Our tables and graphs show the basic petrophysical properties (absolute permeability, effective porosity, rock density, and confining pressure) for a huge amount of data generated from laboratory analysis of side-rock samples and core plugs
Study included all public data from the recently-discovered Upper-Cretaceous light oil and condensate accumulations and leveraged the expertise of our exploration team for general G&G, geochemistry and PSM as well as the latest developments in software (local grid refinement and seismic facies) and computing power.
According to a report published by energy consultancy Rystad Energy, Petrobras is set to become the world’s largest O&G producer by 2030. During 2019, Petrobras has moved from the world’s fifth largest oil producer up to third place, behind Russia’s Rosneft and China’s PetroChina. Rystad estimates that Petrobras’ production of
Resolution No. 23 was signed by the Presidency of the Republic on Tuesday (19). The document creates a working group (WG) that will deal with the exploration and production of oil and natural gas on the extension of the Brazilian continental shelf, as announced by Mines and Energy Minister Bento Albuquerque during the
On Tuesday (19), President Jair Bolsonaro signed Resolution No. 24, authorizing ANP to hold the 17th Bidding Round for exploration and production of oil and natural gas in 2020. 128 blocks in the Pará-Maranhão, Potiguar, Campos, Santos and Pelotas offshore sedimentary basins will be offered up via the concession regime, totaling an area of 64.1 thousand km². The
As you know, Formation Pressure Analysis is essential for reservoir description, evaluation and management. With this in mind, we have begun including data interpretation from dynamic analysis of formation pressure in our Geodatabase. The data was compiled using Wireline Formation Testing and is available as pressure gradient graphs. Using these plots, it is possible to identify variations in regional pressure regimes and define the pressure behavior of areas under
As for the 6th Bidding Round on Thursday (7), it covered five “high potential” exploratory blocks in the pre-salt polygon and was billed as the last auction in a cycle of lower risk blocks with high signing bonuses. As such, many of the issues from the TOR auction likely remained on
Don’t Shoot the Messenger The huge expectations for last week’s Transfer of Rights (TOR) and 6th Pre-Salt bidding round came crashing down as global oil majors opted to sit them out. It started on Wednesday, when the TOR auction that had been hyped for months turned into a flop, with
According to a note released by Petrobras last week, it has put its stakes in 15 onshore E&P blocks in the Sergipe-Alagos basin up for sale. The deal involves eight blocks owned exclusively by Petrobras, with one of them coming from ANP’s 11th bidding round, while the others stem from
BPS is launching a new model of Geochemical Log to substitute the old system in our Brazilian Geodatabase. The new model will incorporate gamma-ray logs together with the litho and chonoestatigraphy summaries of the sedimentary section in which the organic carbon content and Pyrolysis Rock Eval data of the rock
