Track 1:Oil Formation

 

Crude Oil is also commonly called as “ Black Gold”. It is formed from the  high temperature and pressure on  buried remains of animals and plants that lived over millions of years ago in the environment. Oil and Gas are hydrocarbons because they are the compound of carbon and hydrogen atoms. By the increase in temperature, organic matter is first changed into kerogen, which is a solid form of hydrocarbon .At around 90°C, it is changed into a liquid state, which we call oil and at around 150°C, it is converted into a gas. A rock that has produced oil and gas in this way is known as a Source Rock

It mainly comprises of hydrocarbon molecules and formed from marine species, upwelling water and Black Shale. It can also classified as either “sweet crude” (sulphur content less than 0.5%) or “sour crude” (sulphur content is at least 2.5%). Mixture of hydrocarbon molecules is responsible for its variations in colour, composition and inconsistency.

 

 

Track 2:Oil Refining

As crude oil often contains unstable mixture of several hydrocarbons, water, inorganic salts, water-soluble trace metals and suspended solids, so this process is to reduce corrosion, plugging, and fouling of equipment and to prevent poisoning catalysts in processing units. For industrial applications and to make the oil economically viable crude oils must be purified and converted into products having an almost constant composition, well adapted to their use. Typical refinery products are LPG, kerosene, gasoline, fuel oil, lubricating oil, paraffin wax, asphalt and tar.

Essentially, refining breaks down into its various components, which then are selectively reconfigured into new products. Oil refineries are quite complex plants but are relatively mature and highly integrated. This process meets the demand for cleaner products and is the major drive for process refinement and development of novel processes.

 

Track 3:Upstream Processes

The upstream segment of the business sector is also known as the Exploration and Production (E & P) sector because it surrounds the field related to observing for, regaining and producing crude oil and natural gas. Upstream is the first progressive step in the oil industry. These activities are all about wells: where to detect them; how deep and how far to drill them; and how to outline, employ, operate and manage them to deliver the greatest possible return on investment with the brightest, safest and shortest operational footmark.

Upstream can be exploited into many components, but the main ones we’ll touch on are: discovering out and selecting potential and probable oil sites, evaluation of these sites, drilling and grounding exploratory wells, if the wells are deemed economically feasible and recoverable and operating these wells to extract crude oil.

 

 

Track 4:Midstream Facilities

Second progressive part in Oil and Gas Industry is the Midstream Processes which provides the link between natural gas being produced at a source and then fulfilling society’s need for energy and by-products. As its name implies, the midstream segment surrounds facilities and processes that sit between the upstream and downstream segments. Activities include processing, storage and transportation (by pipeline, rail, barge, oil tanker or truck), storage, and wholesale marketing of crude or refined petroleum products.

Most large oil companies are known as being "integrated" because they integrate upstream activities, which include exploration and production, with downstream operations. This segment also includes  Pipeline Corrosion control, Leakage Recognition, Road Transport and Environment, Route development, Bulk Natural Gas and Oil Transport, End Developers and Operators, Fire Protection and Emergency Response and Crude Oil Exports.

 

Track 5:Downstream Technologies

Downstream operations are the oil and gas operations that take place after the production phase, through to the point of sale. This sector includes the Petroleum, Crude Oil Refining, Natural Gas Processing, Contaminants, Refining Technologies, Natural Gas and Condensate analysis and Processing and Commercial and Legal Structures .It involves the processes where oil and condensates are processed into marketable products with defined specifications such as gasoline, propellant, diesel or feedstock for the petrochemical industries.

This sector is the part of the oil industry involved with purifying crude oil and refining it into different products which runs mainly on three factors: separation, conversion and treatment. It’s operations includes refining crude oil and distributing the by-products down to the retail level. By-products can include diesel oil, natural gas liquids, gasoline and a variety of other energy sources. As the transportation and carriage of crude oil is a big universal business and an important part of the downstream sector, it also involves the transportation and marketing of crude oil and its products.

Track 6:Exploration and Production

Modern Oil and Gas Exploration method involves various innovative techniques to find the reserves. It involves Geophysics and various geological factors, the exploration risk and licensing related with it. It requires looking for signs, careful and conscious observation of ground conditions, taking notes of different information and the evaluation of survey data. This is to be done by petroleum geoscientists. The exploration phase involves drilling wells to estimate whether a reservoir has ample of hydrocarbons to make development economically feasible.

Companies involved in the high-threat/high-reward area of exploration and production focus on searching, expanding, producing and retailing different types of oil and gas. Today, technological innovation allows more effective and systematic management of fields and better analysis of exploration scopes, reducing the need to drill innumerable exploratory wells thus saving money and minimising environmental damage. As the need to find fresh and new oil and gas deposits increases, the exploration industry will be persistently driven toward the use of more advanced investigating methods, including latest seismic technologies.

 

Track 7:Petroleum and Petrochemicals

Petroleum and Petrochemicals includes New Technologies and Discoveries related to petroleum products, Chemical processes, Petrochemistry, Future targets, Marine and Petroleum Geology and Chemical Engineering. Petrochemicals, also called petroleum condensates, are chemical products derived from petroleum. The different petrochemical applications in industries are the key factors of the growth in this sector. The future brings more and more potentials for the petrochemical industry as a supplier of basic materials. Petrohemical industry favours integration due to obtain secure, low cost feed supply, enhance by-product stream value, minimize cost structure. This  industry is a wide-ranging, creating a variety of chemical products.
 
The petroleum industry is involved in the global processes of exploration, extraction, refining, transporting (often with oil tankers and pipelines, conveyers), and marketing petroleum products. The manufacture of valuable petrochemicals from low-valued petroleum products has been the main attractive option for the refining industry investing in the petrochemical industry. Thus, modern refineries are, in fact, refinery cum petrochemical complexes.
 

Track 8:Biofuels and Hydrocarbons

Biofuels are a hot environmental topic at the moment .The role of the biofuel industry is not to replace petroleum diesel completely, but to help in creating a balanced energy policy with the most benefit. Biodiesel is one of several possible fuels designed to widened the usefulness of petroleum, and the longevity and cleanliness of diesel engines. Biofuels carbon neutral: growing a tree and then burning it as a biofuel doesn't add any carbon dioxide to the atmosphere or make global warming any worse.

 Biofuels are a wide range of fuels which are in some way derived from biomass. The term involves solid biomass, liquid fuels and various biogases. Biofuels are gaining increased public and scientific recognition, driven by factors such as oil price spikes and the need for increased energy security and sustainability. The greatest amounts of hydrocarbons are used as fuel for combustion, particularly in heating and automobile fuel applications. The major components of natural gas are methane and LNG/ CNG. We are all familiar with the use of Shale Gas/ Shale Oil, Biodiesel.

 

Track 9:Oil and gas impacts

The Oil and Gas industries form the engine of the world’s economy. Gas plays a fundamental role in economic growth and progress with a greater contribution to the generation of electricity. It also plays a key role in national security. Because of the diverse uses oil and gas and their direct links to economic and social wellbeing, the demand for these commodities and their products continues to grow as incomes rise and populations expand in most developing countries. Oil prices have greater impact on economic, social and political sectors. Oil and gas companies frequently collaborate with national and local govt., national and international organizations.

 

Track 10:Global Oil and Gas

There is a worldwide demand for Oil and Gas which is not going to decline for decades. EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) expects global consumption of petroleum and oil fuels to continue to grow by 1.2 million b/d in 2016 and by 1.5 million b/d in 2017. Dubai, UAE and Qatar countries in Asia hold among the most important sites present in the world Oil and Gas scenario and world conserve. There are also continental Oil and Gas growths, Challenges and issues in Oil and Gas developments, Gas industry and profession, Global Price influence and Price Monitoring and methods of pollution control which control the economy. Looking at the future, a tenable, long-term goal would be to produce 70% of the resource base of conventional or prevailing oils and 30% of the unconventional extra bulk oils. And for this, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) approach is the only alternative.

With rising global energy demand, the oil and gas industry has a wide range of challenges and opportunities across the different production streams and oilfield services sectors. The past two years have seen a significant build-up in oil companies planned investments in unconventional oil and gas plays, with a marked increase in joint enterprises and acquisitions.
