    What are Oil and Gas? Oil and Gas are substances found within the earths

    crust.

    They are thought to come from decomposed plant and

    animal matter.

    Scientists believe the plants and animals died long ago,

    and were slowly buried by thick layers of sediments.Over a long period of time, and with pressure andtemperature, the organic materials were converted into

    the oil and gas which are found today.

    What else do we know about oil and gas?

    Oil in its natural state can bethick or thin, black or light

    colored.

    When oil is refined, many

    products can be obtained:

    Energy for power

    Gasoline for cars

    Diesel fuel for trucks andtrains

    Hi-octane fuels for planes

    Heating oil for houses

    Many other materials alsocome from petroleum:

    Plastics

    Materials for clothes(example: polyester fabrics)

    Chemicals for everyday use

    Paints

    Did you know that oil has natural gas in it?

    When oil is produced, some gas is produced

    with the oil.

    The natural gas is in solution, just like the

    carbon dioxide which is put inside of pop togive it its fizz.

    Abarrel of oil may contain anywhere from1 cubic ft of gas, to over 10,000 cubic ft,depending on the type of reservoir.

    Thats enough gas in a single barrel of oil tofill your whole house!

    Where can we find Oil and

    Gas?

  • 7/29/2019 Exploring and Drilling for Oil and Gas - Drilling Training PPZ

    6/71

    Some people think that oil is in big pools underground.

    Actually, most oil is trapped in the tiny pore spaces betweengrains of rock or sand. Most of these pores are too small to

    be seen with the naked eye.

  • 7/29/2019 Exploring and Drilling for Oil and Gas - Drilling Training PPZ

    7/71

    So, how do we find oil-bearing

    rocks?

    Oil and gas are found in natural traps within theearth.

    These traps consist of domes or faults. Impermeablerock above the trap prevents the oil and gas frommigrating up to surface. An impermeablerock isone that fluid cannot pass through.

    without traps, the oil and gas could migrate all theway to the surface and evaporate.

    Note the layer of impermeable rock which prevents the oil from migrating upwards.

    Also, note the layer of water below which prevents the oil from escaping down. Why?

    How do we find the oil reservoirs?

    Geophysicists find reservoirs by bouncing sound waves off them, andtiming how long it takes for the sound to come back

    Computers process the data to construct pictures of what the earth lookslike underground.

    A Drilling Rig is:

    A package of special equipment put together to enableus to drill into the earth.

    A drilling rig has many different parts:a derrick, a substructure, hoisting equipment, enginesfor power, drill pipe, steel tanks, pumps, solids control

    equipment, and many other pieces.

    Did you know that some drilling rigs can drill as deep

    as 6 miles? Thats as deep as Mt. Everest is tall!

    The jackup, as it is known informally,

    is towed onto location with its legs

    up and the barge section floating on

    the water. Upon arrival at the drillinglocation, the legs are jacked down onto the seafloor and the entire

    barge and drilling structure are slowly raised above the water to a

    predetermined height above the water, so that wave, tidal and curreloading acts only on the relatively small legs and not the bulky barg

    RIG TYPESSUBMERSIBLE RIGSUBMERSIBLE RIG

    A particular type of floating vessel, usually used as a mobile offshore

    drilling unit (MODU), that is supported primarily on large pontoon

    -like structures submerged below the seasurface. The operating decks

    are elevated 100 or more feet [30 m] above the pontoons on large steelcolumns. Once on the desired location, this type of structure is slowly

    flooded until it rests on the seafloor. After the well is completed, the

    water is pumped out of the buoyancy tanks, the vessel refloated andtowed to the next location. Submersibles, as they are known informally,

    operate in relatively shallow water, since they must actually rest on the

    seafloor

    decks are elevated perhaps 100 or

    more feet above the pontoons on

    large steel columns. This design has

    the advantage of submerging most

    of the area of components in contactwith the sea and minimizing loading from waves and wind.

    Semisubmersibles can operate in a wide range of water depths,

    including deep water. They are usually anchored with six to twelveanchor chains, which are computer controlled to maintain station-

    Is a special ship modified to hosta drilling rig to drill wells in deep

    water.

    Drill ships are the most mobile of

    all the mobile drilling units and

    are used in remote waters.

    They can drill wells in very deep

    water but they are very susceptibleto wave motion and are not suitable

    for use in heavy seas

    Large pumps used to circulate the mud on a drilling rig.

    They pick up the mud from the suction pit and force the mud

    mud then moves back up the hole to the surface and reaches

    again the suction pit.A typical mud pump is a piston pump whose pistons travel in

    replaceable liners. In base of the diameter of these liners change

    the number of liters pumped for each pump stroke.

    tubing) and others are fitted with hardened steel shearing surfacesthat can actually cut through drillpipe. Since BOPs are critically

    important to the safety of the crew, the rig and the wellbore itself,

    BOPs are inspected, tested and refurbished at regular intervals

    determined by a combination of risk assessment, local practice,

    well type and legal requirements. BOP tests vary from daily function

    testing on critical wells to monthly or less frequent testing on wells

    ANNULAR BLOW OUT PREVENTERANNULAR BLOW OUT PREVENTER

    A large valve used to control

    wellbore fluids. This type of

    valve forms a seal in the

    annular space between the

    pipe and the wellbore or, if

    no pipe is present, on thewellbore itself.

    RAM BLOW OUT PREVENTERRAM BLOW OUT PREVENTER

    A ram blowout preventer (BOP)

    consists of two halves of a coverfor the well that are split down

    the middle. Large-diameter

    hydraulic cylinders, normallyretracted, force the two halves

    of the cover together in the middle

    to seal the wellbore.

    Blind rams , when closed, form a seal on a hole that has no drill pipes

    in it; Pipe rams, when closed, seal around the pipe; Shear rams,

    when closed, sut trhough drill pipe and then form a seal.

    SHEAR RAMS

    A blowout preventer (BOP) closing element fitted with hardened

    tool steel blades designed to cut the drillpipe when the BOP isclosed. A shear ram is normally used as a last resort to regain

    pressure control of a well that is flowing. Once the drillpipe is cut

    (or sheared) by the shear rams, it is usually left hanging in the

    BOP stack, and kill operations become more difficult.

    CHOKE MANIFOLD

    An arrangement of piping or valves designed to control, distribute

    and often monitor fluid flow. Manifolds are often configured forspecific functions, such as a choke manifold used in well-control

    operations to reduce the pressure of a fluid from high pressure in the

    closed wellbore to atmospheric pressure. It may be adjusted (openedor closed) to closely control the pressure drop.
