BDEP: Managing Information on Brazilian Sedimentary Basins

This keynote address discusses the role of BDEP (Brazilian Data Center) in improving knowledge and managing information on the Brazilian Sedimentary Basins in the oil industry. It covers ANP structure, the current status of the Brazilian oil industry, improving knowledge on the basins, and the activities and investments of BDEP.

  5. 2. Brazilian Oil Industry Current Status

  6. Current Status of Oil Industry Concession Contracts (March/2011) Exploratory Phase: 349 blocks Production/Development Phase: 400 fields Companies 40 national 38 foreign

  7. Current Status ofOilIndustry (2010) Proven Reserves Oil – ~ 14 billion bbl (*) Gas – ~ 417 billion m3 (*) Includes proved reserves from the pre-salt area (“Lula” field) Production Oil – 2,18 million bbl/d Gas – 62,8 million m3/d NetImports/Exports Oil – 292,7thousand bbl/d Gas – 34,6 million m3/d

  8. Petroleum Reserves Billion barrels More than 30 billionbbl Lula, Iara, Guará, Parque das Baleias, Franco and Libra

  9. The Pre-Salt as a New Paradigm (up to 50 billion bbl?) 2-ANP-2A-RJS 2-ANP-1-RJS From 2004: 71 wells drilled 13 wells (18%) without discovery

  10. 3. Improving knowledge on the Brazilian Sedimentary Basins

  11. New data in the Brazilian Sedimentary Basins The seismic acquisitons performed by Data Acquistion Companies (DACs) after the monopoly Flexibilization were crucial for discovering the Pre-Salt area – the new horizon to petroleum industry Seismic pre-1998 Current seismic Seismic until 2002

  12. ANP Data Acquisiton G & G 5-year plan Concluded projects Investments of ~ US$ 190 million On going projects Investments of ~ US$ 121 million

  13. G & G 5-year plan Projects in bidding phase • Seismic assessment in Jacuípe basin (2D) • Magnetoteluric surveys in Paraná, Parecis and Amazonas basins Projects under consideration • Seismic assessment in Santos (3D), Ceará and Parnaíba basin (2D) • Geochemistry surveys in Tacutu and Foz do Amazonas basins • Petroleum systems studies in São Francisco basin • Drilling of four to six stratigraphic wells 5-year plan total investment ~ US$ 650 million

  14. 4. BDEP Brazilian Data Center

  15. ANP Data Bank What is BDEP? The Brazilian Data Center is the unit inside ANP responsible for storing all technical data acquired on petroleum exploration and production activities throughout Brazilian sedimentary basins.

  16. ANP Data Bank Legal issues • - 1995: Constitutional amendment n°9 – Monopoly flexibilization • 1997: Law n°9478 – Creation of the Regulatory Agency – ANP • Article 8°, item XI - “organize and maintain archives of information and technical data related to petroleum, natural gas and biofuels industry regulated activities” • 2000: To achieve this mission, ANP created BDEP, operated through a technical agreement with the National Geologic Survey - CPRM

  17. ANP Data Bank • 1998: Petrobras Data collection transfer to ANP (legacy data) The competitive market structure led to a growth of data acquisition activities 1,800,000 km seismic lines 19,000 wells 912,500 km non-seismic data Seismic Data Well Data Represents 2.3% of current BDEP´s Data collection in volume Non-seismic Data

  18. Data Collection BDEP DATA COLLECTION (2010) • Post-stack seismic = 1,130 surveys • Wells = 25 thousand • Potential methods = 339 programs TOTAL =3,198 Tb or 3.2 Pb SEISMIC PRE-STACK 3,164 Tb 213 THOUSAND TAPES 60 million of full drawers 20 billion of digital photos 2,041,275 DVD´s Corresponding to...

  19. BDEP yesterdayandtoday 2000 2010 Increase TOTAL COLLECTION x 44 3.2 PB 0.071 PB x 1.9 NUMBER OF MEMBERS 27 14 NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS x 3.7 519 140 REVENUE x 3.2 10.3 mi 3.2 mi

  20. BDEP Investments • TECHNOLOGY • Investments • US$3.5 million invested in hardwares in 2008/2009 • US$ 4.1 million forecasted for 2010/2011

  21. BDEP Activities Data collection Data Delivery Confidentiality Period ANP Standards Quality Control Data Loading Data Storing • Licencing Rounds(data package) • ANP (blocks study and offer) • Associated Members • Universities • Eventual Users • Oil Companies(exclusive data) • DACs • Data Acquisition • Companies(non-exclusive data) • ANP data acquisition • (foment data)

  22. Eventual Users: all the others concessionaires and service companies Exemple of associated companies

  23. Final Remarks • Data Availability is a key issue for the oil & gas industry; • The intensification of E&P activities in Brazil increases the challenge of ensuring the availability of good data just in time; • New data acquisitions impose us agility to build new standards to store and release information; • ANP is really interested in cooperating with NDR members for the improvement of technical data management.
