Stages of Field Development
Exploration: Identify the prospect in structural terms
Evaluation: Determine nature of hydrocarbons - amount of hydrocarbons
Design & Set Up: Reservoir developed designed an economics evaluated
Production: Allow gas and oil production
Abandonment: Not economically viable
