weight otherwise known as drilling fluid density is a very important property of the drilling fluid which must be determined regularly during the drilling process. It is defined as the weight per unit volume of the drilling fluid or drilling mud usually expressed in units of g/cm3 or more conveniently lb/gal. Drilling fluid density or mud weight must be measured at regular intervals of the drilling process because as different formations are encountered during the drilling process‚ different fluids

CBHP MPD retains a pressure that is constant between defining limits during both static and dynamic situations. In this context‚ ‘constant’ refers to maintaining a pressure that is continually within the margins of the drilling window. Typically within CBHP MPD operations‚ an automated system such as Weatherford’s Microflux Control system is used to measure and apply the required level of surface backpressure. The following describes the basic mathematics behind this system. [2] Well-bore pressure

Calculating time taken for Manual drilling and CNC Drilling: = Setup Time + Run Time (Per Hole) * No. of Holes drilled on each circuit board * No. of boards Time taken for Manual drilling =15 + 0.08*500*x where x= number of circuit boards Time taken for CNC drilling = 240 + 0.004*500*x where x=

faced with a dilemma of whether to allow for drilling of natural gas or not. In this scenario various participants have different moral responsibilities to play. To start with‚ the government has the moral responsibility of ensuring that the gas drilling activities does not affect the other inhabitants of the ecosystem‚ through formulating laws requiring the gas drillers to employ drilling technologies that reduce pollution. Secondly‚ employees of the drilling companies have the moral obligation to stand

Gulf of Mexico. When addressing the ethical concerns associated with off shore drilling‚ we must look at many different points of views. Although environmental groups have challenged off shore drilling since it became a practice‚ the federal government has allowed it. This is because the government values offshore drilling for economic reasons more than it values preserving the environment. The effects of offshore drilling can be disastrous. My first concern is whether it is ethically right to drill

on an order of magnitude greater than what people have been used to since the 1980s. In a world that today is still dealing with a great deal of uncertainty and has many different market participants who can have very dissimilar profiles and time horizons‚ I think it is useful to realize that violent swings—both to the upside and the downside (rallies and corrections)—could be part of the new normal. As I have stated before‚ I don’t think you should let short-term volatility alter your long-term investment

instructor Axia College of University of Phoenix Allowing or outlawing off shore oil drilling is a complex issue including environmental issues and a lack of readily available alternatives. Despite the problems of global warming and possible disasters like the British Petroleum spill in 2010‚ many Americans still feel as though offshore drilling will provide some sort of relief in fuel prices. Offshore drilling is not a solution to the nation’s long-term energy issues. As a nation‚ The United States

years ago a natural gas drilling company bought some property rights off of my grandfather to get the go-ahead to drill on certain parts of our property. This was the first time I was exposed to what the natural gas industries could do and had much potential‚ and from that point on I knew what I wanted to attend college for‚ PNGE. There are different types of petroleum and natural gas engineers such as Petroleum Geologist‚ Production Engineers‚ Reservoir Engineers‚ and Drilling Engineers. Petroleum

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is defined as “situations where the firm goes beyond compliance and engages in ‘actions that appear to further some social good‚ beyond the interests of the firm and that which is required by law’.” (McWilliams‚ 2006) This cultural ideology includes less environmentally harmful manufacturing processes‚ recycling programs‚ products with environmentally-friendly technologies‚ employee empowerment regarding socially responsible practices‚ and active involvement

of oil production in the Bahamas. (15) Recently‚ there has been a plan to drill oil in the Bahamas. This oil drilling will take place somewhere in the Southern Bahamas‚ closer to Cuba. However‚ there needs to be a referendum to see if the Bahamian public agrees with the thought of drilling oil. Before this referendum can happen‚ the government has allowed ‘exploratory’ drilling to see if there is actually oil in the Bahamas worth making a referendum about.
