Johan Sverdrup: Economic Model
We have modelled the economics of Equinor’s Johan Sverdrup oilfield. Our model spans >250 lines of inputs and outputs, so you can flex key assumptions. In particular, we have tested the impact of different decline rates and recovery factors on the field’s ultimate value.

Deploying the Digital Twin
This data-file tabulates 36 recent technical papers into “digital twins” since 2017, in order to understand how the technology is being deployed around the upstream oil and gas industry: principally to improve platform uptime, prevent rig downtime and inspect subsea infrastructure.

Offshore Capex for Technology Leaders?
The lowest-cost offshore projects are not “easy oil”. They are the ones being developed with leading technologies. This data-file measures a -88% correlation coefficient between different Major’s offshore patent filings in 2018 and their most recent projects’ capex costs.

Inflow Control: Our Top 20 Papers from 2019
This data-file summarises twenty recent papers using inflow control devices: an exciting digital technology to optimise horizontal wells by limiting production from zones that are susceptible to flowing water or gas. Each paper is categorized by company, country, field and focus. Also included are our ‘Top 10’ facts from the technical literature.

De-Manning Deepwater?
We estimate a typical deepwater oilfield could save $15-20/bbl by “de-manning”, if implemented correctly. This data-file contains our workings, across 15 cost lines, based on recent design work from Technip-FMC.

Can technology revive offshore oil?
Can technology revive offshore and deep-water? This note outlines our ‘top twenty’ opportunities. They can double deep-water NPVs, add c4-5% to IRRs and improve oil price break-evens by $15-20/bbl.
-
Offshore Economics: the Impact of Technology
This data-file quantifies the impact that technology can have on offshore economics. A typical offshore oilfield is modelled across 250 lines. The project is then re-modelled capturing our “top twenty” offshore technologies, to quantify the potential improvement: a doubling of NPV6, and a c4-5% improvement in IRR.

Thermo-Plastic Composite: The Future of Risers?
We estimate thermo-plastic composite riser costs line-by-line. Savings should reach 45%. The file also includes a complete history of TCP installations to-date, as this technology’s adoption continues.

Where is oil industry R&D focused?
Shale comprises c5% of global supply and c20% of global R&D; while offshore comprises c30% of global supply, but <10% of global R&D, according to our estimates. This simple file aims to break down the oil and gas industry’s R&D activities, by category and sub-category, based on the >1,000 patents and >300 SPE papers we…
