This book presents a clear and systematic introduction to oil and gas production, explaining how hydrocarbon resources are explored, developed, and produced under diverse geological and operational conditions. It discusses surface and subsurface production systems, drilling fundamentals, well control principles, and processing operations that enable safe, efficient, and continuous extraction of oil and gas. The book emphasises technical workflows, equipment usage, safety practices, and environmental considerations associated with modern energy operations. It also highlights offshore and onshore production environments, logistical support systems, and separation processes used to handle, treat, and transport produced fluids. By integrating engineering concepts with practical industry perspectives, the text builds a strong foundation for understanding production operations, risk management, and responsible resource development in the global oil and gas sector.
It is designed for students, trainees, and professionals in petroleum engineering, energy studies, and related disciplines. The book serves as an academic reference and practical guide for learning core production concepts, field operations, and safety awareness, supporting technical education, skill development, and informed decision-making within upstream oil and gas industries across diverse operational contexts globally.
