SESSION 1: BUSINESS OF EXPLORATION
Session Chairpersons:
- Richard Barrett, Shell Development (Australia) Ltd.

Exploration has become increasingly challenging with remaining opportunities within new or mature basins fraught with higher risk or having smaller field sizes. The papers in this session discuss several approaches for improved business and technical decision making considering both quantitative and qualitative inputs, including value-of-information analysis to help derisk opportunities. The session also showcases several regional examples of how significant discoveries can still be made in mature basins through the detailed study and integration of key geologic datasets.

SESSION 12: MOSTLY GAS RESERVOIRS
Session Chairpersons:
- Ralph Youie, Independent
- Sam Conner, ExxonMobil Exploration Co.
This session includes a range of topics associated with multidisciplinary approaches to the enhancement of hydrocarbon recoveries from gas reservoirs. The first paper examines how complex, multi-layer gas-condensate reservoir flow regimes can be investigated via the introduction of pressure derivative techniques, resulting in improved understanding of well test behaviors. The remaining papers involve case studies. From the Cooper Basin of Australia, we will learn how Coil Tubing Under-balanced Drilling (CTUBD) has been used to accelerate gas reserves from long production tails into the economic reserves window, and in Malaysia, how what was once considered a shallow gas hazard has now become an attractive development opportunity.
