Petroleum production

Petroleum engineering is a field of engineering concerned with the activities related to the production of hydrocarbons, which can be either crude oil or natural gas.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas (predominantly methane, CH4, with some mixture of ethane C2H6f) that has been converted to liquid form for ease of storage or transport.

Liquefied petroleum gas or liquid petroleum gas (LPG or LP gas), also referred to as simply propane or butane, are flammable mixtures of hydrocarbon gases used as fuel in heating appliances, cooking equipment, and vehicles.

In the oil and gas industries, coiled tubing refers to a very long metal pipe, normally 1 to 3.

A gas holder, sometimes called a gasometer, is a large container in which natural gas or town gas is stored near atmospheric pressure at ambient temperatures.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) is the largest U.

The TaskForceMajella (TFM) is an industry-funded geoscientific research project conducted between the years 1998 and 2005.

The Stuart Oil Shale Project is an oil shale development project in Yarwun near Gladstone, Queensland, Australia.

The mousehole is the storage area on a drilling rig where the next joint of drilling pipe is held until needed.

The Fischer–Tropsch process is a collection of chemical reactions that converts a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen into liquid hydrocarbons.

Offshore drilling is a mechanical process where a wellbore is drilled below the seabed.

Colony Shale Oil Project was an oil shale development project at the Piceance Basin near Parachute Creek, Colorado.
