Lecture 2
Oil and GasHydrocarbonsformed from temperature + pressure + time
Reservoir types:
traditionalstructural and stratigraphic
chalk and coal-bed methane
shale gas
With sufficient size and "porosity (pore space) to hold a commercial quantity of oil or gas
With sufficient "permeability" (connecting pore spaces to allow the oil (given its "viscosity") or
gas to flow through the reservoir
With sufficient "natural reservoir energy" (pressure) to force the oil or gas into the wellbore.

Oil and gas lease:
Problem: Mineral Owner, often times a private individual such as a farmer, desires to develop the
minerals but does not have the time, money and expertise. Producers has all these things, but no
minerals.

Solution: Agreement/deed whereby Mineral Owner sells right/real property interest to develop
