This is the first academic study of well costs and drilling times for Australia s petroleum producing basins, both onshore and offshore. I analyse a substantial database of well times and costs sourced from government databases, industry and over 400 recent well completion reports. Three well phases are studied - Pre-Spud, Drilling and Completion. Relationships between well cost factors are considered, including phase time, phase cost, daily cost, rig day rate, well depth, basin, rig type, water depth, well direction, well objective (e.g. exploration), and type of completion (P&A or producer). Times and costs are analysed using scatter plots, frequency distributions, correlation and regression analyses. Drilling times are analysed for the period 1980 to 2004. Well time and variability in well time tend to increase exponentially with well depth. Technical Limits are defined for both onshore and offshore drilling times to indicate best performance. Well costs are analysed for the period 1996 to 2004. Well costs were relatively stable for this period. Long term increases in daily costs were offset to some extent by reductions in drilling times. Onshore regions studied include the Cooper/Eromanga, Surat/Bowen, Otway and Perth Basins. Offshore regions studied include the Carnarvon Basin shallow and deepwater, the Timor Sea and Victorian Basins. Correlations between regional well cost and well depth are usually high. Well costs are estimated based on well location, well depth, daily costs and type of completion. In 2003, the cost of exploration wells in Australia ranged from A$100,000 for shallow coal seam gas wells in the Surat/Bowen Basins to over A$50 million for the deepwater well Gnarlyknots-1 in the Great Australian Bight. Future well costs are expected to be substantially higher for some regions. This study proposes methods to index historical daily costs to future rig day rates as a means for estimating future well costs. Regional well cost models are particularly useful for the economic evaluation of CO2 ...

My aim in this paper is to give an account of such a polysemic term as well-being by hand of three broad and different approaches, which will highlight the scope that the conceptual frame has to define this concept. On the one hand, I will provide a general map of some ethical approaches stemming from the philosophy of mind and the analytical address of emotions, which emphasize the subjective features of well-being, insofar as they shed light over the ties of well-being with the historicity of desire. This fact allows to affirm that the term well-being did not become an issue of social and political interest in all epochs, as it depends on an epochal configuration of subjectivity, which from the XXth century onwards claims that public institutions meet the demands aiming at achieving material satisfaction and at removing every form of exploitation and oppression. On the other hand, I will focus on the standpoint adopted by Martha C. Nussbaum, who urges that democratic societies with a liberal bottom ought to adopt emotions easing to tighten up the civil body. Thus, she argues for making of general well-being a substantive demand of practical rationality. Finally, I will focus on an overlapping approach to the analysis of Axel Honneth and Nancy Fraser, who despite their discrepancies about the predominance of recognition or redistribution share the belief that, even if well-being holds strong bounds with subjectivity, to materialize well-being requires that states avow in their policy-making a decided will to remove hunger, poverty, precarity, contempt and the different features of social oppression. Without combining all these dimensions, it will be very difficult to outline a sustainable theory about well-being, conscious of the formal and material dimensions intertwined in the tasks furthering to spread well-being in different societies, all of them framed within a neoliberal culture. ; La valoración de un término intrínsecamente polisémico como es el de bienestar que aquí se propone pretende evidenciar de la mano de tres enfoques suficientemente amplios y dispares la importancia que los presupuestos conceptuales adoptados poseen para la definición del término analizado. Por un lado, presentaré un mapa de los abordajes éticos y cercanos a la filosofía de la mente y a desarrollos analíticos de las emociones que dan cuenta de la dimensión subjetiva imprescindible del bienestar, al visibilizar su conexión con la historicidad del deseo. Esto mismo permite afirmar asimismo que el término bienestar no se vuelve cuestión de interés social y político en cualesquiera épocas, sino que acompaña a una configuración epocal de la subjetividad, que a partir del siglo XX exige la satisfacción con medios públicos de demandas que giran en torno a la consecución universal de una tranquilidad material que facilite la emancipación con respecto a toda forma de explotación y opresión. Por otro lado, me ocuparé de presentar la perspectiva de Martha C. Nussbaum, que aconseja que las sociedades democráticas de fondo liberal adopten ciertas emociones para mejorar la cohesión del cuerpo civil y hacer de la reivindicación de bienestar general una exigencia sustantiva de la racionalidad práctica. Finalmente, me desplazaré a la mirada cruzada de Axel Honneth y Nancy Fraser, pues pone de manifiesto –a pesar de sus discrepancias internas acerca de la prioridad del eje del reconocimiento o de la redistribución– que, a pesar de la intensa vinculación que el bienestar mantiene con la subjetividad de los individuos, su materialización depende palmariamente de la incorporación por parte de los Estados de agendas públicas conscientes de la necesidad de combatir el hambre, la pobreza, la precariedad, el desprecio y las diferentes dimensiones de la opresión social. Sin un enfoque combinado de todas estas dimensiones difícilmente podría configurarse una teoría sostenible acerca del bienestar, consciente de la bipolaridad formal y material de las tareas a las que debe hacer frente con vistas a su materialización social progresiva y efectiva en sociedades diversas, pero igualmente enmarcadas en un marco cultural neoliberal.

Gottfried Schweiger examines the role that the concepts of wellbeing and well-becoming can play in the design of a theory of justice for children. He argues that well-being and well-becoming can serve as the ultimate goals of justice for children, as they allow us to better understand the specific needs of children as agents of justice and their embeddedness in certain social contexts, and they can guide the selection of the currency of justice and the rule of their distribution. Drawing from the critical theory of recognition of Axel Honneth and Amartya Sens capability approach, Schweiger claims that the currency of justice should be those capabilities and functionings that comprise the well-being and well-becoming of children. Such a list does not have to be final but should be drafted based on the best empirical evidence available, bearing in mind that childrens lives and futures are shaped by the environments they live and grow up in and the different institutions and agents they interact with. Ideally these allow children to be heard and involved, giving them space to make their own choices; the goal should be to support and protect childrens current well-being and to support them in their development into autonomous adults with sufficient levels of well-being. Furthermore, Schweiger concludes that justice for children, if it wants to be comprehensive, should incorporate a pluralism of rules of distribution that are applied to the certain capabilities and functionings that are important for the well-being and well-becoming of children. The tripartite differentiation of David Miller can provide a good starting point in this matter, and one that concurs with the main assumption of the recognition approach that children have a claim for the experience of all three forms of recognition care, esteem and respect. Such rules also reflect the developmental dimension of justice that is expressed in its orientation on the well-being and well-becoming of children. The rules themselves sufficiency, equality and desert are of importance for children and express their moral and political status. ; P26480 ; (VLID)1680606
