Con Side of Off Shore Drilling When I first decided to write on this topic I really didn’t understand any con side of it but‚ as the research went on I found tons of reasons for it not to happen. There are many things that go into off shore drilling including experience which very few people or companies have in the U.S. since it has been banned. It also has to keep in mind all the environmental problems that go along with drilling in the ocean as well. The off shore drilling has been tried and failed

Lab Report: DRILLING FLUID (MUD) DENSITY Objective: The aim of this experiment is to determine the mud density‚ specific gravity and hydrostatic pressure gradient for water-based-mud‚ WBM (Drilling fluid) using the OFITE mud balance. Theory: Drilling fluids are used during the drilling of boreholes‚ either for oil wells or water boles holes. One of the major functions of a drilling fluid includes providing hydrostatic pressure to prevent formation fluids from entering the wellbore. To ensure

Because i am petroleum engineering student‚ and i had taken a course that specifically focuses on drilling mud. Furthermore‚ i have done a lot of research regarding

1. Problem Definition Peter Bremmer‚ has the opportunity to bid for the drilling contract of one of the largest players in the Canadian mining industry. Winning this bid could be a major step to achieve his growth strategy‚ but the company currently does not have sufficient equipment and experienced drillers available‚ the industry is short of skilled workers and the highly cyclical industry environment makes long-term investments risky. Additionally‚ he has only 3 weeks to make a decision. 2.

Dharwar Drilling Society(DDS) As part of Dharwar Drilling Society’s objective to motivate more farmers to mortgage their land and take the risk of drilling to stuck water for irrigation and hence make them self- reliant‚ we need to consider the following to structure our problem and find out the best possible alternative:- Decision Makers The case brings out three major decision makers who influence the decision making process and hence the outcomes/ • Farmers-The farmers will decide whether

Drilling Fluids Physical Properties of Mud PETE 101 Introduction to Petroleum Engineering Submitted to: Dr. Shirish Patil Petroleum Engineering Department University of Alaska Fairbanks By: Me Abstract Drilling fluid (mud) is a mixture of water or oil‚ or emulsion base ‚ clay‚ weighing material and some chemicals. The combination of mud may vary according to the changes in formation. Drilling fluid plays essential role in drilling process. For this experiment we

Introduction The Deepwater Horizon rig sank on April 22‚ 2010‚ two days after the Macondo well blowout and explosion that killed 11 workers. The Deepwater Horizon accident‚ also known as the BP Oil Spill‚ was a project failure of immense proportions. It went from an oil exploration “project” to a massive program with portfolios of projects related to dealing with the families of those killed on the oil rig‚ stopping the oil leak‚ capturing the oil (from the well and from the ocean)‚ cleaning the

TITLE: Water Based Drilling Fluid Analysis EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Analysis of drilling fluids is essential to their performance. In this laboratory exercise the aim is to test three drilling fluid samples for; density and rheological properties‚ Fluid loss‚ chemical analysis i.e. testing pH‚ alkalinity‚ testing for chloride ions‚ calcium carbonate‚ calcium‚ bentonite; also determining the amount of solids present in the samples as well as volumes of oil‚ water and solids contained in the sample‚ and

BP acquired the right of operating the Macondo Well Project from the U.S. Minerals Management Service in 2009‚ and then BP leased the Deepwater Horizon rig from Transocean who provides offshore drilling equipment and personnel operation. Both BP and Transocean operated the Deepwater Horizon when the disaster happened. The Deepwater Horizon explosion resulted in major damages and losses. When the explosion occurred‚ workers
