摘要

One of the greatest challenges facing the oil and gas industry today is the need to focus exploratory efforts on new horizons. If world oil production follows a bell-shaped Hubbert curve, as it has in the U.S., global production probably will peak sometime between 2005 and 2025. As this peak nears, oil and natural gas supplies increasingly will come from small- to intermediate-sized fields producing from deeper, less-explored horizons. In the United States, less than 4% of the wells completed from 1970 through 1999 were drilled at depths of 12,500 feet (roughly 4,100 meters) or greater. In New Zealand, less than 7% of the wells drilled between 1900 and 1998 were drilled to depths of more than 4,100 meters. Companies best suited for prospering in today's environment are mid- to large-sized independents, as characterized by market capitalization, reserves, and revenues. These independents are skilled in applying innovative technology, in adapting to geographic niche areas, and in managing assets to achieve a proper balance of risk and potential reward. Swift Energy Company's exploration of the Kauri prospect in New Zealand's Taranaki Basin is an example of the kind of world-class opportunities that remain for future discovery. In 2001, Swift drilled two wells in the Kauri area, which has an estimated potential of over 200 million barrels of oil equivalent with oil and gas shows at multiple horizons. Swift's size and technical expertise make it well suited to develop this type of project, which is large enough to have a positive impact both for the New Zealand economy and for Swift Energy Company shareholders.
