hydrocarbon:
A naturally occurring organic
compound comprising hydrogen
and carbon Hydrocarbons can be
as simple as methane [CH4], but
many are highly complex
molecules, and can occur as gases,
liquids or solids The molecules
can have the shape of chains,
branching chains, rings or other
structures Petroleum is a
complex mixture of hydrocarbons
The most common hydrocarbons
are natural gas, oil and coal

crude oil:
Crude oil is an organic liquid substance often found below the
Earth’s surface It is made up of thousands of molecules
composed of different hydrogen and carbon atoms Such compounds are called hydrocarbons.
These hydrocarbons also contain different proportions of
impurities like oxygen, sulphur, nitrogen and heavy metal atoms

Trang 7Definitions and terminology
petroleum:
The word ‘petroleum’ is derived from the Latin petra (which
means rock) and oleum (which means oil) It is commonly used
to refer to crude oil, but it may also refer to other related
hydrocarbons
Some hydrocarbons are gaseous, rather than liquid Methane is
the most common example of these hydrocarbon gases This is
the kind of natural gas that we most often use in our kitchens at
home

stock tank barrel:
A measure of the volume of treated oil stored in stock tanks A
stock tank barrel is commonly abbreviated as STB.
1 Barrel [US, Oil] = 158.987295 Liters
1 Barrel [Oil] = 42 Gallons [US, Oil]

API gravity:
A specific gravity scale developed by the American Petroleum
Institute (API) for measuring the relative density of various
petroleum liquids, expressed in degrees API gravity is gradated
in degrees on a hydrometer instrument and was designed so that most values would fall between 10° and 70° API gravity The arbitrary formula used to obtain this effect is:
Trang 12Definitions and terminology
Crude oil can be classified as either light or heavy depending on its API gravity (or density) Generally, the higher its API gravity, the lower its density
light oil:
Oil that is lighter in colour, has a thin consistency and flows easily usually contains less metals and sulphur compounds.
heavy oil:
Oil that is high in metal and sulphur content is considered
low-grade oil It generally has too much carbon, not enough
hydrogen and is more timeconsuming to produce and hard to refine

Crude oil can also be classified as either sour or sweet,
depending on the amount of sulphur it contains.
Trang 15Definitions and terminology
Reference crude oil:
Some common crude oil types are used as a reference or benchmark to determine the value of other crude oils Some of these reference crude oils are:
Brent Blend
A blend of several crude oils from fields in the North Sea region, located above Germany and the United Kingdom The price of oil produced in Africa, Europe and the Middle East tends to be based
on this oil

Trang 25The role of petroleum industry
Crude oil is a central part of modern life and the world’s most important energy resource We rely on it in many ways for the food we eat, the clothes we wear and the electronics we use at home and in the workplace Without oil, we would not be able to continue to enjoy the same standard of living

Trang 27The role of petroleum industry
Oil is, in fact, the world’s most important transportation fuel
About 90% of all transportation fuels come from crude oil.
Oil is also used to make medicines, plastics and cleaning
products Modern life as we know it today would be impossible
without oil and its products Many of the everyday items people use are either made from oil or are dependent on oil for their production
Some of these products include heating oil, jet fuel, kerosene, dentures, diapers, fertilizers, lipstick, shampoo, deodorant, shaving cream, crayons, musical devices, cameras, computers, glue, contact lenses, toothpaste, synthetic fibres, tires, artificial hearts and even aspirin

Decide what regions of the world are of interest.
Evaluating the technical, political, economic, social and environmental aspects of regions under consideration
Some 90% of the world’s oil and gas reserves are owned and
operated by National Oil Companies (NOCs), such as Saudi
Aramco (Saudi Arabia), Petronas (Malaysia), Pemex (Mexico)
34
Introduction to Petroleum Engineering
Trang 35Exploration Phase
Despite such improvements, exploration remains a high-risk
activity.
Traditionally, investments in exploration are made many years
before there is any opportunity of producing the oil
35

Trang 36Exploration Phase
36
Introduction to Petroleum Engineering
Trang 37Appraisal Phase
Once an exploration well has encountered hydrocarbons,
considerable effort will still be required to accurately assess the
potential of the find The amount of data acquired so far does
not yet provide a precise picture of the size, shape and producibility of the accumulation
In the second case, the purpose of appraisal is therefore to
reduce the uncertainties.
Having defined and gathered data adequate for an initial
reserves estimation, the next step is to look at the various options to develop the field The objective of the feasibility study is to document various technical options, of which at least
one should be economically viable.
37
Introduction to Petroleum Engineering
Trang 38Development Planning
Based on the results of the feasibility study, and assuming that at
least one option is economically viable, a field development plan
(FDP) can now be formulated and subsequently executed.
38
Introduction to Petroleum Engineering
Trang 39Development Planning
The FDP’s prime purpose is to serve as a conceptual project
specification for subsurface and surface facilities, and the
operational and maintenance philosophy required to support a
proposal for the required investments In particular, it should include
• objectives of the development
• petroleum engineering data
• operating and maintenance principles
• description of engineering facilities
• cost and manpower estimates
Trang 40Production Phase
The production phase commences with the first commercial
quantities of hydrocarbons (first oil) flowing through the
wellhead
Development planning and production are usually based on the expected production profile which depends strongly on the
mechanism providing the driving force in the reservoir The
production profile will determine the facilities required and the number and phasing of wells to be drilled The production profile
is characterised by three phases:
40
Introduction to Petroleum Engineering
Trang 41Production Phase
41
Introduction to Petroleum Engineering
1 Build-up period During this period newly drilled
producers are progressively brought on stream
2 Plateau period Initially new wells may still be brought on
stream but the older wells start to decline Production facilities are running
at full capacity, and a constant production rate is maintained This period is typically 2–5 years for an oil field, but longer for a gas field
3 Decline period During this final (and usually longest)
period, all producers will exhibit declining production
Trang 42The economic lifetime of a project normally terminates once its
net cash flow turns permanently negative, at which moment
the field is decommissioned
Most companies have at least two ways in which to defer the decommissioning of a field or installation:
(a) reduce the operating costs, or
(b) increase hydrocarbon throughput

Drake Well is the birth of petroleum industry
The White Tiger oilfield is a major oil field of Vietnam
Crude oil is a central part of modern life and the world’s most important energy resource
Each activity in field development is driven by a business need related to that particular phase
