Our Reliance on Oil is an Addiction


! Oil is necessary to ensure the continuation of life on the planet. ! For instance, we use oil to power farm equipment that provide us with food. ! We use oil to make our vehicles work: motorcycles, cars, trucks, buses, trains, airplanes, ships. ! Oil is also used to make many things we use every day, like the chairs in this lecture hall, the paint on the wall, the plastic and nylon for our clothes and shoes, asphalt on the roads, even cosmetics.

Will we run out of oil in 10 years?


! The current oil reserves (producible with existing technologies) will last for at least 40 years. ! Oil resources (discovered but not included in reserves yet) will still be produced in 100 years. ! New technologies will allow us to find more oil that will be added to existing reserves and resources. ! Oil is increasingly reserved for mobility ! Natural gas complements oil in fixed plants (power plants and heavy industry).

Technology in the Oil & Gas Industry


! The Upstream Oil & Gas Industry uses more computer power than any other industry except the entertainment industry. ! Exploration and production of oil & gas rely heavily on high technology: 3D and 4D seismic, basin analysis, reservoir modelling, smart wells, well logging, reservoir monitoring, etc. ! A large number of technology and service companies focus on developing new technologies for the oil & gas industry.

Introduction to the Oil and Gas Industry & Sustainable Development

The oil and Gas Industry needs brains


! Oil and gas exploration and production are very costly. The very large investments must be justified by intelligent proposals and decisions. !

A Dirty and Polluting Industry


! True in the early 20th century when the environment was not an issue. ! A behavioural turn-around took place in the 60s, along with an increased awareness about our environment. ! Staff hired in the 1970s and 1980s were very much aware of the need to protect the environment and drove their companies to become more environmentally-conscious. ! Drilling for oil and gas involves many technical risks, especially as drilling moves into deeper waters, where everything must be done remotely. Insufficient safety measures may lead to catastrophic accidents.

Oil companies steal natural resources

The Ownership of Oil & Gas


! Until the 50s, the oil produced by oil companies belonged for a large part to them. They paid taxes and royalties to the producing countries. ! In the 60s oil-producing countries nationalized their oil and gas resources. Oil companies received a share of the production. ! Currently, in most countries, natural resources belong to the state. Oil companies are contracted to find and extract oil and gas. Their investment and expertise are paid in kind, a share of production called equity oil or gas, or receive a fee per barrel produced.

Source Rock: Introduction to the Oil and Gas Industry & Sustainable Development Organic-rich Black Shale PCB1012

Source Rock
!A source rock is a rock that is capable of producing hydrocarbons. !requirements for source rocks:
!they need to have a high enough concentration of organic matter and !they should have been heated to a high enough temperature to reach thermal maturation.
Introduction to the Oil and Gas Industry & Sustainable Development
PCB1012

Source Rock Maturation & Petroleum Generation


The earths temperature increases with depth in the earths crust. As organic matter is buried, it is heated and transformed into kerogen, oil and gas. Most oil is produced between temperatures of 60 and 120 degrees C, at a depth range known as the oil window.
Introduction to the Oil and Gas Industry & Sustainable Development
PCB1012

Migration
After petroleum has been generated, it must migrate out of the source rock and into the trap where it will accumulate and form an oil or gas field. Some oils form close to the reservoir and can reach it vertically but in many cases oil migrates laterally over several kilometers before coming to rest in a reservoir. Petroleum migrates as a mixture of oil and gas through water-saturated rocks. In the reservoir these phases separate according to density with the most dense water on the bottom, least dense gas on top and oil between the two.

Reservoir Rock
Reservoir rocks are rocks capable of storing large quantities of oil and gas. They are characterized by
high porosity and effective permeability. Examples of good reservoir rocks are sandstone and limestone.

Aquifers, which are rocks that contain ground water, have the same properties as reservoir rocks with the exception that they contain water rather than petroleum.

Alternative Energy

Biofuels

! Biofuel is a solid, liquid or gas fuel derived from recently dead biological material and is distinguished from fossil fuels, which are derived from long dead biological material. ! Theoretically, biofuels can be produced from any (biological) carbon source; although, the most common sources are photosynthetic plants. ! Biofuels produce at least as much CO2 as fossil fuels. ! Biofuel production competes with food production.

Biofuels

! There are two common strategies for producing biofuels:


!!One is to grow crops high in sugar (sugar cane, sugar beet, and sweet sorghum) or starch (corn/maize), and then use yeast fermentation to produce ethyl alcohol, ethanol (C2H5OH).

Alternative Energy

Biofuels
!!The second is to grow plants that contain high amounts of vegetable oil, such as oil palm, soybean, algae, etc. When these oils are heated, their viscosity is reduced, and they can be burned directly in a diesel engine, or they can be chemically processed to produce fuels such as biodiesel.
