This year, 2015, is one of the toughest years in oil and gas industry because oil price drastically drops than anybody can imagine. We wish in 2016 this will be a great year for us. We create a calendar for 2016 that you can download for free. Each image has 1600 pixels in width and 1200 pixels in height.
We wish you would enjoy our special oilfield calendar 2016. Please feel free to share with your friends, colleges, family members, etc.
We are working in oil and gas industry and many times we see many media, NGO’s, people want to ban oil forever. They make themselves look like heroes when they want to save the earth. However, this is totally impractical as you know. The Oil and Gas Industry is one of the biggest businesses in the world and without oil and gas industry many businesses will not be able to operate. People are a consumer of oil & gas both direct and indirect way, so we are relying on this industry.
If you meet people who think oil and gas is a bad business for them so you need to tell them to stop using oil and any related products. It is very simple! Following are few easy steps which you can show them in order to stop Oil & Gas industry and make positive impact on the climate change. Continue reading
Oil and gas that we are drilling today comes from a biogenic origin and it is formed with proper time and temperature. Organic matter is one of the most important parts of hydrocarbon generation. This topic will give you an overview of how organic matter will be transformed to hydrocarbon.
Starting with plants and algae, take carbon (CO2) from the atmosphere and process it to form glucose and this starting process is called photosynthesis. Glucose is transformed into more complex organic compounds. Trees, for example will grow bigger because they use photosynthesis to convert into energy. When animals and trees die, the organic matter is typically oxidized and this will create CO2 and put water back into environment again. However, in some situations when organic matter is buried quickly in areas where there is no oxygen, the organic matter may be preserved. If the organic matters are buried in proper conditions, petroleum may be formed. Continue reading
Geological time scales help us to know the age of formations and three types of time scales are relative, absolute time and magnetic polarity scales. Relative time scale relates to an order in which a specific rock sequence occurs, but absolute time is an actual time that is derived from the chemical half-life of minerals in rocks. Magnetic polarity uses a concept of magnetic sequences to age the rocks.
IOM3 (The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining) share another good presentation about upstream oil and gas overview. This is an excellent document which will help people understand more about oil and gas industry. It may be too basic for someone; however, if you read it, there will be some parts that you may not know before. Furthermore, you can use this slide to educate new people or others from different disciplines.
