Oil and Gas

The oil and gas industry is a diverse and vital part of the global economy. A wide range of expertise goes into the discovery, production, and distribution of petroleum products, and Petroleum Geology and Drilling plays a central role in the exploration and production process.

This section explains the business side of Petroleum Drilling and Geology: what we do in the industry, the economics of how the industry works, and — yes — why oil and gas drilling are the way they are.

Health and Safety in Oil and Gas Sector
The oil and gas industry has a precarious relationship with safety. Negative PR, such as that surrounding several huge and life-costing pipeline explosions and the like in previous decades have lead to a lot of pressure. For the most parts, there have been improvements.

One of the best ways you can make others feel that safety is important is by making it apparent that you yourself have adopted that attitude. If managers and the higher ups in an operation seem annoyed by the paperwork, time, and procedure associated with safety, his or her employees are not going to think it’s a priority. This is where our focus is in this sector to all our stakeholders.

The Oil and Gas sector is vast and diverse covering all aspects from exploration, drilling, distribution, refining and haulage to storage, involving large multi national oil companies such as Shell, Chevron and indigenous operators like Petroleum and petrochemical.

The Three main area of Oil and Gas can easily be explained Upstream being the beginning of the process and therefore involves all areas of exploration and production (E&P) such processes as oil drilling and oil exploration to Midstream and Downstream that overlap and involve refineries and distributions of products.
