Petroleum industry structure

The Upstream process consists of exploration, development and production of crude oil or natural gas. Midstream operation are sometimes calcified under downstream sector . Midstream processes are the processes of gathering, processing/refining and transportation, storage and technological application.( Upstream, midstream and downstream  are three major sector of petroleum industry). The upstream oil sector is also commonly known as the exploration and production. The upstream sector includes searching for hydrocarbon enriched crude oil which is underground or underwater and also natural gas fields, drilling exploratory crude oil wells, and subsequently operating the wells that recover and bring the crude oil or  raw natural gas to the earth surface. There has been a significant of unconventional gas as aside part of the upstream sector, and corresponding developments in (LNG) gas processing and transport. Upstream Industry has traditionally experienced the highest number of Acquisitions and Divestitures.
