EARLY HISTORY
Abraham Gesner
(1797-1864)
The modern era of oil usage began in 1846
when Gesner perfected the art of paraffin
distillation.
This triggered a massive worldwide boom in oil
production.
California was centre of activity in the early
1900s, famous for its gushers.

These “reservoir rocks” hold the oil like a sponge, confined by other non-porous layers that form a “trap.”
HOW PETROLEUM AND GAS WERE FORMED?

• Most oil and gas starts life as microscopic plants and animals
that live in the ocean.
ORIGIN: ON THE SEA BED

The upstream sector includes searching for potential underground or
underwater crude oil and natural gas fields, drilling exploratory wells, and
subsequently drilling and operating the wells that recover and bring the
crude oil or raw natural gas to the surface.

EXPLORATION: SEISMIC SURVEYS

Seismic surveys are used to locate likely rock structures underground in which oil and gas might be found
Shock waves are fired into the ground.
These bounce off layers of rock and reveal any structural domes that might contain oil
APPRAISAL AND DEVELOPMENT
Production can begin immediately after the discovery well is drilled or several years later after appraisal and
delineation wells have been drilled.
Appraisal wells are used to provide more information about reservoir properties and fluid flow. Delineation
wells better define reservoir boundaries.
In some cases, delineation wells are converted to development wells.
Development wells are drilled in the known extent of the field and are used to optimize resource recovery.
A buildup period ensues after first oil until a production plateau is reached.
The production plateau is usually a consequence of facility limitations such as pipeline capacity.
Production continues until an economic limit is reached and the field is abandoned.
PRODUCTION PROFIL
PRODUCTION STAGES
PRODUCTION STAGES
Primary production is the first stage of production and relies entirely on natural energy sources to drive
reservoir fluids to the production well. The reduction of pressure during primary production is often referred to
as primary depletion.
Oil recovery can be increased in many cases by slowing the decline in pressure. This can be achieved by
supplementing natural reservoir energy. The supplemental energy is provided using an external energy
source, such as water injection or gas injection. The injection of water or natural gas may be referred to as
pressure maintenance or secondary production.
EOR (enhanced oil recovery) processes include miscible, chemical, thermal, and microbial processes were
implemented as a third, tertiary production stages that followed secondary production. EOR processes are
designed to improve displacement efficiency by injecting fluids or heat.
ENHANCED RECOVERY
• Although oil and gas are less dense than water and
naturally rise up a well to the surface, in reality only
40-50% of the total will do so.
Discussion
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF OIL?
Many experts believe we are running out of oil because it is becoming increasingly difficult to discover new
reservoirs that contain large volumes of conventional oil and gas.
Much of the exploration effort is focusing on less hospitable climates, such as arctic conditions in Siberia and
deepwater offshore regions near West Africa.
Yet we already know where large volumes of oil remain: in the reservoirs that have already been discovered
and developed.
Current development techniques have recovered approximately one third of the oil in known fields. That
means roughly two thirds remains in the ground where it was originally found.
OIL RESOURCES
The separation process separates the crude oil into product streams that need to be changed into mixtures
that are suitable for the consumer.
The process of converting low‐value, high molecular weight hydrocarbon mixtures into high‐value, lower
molecular weight hydrocarbon products is known as the conversion process.
Conversion is achieved by breaking the hydrocarbon chains of higher molecular weight molecules to produce
hydrocarbon molecules with lower molecular weights.
Purification is the last step in the refining process following separation and conversion. The primary purpose
of purification is to remove sulfur in a process called hydrotreating. Unfinished products are fed into a
hydrotreater that contains a catalyst and hydrogen in a high‐temperature, high‐pressure chamber. The
catalyst increases the chemical reaction rate for a reaction that removes sulfur from molecules in the input
stream.
