New Field Development
New oil and gas field development is a complex and multifaceted process that involves the exploration, evaluation, and extraction of hydrocarbon reserves from untapped subsurface reservoirs. It encompasses a range of interdisciplinary activities, from geological surveys and seismic assessments to drilling operations, infrastructure construction, and environmental considerations. The process begins with geological studies and seismic surveys to identify potential reservoirs, followed by detailed analyses of rock properties, fluid content, and pressure dynamics to estimate the size and viability of the reserves. Once a promising site is identified, drilling operations commence, often utilizing advanced drilling techniques like horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access reservoirs that were previously inaccessible.
