Drilling rig

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…

Scope The purpose of this project is to summarize the Montney shale gas play that Progress Energy is operating in. We will be looking at and comparing the different wellbore designs they have, such as lengths, casing sizes, stages, frac tonnage. We will also be analyzing 8 wells in the Lily area and provide thorough information on well architecture, interval problems, number of bits/trips, and a day’s vs depth for all eight wells. We are going to analyze on the eight-well pad, located in…

Offshore oil drilling occurs not only in the United States, but around the entire world. Drilling is a common practice and exists in eighty different countries. Within the entire world there are approximately 1,470 functioning offshore oil rigs (“Number of offshore”). At the rate that the United States is drilling, the country will use up all the fuel in the oceans within a fifteen-year time span creating the largest oil shortage in history. Although offshore oil drilling can be harmful to…

A documentary about oil drilling. You decide to start watching and once you get into it, you don’t want to stop. You keep watching more and learning more about what happens during oil drilling. Then the documentary starts showing pictures of the possible effects of oil drilling. The pictures of an oil spill. Pictures of animals coated in oil. Pictures of oil floating on the surface of the ocean. You wonder what happened and why. Then you learn. You learn that when rigs drill for oil, they have…

Oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico must be stopped.Oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico is horrible for lots of people and animals.It hurts are loving environment,are animals,and it hurts the wallet of the U.S. This drilling is killing are beautiful coral reefs.In this paper one is going to see how bad these horrible oil rigs are running are earth.

despite the end-market challenges, the company has managed to beat bottom-line estimates in each of the last four quarters. A weak rig count has weighed on its results National Oilwell’s top line has been under pressure due to a declining rig count in the U.S. and abroad. According to data from Baker Hughes (BHI), the U.S. drilling rig count has fallen 114 units…

oil well drilling offers benefits for both the global economy and the global environment.” (Flournoy, Blake. “Oil Drilling Benefits.”) Also, some scientists have noticed that offshore oil drilling is not the worst amount of maritime pollution and is helping the environment even though it is normally thought that offshore oil drilling is very bad for the environment. The greatest source of ocean oil/gas pollution is actually natural offshore oil seepage. In fact, offshore oil drilling has…

Offshore drilling, this is something that helps and hinders many people, companies, and countries. The process of offshore drilling takes lots of energy, time, and money. It is a process where a rig or boat drills a hole through the ground till the rig hits oil or the desired product that’s being drilled. There is domestic and foreign drilling that produces oil for our companies, domestic drilling saves America millions of dollars. (Offshore Drilling)Sometimes America can’t provide the major…

Although some may say that offshore oil drilling is worth the mass amount of environmental destruction, it is actually true that the costs deeply outweigh the benefits, because while oil production may slightly help the country’s economy, it damages the planet we live on, resulting in the death of marine life, climate change, and a lowered quality of life due to oil related health complications. When a proponent for offshore drilling looks at an offshore drilling rig, they only see money, when…
