Upstream Process and Midstream Process

Submit Abstract Register Now

The upstream section surrounds the field related to observing, recovering and producing crude oil and natural gas hence it is also known as Exploration and Production (E&P) sector. Upstream is the first progressive step in the oil industry. These activities are all about wells: where to detect them; how deep and how far to drill them; and how to outline, employ, operate and manage them to deliver the greatest possible return on investment with the brightest, safest and shortest operational footmark.

A second progressive part in Oil and Gas Industry is the Midstream Processes which provides the link between natural gas being produced at a source and then fulfilling society’s need for energy and by-products. The midstream segment surrounds facilities and processes that sit between the upstream and downstream segments. Activities include processing, storage and transportation, End Developers and Operators, Fire Protection and Emergency Response and Crude Oil Exports.
