Smaller companies will probably dominate development of Mexico’s shale gas deposits as Pemex focuses on shallow water and onshore projects, according to the independent director of one of the state owned company’s units.
Pemex, will probably focus on businesses with higher margins to maximize profits, leaving room for smaller companies in shale, Mario Gabriel Budebo, a director of Pemex Gas and Basic Petrochemicals, said to Bloomberg Mexico Economic summit.
“It’s not the large companies that have the agility and the cost structure to exploit shale gas,” said Budebo,a former deputy energy minister. “It’s an area for new players.”
Emilio Lozoya, Pemex’s CEO, on March 3 invited the world to explore for shale deposits in its recently opened energy sector.The crude production monopoly the company has held since 1938 ended on December 20,2013.Pemex aims to attract as much as $1 trillion in energy investment during the next decade to exploit the biggest proven oil reserves in Latin America after Venezuela and Brazil,he said.
A “big chunk” of investment in the sector may come from Asia, said Kent F. Moors, executive chair of the Global Energy Symposium.Finance Minister Luis Videgaray said in an interview that Mexico’s government is working with China to have the world’s second largest economy increase its investment across industries.
Videgaray helped shepherd the laws last year that opened the nation’s state-controlled oil industry to private drillers.
Victor Herrera, Latin American managing director at Standard & Poor’s, said in a December 20,2013 interview that pipeline and shale gas investment could come “very quickly.” Shale and natural gas are the “low-hanging fruit” of the energy reform and may be explored as soon as the second half of this year by foreign companies, according to Herrera.

Anadarko Petroleum is planning to drill up to 25 deepwater wells in 2014, the company’s chairman, president and CEO has said. The comment came as the company revealed its 2014 capital expectations and guidance.
“We expect this capital plan to enable us to increase year-over-year ' same-store' sales volumes by 6 to 7 percent. Driving this year-over-year growth is an expected increase in our oil production of approximately 40,000 barrels per day,” said Al Walker.
"During 2014, Anadarko expects to drill up to 25 high-potential deepwater exploration/appraisal wells. Additionally, we plan to continue accelerating value through active portfolio management and monetizations, as demonstrated by the recently announced divestiture of our non-operated assets in Bohai Bay, China, and the closing of our sale of a 10-percent working interest in Mozambique' s Offshore Area 1 to OVL."
Total 2014 capital investments are expected to be $8.1 to $8.5 billion, excluding capital investments associated with Western Gas Partners, LP, a separate publicly-traded entity controlled by Anadarko and included in its consolidated financial statements.
More than 80 percent of Anadarko' s 2014 U.S. onshore capital investments will be allocated toward oil and liquids-rich opportunities. The company expects to increase its total U.S. onshore year-over-year same-store sales volumes by more than 10 percent to more than 625,000 boe per day for full-year 2014, including an approximate 50,000 barrels-per-day increase in liquids volumes. Much of this growth is expected to be driven by the company' s Wattenberg Horizontal program in Colorado, its Eagle Ford shale development in South Texas, and other liquids-rich growth plays, including the Wolfcamp shale in West Texas and the East Texas/North Louisiana area.
The Wattenberg Horizontal program generates the strongest returns in Anadarko' s U.S. onshore portfolio and is expected to achieve significant growth in 2014. The company plans to operate approximately 13 rigs in the Wattenberg field during the year and drill more than 360 wells.
Anadarko also is accelerating its operated activity in the Wolfcamp oil play where it has evaluated about 20 percent of its approximate 600,000-gross-acre position. The company has already identified more than 1,000 drilling locations in this de-risked area of the Wolfcamp, with significant additional upside as it evaluates the remaining acreage and potential stacked-pay intervals. In 2014, the company expects to operate eight to 10 rigs, with plans to drill more than 80 wells.
In the Gulf of Mexico, Anadarko is on schedule to achieve first oil from its 80,000 barrels-of-oil-per-day Lucius development late in the second half of 2014. The company' s Heidelberg development also remains on track, with spar construction more than 75-percent complete and first oil expected in 2016.
Anadarko' s 2014 deepwater Gulf of Mexico exploration/appraisal program is focused on building upon the tremendous success achieved in the Shenandoah basin in 2013, which is emerging as one of the largest oil accumulations ever discovered in the Gulf. Appraisal activity at the Coronado, Yucatan and Shenandoah discoveries in the Shenandoah basin highlights the company' s six-to-eight-well Gulf program in 2014.
In 2014, Anadarko expects to realize a full-year' s benefit of oil production from the El Merk project in Algeria. El Merk, which recently achieved net production of more than 30,000 barrels per day, is expected to contribute to at least a 30-percent year-over-year increase in sales volumes from Algeria during 2014.
In Ghana, Anadarko and its partners have awarded major contracts and are advancing development of the TEN complex, which is expected to achieve first oil in 2016. In Mozambique, the company' s 2013 appraisal and exploration activities increased its estimated recoverable natural gas resources to a range of 45 to 70-plus Tcf in Offshore Area 1, up from the previous range of 35 to 65-plus Tcf. The company' s 2014 program in Mozambique is focused on advancing the development toward first LNG cargoes in 2018.
The company' s international exploration/appraisal program includes 15 to 18 planned deepwater wells, primarily in East and West Africa.

With birthday cards and a social media campaign, API celebrated the 65th birthday of the technology that has spurred an energy revolution in America - hydraulic fracturing or fracing.
“Americans have long been energy pioneers, from the 1800’s when the first wells were drilled to today,” said API Director of Upstream and Industry Operations Erik Milito. “As part of that history, on March 17, 1949, we developed the technology to safely unlock shale and other tight formations, and now the U.S. is the world’s largest producer of oil and natural gas.”
The birthday cards featured a black and white photo of one of the world’s first commercially fractured wells located in Duncan, Oklahoma.
“Thanks to fracing, we can produce more energy, with a smaller environmental footprint—changing America’s energy trajectory from scarcity to abundance,” said Milito. “This is a birthday worth celebrating.”
In 2012, unconventional resource development utilizing hydraulic fracturing increased disposable income by an average of $1,200 per household, supported 2.1 million American jobs, and contributed $284 billion to the U.S. GDP, according to a study by IHS. By 2025, IHS reports that unconventional drilling will support 3.9 million jobs, including 515,000 positions in manufacturing.

ELMWOOD PARK, New Jersey -- Langan Engineering & Environmental Services has announced the opening of an office in Akron, Ohio. The new office will provide fully integrated technical services in support of the oil and gas industry focused on the Utica shale play as well as land development projects and corporate real estate portfolios throughout the state.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma -- The two workers who died in an explosion at a well site in West Texas were subcontractors, the site’s operator has said.
Wood Group has opened a 16,000 sq ft training facility in Kenedy, Texas, where educational programs for Eagle Ford shale workers will focus on health, safety, and environment (HSE) and technical competency. The center includes a 300-person capacity training room, an instrumentation and electrical (I&E) lab, a computer-based training (CBT) lab and a board room. The facility also has an outside pad with a tank battery and an area with buried pipe for pipeline finding; both will be instrumental for hands-on training.
The center is operated by Wood Group PSN, which provides high-integrity services to design and construct facilities, optimize performance, maintain production, reduce operating costs, ensure asset integrity, and extend the operating life of oil and gas fields. It is this knowledge and expertise that Wood Group PSN will provide via a combination of classroom, hands-on and API-certified computer-based training.
The training curriculum levels range from basic production operations for entry-level personnel to the essentials of managing oil & gas contract obligations for experienced lease operators. HSE-specific classes include SafeLand, Department of Transportation operator qualification (DOT OQ), H2S training and defensive driving. The combination of structured, industry-proven processes and a strong focus on safety and regulatory compliance serves as the foundation for developing safe, competent workers for the Eagle Ford region.
Class instructors are oil & gas industry veterans with a minimum of 20 years of experience onshore and offshore, in the U.S. or international. They are experienced in operations, engineering and major project management.
