Petroleum industry structure Upstream – exploration and production sector: collecting data and drilling wells Midstream-transportation of raw petroleum to refineries, typically by pipeline, rail, barge, tanker, truck, etc.. Downstream– the refining, processing, marketing, and distribution of refined petroleum products Source: API
Service company vs. Operator Service companies: companies which provide technical services to operating companies, but do not own the hydrocarbons that are produced Examples: BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, ConocoPhillips, Anadarko, Apache, Devon, Hess, Occidental Petroleum, Noble Energy, Marathon, Southwestern, EOG, etc.. Operators (exploration and production companies): companies that decide where and how to drill for hydrocarbons, and own the rights once produced • Examples: Baker Hughes, Cameron, CGG, Core Lab, Fugro, Halliburton, ION Geophysical, National Oilwell Varco, PGS, Schlumberger, Spectrum, Technip, Transocean, Weatherford, etc.
Types of service companies • Diversified: Schlumberger, Halliburton, Weatherford, Baker Hughes • Equipment: National Oilwell Varco, Cameron • Seismic acquisition: ION, CGG, Spectrum, TGS, PGS • Drilling rigs: Transocean, Noble Corporation, Hercules Offshore, Nabors Industries
Types of exploration and production companies • Integrated/Supermajors (upstream and downstream): BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, Total • Exploration and Production/Independents (just upstream): ConocoPhillips, Anadarko, Apache, Noble Energy, EOG Resources, Marathon Oil, Hess Corporation, etc.. • National Oil Companies (NOC): Ecopetrol, Gazprom, PEMEX, Petrobras, Petronas, PDVSA, Rosneft, Sinopec, Sonangol
Very-generalized exploration and production workflow Seismic acquisition company records seismic data over area of interest (geophysicists: MS, PhD) E&P company leases land from the government (landmen) E&P company interprets data and determines a location to drill (geologists and geophysicists: MS, PhD) Service companies drill the well and record technical data (engineers, geologists, geophysicists: BS, MS, PhD) If large enough reserves are proven, field development begins (engineers, geologists, geophysicists: MS, PhD) Production facilities, pipelines, storage facilities, and transportation are installed (Engineers)
