What is the average rate of displacement along the San Andreas fault?

The average amount of diplacement along the San Andreas Fault is 2 to 5 centimeters (1 to 2 inches) per year.


How many barrels does Athabasca oil sands make per day?

The Athabasca oil sands region in Canada produces around 2.8 million barrels of oil per day. This production comes from both surface mining and in-situ drilling operations.


Who is in charge of drilling rigs?

This is a good question! I would like to broaden the question a bit as to who makes the decision on a drilling rig. Of particular interest is the offshore drilling rig, where there are responsibilities for quick decisions on the rig floor, and others made from land offices. Routine decisions can be made on the rig. Other decisions are made from land office. These land offices may be in the particular company where the drilling is occuring, but others may require the home office approval. Drilling engineers, production engineers, reservoir engineers, geophysicists, and geologists may all be involved. Often, the drilling rig is leased from a service company. They may contract the rig on a turnkey or day rate basis. A day rate basis is very common, as the service company is not taking a risk if the drilling takes longer than expected. The rig has a crew which is the service company supervisors job to supervise. The well is drilled per the contracting oil company's (lease holder) plan. At all times, there is a company representative or "company man", present to make decisions as the drilling progresses. The company man may modify the plan however modifications to plan often require land office approvals. Some decisions are critical, such as whether to test a prospective zone. Drilling rigs run 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week, so there is a hectic period between the first encounter of a potential producing zone and the testing plan. Ultimately, the testing plan must have the agreement of the operator and all partners (lease holder group).


How hard is it to drill through gneiss?

Typically very hard, imagine drilling into a granite top at your local cocktail bar... Imagine it twice as hard... Now in terms of drilling in all boils down to the amount of air pressure you have going DTH to break and pulverize the gneiss. Typically, if one would use a 24bar 1170 cfm compressor, drilling a 6"dia hole, you will drill roughly 4-8m per hour. This is our averages in Archean granites and gneiss. It takes way much longer if you have less air pressure (less than 21bars / 300psi)


What is the gradient for underground soil pipe?

The gradient for underground soil pipes is typically recommended to be between 1:40 to 1:110 (1 inch to 3 inches drop per 3.3 feet of horizontal distance). This slope allows for proper flow of wastewater and helps prevent clogs and buildup in the pipes.

What is the formula for getting the maximum height the horizontal displacement and vertical displacement in vertical projection?

If you are looking to get an object up the highest, shoot it straight up. If you want to go for a specific horizontal displacement, use the range equation. R = v2sin(twice the launch angle)/ g. g is the gravitaional constant, 9.8 meters per second. Use degrees for the angle. v is the launch velocity. R is the horizontal displacement. This formula only works if your start altitude and end altitude are the same, i.e. you must shoot over a level field.


How many mm is 1 degree of rise?

A degree is an angular measure and cannot be measured in millimetres. A 1 degree rise can be interpreted as a ratio of a rise (in millimetres) per a distance of horizontal displacement.


What units is the horizontal sweep of an oscilloscope rated in?

The horizontal sweep of an oscilloscope is in time per division or seconds per division.


What does HSI stand for in the drilling industry?

In the field of oil/gas drilling, it refers to hydraulic horsepower per square inch.


When displacement per unit time is tripled the velocity increases by what factor?

If displacement per unit time is tripled, velocity will increase by a factor of 3. This is because velocity is directly proportional to displacement per unit time in a linear relationship.


Is the change in position of an object when compared to a reference point defined as speed?

No, the change in position of an object compared to a reference point is defined as displacement. Speed, on the other hand, is the rate at which an object covers distance in a specific direction, usually expressed as distance traveled per unit of time.


Give a scientific word for displacement per unit time?

velocity.


How much does drilling mud weigh?

Which projectile would hit the ground faster one projected at 20 meters per second horizontally or one projected at 20 meters per second in a direction other than horizontal no air?

If the non-horizontal projectile is launched abovehorizontal, thenit's the second one to hit the ground, after the horizontal one.If the non-horizontal one is launched below horizontal, then it'sthe first to hit the ground, before the horizontal one.


What is relation between displacement and time?

Displacement is the change in position of an object relative to a reference point. The relationship between displacement and time can be described by the object's velocity, which is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time. In a simplified case of constant velocity, displacement is directly proportional to time.


How do you calculate rate of penetration?

To calculate the rate of penetration (ROP) during drilling, divide the depth drilled by the time taken to drill to that depth. Depending on the measurement system in use at the drilling site, the ROP is usually expressed in minute per foot or feet per hour or minute per meter or meters per hour.
