What is the difference between drilling and directional drilling?
Conventional Drilling is the drilling of a vertical well through reservoir rocks to TD. Directional drilling is the drilling of a non-vertical well horizontaly through a source rock.
How is petroleum extracted?
Petroleum is extracted by different processes. 1. Drilling 2. Well Completion 3. Production System and facility design (Plant) 4. Storage or Shipment Drilling: It is first process in the petroleum extraction. The drilling is same like drilling for orifice in the wall, but it is large in scale. The machine that drill the well is called as " Drilling rig". The drilling rig has main four function. a. Rig Power System: Either by diesel engines or by electric engines b. Hoisting System: c. Circulating System d. Rotary system e. Well control system: By BOPs, like Pipe Ram, Annular Preventor, and Shear Ram etc. f. Well monitoring System:
What do oil driller do every day?
An drilling engineer may have many responsibilities. His work day may vary depending on the well or wells that need to be drilled. Generally, drilling engineers work in teams, with other engineers involved in the planning and the actual drilling of wells. No matter how much planning goes into drilling a well, every well is unique and has new challenges. So a drilling engineer is always learning how to drill a well better and safely. So, what activity can I say a drilling engineer does every day, is to communicate with others, to learn from past experiences and be prepared always for unexpected events.
Who invented horizontal well drilling?
Roland Matteri Petaluma Ca.
How much does Michelle bridges weigh?
Michelle Bridges weighs about 60kg. Well that's what she said on the fourth season.
What is stove pipe in oil drilling?
conductor pipe piled or hammered to refusal before spudding a well
Are explosives used in petroleum drilling?
No...what in the world would possess a man to think that explosives would be safe to use on an oil well. The proper way to drill an oil well would be to use a "Drill Bit" followed by a series of tools and special pipe to make up the "Bottom hole assembly" or the BHA. As the bit drills deeper a series of pipe are added to the top of the drilling pipe, these are call "Drill Pipe"
Where does oil well drilling occur?
There is not much information about where Oil well drilling occurs but some well known cities are in Dallas Texas, Mexico, Ontario. One can find more information on the process of oil well drilling among other information on Wikipedia.

What prevents ocean water from going down an ocean oil rig?
I think you are asking why doesn't ocean water go down the well made by a drilling rig or why doesn't the ocean water splash over the rig. The drilling rig used is in deepwater drilling is a semi-submersible, meaning that part of the rig is under water. But where the people work is pretty high off the water, as much as 75' above the water. Now, the well must be constructed so water from the ocean can not enter the well, and that oil found miles below the sea floor and under high pressure, does not enter the well. There drill pipe with a bit on the end that turns and makes a hole in the sea floor. But this drill pipe from the rig floor to the ocean bottom is inside another pipe called a marine riser. The marine riser keeps the ocean water from coming inside the well. The well must be designed so oil doesn't come into the well. As the well is drilled, the driller will circulate a heavy drilling mud, to prevent oil and gas from coming into the well. Also, they will cement in casing (basically large pipes) to keep oil and gas from entering the well. A well may have several pipes, one inside the other, used to seal the well from the formation as drilling progresses. See related link.

What to consider before drilling a well?
There are many things to consider when drilling a water well. Here are a few questions to ask yourself. 1. How much is a typical well in my area? Neighbors are a great resource and local well drilling companies. 2. Is public water available? Is it cheap and readily accessible? 3. Is my well drilling contractor licensed and insured? 4. What type of demand do I need, how much GPM? 5. What kind of pressure do I need, how much PSI? 6. Is there possible contaminants in my aquifer? If so, what type of water system will be needed? They can be very costly. Hope this helps. For residential wells, local drillers are better. They know the area and are familiar with the drilling.

How is oil extracted?
Oil is extracted through drilling a well into an underground reservoir, typically using a drill bit attached to a drilling rig. The oil is then pumped or flows to the surface through the well. Various techniques such as primary, secondary, and tertiary recovery methods are used to extract the maximum amount of oil from a reservoir.
