Abstract
Abstract: The Challenge of Deepwater
By
Bp, Houston, TX
For many E&P companies, deepwater is currently attracting the lion's share of exploration and new development budgets. This is a relatively recent phenomenon, driven by increasing exploration success. The pace at which deepwater developments are moving from 3,000' to 6,000' and beyond is creating a tremendously exciting technology challenge for the industry.
This lecture will begin with some context
- a brief 
summary
of exploration
success and some of the current flagship
developments. It will then explore
the nature of the deepwater challenge
as it manifests itself across all disciplines
- subsurface, wells and facilities.
It will conclude with a view of the
future - an exposition of what the author concludes are going to
be some of the key technologies that will address these
challenges.
