offshore oil and gas

offshore oil and gas

offshore oil and gas

(OP)
Dear members
I am on the look out for some information and links related to the following:
1) How oil and gas are formed at offshore
2) How oil and gas fields are identified and tapped? what are the techniques ( like seismology etc)
3) typical process flow diagram for an oil and gas offshore platform

Any related links or articles will be highly appreciated

Regards

SK
 
 

 

RE: offshore oil and gas

It's a book:

Angus Mather, "Offshore Engineering - An Introduction", Published by Witherby & Company LTD, ISBN 1 85609 078 7, (1995).

Your first two items are described briefly, the third item is described in some depth.

RE: offshore oil and gas

Much depends on the level of information you need.

Visit the oil company web sites. Many provide a range of useful educational material. Otherwise, write and ask them. This will give you a wide range of material of complexity covering school education of all ages, and up.

Also, visit Schlumberger. They produce a nice multi-media presentation of formation, exploration etc.
You may have to ask them for this. In fact i would sugggest these educational packs are probably available from most major companies.

Go to the "How Things Work" web site. Some of the articles here are very full i.e. not dumbed down.

RE: offshore oil and gas

SK,

I am afraid I can't help you, other than by advising you to look at websites of (University) libraries. They may send you requested pages as a PDF file or as a hardcopy by mail(at a cost). For the Angus Mather book, pages of interest are: 101-130 (Oil and Gas Production), 149-180 (Drilling), 181-195) (The Well - Component Parts).

Good luck!

Also try Amazon.  I've bought several guidebooks @ 60% off the "official" price.  They were used, but in excellent condition.
