Book Description
This book presents detailed explanations of how to formulate field development plans for oil and gas discovery. The data and case studies provided here, obtained from the authors’ field experience in the oil and gas industry around the globe, offer a real-world context for the theories and procedures discussed. The book covers all aspects of field development plan processes, from reserve estimations to economic analyses. It shows readers in both the oil and gas industry and in academia how to prepare field development plans in a straightforward way, and with substantially less uncertainty.

Book Description
This book is an introduction to oil and gas designed to be both accessible to absolute beginners who know nothing about the subject, and at the same time interesting to people who work in one area (such as drilling or seismic exploration) and would like to know about other areas (such as production offshore, or how oil and gas were formed, or what can go wrong).It begins by discussing oil and gas in the broader context of human society, and goes on to examine what they consist of, how and where they were formed, how we find them, how we drill for them and how we measure them. It describes production onshore and offshore, and examines in detail some instructive mishaps, including some that are well known, such as Deepwater Horizon and Piper Alpha, and other lesser known incidents. It looks at recent developments, such as shale oil, and concludes with some speculation about the future. It includes many references for readers who would like to read further. Mathematical content is minimal.

Book Description
This book covers well testing methods included the latest developments in the field. It explains classic topics in depth, in depth such as layered reservoirs, naturally fractured reservoirs, and wellbore effects, and also newer developments, such as well testing for horizontal wells. This book is perfect reference for junior and senior reservoir, production, and geology engineers, who want to improve their knowledge of well test analysis and current best practices. The book is a valuable addition to any reservoir and production engineer's library.

Book Description
Excerpt from One for You, Three for Me: Or the Design of Optimal Production Sharing Rules for a Petroleum Exploration Venture The remainder of the paper proceeds as follows. In section 2 we analyze the oil exploration project using traditional capital budgeting techniques and we calculate the first best exploration and development decisions. In section 3 we fit the oil exploration contract problem to the grossman-hart Principal Agent model and in section 4 we present the derived optimal sharing rule. In section 5 we calculate the sharing rule that is implicit in the actual contract, and we compare it with the optimal sharing rule. In section 6 we discuss the results and some problems raised by the analysis. Section 7 concludes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
In all the industries in which I do management consulting, each manager considers his own industry to be truly "unique. " Of course, each is different in some respects, and each has its own quirks and features. However, the similarities among in dustries far outweigh the differences. The critical dynamics and the management issues have a great deal in common. However, there are, I believe, two industries (or segments of industries) that have an important critical uniqueness that does distinguish them from the rest. One of these is the exploration for undiscovered natural resources, notably for oil and gas; the other is research. In these two in dustry segments, the competition is not nearly so much one firm against another as it is each firm against "nature," or-if you prefer-against the unknown. This uniqueness not only sets these two industry segments apart from the rest, it also helps us to see what they have in common with each other: - Pure scientific talent, ability, and genius have direct commercial value. - We do not have the zero sum game of competition in the market place. A discovery by one firm does not usually perceptably lessen the opportunity of a "competitor" for a discovery. On the contrary, a discovery by one firm usually increases the knowledge of the whole industry, increasing com petitors' opportunity for discovery. - We see the source of continuing life for the rest of the firm.
