Field Appraisal

I ntroduction to Petroleum Engineer ing

Year 2012 - 2013

When exploratory drilling is successful, more wells are drilled todetermine the size and the extent of the field.

Wells drilled to quantify the resources found are called outstep or

appraisal wells.

The appraisal stage aims at:

Evaluating the size and nature of the reservoir

Determining the number of appraisal wells required

Determining whether more seismic work is required.

The technical procedures in appraisal drilling are the same as thoseemployed in exploratory drilling.

Field Development

I ntroduction to Petroleum Engineer ing

Year 2012 - 2013

Oil and gas projects develop from initial Prospect status into committedinvestment.

Field Development demands adaptable, quick-thinking, multi-skilled engineers andscientist supported by the most advanced tools and methodologies.

Field Development covers a wide range of options from single well with earlyproduction facilities to a complex multi-well, multi-facility development and fromsmall sub-sea tiebacks to large scale deep water development.

Key skills for total field development are:

Subsurface including geology, geophysics, petrophysics and reservoir engineering. Well design and production technology

Flow assurance and production chemistry

Subsea and pipeline design

Facilities and structure design

Environmental impact

Technical safety and risk management Cost estimation and scheduling

Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO)

A Floating Production,

Storage and Offloading

vessel is a type of floating

tank system used by the

offshore oil and gas industry

and designed to take all of

the oil or gas produced from

nearby platforms or

templates, process it, andstore it until the oil or gas

can be offloaded onto a

tanker or transported

through a pipeline.

Development concepts are examined against: technical, commercial,operational, safety, and environmental performance goals to ensure: Robustness during start-up, normal operations, and shutdowns (including planned and un-

planned activities)

Benchmarking against industry experience.
