High-impact technology needs for the US upstream oil industry include advanced seismic acquisition, high-resolution depth imaging, cementing, and multilateral drilling. The Department of Energy and the national labs have shown a definite willingness to work on oil and gas research projects, providing the research and development could not be accomplished by private industry alone. Advanced seismic acquisition was identified as a high need for independent operators, and horizontal well technology was the highest ranking need for service companies. The highest areas of impact identified by majors, other integrated companies, and independents were high-resolution depth imaging and improved well productivity. Technology will be a critical component to discovery and utilization of new oil and gas resources. The paper discusses the technology needed to advance exploration, drilling and completion, and resource development in Arctic regions.
