  1. Package 1 Origin, Deposition Mechanisms, Exploration and Occurence of Crude Oil and Natural Gas Reservoir Engineering, Forecasts, Deep Drilling and Production Engineering Composition and Classification of Crude Oil and Natural Gas Transportation and Storage of Crude Oil and Natural Gas

  2. Definition • Crude oil is the name given to all organic compounds which are liquid under reservoir conditions. • Petroleum composition: - hydrocarbons -S, O, N, P compounds -metal compounds (V, Ni, Cu, Co, Mo, Pb, Cr, As) H2S and water Elementary composition: C 79,5-88,5%, H 10-15,5%

  3. Constituents of petroleum • Alkanes • Naphtenes • Aromatics

  4. Classification of crude oils • Paraffin based -found in deeper zones • Naphtene or asphalt based –found in upper level • Mixed-based –found in middle zones • Composition on worldwide basis: • ~30% paraffins, 40% naphtenes, 25% aromatics

  5. Natural Gas • Dry and wet natural gases • Components: methane, higher hydrocarbons, nitrogen, carbondioxid, hydrogen sulfide, helium • Associated gas, closely connected to crude oil • Natural gas---non-associated

  6. Formation of crude oilpredominantly of organic origin • Petroleum source rock-deposits in sedimentary basin contain organic residues of terrestrial, limnic, fluvial and marine origin-conversion under anaerobic conditions-resulting in bitumen or kerogen • Source rock should contain 0,5% TOC • Anoxic zones: nonmarine lakess (lake Tanganyika), closed inland seas with positive water balance (Black Sea deep zones), ascent of marine current from greater depths (Benguela current Africa, Humboldt current, Peru), open ocean (global climatic warming with large transgressions in Jurassic and middle Cretaceous period) • Crude oil formation from phytoplankton, bacteria-in the Silurian—Devonian period • Formation: organic material in sapropels is decomposed, decayed by anaerobic bacteria, organic material adsorbed onto fine clay particles, which sink to the sea floor. Sedimentation condition in Pliocene were similar to that of novadays in the offshore regions of the sea.

  7. Hydrocarbon formationDiagenesis, Catagenesis, (at depths of 1000-5000 m and 175 oC) Metagenesis

  8. Migration of oil dropletsfrom argillaceous source rocks into porous reservoir rocks • Lateral migration through capillary paths • Vertical migration- fine fissures • During migration occurs separation from water, gravitational separation: gas-oil-water • Chemical degradation leads to smaller and more stable compounds • Maturation process concludes with the conversion to methane

  9. Reservoir rocks and trap structures Fluvial sand, Beach and barrier sand, Wind-blown sand, Marine platform sand Deep water sand, Reefs, Reef limestone debris, Chalk

  12. Production and reserves

  13. Oil explorationpreliminary exploration, exploratory wells • Geological exploration • Satellite images • Examination of rock samples • Stratigraphic investigations • Geophysical investigation • Magnetic measurements • Gravimetric measurements • Geoelectric measurements • Seismic methods • Refraction Reflection methods 3D method • Geochemical investigation • Exploratory drilling

  14. The entire exploration-to-production chain was reviewed and adapted to greater water depths: • The development and use of (3D) seismic was intensified. • Innovative drilling and production structures were designed. Because these structures could not be installed on the seabed at such great depths, FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) and TLP (Tension Leg Platform) systems were developed. • Efforts were made to come up with new materials for the flexibles (able to withstand high pressures at great water depths, etc.). • Horizontal and multibranch wells came into general use, reducing the number of wells.

  15. Estimated proved crude oil reserves in the world (A)

  16. Liquid petroleum consumed in the United States during the past 50 years came from three sources

  17. Main parameters for Conventional oil

  18. Peak Oil. It truly is a turning point for mankind • Conventional oil - and that will be defined - provides most of the oil produced today, and is responsible for about 95% all oil that has been produced so far. • It will continue to dominate supply for a long time to come. It is what matters most. • Its discovery peaked in the 1960s. We now find one barrel for every four we consume. • Middle East share of production is set to rise. The rest of the world peaked in 1997, and is therefore in terminal decline. • Non-conventional oil delays peak only a few years, but will ameliorate the subsequent decline. • Gas, which is less depleted than oil, will likely peak around 2020. • Capacity limits were breached late in 2000, causing prices to soar leading to world recession. • The recession may be permanent because any recovery would lead to new oil demand until the limits were again breached which would lead to new price shocks re-imposing recession in a vicious circle. • World peak may prove to have been passed in 2000, if demand is curtailed by recession. • Prices may remain weak in such circumstances but since demand is not infinitely elastic they must again rise from supply constraints when essential needs are affected

  21. Conclusion about reserves • Peak oil is a turning point for Mankind, when a hundred years of easy growth ends. The population may be about to peak too for not unrelated reasons. The transition to decline is a period of great tension when priorities shift to self-sufficiency and sustainability. It may end up a better world, freed from the widespread gross excesses of to-day.

  22. Reservoir engineering • Porosity • Physical properties of the pore saturating fluids: density, compressibility, viscosity • Reserves = Resources x Recovery factor • Multiphase flow • Recovery factors: microscopic, areal, vertical
