SAP FOR OIL AND GAS

SAP has developed an industry solution for the oil and gas industry (IS-OIL), featuring tools and automated processes designed especially for this sector. SAP IS-OIL is the leading integrated solution for the entire value-added chain of the oil and gas industry-from the wellhead to the gas station. With SAP IS-OIL, you can provide your employees with uniform process and tools that make their day-to-day activities easier. Your other sites and applications are easily integrated into IS-OIL. The solution also gives you access to Web-enabled e-business applications and information.

industry

The oil industry is divided into two major sectors. The sectors are defined to categorize the operations within each.

Upstream: Exploration & Production or E&P. Involves operations in searching for underground or underwater oil and gas tildes and drilling exploratory wells and at the same time, operating the wells that recover to re-direct the crude oil or raw natural gas to the surface.

Downstream: Includes operations that processes and stores, markets and transports crude oil, natural gas liquids like ethane, butane and propane.

The downstream sector includes:

• aIl oils refineries and petrochemical plants,
• petroIeum product distribution via the afhliated retail outlets
• and natural gas distribution companies, within the operations.

The downstream industry markets products such as petrol and diesel and jet fuel, asphalt, lubricants, plastics fertilizers, antifreezes and even pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

Life cycle of processing of oil field consists of 5 stages:

• Exploration
• Appraisal
• Development
• Production
• Abandonment
• Exploration is about finding oil and gas fields. Main goal is toidentify and deliver commercially viable field development opportunities. The following geological and geophysical (G & G) activities would take place:
• Conduct seismic surveys
• Process and interpret the seismic data and map the potential resenroir
• select exploration well locations
• drill and evaluate exploration well data:
• core analysis to establish porosity and permeability
• logging data to determine porosity, water and hydrocarbon saturation
• production test data to determine flow rates and maximum production potential
• PVT to allow reservoir fluid analysis and ascertain oil/gas quality and the shrinkage or expansion factor
• build a computer model of the reservoir and identify and where possible remove major uncertainties by further data analysis, seismic reprocessing etc
