Abstract
By 2030 the world will need between 40% and 50% more water, food and energy. Whilst surging energy demands will in part be met by new emerging energy supplies, the pressures to maximize recovery from existing “conventional” reservoirs remain at the forefront. Continued and increasing challenges to environmental and ecological boundaries with greenhouse gas emissions and water management sitting at the core, demand technological advances. Against this back drop some of Shell’s Upstream hydrocarbon recovery challenge areas are discussed with emphasis on enhanced oil recovery and reservoir management.
