Oil & Gas Sector

The oil and gas industry is a crucial sector of the global economy, responsible for the exploration, extraction, refining, transportation, and marketing of petroleum products. It encompasses both upstream activities (exploration and production) and downstream activities (refining, distribution, and sales).


Core Components of the Oil and Gas Sector:

Upstream (Exploration and Production)

Focuses on locating natural gas fields and crude oil reserves in underwater and underground areas.
Involves drilling exploratory wells and managing wells to extract and bring crude oil or raw natural gas to the surface.

Midstream

Emphasizes on the transportation, storage, and wholesale marketing of crude and refined petroleum products.
Encompasses the infrastructure for pipelines, shipping, rail, and trucking logistics.

Downstream

Involves the refining of crude oil, processing and purification of raw natural gas, and the marketing and distribution of products derived from these resources..
Products include gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, heating oil, asphalt, lubricants, and a range of petrochemicals.
