Product Range of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation : Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: APC) is one of the world’s largest independent oil and gas exploration and production companies, with approximately 2.3 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) of proved reserves and production of 206 million BOE as of December 31, 2008. Anadarko employs a worldwide workforce of about 4,000.[3] The company is headquartered in The Woodlands, SPD Montgomery County, Texas.[4]
In addition, Anadarko engages in the hard minerals business through non-operated joint ventures and royalty arrangements in several coal, trona (natural soda ash) and industrial mineral mines located on lands within and adjacent to its Land Grant holdings. The Land Grant is an 8-million-acre (32,000 km2) strip running through portions of Colorado, Wyoming and Utah where the Company owns most of its fee mineral rights. Anadarko is committed to minimizing the environmental impact of exploration and production activities in its worldwide operations through programs such as enhanced oil recovery that prevents a greenhouse gas from being emitted into the atmosphere by utilizing carbon dioxide (CO2) to stimulate oil production and the reduction of surface area used for production facilities.[3
Technology
Anadarko is committed to safely applying leading-edge technology to create pathways to new opportunities for energy development, while preserving and protecting the environment.
Subsalt Exploration Expertise
Anadarko has successfully and safely explored for energy resources beneath salt layers in the subsurface for more than a decade. During this time, Anadarko's geoscientists have developed a subsalt exploration methodology that includes applying leading-edge technology to process and interpret geophysical data. The combination of expertise in technological applications and exploration experience has allowed Anadarko to establish a differentiating skill set and industry-leading success rate that is being applied to proven and emerging deepwater basins worldwide.
Pre-Salt Exploration
In 2008, Anadarko became the first foreign operator to discover a deepwater pre-salt field in the Campos Basin offshore Brazil. The Wahoo discovery on block BM-C-30 was one of the top ten discoveries of 2008, and the company is continuing its work to delineate the vast areal extent of the field and other nearby discoveries.
Deepwater Spar Technology
Anadarko has a significant and productive collection of deepwater spars in the Gulf of Mexico. The spar production system offers a stable platform attached to a large cylindrical hull that can accommodate dry-tree wells and support workover and drilling operations. One of the major benefits of the floating spar facility is the ability to move it and drill additional wells under the spar. This allows for phased development of deepwater fields. To view photos of our Constitution, Boomvang and Redhawk spars, visit our Media Library under the Media Center section of our Web site.
Horizontal Drilling
One of the key advancements in technology that has unlocked vast new natural gas resources in the U.S. onshore is the application of horizontal drilling, a method of drilling thousands of feet vertically then turning the drill bit to drill another several thousand feet horizontally along the resource-bearing zones. This practice allows for the wellbore to contact a larger cross section of the targeted reservoir, increasing productivity rates. Horizontal drilling also carries environmental benefits on the surface because it reduces the amount of surface space required by allowing companies to drill numerous wells from a single pad. Doing so, also significantly allows producers to consolidate gathering equipment, roads and pipelines, and reduces truck traffic and associated emissions.
Water Management
In Utah’s Greater Natural Buttes area, Anadarko was recognized by the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining with its 2010 Earth Day Award, and by the Interstate Oil & Gas Compact Commission with its 2010 Chairman’s Award for the Anadarko Completions Transportation System (ACTS) water-management program. This water-management program creates temporary staging sites on existing natural gas well locations that treat recycled flowback water that is used for fracture stimulation and moves the filtered water directly to the next operation via temporary pipelines. These pipelines use existing pad locations and rights of way that minimize additional surface disturbance, truck traffic and associated emissions.
Field Simulation
Anadarko has built extensive reservoir simulation expertise in miscible recovery efforts, including CO2 and water-alternating-gas enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects. During the initial stage of a project, simulation tools provide performance projections for many possible development options. These performance projections are then combined with other engineering, geological, geophysical and commercial considerations to determine a field development plan that will optimize the project's value.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Anadarko is tapping this commonly used tool for gathering spatial data about a region in uncommon ways. GIS provides us with a big-picture view of an area's roads and pipeline systems, terrain, populated areas and environmentally sensitive locations to better plan how we do business in a particular part of the world. By integrating operational and business data about an area with GIS-provided topography, population and environmental details, Anadarko can evaluate, plan and carry out new-venture opportunities with greater efficiency.
