1.4.1 OIL & GAS FIELDS GEOLOGY & EXPLORATION
a) EXPLORATION
1. Life on earth possibly began during the infancy of the planet, and for the first long epochs of time it existed primarily in the form of marine creatures and plants thatinhabited the great inland seas covering the continents.
2. As the marine creatures and plants died, their remains mixed with silt from erosion and deposited in beds of sediments in the ocean bottoms. Some beds of sediment compacted into dense shale rocks, and some became limestone and sandstone.The organic matter in the rocks was converted to oil and gas – by the action of heat, bacteria, radiation, and other processes.
3. If we accept that oil was formed by the action of bacteria, pressure and temperature on the remains of marine life, the question is how it has been preserved for million of years and why we find it todaymany miles from the sea?
The fact that sea level has been subject to variation through the ages is a good reason to believe that sea waters covered the Arabian Peninsula terrain some times in the distant past, forming down to its present position. This is one explanation why oil is found in remote offshore areas.
4. The oil was squeezed out of the shale beds into more porous sandstone and limestone. Then, as the crust of the earth was warped, the oil migrated along the rock beds until it became trapped in some places in the rocks. These traps are geological structures called reservoirs.
5. There are three principal types of reservoirs:
→ Anticline
The anticlincal trap is one where the rocks are bent upwards into an arch. If a porous bed with oil lies under a non-porous bed then the oil collects in the arch beneath the non-porous bed. An oil reservoir is formed.
→ Anticline
→ Fault
The fault trap is formed when the layers of rock have been broken and the rocks on one side of the break have moved down further than those on the other side. If a porous layer on one side of the break is sealed by the non-porous layer which has moved down on the opposite side, oil in the porous layer is trapped.
→ Fault
→ Stratigraphic trap
The stratighraphic trap is formed in different ways, in the illustration; the reservoir rock finally terminates between beds of non-porous limestone.
→ Stratigraphic trap
6. The first oil fields were discovered in the simplest way by finding places where oil seeped out of the ground. The most famous early oil well was drilled at Titusville, Pennsylvania, alongside a millstream on which oil floated and had been collected for a number of years by skimming.
7. Geologists, scientists who study the earth, have learned much in the past century about the kinds of rock that may hide an oil field. They look for signs on the surface which indicate that oil is nearby. A lot of experience is needed for this detective work. Just as a skilled doctor can examine a patient and diagnose a complaint from a number of small symptoms, so the oil geologist looks for a number of features which may indicate the presence underground of oil bearing formations
8. Aerial Survey: Aerial photography is an important method of making maps. An aircraft equipped with a special camera files on an exactly known path and takes a series of overlappingphotographs. This process has now been further enhanced with satellite scanning for surface minerals, topographical features (release of gases, rock foundations, etc…)
9. Ground Survey: the next step is to choose likely areas from such maps and explore them on the ground. Their geological history is studied and various clues looked for, such as possible cap rocks, impermeable rocks that might be acting as a seal to oil underneath. The rocks are studied and classified with the help of fossils; animal remains were buried with the sediment that formed the rocks.
10. Gravimetric Survey: Oil is sometimes found near underground salt domes which can be located by lower gravitational readings.This is the basis of gravimetric survey. Using instruments to measure the gravity with extraordinary precision, slight changes can be found which indicate different densities below the surface. The sensitivity required in a gravimeter is such that it must be able to measure differences of about one part of ten million, the equivalent of weighing a motor car and being able to detect the presence of a few drops of water on the roof.
11. Magnetic Survey: the technique of magnetic surveys is to measure the earth’s magnetic field at a number of spots over the area under examination.
12. Seismic Survey: by detonating high explosives under controlled conditions. The waves produced are picked up on geophones or receivers placed at a number of points on the surface and connected electrically to the recording apparatus.Seismic Surveys are in three types:13. A. The 2D seismic survey13. B. The 3D seismic survey, where the shot locations and the geophone locations are laid along perpendicular lines with clearances between the lines ranging from 25 to 50 meters13. C. The 4D seismic survey, which is a repetition of 3D seismic survey at determined times.
Seismic Reflection SurveyingSeismic Reflection Surveying
Test Drilling: All the results of exploration up to that point lead only to an assessment of the probability of finding oil. The last step in exploration, therefore, is to drill a test well. Only by doing so can the existence of an oil accumulation be proved or disproved.The proof of oil this search for oil is determined by the actualdrilling of a well to test underground formations.
b) DRILLING FOR OIL
From seismic records, contour maps of underground structures that may be favorable for oil accumulation can be drawn.
Basic Principles: In principle the technique of rotary drilling is quite simple. It is in many ways similar to the use of a hand drill for drilling a hole in a piece of wood, the basic requirements being a cutting tool or “bit”, means of applying weight to the bit, and a method of rotating the bit. In addition a fluid circulation system is needed to keep the bit cool and to carry away the cuttings from the bottom of the whole.
In rotary drilling, the bit usually consists of three or four hardened steel toothed rotary cutting cones, which are individually mounted on roller bearings. When the bit is rotated, each of the cutters is revolved in a circle, and the teeth bite into a chisel off fragments of the rock at the bottom of the hole.
The bit itself is fitted to the end of a number of lengths of steel pipe called “drill pipe”. This drill pipe is smaller in diameter than the bit and it is usually manufactured in sections 30 feet in length. Additional sections are screwed together as the hole becomes deeper.The top length of surface is deliberately made square, and this square pipe, called the “Kelly”, this through a square a hole in what is called a “Rotary Table”. Thus when the rotary table is rotated the Kelly rotates and the sections of drill pipe beneath it, together with the bit at the bottom of the hole also rotate.
A commonly used size of drill pipe has an outside diameter of 5 in. with a wall thickness of about 3/8 in. Drill pipe is extremely flexible in the long length which is involved in drilling a well. For example, 10.000 feet of 5 in. drill pipe is to the same scale as human hair approximately 3 feet long.
To apply downward pressure to such a long thin column in order to transmit weight to the bit would obviously impossible, so it is arranged to the first few sections of pipe immediately above the bit to be especially heavy. As many as 20 to 30 of these heavy sections of pipe, called “drill collars”, each 30 feet long and up to 10 in. in outside diameter, provide weight for the bit. Thus we now have aheavy weight of drill collars with the bit at the lower end, suspended from what is known as a “string” of drill pipe.
The fluid or mud circulation system is arranged so that theliquid is pumped from the surface down through the hollow drill pipe and drill collars to nozzle in the bit, where it is jetted at high velocity against the bottom of the hole, removing the cuttings as soon as they are chiseled away by the bit. The cuttings are then carried by the returning mud to surface through the space or “annulus” between the drill pipe and the sides of the hole.
Directional Drilling: As drilling progresses holes are surveyed frequently for inclination and, if necessarily corrective measures are taken. Sometimes wells are deliberately drilled at an angle from the vertical. This technique, known as directional drilling, is known well advanced and in constant use for such work as drilling to an undersea structure from a derrick on shore, drilling under a built up area from a site more easily accessible, drilling offshore a cluster of wells from a central platform instead of erecting a platform for each well and drilling to reach a well which has gone wild, from a safe location, in order to kill it. Frequent compass bearing and inclination surveys, taken with a topographic instrument, and ofremarkable degree of accuracy, are then directing the bit to a position thousands of feet below and horizontally distant from the start of the hole at the surface.
Rock samples or cores are taken from deep in the earth and examined in the laboratory. From these samples, data is obtained to estimate the volume of oil, gas and water in the reservoir rock.
Tubing and Christmas Tree: after the well has been perforated, a string of smaller pipe called tubing, usually 3 ½ inches in diameter is lowered into the hole. If the well is intended to be a duel producer, a packer is inserted between the tubing and casing above the lowerproducing zone so that production from the lower formation can flow separately through the tubing and that from the upper formation from the annulus between tubing and casing.
During the drilling operation, the hole is filled with mud heavyenough to overcome the pressure in the reservoir. During the completion phase, this allows for the safe removal of the blowout preventors; a well control head is then fitted and connected to the tubing and casing of the surface. It is an assembly of valves and fittings to control the flow of the oil and known as the “Christmas Tree”.
To produce the oil, the low solids completion fluid in the casing is displayed by water until the pressure of the water is less than that of the oil and gas in the formation.When this happens the oil and gas push out the water and the well starts to flow.
c) PRODUCTION OF OIL
When oil is found at a location it should be assessed to establish if it has commercial viability. Therefore it must not be assumed, that the exploratory effort is completed. One well alone cannot indicate the full extend of an oil accumulation and it is necessary to drill several carefully located wells to determine the size of a reservoir. It is also essential at an early stage to obtain some idea of the quantity of oil, and gas which is recoverable, so that the proper type of surfaceproduction plant can be selected.
The mechanism for producing oil to the surface and handling it thereafter will depend largely on its characteristics. Crude mayrange from a heavy viscous oil, almost a tar with little or no gas dissolved in it under a very low pressure, to an extremely light straw colored liquid with a considerable volume of gas, known as condensate. Between these extremes there is an infinite variety of crude oil. The optimum way to produce them can only be decided after observing their physical characteristics.
Oil is produced to the surface from the pore spaces which it occupies in the reservoir rock. There are various ways of accomplishing this, depending on the kind of oil and its potential energy, which is a function of its initial pressure in the reservoir, and the amount of dissolved gas it contains. In many cases the reservoirs has sufficient potential energy to permit a well to flow to the surface at significant rates without artificial assistance. This natural flow period may continue for many years, as is frequently the case in the Middle East Fields. When the reservoir pressure declines to the point were the wells will no longer flow unaided, the wells may then be put on artificial lift to extract the remaining recoverable oil.
Artificial flow may be induced by the use of pumps or by gas lift, which is a method of injecting gas at sufficient high pressure into the oil column in the well bore, with gas bubbles so that the well is made to flow by the same mechanism as a natural flowing well.
These methods of assistance to wells, which have ceased to flow naturally due to the decline of bottom hole pressure and gas content of the crude, can obviously be applied also to wells for which initially the crude has insufficient potential energy to flow to the surface.
In some cases, depending on reservoir characteristics, it is advantageous to re-inject either gas or water into a producing reservoir to maintain its pressure and consequently its ability to produce under water or gas drive.
When the crude oil and gas have been brought to the surface,the next step is to separate the two phases and to transport theoil ultimately to a refinery for processing. Oil at the well head varies considerably from one field to another in its characteristics. Also, in some cases, it may contain salt and water which has flowed into the well from the reservoir along with the oil. In such cases it is not only essential to separate the gas from the oil treatment is required to separate the salt and water from the oil before the oil is delivered to the refinery or the Tank Farm, which is done by means of desalterdehydration facilities.
Type of plant required for the gas-oil separation process will depend upon the volume of gas dissolved in the oil as it exists in the reservoir, and the flowing well-head pressure. Obviously, a crude oil that has a low gas-oil ratio and low flowing well-head pressure will require a small separator vessel and the gas-oil separation may be accomplished in steps or stages. This is known as “Two Stage Separation”
Gathering Center Booster Station A Tank Farm
TANK FARM
TANK FARM
There are various design of separators for single or multi-stage separation. For multi-stage separation, the individual vessels may be horizontal or slightly titled, and are to all intents and purposes pipes for very large diameter. The crude oil and gas enter at a selected point and the oil flows towards the outlet at the lower end. During the time it takes to do this, which is just few minutes, gas bubbles out of the solution and leaves the separator by the gas outlet at the top. The vertical-type separator is frequently used to accomplish the same purposes.This is a separator. This separator takes fluids from the header above its midpoint and processes the fluids, usually oil, gas, and water, by gravity segregation. The gas rises to the top, the oil is taken out in the middle, and water is removed for disposal.
Since producing wells are spaced over the area of the oilfields, the production system must allow for the collection of the separated oil at convenient centers from which it can be pumped to the tank farm, to the refinery or export point. Complete production systems will depend in layout and magnitude on the characteristics of the oil and the quantity involved.
The field is divided into sectors in each of which is a gathering Centre to which the wells in that sector flow. At each GatheringCentre there is a series of connected separators to form three stages of separation. The last stage, which is only slightly above atmospheric pressure, is actually a flow tank. From this flow tank the gas-free crude is pumped by the transit pumps to the storage tanks.
Natural gas which is produced in association with oil and which has been separated from it in the normal way, is “rich” that is, it contains an appreciable portion of the heavier gaseous hydrocarbons, including pentanes and hexanes. This is particularly true of the gas evolved from the last separation stage, i.e. the tank vapor. With tank vapor gases, is to remove those constituents which can be liquefied and kept as liquids under pressure. These products are known as “Liquefied Petroleum Gas”(LPG).
The separated gas from the Gathering Centers will be sent through the collecting system to the booster stations, than compressed and transmitted to the LPG plant. After the gas has been processed there it will be fed back to high and low pressure fuel distribution networks as “lean” fuel gas.
Part of this gas is also utilized for re-injection, electrical power generation, water distillation and other general purposes.
This is a combination of the water knockout with heat applied. The vertical vessel is also a heater treater, or separation unit.
For high pressure crude with high gas content, the “Multi-Stage Separation” method is used. In this, a number of steel vertical or horizontal vessels are connected in series, the crude passing from one vessel to the next while undergoing successive reductions in pressure, so that in each vessel only a portion of the gas is allowed to come out of the solution and be withdrawn. As many as three stages of separation have been used to ensure the maximum retention of the light fractions in the oil.
Once the oil and gas leave the producing well, it proceeds through a battery of valves called a header. The large horizontal tank is used to separate oil and water and is sometimes referred to as “Water Knockout”.
On the other hand there are certain types of reservoir where it may be desirable at first to inject gas at the top of the reservoir to maintain the pressure and in this way to improve recovery from the upper part of the reservoir by gas-cap drive and gravity drainage, to be followed and augmented by water drive which might be developed in the long run into a full-scale secondary recovery water flood in the last stages of the field’s life.
Pumping water into a reservoir is called water-flooding. A water-flooding simply involves pumping water into the reservoir through selected wells. The water pushes trough the reservoir and moves the oil toward the production wells. Water-flooding can be a fairly efficient method of getting about another 16 percent of the oil, but still leaves nearly two-thirds of the original water in the reservoir.
The recovery efficiency of a reservoir, that is the amount of oil which can be recovered by a given method of production, expressed as apercentage of the oil originally in place, varies from reservoir to reservoir and depends on several factors. These govern the relative ease with which oil, gas and water can move through the pore-space of the reservoir from points of high pressure remote from the well towards the well bore where pressure is lower. It also depends on the pressure existing on the reservoir and how pressure behaves whenoil is produced from it.
The nature of the reservoir rock is important. Its porous nature may be due simply to a homogenous arrangement of pores, which are spaces between the grains of sand or crystals of limestone, or on the other hand it may be fractures and cracks in the rock, or a combination of both.
The average porosity or sum total of all the holes and openings in the reservoir rock is important. It is expressed as the percentage volume of holes or voids in the total volume to the rock. The larger it is, the greater will be the available space for the reservoir fluids. The permeability of the rock is also very important. This is the measure of the freedom of flow through the rock and depends to some extent on the size of the pores or voids and the size of the channel between one pore and the next.
The second consideration which governs the ease with which the oil and gas can flow through the reservoir towards the well is the physical characteristics of the oil with the dissolved gas. The less viscous the oil the more readily it will flow through the pores of the rock, into the bottom of the well. The viscosity of oil depends on its specific gravity (heavy components are more viscous than light ones) and also to a considerable extent on the quantity of gas in solution. A crude oil with a lot of gas solution is less viscous than the same oil with less gas in it.
Lastly and most important, the reservoir behavior as production proceeds will depend on the pressure system it possesses as a result of its geological history. The oil in migrating to the upper part of the reservoir trap in which it has come to rest, will have displaced salt water which was originally occupying that part of the formation. Not only was there water in that portion of the trap which the oil occupies, but in many cases there is a further considerable volume of water in the reservoir rock extending downwards and sideways fordistances which might vary from several hundreds of feet in somecases, to several miles in others.
This part of the reservoir, which is known as the aquifer, is under pressure, and the vast volume of water involved is therefore a source of potential energy, some or all of which may be applied to help the production process by maintaining pressure on the oil zone of the reservoir as the oil is withdrawn.
At the time of discovery, most oil contains dissolved natural gas, which is held in solution by high pressure. This is much like the way gas in a bottle of soda water is held in solution until the bottle is uncapped. When we “uncap” the reservoir by drilling wells into it, the gas in solution can push some of the oil to these producing wells, resulting in what we call “Primary Production”. On the average, only about 16 percent of the oil in the reservoir can be produced in this manner before must of the gas is gone, leaving about 84 percent of the oil.
After primary and secondary methods are exhausted, only about one-third of the oil has been recovered. The remaining oil is hard to obtain and requires more expensive processes called Enhanced OilRecovery methods. Several different approaches might be applicable in Enhanced Oil Recovery. One method called “Thermal recovery”uses steam to thin heavy oil which makes it easier to produce.
Miscible Recovery incorporates a special fluid injected into thereservoir under sufficient pressure. It dissolves into the crude oil just like the carbon dioxide is dissolved in a bottle of soda water. This reduces the oil’s viscosity, swells it, and in some cases strips the lighter hydrocarbons out of the crude oil, forming a solvent bank.
Chemical flooding comes in several varieties:Polymer, alkaline or caustic, and micellar or surfactant solutions. These highly complex processes have the greatest potential for recovering oil compared with other Enhanced Oil Recover methods.
On a Continuous steam flood, the condensed steam transfers heat to the reservoir, forming a hot water bank which is propagated by continuous injection of steam and hot air or water.
In many cases there are reservoirs where both gas and water recovery mechanisms operate. The relative extent to which these two main types of drive will operate will depend largely on the way the production operation is carried out and this, in turn, will significantly affect the recovery efficiency. Reservoir engineering studies, indicates just what measures are required to get the maximum recovery from the reservoir this may mean augmenting the water drive by injecting water.
In much the same way that water is pumped into a reservoir, we can pump gas into the reservoir to supplement the natural gas force. This moves the oil through the reservoir to the production wells, increasing oil recovery.
CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION
Success in the search for oil is achieved when:
1. Oil is found in commercial quantities. 2. Then the development drilling of the oil field. 3. The process of production of oil from the well through the
gathering centre to the storage tanks and refineries.
Then comes refining.Loading the tankers is the next step in delivering the oil, LPG and its products to the markets of the world.

HAZARDSHAZARDS
• Falling objects:– Workers on a building or structure above the scaffold could
drop something onto the scaffold– Scaffolding erectors could drop something during erection– Scaffold Users Could Drop Something Onto Other Workers
Below
• Overhead hazards:– Safety nets or fan protection could be erected out past the
edge of the scaffold as protection– Completely board out levels to provide overhead protection– Barricade the risk areas at ground level, where-ever possible– Be aware of the overhead hazards !
Material handling:
Access-ways must be kept clear of obstructions & debris, to avoid tripping hazards
Combustible materials must be segregated
Where materials are being stacked to a height above the toe-board, a brick-guard (or similar paneling) must be fitted upto the top guard-rail
Barricades & signage must be in place
Always use the correct handling procedures
When working near electrical lines, a designated person should be available to ensure the required clearance is kept
• Electrical Hazards:
The most common electrical hazards are:Shocks, burns arc-blasts, fire & explosionsShocks from high voltage lines are the most serious, causing severe burns & death
Burns, usually occur on the hands, as a result ofTouching badly maintained or badly earthed electrical equipment or wiring
• 5m Minimum Distance: • 5m Away & 4m Below Minimum Distance:
Scaffold HazardsScaffold HazardsScaffolding must only be erected, alerted or dismantled by
competent scaffolders. It must be regularly inspected and certified
fit for use.
Always get permission before going onto a scaffold Always check that is certified fit for your intended use.An access scaffold may nit be suitable for load-bearing work.Never use any incomplete or uncertified scaffold. Never make any unauthorized alterations.Never throw materials down from a working platformWhen you work over water, always wear a life jacket or other buoyancy aid. Your life may depend on it.
Scaffold Hazards Scaffold Hazards
• Anyone who is at risk from a fall must be protected by a fall protection system.
• Systems include guard-rails and full body harnesses.
• Guard-rails should be used where-ever possible, if not another method must be used.
• All scaffolders must always wear a full body harness & shock absorbing lanyard when working at heights.
• Suitable anchor points must be used, or lanyards must be fixed to life-lines.
• The scaffold should only be used as an anchor point if no other suitable anchor point is available.
Scaffold HazardsScaffold Hazards
Full body harness
Should fit correctly.Ensure it is adjusted correctly to give maximum protection. (Not loose fitting)Should distribute the shock load evenly through the body, under a fall arrest situation.Fitted with attachment points for lanyards/shock absorbers.
Should be inspected & tested.
FALL PROTECTION EQUIPMENTFALL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
The rear of the full body harness should fit squarely across the shoulders, with the support ring positioned in the middle of the back.
FALL PROTECTION EQUIPMENTFALL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
Lanyard• Used to secure the wearer to a suitable
anchorage point, or life-line.• Should be inspected & tested.
Life-line:
A flexible line that connects to an anchorage point at one end, and is stretched taut to another point to provide a life-line to clip harnesses & lanyards to.
This is usually horizontal, and is often tied between steel-work.
FALL PROTECTION EQUIPMENTFALL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
Shock Absorbing Lanyard
A specially designed lanyard with a built in shock absorber.
Absorber elongates in a fall ,so fall arrest forces are significantly reduced.
DUAL CLIPDUAL CLIP--ON METHODON METHOD
• Some-times there might be An occation when a scaffolder has to climb up or down a scaffold, Although this is not good practice, it some-times happens.On these rare occations, the dual clip-on method is the preffered method.With this method the scaffolder is always clipped on by one of the harnesses clips.
Means of Access:Means of Access:
Access is usually obtained by ladder.
fixed at 2 points, top & bottom.
the ladder must extend past the work platform,
onto the extended guard-rail tube.

Working in Hot Weather Working in Hot Weather
Health Hazards from Hot weather include:
Heat Stroke:Heat Stroke:
This is the most serious hot weather health problem. The victim’s heat control mechanism just stops. The victim has hot, dry skin with a high temperature, chills and mental confusion. If it is not cooled off quickly, the result can be brain damage or even death. Persons with a medical history of heat stroke are likely to get it again under the same conditions.
Heat Exhaustion:Heat Exhaustion:
This is caused by the loss if body fluids from sweating. The victim sweats, but is dizzy of very tiered. Rest and plenty of water usually produces quick recovery to this common heat ailment.
Working in Hot Weather Working in Hot Weather
Heat Cramps:Heat Cramps:
These result from loss of salt in the working muscles, usually as part
of heat exhaustion.
So watch out during a sudden hot spells,
until you get used to the heat.
Acclimatize the first day of hot weather,
until you get used to it.
Drink lots of water.
Be sensible with alcoholic beverages
after work, since the alcohol
dehydrates your system.
FireFireProtection from fire is of vital importance to all employees, lives, jobs, and financial loss.
EVERY EMPLOYEE SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT HE KNOWS WHAT IS EXPECTED OF HIM, IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, BEFORE A FIRE OCCURS.
Learn your emergency procedures. If in any doubt, ask your supervisor NOW.
ALWAYS know your fire instruction. Find out how to sound the alarm and be sure where the fire escapes, emergency exists and muster point stations are.
ALWAYS keep calm in the event of a fire, panic causes disasters.
FireFireALWAYS make certain that you know the position of the fire extinguisher at your place of work, and you that know hoe to operate the.Fuel, Oxygen and Heat will result in fire when they are together in the correct proportions.Fire can be extinguished by any one or any combination of the following:
Removing HeatRemoving OxygenRemoving Fuel
ALWAYS obey all local instructions aimed at preventing fire, forexample the control of smoking and other ignition sources.Fire is a hazard. If you smoke take care. Refrain completely from smoking when in areas where “NO SMOKING” signs are displayed.
