Global oil & gas industry has a bright
future, even in the backdrop of uncertainty
and volatility in the market. There is an
everlasting need of energy demand in the
light of prosperity and industrialism. The
current oil demand is around 84 mbbl/day
and more exploration for new reserves
increased production needed to sustain
the growth. Currently the oil production
can easily meet this demand and is
somewhat controlled by the group of Oil
Producing and Exporting Countries
(OPEC). An overproduction caused mainly
by non OPEC countries is good depending
whether you are a producing country or
not. This supply and demand controls the
oil prices that currently oscillating between
US$72 to US$100 per barrel of crude oil.
During the last decade we have seen
unprecedented growth of wellness,
prosperity and industrial growth. The
driver of this revolution in prosperity is
‘Energy’ that sustains our civilization. In
spite of the global turmoil, the world
energy market still remains relatively
stable. Fossil fuels continue to be the main
driver for the energy, while other sources
of energy, although promising, is still in the
drawing board and is something not
economically viable. The rapid pace of
economic growth is predicted to require at
least 50% more energy than we need
today in a span of 25 years.
Upon completion of this course,
participants will be able to:
• Overview of world energy resources.
• Looking into World and Malaysia oil
and gas demand and supply.
• Understanding
the
origin
of
petroleum and role of geoscience.
• Role of geoscientist, reservoir
engineers
and
technology
advancement
in
petroleum
exploration and production (E&P).
• Case study in management style in
oil and gas industry in OPEC / nonOPEC / IOC / NOC
1.
Life of Field. This is the most important and critical step in the whole seismic method as applied
in the Oil and Gas exploration and development. The Geological phenomena is concerned with the
understanding the evolution of the Earth, which is hidden beneath the subsurface, are strongly
delivered by Geophysics. In Geophysics, physical methods and principles are used to study the
Earth’s formation and dynamics.
2.
The Origin of Oil and Gas. Nearly 85% of world energy source is full-filed from hydrocarbon
which is hidden beneath the earth’s crust, where temperature increases (60-120c) increases with
depth, due to increase of temperature organic matter is buried and transformed into kerogen, oil
and gas.
3.
Role of Technology. 40% of major discoveries came from Luconia Basin Carbonates. The
most recent estimate of oil in place from producing fields in Malaysia is 31.8 billion barrels with an
estimated ultimate recovery of 11.0 billion. The instructor estimates that EOR and improved oil
recovery (IOR) processes have the potential to recover another 1 billion barrel. However, a target of
approximately 0.5 billion from currently producing fields seems more realistic. This means EOR/IOR
have tremendous potential in Malaysian fields. With that in mind, PETRONAS and partners have
undertaken extensive studies and pilot projects to examine the viability of EOR processes.
4.
Correcting Measures to Reverse the Production decline. Remedial measures
are needed, in both exploration and development, to replenish the reserves which are depleting
faster than they are being replaced. Current actions are being taken by use Innovation geological
play concept of advance reservoir modeling and Enhance Oil Recovery (EOR) technique.
5.
CO2 Gas.
As the most basins are in a relatively high pressure & high temperature region (HP &
HT), most of the conventional wells are in shallow depth that not exceeds 3km with the basin are at
least 12km deep. Because of Geological and Chemical complexities at least 22 % of our gas
reserves have high CO2 content. Management of these resources and sequestration is recognized
critical area of research.

Professor Dr Deva Prasad Ghosh obtained
BSc. in Geology and Physics, MSc. in Geophysics
both from Banaras Hindu University India and
Ph.D. (1970) from Delft University, the
Netherlands. He worked at Banaras Hindu
University as Associate Professor in Geophysics
for about 8 years. He worked in Shell from 19741999
holding
various
technological
and
management positions.
Prof Deva joined PETRONAS in 2000 and was
responsible for research, development, and
application of geophysical technology worldwide. In 2011, he joined
Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) as Professor in Geophysics and
currently responsible as Head of Center of Excellence in Subsurface
Seismic Imaging & Hydrocarbon Prediction (CSI). He is passionate about
geophysics, developing local staff, and transfer of technology. His field of
interest is in Seismic Imaging, Seismic Attributes and Hydrocarbon
prediction. He is a member of AAPG, SPE, EAGE and SEG, and a former
editor of EAGE. He was SEG-Shell Distinguished Lecturer for SE Asia in
2010 and EAGE Lecturer 2012.
A certificate of attendance will be issued upon
successful completion of the course.
