Most people knows that solids control is important for the oilfeild drilling industry‚but less people knows the working principle of solids control equipment. Solids control is a technique that uses combined equipment for drilling rigs to separate the solids in the drilling fluids that are crushed by the drill bits and carried out of the well to the surface. The solids control equipment contains five stages‚which including mud tanks‚shale shakers‚vacuum degassers‚ desanders‚ desilters and

BC13541 REAE 5303 Spring 2013 Nepa Case Study Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (BP Oil Spill) On April 20‚ 2010 a catastrophic explosion on the Deepwater Horizon off shore drilling platform caused the largest single release to the environment due to oil drilling. This explosion killed 11 workers and injured 17. This oil spill is very controversial because it can be questioned if this spill could have been prevented and what exactly went wrong. There is much debate on who is to blame

2301.01 4 November 2010 Deep Water Oil Well Drilling For the last century finding a cheap supply of a sustainable energy source has been one of the major policies of the United States. Since the later stages of the industrial revolution and the first gasoline powered car were invented there has been an insatiable demand for petroleum. Oil well drilling first began onshore and then eventually led to shallow water drilling and finally deep water drilling as the technology evolved. Over the last twenty

Unfortunately‚ misfortunes like this happen all of the time‚ it is a part of life and all we can do is discover from our mistakes and move forward. One of the main complaints is that “Offshore drilling poses environmental risks.” Yes the environmental danger of off shore drilling gradually has affected our wild lives and fish stocks. Researchers argue that this is not just a short-term effect because the remaining species can obtain new diseases and not be able to fight them because

DRILLING THEORY Principles of percussive drilling In percussive drilling‚ the energy required to break the rock is generated by a pneumatic or hydraulic rock drill. Machines of this kind build up a pressure which‚ on being released‚ drives the piston forward (Fig. 1). The piston strikes on the shank adaptor. The kinetic energy of the piston is converted into a stress wave which travels along the drill string to the rock. In order to obtain the best possible drilling economy the whole

Drilling Mud density or specific gravity is the most significant measurement required and no reliable visual estimate exists. The mud density or specific gravity must be accurately measured in order to successfully drill a well hole. The most accurate measurement of mud density is made by using the Mud Balance. Viscosity is the resistance to flow offered by a fluid. The term is loosely applied as the flow properties of drilling mud. The relative viscosity‚ or the cuttings carrying ability of the

The Rig Veda The Rig Veda is composed of many documents that were recovered by archeologists and are believed to be the oldest written texts to date. These documents give us insight into what the culture was like for these ancient Aryans of India. The texts that we look over‚ Victory over Vritra‚ Who is Indra‚ and To Purusha help give us some look into their beliefs and traditions. The Aryans seem to have a polytheistic belief system and attribute many natural events as being influenced by their
