Exploration is split into three operational areas:Petroleum Production is usually split into two operational areas:


Subsurface Exploration


Surface Exploration


Aerospace Exploration


Surface Production



Subsurface Production




 Surface Production is split into three major areas:Subsurface Production is split into three major areas of activities:

Acoustic

Temperature logging

Gamma Gamma

Formation Resisitvity

Neutron logging

Pressure survey

Core

PVT

Outcrops survey

Climate survey

Gravimetry survey

Magnetic survey

Electrical Resitivity survey

Seismic surveys

    • Passive seismic survey
    • 2D seismic survey
    • 3D seismic survey
    • 4D seismic survey

Topography

Optical imaging

Infrared Imaging


Production gathering


Fluid supply and injection


Reservoir Study & Modelling


Well & Reservoir Surveillance


Well & Reservoir Management



The results of the exploration lead to the procedure of Booking Reserves


Routine production operations usually follow Production Strategy which is a part of Field Development Planning
