Upstream- Exploration & Production

Upstream- Exploration & Production

Hydrocarbon formed when dead sea

organisms (plankton/algae) are buried under

sedimentary rock, exposed to intense

heat/pressure.

Key Properties:

•API Gravity – heavy (< 30) or light (> 30) % of

the hydrocarbon molecule in part determines

value $.

•Sulfur Content – Sweet (<0.5%) or Sour

(>0.5%, typically over (1.0% - 2.5% range),

determines ease of refinery processes or

potential for corrosion, hence effects the value

of the barrel.

Midstream – Gathering/Processing

• Cushing, OK holds approx. 12% of USA

crude oil supply, or 80 million barrels

within 14 terminals.

• WTI (West Texas Intermediate) is the

USA benchmark traded crude vs.. Brent

from the North Sea.
