Deep Water
Today's agenda—deepwater oil and gas
Numbers of deepwater rigs are set to quadruple by 2012. While rich potential rewards are driving exploration ever deeper, the challenges—both technical and logistical—are squeezing already constrained resources. Deep water is a complex, high-risk environment, with no shortcuts to success.
Formidable risks must be addressed and mitigated to meet deepwater objectives. Critical decisions require both breadth of global experience and depth of knowledge—to reduce uncertainties and minimize both timescales and costs.
Integration to create value and cut costs
Important advantages follow from integration of deepwater processes, and delivery by a worldwide support team. The highest value is created by early and accurate booking of reserves, reducing time to first oil and maximizing production. Costs are cut by reducing downtime, optimizing resource utilization, and securing reliable access to resources (both people and logistics).
