What does oil production mean?

In upstream oil and gas, the production phase is after the wells' completion and equipping. This phase includes extracting oil and natural gas liquids. After collection, the oil is moved to the midstream oil segment for transportation, and then to downstream for refining and marketing into finished products including gasoline, natural gas liquids, diesel, lubricants, plastics, and more.

How long does oil exploration take?

The length of time varies. The average time to study an area for feasibility is 1 to 3 months. Analyzing vast amounts of data in some locations is more difficult because of geological challenges. The prospects for production need to be studied and quantified by drilling first. Infrastructure development includes constructing wellheads, flow lines, gathering systems, and processing facilities.

How does oil and gas exploration work?

Using seismic reflections to detect hydrocarbons underground, echoes are captured using sensors to bounce off the sediments. This advanced technology can see depths of more than 3,000 meters. To determine if the reservoirs are worth drilling into, we use surrounding well data, multiple geological reviews backed by 3rd party evaluations, and numerous other technology forms.

What is oil exploration and production?

Activities that include search, exploration, drilling, and extraction phases are the earliest parts of oil exploration and production (E&P or EP). Rock formations and layers of sediment within the soil are assessed if oil and natural gas are present. Through land surveys, these areas are identified to locate specific minerals. After identification, the underground areas are further studied to estimate the amount of oil and gas reserves before drilling.

Key differences that matter

Direct participation often provides better tax breaks than royalties, because working-interest owners may be able to elect to expense intangible drilling costs and claim depletion. Royalties may get depletion, but typically don’t generate IDC-style deductions because royalty holders aren’t paying drilling costs.

Royalties only pay after production. Direct participation may require upfront spending before first sales, and cash flow can vary as wells decline.

Why U.S. Oil & Gas?

Increased Demand

Global demand for oil and gas is continuously on the rise, while the actual supplies are on the decline. Over 50 million barrels of oil per day are used by the top ten oil consuming countries in the world.
