Directions of development of Polish gas and oil

Abstract

Period of 2000-2015 in exploration and production of hydrocarbons was not the most successful. The last major discovery of new reservoirs took place in the second half of XXth century and first half of XXIst century, when the reservoirs of Kościan, Brońsko, BMB and LMG were discovered. Unfortunatelly, following years did not develop these significant discoveries. We can wonder if it was connected with the lack of exploration strategy, problems with financing or less availibility of discovering new reservoirs. Performing work over last three years enabled though first exploration successes, to be mentioned Podkarpacie and Wielkopolska. The total resources estimate of 64 million equivalent barrels of petroleum (boe). New reservoirs are Kramarzówka,

The model of development of the multihorizontal, hydrocarbon reservoir using advanced exploitation methods

“…Over the past 20 years the world's number of large, conventional hydrocarbon reservoirs, especially those easy in exploration and development dramatically decrease. Unfortunately, in Poland there is observed similar trend, since the major discoveries in the Polish Low Lands that took place in the first years of the twenty-first century there were no significant exploration success [12]. Nonetheless, the Carpathian Foreland is still considered to be a prospective region, especially with the use of the new seismic and exploration methods [13].…”
