    The document discusses challenges facing the oil and gas industry due to decreasing oil prices, including suspended exploration projects. It proposes applying advanced deepwater technologies and economical solutions to boost production. As an example, it examines the Yadana Gas Field off Myanmar and the Andaman Sea, which contains over 150 billion cubic meters of natural gas reserves. Due to the field's offshore location and unpredictable sea conditions, the document recommends using a semisubmersible drilling unit for its stability and mobility.

    Exploring a new oil field is a new big challenges for today.

    As we know, the recent


    phenomenon of decreasing oil price since 2014 have struggled most of the petroleum industry
    stakeholders to get the best solutions to survive. This, impact the whole industry and related
    businesses to change their business model and strategy to win the market. The glut drives the
    circulation of cash to its fittest way in lowest margin ever. The rig contractors and oil field service
    company are also impacted by the cost cutting from the oil company.

    Major exploration and development projects are suspended, because are seen to be
    economically unviable, left the companies inventory idle while costing significant loss in potential
    revenue. By this problem we need an Effective, Efficient, Economic and Safe Drilling Operation
    to comply those demand. One of the solution is we have to plan the exploration operation to reach
    an advance oil and gas technology on deepwater to boost production and face future energy needs.
    To achieve successful drilling in offshore, we should apply several not only new innovations and
    technologies, but also economical logically for investments. Beside that to gain a better future
    environmental impact, we should make a solution to design oil and gas industry as ecofriendly as
    possible. One of the example exploration is Yadana Gas Field.

    Yadana Gas Field was located in Andaman (sea) Basin, extends 1200 km from Burma to
    Sumatra and 650 km from the Malay Peninsula to the Andaman and Nicobar islands. The eastern
    portion of the basin is the Malay continental margin. Subsequent folding and faulting modified the
    shelf, forming at least two major terraces, the Sumatra Shelf-basin and a 650 km long continental
    slope. Andaman-Nicobar Ridge, western boundary of the basin, consists of an Upper Cretaceous
    serpentinite-ophiolite-radiolarite core overlain by Paleocene to Miocene graywackes and shales at
    least 3000 m thick.

    The gas field lies around 1,300 metres (4,300 ft) beneath the seabed in the water depth
    around 40 metres (130 ft). The Yadana gas field contains more than 150 billion cubic meters of
    natural gas and has an expected field life of over 30 years.

    An Effective, Efficient, Economic and Safe Drilling Operation is need to be applied. A


    drilling unit, a semisubmersible is a much drilling unit to used based by its field landmark and a
    submersible is the more stable and mobile drilling unit rather than other unit type. This problem
    (far from supply post) could make the supply for a drilling unit be so difficult than other field even
    make drilling operation suspended because bad sea condition.

    By looking at Yadana Field, this sea characteristic is unpredictable and extreme could come
    any time. An extreme sea condition can disturb a rig unit. According to all the problem that Yadana
    Field have. We need a Semisubmersible drilling unit that could overcome from all those problem.
