Title: Oil and Gas Developments in Far East in 1987

Author(s): S. Courteney (2), R. A. Soeparjadi (3), S. M. Sayeed Ahmad (4)

Abstract:

As a result of the stabilization of oil prices in 1987 following their collapse in 1986, the rate of slowdown in Far East exploration activities began to ease. Seismic acquisition increased slightly, and the fall in exploratory drilling was less dramatic in 1987 than in 1986.

No major discoveries were reported during 1987, although small-to-medium-size oil and gas discoveries added to the potential reserves of Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Japan, People's Republic of China, Pakistan, Republic of China, and Thailand.

Development drilling continued to rise by a modest amount. Far East oil and condensate production decreased in 1987 by just over 1% to 5.37 million b/d, whereas gas output rose to 11.7 bcf/day.

New acreage awards were significantly higher in 1987 than in 1986, particularly in some of the region's key producing countries.
