TOPICAL LUNCHEON 1 - BC-10: TODAY AND BEYOND

Maria Pena, Shell

Parque das Conchas is one of Shell’s most challenging deepwater projects. Shell is the operator and has a 50% interest in the project. Parque das Conchas lies in around 1,780 metres of water, 120 km southeast of Vitória. Production started in July 2009, with the first phase developing three fields (Abalone, Ostra and Argonauta B-West), and the second phase developing a fourth field (Argonauta O-North). The first phase, now fully on-stream, involves ten producing wells and one gas injector well. The FPSO vessel, Espirito Santo, has 100,000 b/d of oil and 50 million scf of gas processing capacity and a 1.4 million barrel oil storage capacity for shipment offloading. Current production is around 70,000 b/d. Among the project’s many “first’s” is the first application of full-scale subsea separation and boosting, which enables improved recovery by removing backpressure from the wells.

TOPICAL LUNCHEON 2: ADVANCING GLOBAL DEEPWATER CAPABILITIES: LESSONS BEING APPLIED FOLLOWING THE DEEPWATER HORIZON ACCIDENT AND RESPONSE

Speaker:

Felipe Bayon, BP America

In his presentation, Felipe Bayon, Head of special projects for BP America, will share information on what the company has learned and what it is doing to implement lessons from the Deepwater Horizon accident through company-wide process safety, operational integrity and risk management programs.

Following the Deepwater Horizon accident, BP is continuing its focus to build a safer and stronger company. The company made a commitment to learning and applying the lessons of this accident, and is sharing what it learned with industry groups and governments around the world to promote safety of offshore drilling and enhance industry capabilities to respond if there is a similar event.

In May, BP completed the purchase of 10 oil and gas exploration and production license blocks offshore and onshore Brazil from Devon Energy do Brasil Ltda. BP Group companies now employ around 4,200 people in Brazil. BP is currently drilling the Itaipu 2 well in the Campos Basin offshore Brazil. BP’s updated guidelines and minimum requirements for deepwater drilling and incident response, which are based on lessons learned from the Deepwater Horizon accident, response and other industry events, are being applied to these operations.
