Rig Operation
This vertical steel structure is used to support the crown block and the drillstring.
derrick (or mast)
One of the primary functions of drilling fluid is to do this to the drill bit during operation
cooling and lubricating
...uses when natural flow of the oil and gas stops
Artifitial Lifting
These are the two chemical elements that make up 100% of a pure hydrocarbon molecule
Hydrogen and Carbon
The modern mechanical device used to rotate the drill string from the top, replacing the older "Kelly" system
Top Drive
This property of mud, often measured in ppg (pounds per gallon)
Mud Density
......is a well drilled specifically to intersect a blowing or out-of-control well (wild well) underground. Its sole purpose is to pump heavy fluids (kill fluid) directly into the original wellbore to permanently kill the blowout and bring it under control.
Relief well
Benzene is composed of how many Carbon molecules
6+
These extremely heavy, thick-walled pipes are placed at the bottom of the drill string to provide the necessary "Weight on Bit" (WOB) to break the rock
Drill collars
Till four functions for drilling fluids
Weight , operating DH equipment , Removing cuttings , control well bore stability
On land, this sensitive instrument is placed on the ground to detect seismic vibrations
Geophone
What is Permeability
This property measures the ability of a rock to allow fluids to flow through its connected pores
This small hole in the rig floor is used to store the next joint of drill pipe so it can be quickly attached to the drill string
Mouse Hole
filter cake is the layer of solids deposited on the borehole wall by the mud , it must be .... and .....
thin, low-permeability
In offshore exploration, these devices are towed behind ships to detect sound reflections in the water
Hydrophones
This property defines the percentage of void space within a rock where oil can be stored.
Porosity
What are the primary and secondary barriers in drilling fluids
Drilling fluids and BOP
Viscosity measured by March funnel is counted in which unit ?
Sec/Quart
A rock layer that is impermeable and prevents hydrocarbons from leaking to the surface.
Cap Rock
The process of heating and producing the oil and gas products
Refining
