develop several huge oilfields, including Rumaila, a monster that already delivers 1.1 million barrels per day, almost half of Iraq’s current output. BP is charged with raising the bar at Rumaila and by 2016 it expects output to reach a plateau of 2.8 million bpd, a level greater than the present output of every Opec state except Iran and Saudi Arabia. Others have joined the drilling frenzy. Shell, ExxonMobil, Italy’s Eni and Statoil of Norway are working alongside Russia’s Lukoil and Petronas, the Malaysian company, and this month CNOOC, the Chinese state oil company, put its shoulders behind Iraq’s oil reconstruction. The total potential is about 12 million bpd by 2016, equal to existing estimates of Saudi Arabia at maximum throttle. But Iraq is a huge headache for Opec, the oil cartel of which it is a passive member. Iraq has not had an oil output quota since 1998 because of the sanctions against Saddam Hussein’s regime. Its quota was almost equal to Iran, at 3.9 million bpd, reflecting the rivalry of the two countries, but war and neglect took their toll on Iraq’s oil industry and output is now 2.4 million bpd. The question is how Opec will bring Iraq back into the fold. Unless global demand for crude soars over the next five years, big cuts in the output of Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf states will be needed to accommodate it.

| 9:55 am | Undiscovered Oil and Gas of the Nile Delta Basin, Eastern Mediterranean Undiscovered Oil and Gas of the Nile Delta Basin, Eastern Mediterranean The U.S. Geological Survey estimated means of 1.8 billion barrels of recoverable oil, 223 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas, and 6 billion barrels of natural gas liquids in the Nile Delta Basin Province using a geology-based assessment methodology. ( Read more... ) The province encompasses approximately 250,000 square kilometers of the eastern Mediterranean area (fig. 1).  ( Read more... )  Schematic geologic cross section of the Nile Delta Basin Province illustrating the geologic definition of three of the four assessment units (AU) in this study (dotted red lines): Nile Margin Reservoir AU, Nile Cone AU, and Eratosthenes Seamount AU. The fourth AU, Mediterranean Ridge, is out of the plane of the cross section. Modified from Barber (1981) and Abdel Aal and others (2000). Location of projected section shown in figure 1. 1, Miocene (post-Messinian) and Pliocene-Quaternary; 2, Messinian Salt; 3, Miocene (pre-Messinian); 4, Paleogene-Cretaceous; 5, hypothesized pre-Cretaceous; 6, Eratosthenes Seamount. ( Read more... ) Petroleum charge is confirmed by more than 100 producing fields, numerous oil seeps, mud volcanoes, and gas chimneys imaged on seismic profiles (Loncke and others, 2004). Reservoirs are Mesozoic to Paleogene carbonate and clastic reservoirs and Neogene-Quaternary deltaic, nearshore marine, deep-water slope channel, and sheet and fan sandstones (Cross and others, 2009; Samuel and others, 2003) and Messinian-age (latest Miocene) incised-valley-fill deposits (Dolson and others, 2001a). Traps are structural and stratigraphic with numerous modifications because of inversion, salt removal, normal faults, growth faults, and mass transport (Loncke and others, 2006). Migration was enhanced by major intersecting fault systems. Lithologic and diagenetic seals were effective in creating pressure compartments (Nashaat, 1998). The Nile Margin Reservoirs AU is assumed to be sourced from deeper thermally mature source rocks, but currently only one oil field of minimum size is present in the AU. The Nile Cone AU is thought to be sourced mainly from thermally mature Neogene deltaic source rocks, but also there might be a significant biogenic gas component (Vandre and others, 2007). The Nile Cone AU contains two oil fields and 126 gas fields. Geologic Model - Nile Delta Basin The geologic model used in the assessment of the Nile Delta Basin was derived from comparison of geologic analogs, oil and gas production data, proved reserves, and potential oil and gas resources for the maturely explored Niger Delta Province (Brownfield and others, 2010). The USGS used a minimum undiscovered field size of 5 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBOE). Assessment Results Estimates of volumes of undiscovered technically recoverable oil and gas resources are shown in table 1.  Table 1. Nile Delta Basin Province assessment results. [MMBO, million barrels of oil. BCFG, billion cubic feet of gas. MMBNGL, million barrels of natural gas liquids. Results shown are fully risked estimates. For gas accumulations, all liquids are included as NGL (natural gas liquids). Undiscovered gas resources are the sum of nonassociated and associated gas. F95 represents a 95 percent chance of at least the amount tabulated; other fractiles are defined similarly. Largest expected oil field in MMBO; largest expected gas field in BCFG. TPS, total petroleum system; AU, assessment unit. Gray shading indicates not applicable]. The mean of the distribution for undiscovered oil is about 1,763 million barrels of oil (MMBO), with a range from 491 MMBO to 4,266 MMBO. For undiscovered gas, the total mean volume is 223,242 billion cubic feet of gas (BCFG), with a range from 92,614 to 425,935 BCFG. For natural gas liquids, the total mean volume is 5,974 million barrels of natural gas liquids (MMBNGL), with a range of 2,451 to 11,464 MMBNGL. By far the largest resource is estimated to be in the Nile Cone AU, with a mean volume of 217,313 BCFG and 5,789 MMBNGL. These estimates represent technically recoverable oil and gas resources; no attempt was made to estimate economically recoverable resources.
