Assalamualaikum and a very good evening I wished to my beloved lecturer‚ Madam Shima and to all my fellow mates. My name is (name)‚ I’m from PE department‚ 2nd year 1st semester. I have been studying Petroleum Engineering for almost 2 years now and have been exposed with many things regarding the Petroleum Engineering. So‚ I hope you guys can listen to what I’m going to present after this. (Slide 2) I believed that all of you‚ an engineer-to-be‚ will someday works with the oil and gas industry and

observation and sampling wells and found that the product was sitting in a vertical plume‚ slowly diffusing into a deep aquifer. Because there was no surface or groundwater pollution off the plant property‚ the plant manager decided to do nothing. Jesse thought that somewhere under the plant there still sits this plume‚ although the last tests from the sampling wells showed that the concentration of the chemical in the groundwater within 400 feet of the surface was essentially zero. The wells were capped‚ and

drilling mud. All drilling fluids‚ especially drilling mud‚ can have a wide range of chemical and physical properties. These properties are specifically designed for drilling conditions and the special problems that must be handled in drilling a well. Purpose of Drilling Fluids 1. Cooling and lubrication. As the bit drills into the rock formation‚ the friction caused by the rotating bit against the rock generate heat. The heat is dissipated by the circulating drilling fluid.

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 environment (seashores‚ wetlands

close look at my Resume will indicate that I majored in the exploitation of oil and gas fields in my undergraduate program and specialized in petroleum engineering‚ a similar specialty‚ in my Master’s program. It may well be asked why I maintain such a close affinity with petroleum. The answer is simple and straightforward—because I was born and I grew up on an oil field and I have cherished a deep love for all that it represent. Even as a child‚ I had a habit of watching for hours how beam-pumping

Permeability is the measure of how well a fluid flows through a porous material. At that depth‚ and within such nonporous rock‚ the ability of fluids to travel to the well is greatly limited. Fracturing increases the area of the fluid that is exposed to porous materials and thus greatly increases production. The method of fracturing utilizes a few key components which allow for an economical extraction of resources. The fracturing process applied in a horizontal well through shale. Simplified Steps
