1. Overview of Oil & Gas Sector The following slides are not a tutorial but merely an overview of the various phases involved in an oil & gas development. The major phases are: Exploration (Survey) Drilling (Exploration – Development) Construction (EPIC) Production (Onshore Refinery) *De-commissioning Oil & Gas Sector Overview 1 *Note: This presentation discusses decommissioning of offshore facilities only.

3. EXPLORATION – SEISMIC SURVEYS The Purpose of Seismic Surveys: Seismic surveys are conducted for a variety of reasons. One of the most common uses of seismic data is in connection with the exploration, development, and production of oil & gas reserves to map potential and known hydrocarbon-bearing formations and the geologic structures that surround them. Oil & gas exploration and production is conducted in many places on the earth’s surface, in both the onshore (land) and offshore (marine) domains. In most marine work, the sensor is a hydrophone that detects the pressure fluctuations in the water caused by the reflected sound waves. The cable containing the hydrophones, called a streamer, is towed or ‘streamed’ behind a moving vessel. Oil & Gas Sector Overview 3 Source: International Association of Geophysical Contractors

4. DRILLING Exploration wells are drilled: To find oil or gas; To find a new reservoir in a known field; To extend the limit of a known oil or gas reservoir. Appraisal wells: Appraisal wells * are drilled after the discovery of oil or gas to establish the limits of the reservoir, the productivity of wells in it and the properties of the oil or gas. If promising amounts of oil or gas are confirmed during the exploration phase, field appraisal is used to establish the size and characteristics of the discovery and to provide technical information to determine the optimum method for recovery of the oil and gas. * Also known as ‘development’ wells.

5. DEVELOPMENT PLANNING Development Planning If appraisal wells show the reservoir to be technically and commercially viable, the Oil Company will produce a development plan which will be submitted to the relevant authorities. This development plan will include an assessment of potential risks and long term environmental impacts. The plan should also detail projected benefits to local communities (e.g. employment and trade opportunities), as well as proposing how other potential impacts will be managed (e.g. transportation of heavy materials and equipment and an incursion of workers from outside the local community).
