SHARING THE RISKS: THE ASSOCIATIONS
In order to share the risks associated to the petroleum industry, oil companies rarely enter alone into a petroleum contract
Most of time, they enter/create an association, each of them with a given share percentage of the business
Among the associates, ONE is responsible to conduct all activities under the contract terms, on behalf of the association: it is the OPERATOR
The costs and revenues are split according to the percentage of each partner in the association.
The rights & obligations of Partners & Operator are defined in the JOA (Joint Operating Agreement)

PHASES DEFINITIONS (1)
Exploration phase
Upstream part of the overall process
Mainly involves seismic data acquisition and drilling wells
Statistically, only 1 to 3 wells out of 10 are successful
The exploration phase ends after a discovery has been made
After a discovery, studies are performed to evaluate its commercial potential
Appraisal phase
Once hydrocarbons have been discovered, appraisal works are often necessary before the decision to develop can be made :
To reduce uncertainties
To provide sufficient data for development studies
18
PHASES DEFINITIONS (2)
Development phase
Includes all activities following exploration and initial appraisal phases until production start-up. It covers mainly :
Development studies & Preparation for the decision to develop
Engineering, fabrication and installation of facilities
Commissioning (=Tests before production start-up)
Production phase
Includes all activities to ensure safe and reliable oil/gas production It covers mainly:
Start-up of wells, plant and facilities
Operating, control and monitoring of facilities
Inspection, maintenance and repairs
Commercial & fiscal metering and reporting
Reservoir management during the whole field life
