Oil 101: Introduction to Oil and Gas - Upstream
What is Upstream? This Midstream content is derived from our Oil 101 Upstream ebook and can be found in our oil and gas learning community.
This Upstream module includes the following sections (use the links below for quick access):
-Introduction to Upstream
-Upstream Business Characteristics
-Oilfield Services
-Reserves – Formation and Importance
-Production – The First Step in Adding Value
-The Unconventional Future of Upstream
Upstream
What is Upstream? Most oil and gas companies’ business structures are segmented and organized according to business segment, assets, or function.
The upstream segment of the business is also known as the exploration and production (E&P) sector because it encompasses activities related to searching for, recovering and producing crude oil and natural gas.
The upstream segment is all about wells: where to locate them; how deep and how far to drill them; and how to design, construct, operate and manage them to deliver the greatest possible return on investment with the lightest, safest and smallest operational footprint.
Exploration
The exploration sector involves obtaining a lease and permission to drill from the owners of onshore or offshore acreage thought to contain oil or gas, and conducting necessary geological and geophysical (G&G) surveys required to explore for (and hopefully find) economic accumulations of oil or gas.
Drilling
There is always uncertainty in the geological and geophysical survey results. The only way to be sure that a prospect is favorable is to drill an exploratory well. Drilling is physically creating the “borehole” in the ground that will eventually become an oil or gas well. This work is done by rig contractors and service companies in the Oilfield Services business sector.
Production
The production sector of the upstream segment maximizes recovery of petroleum from subsurface reservoirs.

Introduction to Drilling
Today we’re going to talk about the Drilling function of Upstream. If you missed our previous podcasts on Upstream Fundamentals and Exploration, be sure to go check them out. We’ll put the relevant links in the program notes.
In this drilling overview we touch on the wildcat well and current drilling capabilities, offer more insight into the role of oilfield services, and give some historical perspective on this segment of upstream oil and gas.
Drilling Details
As we discussed in the Exploration podcast, the first step in adding value is to locating the oil and gas reservoirs that are often far below the surface, and in deeper offshore prospects.
Even with the latest seismic technology and computer modeling, many characteristics of a prospect remain unknown until an exploratory or “wildcat” well is drilled. Repeating from that podcast, “you can’t find oil if you don’t drill wells.”

Processing – The Next Step in Adding Value
Transportation
Storage
Midstream - As its name implies, the midstream segment encompasses facilities and processes that sit between the upstream and downstream segments. Activities can include processing, storage and transportation of crude oil and natural gas.
In most cases, oil and gas reserves are not located in the same geographic location as refining assets and major consumption regions.
Transportation is a big part of midstream activities and can include using pipelines, trucking fleets, tanker ships, and rail cars.
The midstream segment is separated from upstream and downstream in most oil companies because it is considered a low risk, regulated type of business. It does not fit the risk profile or asset complexity of the other segments of the oil and gas industry.
Success in the midstream segment depends on many external forces including:
-Upstream operations continuous delivery of reserves
-Refinery margins that encourage refined product production
-Health of the downstream, natural gas, and petrochemical industry markets.
-Natural gas price levels that impact the attractiveness of NGL’s as feedstock
-Political sentiment for pipeline expansion and “not in my backyard” hurdles
While the midstream gathering and processing sector is relatively free of commercial regulation, the movement of gas by interstate pipelines and subsequent state level distribution activities are highly regulated in the US by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

The Production and Offshore Construction Module provides a high level overview of production operations. It introduces the offshore contractors and production service providers that assist E&P companies in efficiently producing oil and gas.
We’ll also cover well completions and key measures and drivers that influence production business operations.
We’ll also give some historical perspective on this part of upstream oil and gas operations.
Production
Once oil or gas is found with a wildcat or discovery well, the next step in adding value to reserves is to get the reservoir fluids brought to the surface, or “produce” them. After all, upstream is also called E&P!

What is Downstream?
This Downstream module includes the following sections:
-Downstream Business Characteristics
-Refining – Products and Participants
-Consumption – The Final Step in Adding Value
-Marketing and Retail
Downstream
Processing, transporting and selling refined products made from crude oil is the business of the downstream segment of the oil and gas industry.
Key downstream business sectors include:
-Oil Refining
-Supply and Trading
-Product Marketing and Retail
The downstream industry provides thousands of products to end-user customers around the globe.
Many products are familiar such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, heating oil and asphalt for roads. Others are not as familiar such as lubricants, synthetic rubber, plastics, fertilizers and pesticides.
The downstream segment is a margin business. Margin is defined as the difference between the price realized for the products produced from the crude oil and the cost of the crude delivered to the refinery.
Although the price of crude sets the absolute level of product prices, it may or may not affect refining or marketing margins. Downstream margins tend to be reduced, or squeezed, when crude price increases often cannot be recovered in the marketplace. On the other hand, margins tend to hold, or even increase, when crude prices drop and the marketplace more slowly adjusts to these lower crude prices.
The downstream segment includes complex and diverse activities including manufacturing, petrochemical refining, distribution, and retail.
A global perspective is important because of the global nature of the energy supply chain as well as the impact of supply and demand on both feedstock and product prices.
Difference Between Upstream & Midstream & Downstream Activities in Oil and Ga...Student
The Upstream activities sector include the searching and extraction of underground crude oil and natural gas , drilling exploratory wells, and subsequently drilling and operating the wells that recover and bring the crude oil and/or raw natural gas to the surface.
In the petroleum industry, locating underground or underwater oil reserves characterizes the upstream process. Additionally, the upstream process in this industry involves bringing oil and gas to the surface. Extraction wells represent an example of a structure operating in this stage in the process. The upstream stage in the production process may also manifest itself as a supplier providing raw materials to manufacturers or other businesses that ultimately process the materials.

Marco Sully Perez said Oil and gas workers face unique health and safety challenges and are recognized by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) as a priority industry sector under the National Workplace Research Initiative (NORA) to identify and develop intervention strategies in the labor sector Protect. health and safety issues. In 2011, the oil and gas and ancillary industries employed more than 450,000 people (Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages). Therefore, oil well drilling and field maintenance are two different types of business activities in the oil and gas industry.
Prospects of Tar Sand in Nigeria Energy Mixtheijes
In ancient times, the Elamites, Chaldeans, Akkadians, and Sumerians mined shallow deposits of asphalt, or bitumen occurring in tar sand for their own use. Mesopotamian bitumen was exported to Egypt where it was employed for various purposes, including the preservation of mummies. Tar sand had many other uses in the ancient world. It was mixed with sand and fibrous materials for use in the construction of watercourses and levees and as mortar for bricks. In Nigeria, development of heavy oil and bitumen in Tar sand reserves is increasing around the western part of the country. The increasing volume of cheaper heavy oil in the supply mix has provided an incentive for refiners to upgrade their equipment to process the poorer-quality heavier crude occurring in tar sand. The upgrading investments have helped to maintain a demand for heavy oil in spite of the declining price of conventional crude since the early 1980s. As the demand for heavy oil and synthetic crude from tar sands remains strong, heavyhydrocarbon development projects are being initiated in western part of Nigeria. In addition, unsuccessful attempts to find new giant conventional oil fields in recent years have caused some producers to turn to the marginally economic heavy hydrocarbons to replace depleted petroleum reservoirs. Bitumen development in Nigeria is also poised to become Nigerian major foreign exchange earner, second to conventional oil in the coming years.
Digital oil field DOF system is mainly focused on wells, production, and operations but now expanding into field decisions and management. The integration of the production systems’ models with the reservoir models is growing in order to optimize production and recovery. Digital oil fields integrate technology, information, people, and processes to maximize asset performance and value across the oil and gas production life cycle. The purpose of digital or smart oilfields solutions is straightforward which are to optimize production, improve operational efficiency and to increase productivity through integrated workforce. This paper represents an introduction to digital oil field. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Introduction to PSM Online Interactive TrainingJohn Kingsley
Process Safety Management (PSM ) refers to a set of interrelated approaches to manage hazards associated with the process industries and is intended to reduce the frequency and severity of incidents resulting from releases of chemicals and other energy sources. These standards are composed of organizational and operational procedures, design guidance, audit programs, and a host of other methods.
A comprehensive PSM program to identify, assess and control facility hazards, including fires, explosions and the release of highly hazardous chemicals is crucial to any industrial organization’s safety plan. With iFluids online PSM training, learners will gain important information about the elements most frequently cited by OSHA, as well as topics like emergency planning and response, mechanical integrity and management of change at a fundamental level.

Sil assessment Risk Graph and LOPA Training iFluidsJohn Kingsley
LOPA is the newest methodology for hazard evaluation and risk assessment. On a sliding scale of sophistication and rigor, LOPA lies between the qualitative end of the scale (characterized by methods such as hazard and operability, or HAZOP, analysis and what-if analysis) and the quantitative end (characterized by methods using fault trees and event trees). LOPA helps the analyst make consistent decisions on the adequacy of existing or proposed layers of protection against an accident scenario. The technique is ideally suited for companies striving to meet specific risk targets or to lower risk as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP).

Behaviour-Based Safety: The blame game
An entire department is given bingo cards. The game continues until someone in that department reports a work related injury or illness. At that time, everyone has to turn in his or her markers and the game starts over. Imagine the pressure on the poor worker who slices his or her finger or suffers some type of sprain, not to report an injury, because a co-worker is about to reach BINGO and win the VCR or microwave oven.
Sound familiar? Scenarios such as this are growing in frightening proportions as more and more workplaces are adopting behaviour-based safety programs as part of their health and safety arsenal. UFCW Canada opposes this type of so called Health and Safety program as this type of program also encourages workers to spy on their co-workers for working in an unsafe manner

Hydrocarbon leak detection in tank farmsJohn Kingsley
On December 10, 2005, Tank 912 at the Buncefield Oil Storage Depot in Hertfordshire, England, was filling with gasoline. According to a report by the European Process Safety Centre, the tank had two forms of level control: a gauge enabling personnel to monitor the filling operation; and an independent high-level switch (IHLS) which was meant to shut down operations automatically if the tank was overfilled.
The first gauge stuck and the IHLS was inoperable, so there was no means to alert the control room staff that the tank was filling to dangerous levels. Eventually, large quantities of gasoline overflowed from the top of the tank. A bund retaining wall around the tank and a system of drains and catchment areas that were supposed to ensure that liquids could not be released to the environment failed. More than 66,000 gallons (250,000 liters) of gasoline escaped from the tank before the explosion occurred.
Risk Assessment, Compliance and Creation of Management Systems as per API 2350: Overfill Protection for Storage Tanks in Petroleum
A visual signal is a luminous source within a coloured transparent enclosure and is used in many applications not least as reinforcement to an audible signal in the event of danger, warning or machine status / system process.
Effectiveness of visual signals
With the possible exception of status indicators, the purpose of the E2S visual signals range is to attract attention as compared with a luminaire or general purpose light which is intended to illuminate a given area and not necessarily attract attention. Therefore the effectiveness or the light intensity of a device as opposed to merely its capacity to illuminate is probably the important consideration. Different light sources may offer significantly different effective light intensity and ability to attract attention, particularly when flashing; however in contrast their ability to illuminate a given area may be fairly poor.
E2S provides information relating to the effectiveness of a visual signal based on actual measurements for each model within the E2S range. The information provided IS NOT based on rule of thumb assumptions and / or calculations alone. We therefore have confidence our measured light output values are meaningful and will better aid product selection.
Introduction to bowtie : A barrier-based approach to riskJohn Kingsley
Bowtie is one of many barrier risk models available to assist the identification and management of risk and it is this particular model we have found (and are still finding) useful.
These pages explain:
what a bowtie can be used for,
how it can help you,
how to go about the methodology and
what to look for within a model.
The bowtie model consists of different elements that build up the risk picture. The risk picture revolves around the hazard (something in, around or part of an organisation or activity which has the potential to cause damage or harm) and the top event (the release or loss of control over a hazard known as the undesired system state).
Consideration is then turned to the threats (a possible direct cause for the top event), consequences (results of the top event directly ending in loss or damage) and the controls (any measure taken which acts against some undesirable force or intention
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

4. Fossil Fuels
What is a fossil fuel?
➢ Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons such as Coal, Oil and Natural gas.
➢ Sourced from the organic remains of prehistoric organisms.
How do fossil fuels form?
❖ Oil and Gas are formed from the organic remains of marine organisms.
❖ Coal is typically formed in non-marine settings from the remains of land
vegetation.
Oil & Gas formation
▪ Oil and Gas formation begins with the accumulation of organics on the sea-
floor.
▪ The sediment pile becomes deeper and the organics within it are
subjected to Heat and Pressure which leads to formation of Oil and then
Gas.
▪ The geometry of the reservoir and cap-rock bodies must be such that the
hydrocarbons become trapped; usually folding will suffice.

6. Oil & Gas Exploration Economics
•Oil exploration is an expensive, High-risk operation.
•Exploration is generally only undertaken by very large
Corporations or National Governments.
Cost of Oil Exploration :
➢ Shallow shelf oil wells cost USD$10 – 30 Million.
(e.g. North sea)
➢ Deep water wells can cost up to USD$100 million plus.

7. Definition of Oil Reserves
Oil reserves are primarily a measure of geological Risk of the Probability of oil
existing and being producible -
(A) Under current economic conditions.
(B) Using current technology at current prices.
(C) With current commercial terms and Government consent.
Three categories of reserves are : Proven, Probable, and Possible Reserves
-
◼ Proven reserves - Defined as oil and gas "Reasonably Certain" to be producible
satisfying (A),(B) & (C) - also known in the industry as 1P. e.g.,P90 - i.e. having
a 90% certainty of being produced.
◼ Probable reserves - Defined as oil and gas "Reasonably Probable" of being
produced satisfying (A),(B) & (C) - Industry specialists refer to this as P50 - i.e.
having a 50% certainty of being produced. This is also known in the industry
as 2P or Proven plus probable.
◼ Possible reserves - i.e. “Having a chance of being developed under favourable
circumstances" - Some industry specialists refer to this as P10 - i.e. having a
10% certainty of being produced. This is also known in the industry as 3P or
Proven plus probable plus possible.

8. PDC bit for well drilling
Tricone rock bit
Well drilling is the process of drilling a hole in the ground for the extraction of Natural
Resources such as
❖ Water , Natural gas or Crude Oil.
Drilling for the exploration of the natural Resources underground (such as Oil & Gas) is
best described as borehole drilling, or “Drilling”.
Well drilling can be done either manually or mechanically and the nature of required
equipment varies from Simple and cheap to very Sophisticated.
Drill bits are made of Diamond (due to it’s hardness).
Drilling Equipment
Introduction to Oil & Gas sector 19th July 2020
9. Step 1: Gathering Seismic information
The existence of oil and natural gas may be determined by using sound waves
(Process called 3-D seismic). Vibrations are sent underground and reflected back to
a listening device on the surface. Different zones and formations below the earth
reflect these vibrations at different speeds, allowing operators to generate a
picture or cross section of the potential zones and structures located beneath the
surface.
Step 2: Signing the Leasing Agreement
Standard Oil and Natural gas lease forms establish partnership between the
mineral Owner and Operator for the drilling and production of oil and natural gas.
The mineral owner bears no risk, but in return receives regular royalty payments
based on the well’s production revenue. The operator incurs all risks and costs
associated with drilling and producing the well.
Step 3: Preparing the Drill site
After a lease agreement is signed, Operator builds drill sites, utilizing as small an
area as possible that will safely accommodate the drilling Rig and associated
equipment. Once drilling is completed, the drill site is typically downsized to a
minimum area for the surface production equipment.
Drilling and Production Process
Introduction to Oil & Gas sector 19th July 2020
10. Step 4: Drilling
Once the drilling rig and other necessary equipment are in place, the drilling
process begins. The depths of wells vary greatly depending on the formation and
play. Some operators specializing in horizontal drilling techniques, begin with
vertical hole before drilling horizontally into the potential productive zone to
recover the maximum reserves.
Step 5: Completing
As a well reaches the completion phase, the original drilling rig is removed and a
smaller completion rig is moved-in to perforate and treat the potentially
productive zones. These high-technology “fracing” completion processes stimulate
production by pressuring completion fluids and materials into the zone and creating
cracks for the gas to flow up into the wellbore.
Step 6: Producing
A wellhead or “Christmas tree” is placed on top of the existing well site to control
and regulate the flow of gas into a pipeline in order for the gas to be transported
to market through a regional pipeline system.
Drilling and Production Process (Contd.)
