Production Efficiency

• What is DTIs interest?
• Fields already in production hold a huge amount
  of probable and possible hydrocarbons the DTIs
  objective is to ensure that all this economic oil
  gas is produced. It is working closely with
  industry and in PILOT to achieve this goal. The
  Brownfields showcase is an excellent opportunity
  to identify investment opportunities and to
  disseminate best commercial and technical
  practice.

Importance of Production Efficiency

• Maximise potential from Brown Fields
• Huge potential remaining.
• Mature Infrastructure.
• Security of Supply, in particular Gas.
• Environment and Safety consideration.
• PILOT Target

Efficiency Measurement

• Why
• Inconsistent, and many definitions
• Develop consistent measurement system
• Who
• We are all involved, Operators DTI
• How
• Establish consistent sensible definitions
• Industry participation
• When
• Consultation Process completed in Q1 2003

17
Efficiency Improvement
