Understanding
the Oil and Gas Industry

At Quantum commodities, we adhere to the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC), Revision 4, to define and structure our operations within the oil and gas industry. Our comprehensive approach spans the entire supply chain, divided into three primary segments: upstream, midstream, and downstream.

Upstream Segment

The upstream segment encompasses all activities related to the exploration and initial extraction of hydrocarbons. This critical phase involves:
  • Exploration: Conducting searches for hydrocarbon deposits, identifying high-potential areas for extraction, and performing test drilling.
  • Drilling and Extraction: Constructing wells and beginning the extraction process. Drilling operations are typically outsourced to specialized firms and can occur both onshore (in oil fields) and offshore (from single platforms that contain all necessary equipment and housing for crews).
  • Hydraulic Fracturing: Using advanced techniques to extract hydrocarbons from challenging areas, including existing wells, coalbed wells, tight sand formations, and shale formations.

Midstream Segment

The midstream segment focuses on the transportation and storage of oil and gas, ensuring these resources move efficiently from extraction sites to processing facilities and markets. Key activities include:
  • Transportation: Operating pipelines and other transportation methods, such as tank trucks, rail tank cars, barges, and LNG tankers, to move oil and gas over long distances.
  • Storage: Storing oil and natural gas to mitigate supply and demand fluctuations, maintaining a steady and reliable supply chain.

Downstream Segment

The downstream segment involves refining crude oil and natural gas into a wide array of finished products. This segment is crucial for transforming raw hydrocarbons into valuable commodities, including:

  • Fuel Production: Creating petrol, diesel, kerosene, jet fuels, and heating oils.
  • Industrial Products: Producing asphalt for road construction and long-ch ain hydrocarbons used in fertilizers, rubber, plastics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, paints, and fabrics.
