お読みいただけている方へ：再開予定のお知らせ
急な出張につき、しばらくブログを予告なく休ませていただきました。
今回の出張は木曜日までです。
やはりしばらく放置するとメール受信箱が溜まりますね。
※ 仕事の一環として、いろんなエネルギー業界のニュース媒体のメルマガを登録していて、毎日いろいろと受け取っているということです。ここ3日ほど読んでなかったら181通たまっている始末。 ＼(^o^)／
現在、空き時間を見つけてはいろんな記事を下書きしております。
金曜日には一気に記事公開と同時にブログ再開する予定ですので、いましばしお待ちください。

http://www.lngworldnews.com/iran-to-double-gas-output-by-2017/
- Iran is planning to double natural gas production by 2017
> Current production is 550 mmcmd
> Working on 4 phases of South Pars gas field (Phase 12-16), aiming to add 100 mmcmd by March
> And production will increase further more in Winter up to 680 mmcmd
- Iran is exporting natural gas of 30 mmcmd, mostly to Turkey
- And also has signed an agreement to start export to Iraq
- Iran also has a contract with Pakistan to supply 21.5 mmcmd, pending construction of pipeline in Pakistan part

Shell to maintain asset sales target despite oil price fall
Reuters, 2014. 11. 11.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/11/11/us-shell-oil-idUSKCN0IV11720141111?feedType=RSS&feedName=innovationNews
- Royal Dutch Shell will not increase target to sell $15 billion of assets in 2014-2015 in the face of lower oil prices
> Shell has so far sold $12 bn assets this year
> Oil price has declined by around 30% over past 4 months
> It presses on the balance sheets of oil companies already trying to cut spending to boost cash flows and profits
- Recent oil price decline has raised questions over the economics of some upstream projects
"We test all our projects between $70-$110 a barrel, so the current oil price is in the range of oil prices that we test our projects, so this is business as usual in terms of evaluation of project robustness."
The sharp drop in oil prices is set to hit oil majors' results in the fourth quarter, after it had only a limited impact in the third quarter when oil prices averaged above $100 a barrel.

EIA tracks oil and natural gas production by both surface location and geologic formation
Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Drilling Productivity Report
EIA uses two differing methods to determine production from major and
minor oil and natural gas plays onshore in the United States. One
method takes a geographic approach, focusing on surface-level analysis,
and the other method uses a geologic approach, focusing on
formation-level details. The differences between these two approaches
can provide information on potentially emerging plays.
EIA's Drilling Productivity Report (DPR) examines surface activity to analyze production. Production from counties overlying major producing regions, as well as pipeline flow and drilling rig movement, are used to estimate total production. The DPR is focused on analyzing the relationships between drilling efficiency in a region—such as production volumes compared to rig counts—and the oil and natural gas production from that region.
The DPR's focus on surface activity means that these production volumes do not distinguish between the specific geologic formations into which individual rigs are drilling. Formations can overlap each other like layers of a cake. For instance, production in the Permian Basin region of Texas shows production from the Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Bone Spring, Delaware, Glorieta, and Yeso formations, reflecting various drilling depths associated with each formation within the basin.
EIA also tracks production from specific formations. Using geologic formation information from producing wells, this approach reveals exactly which plays or formations are associated with the production. Once a well is completed, operators in most states report the formation or reservoir to their respective state agencies, as this information may not be known (or disclosed) before drilling or completing a well.
When results from these methods are combined, the geologically derived production volume per play or formation is compared to the geographically derived production level. Because the DPR regions include all counties overlying the producing formations, the geologically derived production level is always less than the geographically derived production level. If the difference between the two remains constant or decreases, it implies that EIA is capturing the important sources of production in the region.
However, if the difference between the two increases, this indicates production activity that is emerging and is not yet identified. In these cases, further analysis is done to identify the source of the increasing production. For example, the gap between production estimates for the Niobrara-Codell formation and Niobrara-Codell region has been growing. This led EIA to analyze the region further, and it was determined that the emerging production was from formations in the Powder River Basin. Formations in this region—the Frontier, Parkman, Shannon, Sussex, and Turner—have recent production increases because of the application of advanced completion techniques, specifically horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.

経産省、石油化学産業の市場構造に関する調査報告を公表
経済産業省, 2014. 11. 7.
http://www.meti.go.jp/press/2014/11/20141107001/20141107001.html
経済産業省は、産業競争力強化法第50条に基づいて、石油化学産業の市場構造に関する調査を行い、調査報告を取りまとめましたので、本日、公表します。
北米の安価なシェールガス由来の化学製品のアジア市場への流入や中国の石炭化学の増産など、我が国の石油化学産業にとって厳しい状況を想定し、将来の需給動向の見通しを示しました。
厳しい状況においては、生産量の減少により、近い将来に設備の集約や事業の再編が必要となることなど、石油化学産業の課題及び取組の方向性を提示しています。
＜参考＞産業競争力強化法第50条（抄）
政府は、事業者による事業再編の実施の円滑化のために必要があると認めるときは、商品若しくは役務の需給の動向又は各事業分野が過剰供給構造にあるか否かその他の市場構造に関する調査を行い、その結果を公表するものとする。
