Oil shale resource is called unconventional oil resources to distinguish them from oil which can be extracted using traditional oil well methods (e.g., conventional oil resources). Most of the world's oil reserves are recorded as unconventional crude oil. Oil shale deposits represent staggering resource figures. Estimates by the U.S. Geological Survey suggest a global resource of 3 trillion (1012) barrels of oil, but reasonable estimates as high as 12 trillion barrels have been made. About half of the resource is located in the western United States. This articles aims to sight some light on the oil shale as the important types of unconventional oil deposits in the earth as well as how much can be economically recovered from oil shale.
This training report is created during the ONGC training programme and all the informations are gathered from the training officers and the classroom programmes organised during the training prrogramme.
In this slide basics of Petroleum GEOLOGY is illustrated with the little review of Petroleum and geology terminology.
Also, the responsibilities or role of petroleum Geology is elaborated.
The problem of water and gas coning has plagued the petroleum industry for decades. Water or gas encroachment in oil zone and thus simultaneous production of oil & water or oil & gas is a major technical, environmental and economic problems associated with oil and gas production. This can limit the productive life of the oil and gas wells and can cause severe problems including corrosion of tubulars, fine migration, hydrostatic loading etc. The environmental impact of handling, treating and disposing of the produced water can seriously affect the economics of the production. Commonly, the reservoirs have an aquifer beneath the zone of hydrocarbon. While producing from oil zone, there develops a low pressure zone as a result of which the water zone starts coning upwards and gas zone cones down towards the production perforation in oil zone and thus reducing the oil production. Pressure enhanced capillary transition zone enlargement around the wellbore is responsible for the concurrent production. This also results in the loss of water drive and gas drive to a certain extent.
Numerous technologies have been developed to control unwanted water and gas coning. In order to design an effective strategy to control the coning of oil or gas, it is important to understand the mechanism of coning of oil and gas in reservoirs by developing a model of it. Non-Darcy flow effect (NDFE), vertical permeability, aquifer size, density of well perforation, and flow behind casing increase water coning/inflow to wells in homogeneous gas reservoirs with bottom water are important factors to consider. There are several methods to slow down coning of water and/or gas such as producing at a certain critical rate, polymer injection, Downhole Water Sink (DWS) technology etc.

Petroleum (or crude oil) is a naturally occurring liquid mixture of hydrocarbons, but containing some compounds of oxygen, nitrogen and Sulphur. It is an oily, thick,
flammable, usually dark-colored liquid ,commonly obtained by drilling, used in a natural or refined state as a fuel
and separated by fractional distillation into gasoline, naphtha ,benzene ,kerosene ,paraffin etc.
It is often referred to as the “black gold.This name itself is an indication of its importance to humans. Crude oil is considered to be the “mother of all commodities” as it is used to manufacture various products such as pharmaceuticals, plastics, gasoline, synthetic fabrics, etc. Petroleum or oil has also been the world’s leading source of energy since the 1950s.
Petroleum is a naturally occurring liquid found beneath the earth’s surface that can be refined into fuel. Petroleum is a fossil fuel, meaning that it has been created by the decomposition of organic matter over millions of years. Petroleum is formed when large quantities of dead organisms–primarily zooplankton and algae–underneath sedimentary rock are subjected to intense heat and pressure.
The word petroleum means “rock oil.” It is derived from the Greek word “petra” (means rock) and the Latin word “oleum” (means oil). When it is drilled from the ground in the liquid form, it is called crude oil. Humans have known about its existence for 4000 years. However, the first time crude oil was pumped from the ground was 2500 years ago in China and the world’s first crude oil well was drilled in Pennsylvania, USA only in the year 1859.
Where is petroleum found?
Today petroleum is found in vast underground reservoirs where there were ancient seas. Petroleum reserves can be located beneath the land, or under the ocean. Their crude oil is extracted with giant drilling machines.
How do you know where to find oil?
Geologists are the masters of locating oil. Often called oil exploration, geologists will look for an area that ticks all the boxes of finding an oil trap aka striking (black) gold.
Oil is often found in the vast underground reservoirs where ancient seas were once located. This can either be beneath land or out in the ocean below the seabed.
During the earlier years of oil mining, the geologists would study the soil, surface rock, and other surface features to determine if oil may be lying below.
Later came satellite imagery, along with more technological advances such as gravity meters, means to test the Earth’s magnetic field, and ‘sniffers’ that detect the smell of hydrocarbons.
The most common way used today is to generate shock waves that pass through the rock layers and reflect back to the surface where they can be interpreted for signs of oil traps. This is done with seismic source devices such as a compressed-air gun, a thumper truck, or explosives .

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1. “The rough roads of life are passed with ease by he
who value these three important friends: humility,
persistence and optimism. Walk with them and
remember that they that enjoy the fruits of the
land are the humble ones. They never die young!”

4. What is Petroleum?
The word petroleum originated from the Latin words,
Petra, meaning rock and oleum, meaning oil.
Literally it means ‘Rock Oil,’ and can also be defined as a
non-renewable fossil fuel or oil that is found underground.
This is any naturally-occurring flammable mixture of
hydrocarbons found in geological formations such as rock
strata.
Technically, the term petroleum refers to describe any
solid, liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons.
It’s also known as ‘crude oil’ or ‘mineral oil.’
Pronounced as puh-tro-lee-um h.
5. Differences between Crude oil,
petroleum products and petroleum
Crude oil- Mixture of hydrocarbons existing as liquid
in natural underground reservoirs and remain liquid
during extraction.
Petroleum products- Produced from the processing of
crude oil at petroleum refineries and extraction of
liquid hydrocarbons at natural gas processing plants.
Petroleum- refers to the broad category that includes
both crude oil and petroleum products.
6. PETROLEUM FORMATION.
There are basically two theories explaining the origin of oil,
I.
Organic Theory.(Biotic Theory)
Oil developed millions of years from organic material remains of
dead plants and animals (algae and planktons).
The dead organisms sank to the bottom of water bodies (seas and
lakes), where the environment tends to be anaerobic.
They accumulated in the mud on the beds of the water bodies,
partially decomposed.
Sediment deposition on the bed of the water body, burying and
compressing the organic matter under its weight.
Increase in temperatures(1000c-1600c) and pressures resulted due
to continued sediment deposition.
With time the conditions broke down the organic compounds
into shorter hydrocarbon chains, forming oil and natural gas.
Oil and natural gas flowed from the source rock , accumulating
in thicker more porous rock called a reservoir rock.
Earth movements (faulting, folding ) trapped the oil and natural
gas in the reservoir rock between layers of impermeable rock or
cap rock also called an oil trap.
9. Conditions necessary for biotic oil
formation.
In a nutshell,
1. Deep burial under sand and mud.
2. Pressure cooking.
3. Hydrocarbon migration from the source to the
reservoir rock.
4. Impermeable rock to trap the oil.
12. Inorganic Theory.(Abiogenic/Abiotic Theory)
This hypothesis of petroleum origin without biology was first
proposed in 16th century by Georg Agricola, then in 19th
century by Alexander (Prussian geographer), Dmitri (Russian
chemist), Marceline (French chemist) and re-defined in 20th
century by Cornell University physicist, Thomas Gold.
Supporters of this hypothesis argued that hydrocarbons
existed at the formation of the solar
system and were abundant in other
Thomas Gold
planets e.g. Saturn, Jupiter,…
The theory argued that petroleum
originated from limitless pools of liquid
primordial hydrocarbons at great depths
in the earth.
These carbon-bearing fluids migrated
upward from the mantle where they
slowly replenish the reservoirs that
conventional oil drillers tap.
2.
13.
14. Other hypothesis arose as a result of the Abiotic
theory. These include,
i. Deep seated terrestrial hypothesis.
Proposed by Dmitri Mendeleev, he postulated that
metallic carbides deep within the earth reacted with
water at high temps. forming acetylene.
CaC2(s)+2H2O
Ca(OH)2(s)+C2H2(g)
ii. Extra terrestrial hypothesis.
Proposed by Sokoloff, he based a cosmic origin to
petroleum origin. He postulated that hydrocarbons
precipitated as rain from original nebular matter
from which the solar system formed.
16. Oil Extraction.
Factors considered when it comes to the extraction;
i.
Porosity and permeability of the rock –.
ii. The viscosity of the deposit.
There are various steps and methods of oil extraction;
1.
Primary recovery.
2. Secondary recovery.
3. Enhanced recovery.
17. 1. Primary recovery method.
Relies on underground pressure to drive fluids to
surface.
When pressures get low, artificial lift technologies
(such as lift pumps) are used.
In some situations, natural gas is pumped back to the
well underneath the oil. Gas expands pushing the oil
to surface.
This method is mainly used in offshore facilities,10%
of oil in a deposit is tapped.
18. 2. Secondary method.
Water produced from oil in initial phase of drilling is
injected back into the oil deposit, bringing more oil to
the surface.
20% of the entire oil is tapped.
The main advantage to this method is that it helps in
disposing waste water back into the system.
19. 3. Enhanced recovery method.
It consists of 3 minor recovery methods, which
include;
a. Thermal recovery – injection of steam into the
formation. Heat from steam makes the flow of oil
much easier due to increased pressure.
b. Gas injection – Uses miscible or immiscible gases.
Miscible gases dissolve CO2, propane, methane
lowering its velocity and increases flow. Immiscible
gases do not mix with oil but increase pressure in the
gas cap in the reservoir.
c. Chemical flooding – Involves mixing dense water
soluble polymers with water and injecting it into the
reservoir. The water pushes the oil onto the surface.
20.
21. Types of hydrocarbons found in
petroleum.
Paraffins. (15%-60%)
Naphthenes. (30%-60%)
Aromatics. (3%-30%)
Asphaltics. (remainder.)
22. Elemental composition of
Petroleum.
Although there are considerable variations between
the ratios of organic molecules, its elemental
composition is:
Carbon. (83%-87%)
II. Hydrogen. (10%-14%)
III. Nitrogen.(0.1%-2%)
IV. Oxygen.(0.05%-1.5%)
V. Sulphur.(0.05%-6%)
VI. Metals.(<0.1%)
I.
23. Oil Pollution.
Where does the future of
petroleum resources lie?
What are the risks of
consuming oil contaminated
food?
24. What is oil pollution?
This is the release of liquid petroleum hydrocarbons
into the environment due to human activity.
25. Effects of oil spills
Oil spills have affected many people and many industries.
They affect both economy and environment. Some of the
things affected are:
1. Marine life
-Birds and fish die because they have ingested oil.
-Birds drown because oiled feathers weigh more
and their sticky feathers cannot trap enough air.
-Marine mammals such as fur seals become easy
prey if oil stick their flippers to their bodies,
making it hard for them to escape predators.
-Poisoning of wildlife higher up the food chain after
eating large amount of organisms that have ingested
oil already.
26.
27. Effects of oil spills
2. Local industry(often tourist industry)
-Oil, dead fish and birds all get washed up on the
shores and the oil slick interferes in activities such as
fishing, sailing and swimming.
-Local tourists industry will suffer since no tourists
will have interest to visit a coastal area without such
activities.
-Industries that rely on clean sea water will stop their
operations when the water is polluted by oil.
3. Fishing industry
-Fish become poisonous after they are covered with oil or have
swallowed it.
-Large number of fish die, decreasing the number of fish
that could possibly have been caught.
-It is also difficult for boats to sail because the oil damage them
and the devices they use to catch fish.

29. USES OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS
Alkenes are manufactured into plastics or other
compounds.
Lubricants produces greases and are used in adding
viscosity stabilizers.
Wax is used in packaging of frozen food.
Paraffin wax is used in candle making and as a chewing
gum additive.
Asphalt is used in making asphalt concrete for road
surfaces.
Petroleum coke used in speciality carbon products or
as solid fuel.
