Upstream is E&P (Exploration and Production). This involves the search for underwater and underground natural gas fields or crude oil fields and the drilling of exploration wells and drilling into established wells to recover oil and gas.
TRUE
FALSE
Midstream refers to the filtering of the raw materials obtained during the upstream phase.
TRUE
FALSE
Downstream refers to refining crude oil and purifying natural gas. The marketing and commercial distribution of these products to consumers and end users.

To market and sell refined products directly to consumers
To convert crude oil into various petrochemical products
How does the Downstream sector rely on the Upstream sector?
By receiving crude oil and natural gas for refining into usable products
By providing raw materials for transportation
By storing crude oil and natural gas
By exploring and extracting new oil reserves
How do the three sectors collectively contribute to the oil and gas supply chain's efficiency?
By individually operating without interdependence
By ensuring a continuous flow of energy resources from production to consumption
By focusing solely on refining processes
By minimizing the exploration of new oil reserves
