Enhancing the field of oil and gas production, safety and without damaging the reservoir, in today' s era is the top most priority of each and every operator. Accurate accounting of the field sustainable capacity, development plans, and strict compliance with good reservoir management guidelines with excellent planning of field activities including but not limited to; operations and maintenance, projects, right choice of drilling equipments will help minimizing the production losses. In other words, whenever it has been established that a petroleum reservoir probably exists, despite improvements in seismic techniques the only way of confirming the presence of hydrocarbons is to drill an exploration well. Drilling is very expensive, and if hydrocarbons are not found there is no return for the investment.
