A petroleum reservoir or oil and gas reservoir is a subsurface accumulation of hydrocarbons contained in porous or fractured rock formations. Such reservoirs form when kerogen (ancient plant matter) is created in surrounding rock by the presence of high heat and pressure in the Earth's crust. Reservoirs are broadly classified as conventional ...
The steam to oil ratio is a measure of the water and energy consumption related to oil production in cyclic steam stimulation and steam assisted gravity drainage oil production. SOR is the ratio of unit of steam required to produce unit of Oil. The typical values are three to eight and two to five respectively. This means two to eight barrels ...
Petrel is a software platform by Schlumberger Information Solutions used in the exploration and production sector of the petroleum industry. It is a cloud-based platform designed to develop collaborative workflows to increase oil and gas performance. It uses Esri's projection engine for CRS management and is compatible with ArcGIS files.
In modern terms, the first log was a resistivity log that could be described as 3.5-meter upside-down lateral log. [ 4 ] In 1931, Henri George Doll and G. Dechatre, working for Schlumberger, discovered that the galvanometer wiggled even when no current was being passed through the logging cables down in the well.
Upward continuation. Upward continuation is a method used in oil exploration and geophysics to estimate the values of a gravitational or magnetic field by using measurements at a lower elevation and extrapolating upward, assuming continuity. This technique is commonly used to merge different measurements to a common level so as to reduce ...
