| Review: | What oil and gas companies actually do to discover and produce hydrocarbons is a mystery to many people outside the exploration and production community, and they fail to realize what large capital sums are put at risk. More than 80 per cent of the money that oils and gas companies spend goes not to their own engineers, scientists and operating staff but to service companies and suppliers. This book aims to bridge the knowledge gap between production operators and those who help make it happen, so producing a better understanding of the service companies’ and suppliers’ roles. There are chapters on: the history of production; the origin; characterization and discovery of oil sources; oil and natural gas; ownership; drilling, logging, testing and completing; hydrocarbon activity in the reservoir; production; field processing; remedial operations and workovers; the companies, workers and suppliers involved; and oil company strategy. |
