The chance would have it, a few months ago during a family reunion, I learned quite a distant member of my family there that night, worked for Schlumberger. He worked in oil exploration as an engineer for dozens of years, traveling from one place of production to another. So he's very experienced in this field of oil exploration.
During the meal, the discussion drifted to his work. We then issued some information, not fundamental, but interesting.
Petroleum Exploration
On oil exploration and the possibility of finding new fields, we were treated following the revelations. In fact, I think he talked about it when it came about world oil reserves.
1) Wanting to show us that we are far from having explored everything and can easily fall into new wells, even in areas of major production, he gave us the example of an independent company acquired a concession to Shell Offshore North and found a large oil fields.
2) Idem. He said that Saudi Arabia has been little explored. He gave us the example of a well found by chance between two production zones, just 15 km. This shows that only 15 km from the deposits in question had not been explored. So much for the myth of the total grid area of the most important production. And if even the most productive areas were not squared, one can imagine other areas.
It goes in the direction of the idea that there is still plenty of oil to find, and that Shell and other companies do not hurry too much for find new fields.
For the case of fields in Norway, it was probably expected to find oil and that the dealership sold by the Shell was a company effectively controlled by Shell, allowing it to pay less taxes. Otherwise, why would sell Shell a concession which is suspected of finding oil so it can make itself the exploration and reap substantial profits after the discovery?
He also told us that the power of the financiers had slowed the search for new deposits for 20 years.
So the search for new deposits has been deliberately slowed down. It has nothing to do with the fact that we would find nothing. And if the search was slowed during the past 20 years, this is not because we do not find anything, but because of the financial decisions of the heads of these companies. If you want to be on the plane not conspiracy, it's normal. The ancient wells already provided the perfect application. And it is clear to return to the idea of conspiracy, that if we had done research in non-producing countries, most would become independent, thus destroying the international oil business and political control that allows the different nations. And even in producing countries, the proliferation of wells would have led to a collapse in oil prices.
Regarding oil exploration in France, he told us that France has been little explored.
So the idea that France was explored and fro across and we have found nothing is wrong.
Quantity barrels from which a well is profitable
We speak of oil in France, while another family member asked if these wells should not make much were profitable, he we learned that a well in the Paris region is profitable after 10 barrels per day, even at 2000 meters . And, even with oil prices at $ 25. It's very easy to drill. We were amazed. But it was something so obvious to him that the coup is as if speaking to some guys who arrive completely. Of course, it reflected the cost of exploration.
It changes greatly from what is heard saying in general. In general, we hear that a well must go to be enormously profitable, especially if it is deep. A well of 2000 meters is presented as very deep and we can imagine it is very expensive and should make it at least, say 500 or 1,000 barrels per day to be profitable (well, at least at least a few hundred barrels per day).
So a shallower wells, the threshold of profitability must be even lower. Probably 5 bbl / day.
On the offshore oil African
We learned that terrestrial sinks in Congo had been abandoned in favor of offshore wells because the oil company was too embarrassed by the rebels.
So, as I mentioned earlier, we leave out the wells onshore for offshore wells, which are much less easily controlled by the African authorities, which allows the sale of oil which has not been reported to government authorities of the country. This will therefore make more profit.
On the history of the rebels, it is clear that this is a pretext. One can think of three possibilities.
Let the attack by rebels of the wells is a pure invention, or a very strong exaggeration on the part of the company to have a reason to justify the abandonment of wells. Given the power of oil companies, it is unclear they have difficulty to protect their wells.
Either it is a reality. But in this case, one wonders who is behind. Probably a power that has an interest in the company abandons the field. It is unclear just rebels without a sub dare attack a power that could easily reduce them to ashes. There would therefore necessarily a power back. But given that oil company executives are certainly part of the clique that runs the world affairs in hand, there is no other power that would be likely to develop such an attack. So it is not credible.
Either it's both. Rebels have actually attacked the wells of the oil company. But they were paid by it for the thing is done and the oil company has a reason for the abandonment of wells onshore.
