Decrypted Contents
Oil and Gas
From Formation to Production
From Formation to Production
INTRODUCTORY REMARKS
This book deals with the field surface operations and facilities for handling and processing the produced oil, gas, and water. This is an important aspect in the overall planning and development of the field and must be considered and integrated into the early stages of planning, economic evaluation, and development of the field. Before considering the surface production operations and facilities, however, extensive work and studies are first made to characterize and evaluate the reservoir, determine the production strategy for the life of the field, design the well completions that are compatible with the production strategy, and design the welldrilling programs.
Petroleum engineering students would, normally, have covered the subject matters related to the reservoir, well completion, drilling, and subsurface production methods before taking a course on surface production operations. Non-petroleum-engineering students taking this course, however, would be lacking such important and useful knowledge and background. This chapter, therefore, provides brief background information for the non-petroleum-engineering students to appreciate all operations related to the production of oil and gas.
A brief description of how oil and gas were formed and accumulated underground is first presented. A description of the various type of petroleum reservoir according to their geologic and production classifications is then provided. The exploration activities used in finding (discovering) petroleum reservoirs are then highlighted. Finally, an overview of the field development work, including the reservoir, drilling, and production engineering aspects of the development, are summarized.
