An accomplished oil and gas production executive, Ivor R. Ellul draws on more than four decades of experience in the energy industry in his current position as the managing director of CiSK Ventures, Ltd. In this role, Ivor R. Ellul provides consulting services to the upstream, midstream, and downstream divisions of the oil and gas industry.
The procedures involved in the transformation of crude oil and natural gas into finished products are known as downstream operations. Refining crude oil into natural gas liquids, gasoline, diesel, and a number of other energy sources are examples of these processes.
The downstream sector includes businesses that have the most direct connection to end-use customers. Following the discovery and extraction of crude oil (the upstream phase), it is exported and transported (the midstream process). The oil is then processed, marketed, distributed, and sold as part of the downstream process. The further downstream an oil and gas business is, the closer it is to the process of supplying petroleum products to customers.
