There’s lots of compelling reasons for countries to encourage domestic exploration for gas:

There’s less GHG emissions if customers in the country use gas from the country, rather than imported LNG.

The ‘balance of payments’ is better if a country’s money is spent in the country!

Big steps are being made with Carbon Capture & Storage, leading to a time when gas production/power supply is decarbonised, directly or via hydrogen, or indirectly as offsets.

More broadly, regional gas production will support eg Sub-Saharan Africa in lifting hundreds of millions of people out of Energy Poverty.

This webinar will look at basins that offer the potential for new gas discoveries, either as a boost for an existing Super Basin or in the creation of a new one – think of offshore Mauritania and Senegal for example.

Super Basins: Guyana again!

• Date: Friday, April 22, 2022
• Venue: Online
• Free

Let’s begin by lauding exploration efforts offshore Guyana as a considerable technical triumph by Exxon – profound understanding of actual and potential source rocks and petroleum systems followed by adroit use of 3D seismic and attribute (AVO) technologies, and perhaps above all, patience!

But the development?

All that flaring!!

Maybe this reveals ‘an elephant in the room’ with respect to FPSOs?

Yes, they can be a way of getting to 1st Oil very quickly and early cash flow for everybody…. operator, partners, host government. As in Guyana…

But that often comes as the price of having no gas handling and export capability, so produced gas either gets re-injected into the reservoir – with attendant early breakthrough risks – or flared.

Arguably then, is the net result that these hydrocarbons do not qualify as Advantaged?

We will examine the technical triumphs, the flaring question, Advantaged or not, in this webinar.

Super Basins: Could offshore Namibia be an Advantaged Super Basin?

• Date: 20 May 2022
• Venue: Online
• Free

Early reports suggest exploration efforts offshore Namibia have finally produced a profound technical triumph requiring, perhaps above all, patience!

It would be excellent for Namibia if this turned into a hydrocarbon province to rival in scale that offshore Ghana for example or, dare one say it, Guyana!

But we need to talk about the development now rather than later!

Maybe Guyana – with all that flaring - reveals ‘an elephant in the room’ with respect to FPSOs?

Yes, they can be a way of getting to 1st Oil very quickly è early cash flow for everybody….operator, partners, host government. As in Guyana……

But that often comes as the price of having no gas handling and export capability, so produced gas either gets re-injected into the reservoir (the solution for a while in the FPSO-developed Jubilee Field, offshore Ghana)– with attendant early breakthrough risks – or flared.

Arguably then, the net result – IMHO – would be that these hydrocarbons would not qualify as Advantaged?

Super Basins: Has East Africa's time come?

• Date: June 24, 2022
• Venue: Online
• Free

The concept of ‘stranded’ oil resources is now front and centre for many people in western countries.

However, in the interest of the economic development of East Africa and the people, development of crude oil and natural gas resources needs to happen. These developments need to be done to ‘international standards’ with due consideration of the impact on affected citizens ensuring that those citizens benefit from these developments.

Many will be aware of the delay in the Total operated Mozambique LNG project due to security and stability issues.

TotalEnergies, CNOOC International, the Uganda National Oil Company Limited (UNOC) National Oil Company(UNOC) and the Governments of Uganda and Tanzania announced that the final investment decision ( FID) for the #Tilenga, Kingfisher and East African Crude Oil Pipeline (#eacop ) projects has now been made.

It has taken over a decade of negotiating, ownership changes and new regulation and legislation in both countries to make this happen.

Congratulations should be offered to all the parties.

This is the ‘end of the beginning’

Now begins the work of drilling wells, building pipelines, feeding people, managing waste and hopefully benefiting the people who live in the region who have been affected by this massive project.

This webinar will focus on the many facets of this work!!
