In this report‚ I am going to discuss how the current Deepwater Horizon rig explosion has led to disastrous oil spill into the Gulf of Mexico causing environmental problems and also discuss how the oil spill if resolved and with safe and secure drilling techniques‚ the economic impact of offshore drilling can outweigh the environmental issues.

when using Tool A. Tool A experienced breakage when direct drilling after the 2nd hole at cutting speed of 60m/min. At 70m/min‚ rapidly breakage occurred after drill the 1st hole. Unlike Tool A‚ Tool B exhibited a lower tool wear rate as shown in Figures. It can be seen that initially the flank wear grew steadily and increased as drilling continues. Non-uniform flank wear and micro chipping

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

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

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

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

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
