What is hydrostatic pressure used for drilling oil wells?

In Drilling terminology, hydrostatic pressure is "The pressure exerted on a column of fluid at rest". This said, an oil well is just a column of fluid. Hydrostatic pressure is used to control the formation pressure in a well in order to prevent a "kick" (an influx of fluid into the well bore) or a blow-out (an uncontrolled influx of fluid into the well bore). Hydrostatic Pressure is calculated by a simple calculation = depth in meters x weight of drilling fluid in kg/m3 x gravity constant of 0.00981. IE. drilling at a depth of 3459m with drilling fluid that weighs 1120 kg/m3 would give you a Hydrostatic pressure of 38005 kpa. This is the amount of pressure that is being exerted on the formation at 3459m


Why you use drill collar in drilling?

It's an easy way to limit the depth of your holes.


What depth is the ellenberger located in stonewall county?

at what depth does the ellenberger formation start in stonewall county?


When people are drilling for oil why is the oil hot?

Its due to the heat in the subsurface that is caused by the pressure at depth.


Why is it important to the depth of an aquifer before drilling a well?

It's important to know the depth of an aquifer before drilling a well because if you drilled 35ft but there was a remaining of about 5-10 more feet you wouldn't really get all the water from the aquifer, and you'd run out of water in an amount of time.

When depth into the earth increases so does?

Temperature and pressure increase with increased depth into the Earth.


What is the reason for not drilling more of your own oil in the gulf of Mexico?

Depth of the sea floor. For example at 30,000+ feet of depth, it becomes increasingly difficult to drill for oil on the open sea.


What happens to water pressure as you increase depth?

as water depth increases then so does the water pressure


Temperature and pressure increase with depth inside Earth - True or False?

True. Temperature and pressure both increase with increasing depth within the Earth.


How do you select a new drilling rig?

It depends on what exactly you are trying to do. The depth you want to drill to; the depth of water you are working in; what type of media you are trying to drill through; the location of the job. There are many types of rig availible; when you know what you want to then you would contact one of the (many) drilling companies who would explain the best options for you.
