A more conceptual phase than the actual FEED phase, which could for instance examine both offshore and onshore solutions and a final solution will be selected during the pre-FEED phase, technological appraisals and recommendations for the full FEED
Petroleum in place is the total quantity of petroleum that is estimated to exist originally in naturally occurring reservoirs. Oil-in-place, gas-in-place, bitumen-in-place are defined in the same manner
Gas consumed in the operation of pipelines, primarily in compressors
System used to assist propelling a pig into a flowline for use in cleaning a subsea flowline. Equipment designed to launch and receive pigs
A field that satisfies all the criteria for reserves and there is a firm intent to develop the field, but detailed development planning and/or necessary approvals / contracts have not yet been finalized
A complex mixture of naturally occurring hydrocarbon compounds found in rock. Petroleum can range from solid to gas, but the term is generally used to refer to liquid crude oil. The main petroleum products, their usages and their main characteristics are: LPG (heating – pressure, ability to burn as gas); benzene (cars – octane number), naphtha (industry – boiling range), jet fuel (planes – freezing point -47 degrees Celsius), gasoil (trucks – cold characteristics), oil (engine oils – viscosity), diesel (power stations – viscosity), bitumen (roads – stickiness and elasticity)
Depleted well or dry hole that has been (typically) filled with cement and marked, with all surface equipment removed.
Rocks containing petroleum
Gas under enough pressure to enter the high-pressure gas lines of a purchaser; gas in which enough liquid hydrocarbons have been removed so that such liquids will not condense in the transmission lines
