Petroleum industry structure
 Upstream  exploration and
production sector: collecting
data and drilling wells
 Midstream- transportation of raw
petroleum to refineries, typically
by pipeline, rail, barge, tanker,
truck, etc..
 Downstream  the refining,
processing, marketing, and
distribution of refined petroleum
products
Source: API
Service company vs. Operator
Service companies: companies
which provide technical services to
operating companies, but do not
own the hydrocarbons that are
produced
 Examples: Baker Hughes,
Cameron, CGG, Core Lab,
Fugro, Halliburton, ION
Geophysical, National
Oilwell Varco, PGS,
Schlumberger, Spectrum,
Technip, Transocean,
Weatherford, etc.
 Examples: BP, Chevron,
ExxonMobil, Shell,
ConocoPhillips, Anadarko,
Apache, Devon, Hess,
Occidental Petroleum,
Noble Energy, Marathon,
Southwestern, EOG, etc..
Operators (exploration and
production companies):
companies that decide where and
how to drill for hydrocarbons, and
own the rights once produced
Types of service companies
 Diversified: Schlumberger, Halliburton, Weatherford,
Baker Hughes
 Equipment: National Oilwell Varco, Cameron
 Seismic acquisition: ION, CGG, Spectrum, TGS, PGS
 Drilling rigs: Transocean, Noble Corporation, Hercules
Offshore, Nabors Industries
Types of exploration and production companies
 Integrated/Supermajors (upstream and downstream):
BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, Total
 Exploration and Production/Independents (just
upstream): ConocoPhillips, Anadarko, Apache, Noble
Energy, EOG Resources, Marathon Oil, Hess
Corporation, etc..
 National Oil Companies (NOC): Ecopetrol, Gazprom,
PEMEX, Petrobras, Petronas, PDVSA, Rosneft, Sinopec,
Sonangol
Very-generalized exploration and
production workflow
E&P company interprets data and
determines a location to drill
(geologists and geophysicists:
MS, PhD)
Service companies drill the
well and record technical
data (engineers, geologists,
geophysicists: BS, MS, PhD)
If large enough reserves are
proven, field development begins
(engineers, geologists,
geophysicists: MS, PhD)
Production facilities, pipelines,
storage facilities, and
transportation are installed
(Engineers)
E&P company leases land
from the government
(landmen)
Seismic acquisition company
records seismic data over area of
interest (geophysicists: MS, PhD)
