How many barrels per day does a good oil well produce?

The best produce more than 100,000 barrels per day (1 barrel=42 gallons). Most produce less than this, and can produce as little as 100 barrels per day. A "good" well comes down to economics. It should be making enough money to offset the time, effort, and energy costs to keep it running and be producing sufficently to warrent keeping the equipment dedicated to it. Otherwise the equipment should be moved to a more economically viable well which will yield a greater profit margin.


What are rain barrels made of?

They can be either plastic, wood, or metal. Fiberglass works well also, but it is more expensive.


How much does an oil rig make in a day?

I'm not sure if you are referring to money or oil production but, it all depends on the amount of wells and actual oil producing capability of every well on the Oil rig (also known as a production platform). It can produce volumes of around <500 BPD (Barrels/Day) and can exceed 15 000 BPD. There are also multiple wells on a single rig. So, if you have for eg. 40 wells producing an average of 5000 BPD between them on a single platform, you are looking at 200 000 BPD which could add up to $20 000 000 per day. You have to keep in mind that these operations are extremely expensive to run and the exploration and drilling operations cost billions even before any oil was produced. The oil production of every single well decreases over time and profits decrease.


What is a single moveable pulley?

A simple single pulley enables the applied force to change direction. A pulley at the top of a well is the common example. In many applications, such as the fan belt on a car, it is used to transfer energy from one shaft to another.

How many barrels does a Texas oil well produce?

I have provided an answer based on my assumption that you would like to know how much oil a well produces on a daily basis. It is very hard to generalize. Oil production is measured in barrels per day. A barrel is 42 gallons. Well production is highly variable and depends on many factors. There are many wells in the US producing less than 10 barrels of oil per day and are considered "stripper wells." The high side of oil production from a single wellbore can be as high as 10,000 barrels/day. The production normally declines as reservoir pressure declines. An increase in gas and/or water can result in declining production.

None. The Maconda well did not conducted any production tests prior to the blow out. This was an exploratory well which did not reached it's final depth.

How much total oil will come out of the oil spill if unchecked?

Very difficult to know, because a blown out well, today is always brought under control. How much oil would the Maconda well produce, if they did not try to cap it? Many wells produce over 10 million barrels, or 420 million gallons. But blow-out have known to bridge over, and seal themselves over time. Nobody is going to let a blow out go unchecked.


What are the specifications of a Browning B80 shotgun?

What specifications do you need? Barrels differentiate depending on length and choke. The weight depends on the barrel as well.


How many gallons of crude oil does a US oil well pump in one day?

Depends...First all oil wells are rated in barrels (42 gal).Some wells can produce hundreds of barrels of fluid per day. Some wells produce only one or less than 1 barrel of fluid per day.The fluid they produce can also vary in the amount of oil they produce, some wells might produce a lot of fluid but its only 5% oil where the rest is salt water. While other wells produce pure oil and all in between. Some wells even actually inject fluids back down into the geological formation. Not every well you see is a producer.You might have two wells 50' apart and they produce completely different amounts of oil. It all depends on the geology down where they drilled and luck since you really never know what is down there until you drill the hole.
