Drilling

Shell drilling camp notes Day 1- we learned health, safety and emergency procedures when off shore. Such as how to get out of a sinking helicopter, how to properly swim once floating in the water, team techniques to increase our chance of survival, and use lifesaving equipment if need to abandon ship/platform. Then we learned why it is important to follow safety regulations and why certain procedures are done and how it is everyone's responsibility to prevent it. As well as how the Piper drill rig explosion could have been avoided by fixable mistakes, how fire extinguishers and how different fires such as a kitchen fire should be properly put out, why it is important to be aware of just others but ourselves for mistakes. When bad things happen,…

In a rural town where population is not large where natural gas is found beneath. The perfect location for the process of fracking. Fracking or Hydraulic fracturing is the process of drilling down into the earth and releasing a high pressure water mix to obtain natural gas. Fracking began as an experiment in 1947 and started commercially in 1950 and since over two million “fracking jobs” have been done since. The process of fracking is very controversial around the world and has even been…

the surface hole. Also, we will ignore the strat well (A-9-J/94-G-2) due to its lack of efficiency and focus on exploration. Regarding well D9-J, the information was very limited and thus we have emphasized it accordingly. For the lithology, we will assume that every well within the pad will encounter each formation at the same time. Since the 1950s, the Montney Formation has been the target of oil and gas exploration. Based on the research we obtained we will provide a recommendation to…

After reading the article, the headline is accurate with the content of the story. Because the story talks about a divide between the Southeast, the headline does a good job about staying neutral. This may create a motive for readers to want to read the full story to learn more about the divide happening. Searching the words drilling plan on The New York Times website lead me to the online version of this article. The headline read, “Divide Grows in Southeast Over Offshore Drilling Plan.” The…

itself when it comes to deciding whether or not they should drill for Oil in the Arctic. The United States already produces the most oil in the world, so what makes drilling for oil in the Arctic necessary? It’s because the United States, a fossil fuel dependent country, wants more oil, even though it isn’t needed. The United States needs to face the realization that the Arctic is a horrible place to drill for oil. The freezing climate, the obstacle of ice, and extreme winds of the Arctic would…

This article, though a few years old, gives a brief background over how oil is formed, where it is formed, and the importance of offshore drilling. The first point the articles makes is to deter from what once was believed that oil is formed from biodegrading dinosaurs to the fact oil comes from microscopic organisms at sea. Scientist estimate that each drop of sea water contain millions of life forms and after several millions of years these microorganisms get compacted deep into the…

Dear Congressman, After researching the production of oil, in regards to offshore drilling I have found that the oil rigs are creating a vast amount of negative externalities, which is leading to inefficiencies in the economy. Offshore drilling is greatly associated with the amount of risk and as technology advances it has allowed companies to operate in even deeper waters, which allows the major companies to explore further out into the ocean. Past oil spills, along with the assumption of…

consumer. Drilling for oil in the Arctic is one solution to the high cost of fuel. It will lower cost and it will increase the revenues of industrialists and create jobs, but without the proper regulations, it has the high probability to create many issues within the environment in the Arctic. Drilling for oil in the Arctic will…

Drilling into concrete is a reasonably clean system in case you recognize the right method It doesn't count in case you are a professional craftsman or just a casual zealot as both have to recognize the proper technique of drilling into hardened concrete. This is one of the most fundamental things a tradesman ought to excel in. Sometimes you want to hold artwork in your residing room and on occasion you are required to position up wall cabinets to your bedroom. There are various tasks where…

My research essay was a medium success. This is because of the thorough planning that went into the essay. My assignment goal was to discuss the damages done by an oil drilling operation. I knew early in that the damages were very wide. I also knew I had to narrow down exactly what damages to discuss. In the end I chose the coral reefs, marine life, and the workers that responded. The overall tone was to be the environmental impacts. I was open to any impacts environmentally that I may…
