Discovery to production 
 
The process that begins with discovering oil and ends with exploiting it is 
long and difficult. From start to finish it can take as much as eight to ten years, 
especially if the company has to drill in deep water or arctic conditions. After the 
discovery, the process begins with studies to see if the field can be exploited at a 
profit. The oil company has to estimate the future costs of pumping out the oil and 
getting it to market and predict the prices of oil and gas in many years’ time. The 
company also has to think about the risks the project could bring. 
These risks can be financial and political; if they are badly judged, they 
might even damage the company’s reputation. For example, if they destroy the 
habitat of an endangered species, this could bring them a lot of bad publicity. If the 
company still believes the project is viable and it can obtain the finance, then the 
detailed planning can begin. The aim is to finish it on time and not to go over 
budget. Next, senior managers in the oil company have to choose the consultants 
and contractors that can bring their knowledge and skills to each stage of the 
project. The consulting firms and contractors examine the project and bid for 
different parts of it.
These firms have their own teams and suppliers. During the project, 
thousands of people can be involved. At each level, the project has to be checked 
and coordinated. The hundreds of smaller projects that make up the entire project 
have to be managed. Each job has its own list of tasks and deadlines. Perhaps the 
most important factor is to have a good project manager and realistic schedules.
