Petroleum makes up for 40% of total energy consumption in the US and about 90% of the world's vehicular fuel needs are met by oil. Petroleum's worth as a portable, dense energy source powering the vast majority of vehicles and as the base of many industrial chemicals makes it one of the world's most important commodities. The top three oil producing countries are Saudi Arabia, Russia, and the US. This is an accessible text for professionals and students of all levels.
The steps that lead to the production of oil and gas are diverse, complex and costly. They are diverse because the detection of oil and gas involves input from many specialties, ranging from geology to reservoir engineering. They are complex, as shown by the development of the job of the petroleum architect, who coordinates all the operations. They are costly, as the investments for exploration and production represent more than half of all investments in the oil and gas sector. Moreover, exploration is a risky activity, both from the technical and financial viewpoint: only one well in five produces marketable oil. Meanwhile, the areas for exploration and production are spread throughout the world.
This book is designed to provide readers with a broad background and firm foundation to gain advanced knowledge in the field. In depth discussions of new research on drilling techniques, as well as emerging equipment used in oil extraction and the industry are presented here. Career opportunities for graduates in this field have also been included. This book attempts to compile current and ongoing research on petroleum technologies that can shed light on various areas.

"I discussed issues related to mineral rights and the oil and gas industry many times in my twelve years in the House of Commons. Now after reading this book I wish I could have those discussions over again. I would present the issues with much more confidence and accuracy. Upstream is easy to understand and loaded with important facts." - Randy White, former Member of Parliament "Understanding an industry requires that one learn its language. In the context of the oil and gas industry, Ms. Louie has authored a valuable immersion experience." - Sean E.D. Fairhurst, Partner, MacPherson Leslie & Tyerman LLP * In Upstream: Oil and Gas Exploration and Production, industry expert Levonne Louie simplifies and demystifies this area of the oil and gas sector for readers in Canada and beyond. In her straightforward, easy-to-follow guide, Louie presents an overview of the fundamental and essential components of what is known as the upstream part of the industry and how exploration for oil and natural gas is done and how the products are produced. An experienced consultant, author and speaker, Levonne Louie addresses complex questions with ease and a penchant for the plain and simple - from how geologists decide where to focus the exploration, to the acquisition of mineral and surface rights, to how production of oil and gas occurs and the impact of global factors on the industry. Building on the success of her first book - Mineral Land Rights: What You Need to Know - Oil and Gas Exploration and Production is an indispensable guide for everyday readers and industry members alike. * Levonne Louie has been an oil and gas industry professional for over thirty-six years. She has experience in negotiation, government relations, business development, strategy development and coaching. She aims to demystify the oil and gas industry so that there is better understanding between all parties. She lives in Calgary, Alberta, where she works, teaches, consults and serves on several boards.
