What is blind drilling in oil and gas industry?
If there are natural fractures in a reservior & there is a risk of too much loss circulation of drilling fluid then we go for blind drilling where drill cuttings are deposited on fractures & fill them to avoid loss circulation during drilling to getting good production. efhim.ru
What are the pros and cons of oil drilling in Antarctica?
At present, drilling for oil is prohibited until 2048. See Wikipedia link. Second, there has been some drilling in the 1970's offshore in the Ross Sea, but only traces of gas were found. It will be hard to justify spending money to explore for oil, as the cost of drilling and producing is very high. So the ban on exploration may continue after 2048. See second link.
How is natural gas extracted from the earth?
According to experts, the extraction of natural gas can be done by drilling a hole in the ground naturally in the earth or through a controversial process called hydraulic fracturing which is also known as â??fracking.â?? This is where dangerous chemicals are combined with water and sand, and then it is injected into the ground to retrieve gas.
Why returning drilling fluid contain gas when drilling through a resevour?
whenever you are drilling through the pay zone, gas contained zones or shallow gas zones there is the risk of having gas in the mud. As you are circulating the mud throthe annulus if the hydrostatic pressure of the column of mud in the annulus is less than the formation pressure then the gas will rise. Note that the gas can be contained in the mud which is called gas cut mud.
How is drilling for natural gas different from drilling for oil?
Drilling for natural gas is similar to drilling for oil, but gas must be liquefied before it can be shipped.

Is the oil and gas drilling industry growing?
It generally depends on the price of oil and natural gas. When the price of oil/gas gets high, drilling for oil/gas generally increases thereafter. Oil and gas drilling has been growing in areas such as the northeast United States because of new discoveries and technology regarding shale gas.
Good things about drilling for oil and natuarl gas?

Is natural gas found by drilling in the ground?
The process of natural gas is simple and similar to that of oil. Gas is extracted from the earth or the oceans by drilling from a well and then moved by pipeline or boats to a cleaning and processing plant and then to a gas grid or storage facility.
