Flaring a flow test, the first outward indication of a new oil or gas discovery, which has the potential to qualify for reserves assessment. Oil and gas reserves denote discovered quantities of crude oil and natural gas (oil or gas fields) that can be profitably produced/recovered from an approved development. Oil and gas reserves tied to ...
Detailed results from allocation to wells, or even to oil or gas layers per well, are used to manage the production process. Results from the allocation process are important feed into production reporting to governments and partners, and allocation results may also feed operator's internal systems for product sales, accounting , enterprise ...
