Petroleum Exploration (Pvt) Limited’s Post

As an intern at OGDCL (Oil & Gas Development Company Limited), I'm passionate about sharing insights into the fascinating world of the oil and gas industry. Let me shed some light on separators, a vital component in this sector. In the oil and gas industry, separators play a pivotal role in the extraction process. They are the unsung heroes responsible for separating oil, gas, and water mixtures efficiently. Imagine a colossal washing machine for petroleum fluids. These separators use gravity and other physical principles to perform this task. Oil, gas, and water enter the separator, and due to their varying densities, they naturally separate. The gas rises to the top, while the water settles at the bottom. The oil, being in between, is collected from the middle layer. This separation ensures that each component can be further processed or refined as needed. My goal during my internship at OGDCL is not only to gain valuable experience but also to share this knowledge with others. Understanding how separators work is crucial for optimizing production, minimizing environmental impact, and ensuring the safe and efficient extraction of these valuable resources. Join me on this educational journey as I strive to explain the intricacies of the oil and gas industry, one vital component at a time, for the betterment of our collective understanding and progress. #oilandgas #internship #separator #OGDCL #engineeringcareers

Let the digital adventure unfold! Sincerely I thought internships and field trips were solely hand-on experiences nevertheless, there is no shadow of doubt in the midst of any sundry that the virtual journey organized by the Society of Petroleum Engineers(SPE) and Ghana Gas has veritably proven to be one of the best experiences I’ve had so far. The internship is a four-day wonderful journey organized for students. Yesterday, January 09, marked the first day of the virtual internship and I learnt the overview of the gas sector, and gas demand and supply balance. It sounds interesting right? Yes! It was an enthusiastic, super fabulous, magnificent…in fact, it was sublime! Which adjectives again? I hope you understand my feelings towards the field trip? Please just be empathetic for a minute. I attained knowledge about the sources of gas supply in Ghana, uses of gas, gas supply, consumers of gas, gas balance, and how to deal with excess and deficit gas supply. The overview of gas sector also reinforced my understanding about what Ghana gas does, sectors in the industry and the upstream petroleum life cycle. OVERVIEW OF GAS SECTOR Ghana Gas basically gathers gases, processes, and delivers. Sectors in the Petroleum Industry: 1. Upstream 2. Midstream 3. Downstream Upstream Petroleum Life Cycle 1. Acquisition 2. Exploration 3. Appraisal 4. Development 5. Production 6. Abandonment GAS DEMAND AND SUPPLY BALANCE Sources of Gas Supply 1. Indigenous : Jubilee field, TEN field, Sankofa field (Ghana) 2. Regional: N-Gas (Nigeria) 3. Import: LNG ( yet to commence) Uses of Gas 1. Power generation 2. Non-power generation utilization (fertilizer) 3. Transportation 4. Commercials Jubilee and TEN fields are always raw gases, that's, they’re not processed but Sankofa comes already processed. Gas Demand: Power and Non-power Consumption Statistically, in the 3rd quarter of 2023, the indigenous power consumption was 231.09MMscf/d with 10% as consumption power demand and 90% as average daily gas grid power demand. Some Consumers of Gas- Users VRA, WAPCO, KARPOWER, GENSER, WANKANG, TWYFORD, JINTAO and many more. Assumption of Gas Balance: 1. Team LNG is assumed to come in the 3rd quarter of 2024. 2. Gas supply forecast is based on data provided by upstream sector (GNPC and Tullow.) 3. Springfield and Aker gas reserve data aren’t currently considered. How to Deal with Excess and Deficit Gas Supply Excess: 1. Increase non-power demand 2. Increase gas-to-power demand 3. Strategic government investment Deficit: 1. Addition of N-gas supply 2. Working on new fields for exploration I express my utmost gratitude to Society of Petroleum Engineers - SPE Ghana Section, Ghana National Gas Company Limited, and its zealous CEO, Dr. Ben Asante, the host, Sheena Owusu-Ansah, speakers, Riverson Oppong, PhD., Sir Peter Amissah-Hagan, the students' liaison, Sir Philip K. Banini and the entire staff of GNGC.

My vision to become an offshore production engineer 👷♀️ grants me a wake up mind of always taking my studies and team work serious. As part of my quest to really see how oil and gas industries operate, GNPC who basically are into upstream granted me an opportunity to do my internship with them. This opportunity exposed me to a lot of knowledge and skills and made me appreciate the quiddity of working in a team . Part of my duty as an intern was to regularly submit myself to be taught…… we worked with alot of data from the field to sum up with careful analysis 🧐 of how the GoR , API gravity , pressures and the formation velocities per day, weeks, months and annually. This is done to achieve the core mandate of a production engineer which is optimization of oil and gas ⛽️ and most especially to cut down cost. My one month of internship at GNPC has been an impactful one and memorial 😍. GNPC has been impactful to the citizens as well by drilling boreholes at the rural Areas, manufacturing of schools and astroturfs #Ghananationalpetroleumcoperation #oilandgasindustry #UmaTedugh
