What is the difference between and oil rig and an oil platform?
An oil rig is an oil platform or oil production platform. A drilling is different though.
Is an oil production platform renewable?
No, an oil production platform is not renewable. It is used to extract finite fossil fuel resources from the earth and is not a sustainable or renewable source of energy. Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power.
What are the reasons for crankcase explosion?
high temperature due to the reciprocating movement of the piston, increase in bearing temperatures, sparks entering the crankcase due to leaky piston rings or piston blow past, fires in the adjacent scavenge trunks. Now, when these hot spots come in contact with the oil in the crankcase, the oil gets vaporised. When these vaporised particles travel to the cooler part of the crankcase they get condensed into a white mist which has oil particles properly dispensed in it. The process that takes place is some what similar to atomization. This white mist when again travels to the hot spot area, can easily catch fire, which might also lead to an explosion. The fire or the explosion create immense pressure inside the crankcase and if this pressure crosses the permissible limit, crankcase explosion takes place. The explosion will rupture the crankcase doors and even cause heavy damage to the inside of the engine.
What is function of breather and explosion vent of 3 phase transformer?
breather to observed moisture from the tank and explosion vent will works when the moisture will get observed in the tank then it will explodes from the explosion vent by breaking diaphgramAnswerThe breather allows air to enter and leave the transformer's sealed tank as the transformer oil contracts or expands. The breather is fitted with a silicon-gel chamber to ensure that any air entering the tank is dry. A viewing portal allows the viewer to determine whether the silicon gel crystals are still active.The explosion vent is a large-diameter tube, usually located at the top of the transformer tank, sealed with a frangible plate or diaphragm. Should an explosion occur within the transformer due, for example, to a catastrophic short-circuit fault, then the blast of the explosion will be allowed to escape through the explosion vent, rather than causing the transformer's tank to explode.
How do oil rigs function?
There are basically 2 types of rigs. 1) Drilling Rig The function of this rig is drilling a well down to the production zone then installs a casing in it. There are various types for offshore drilling and there are types for onshore drilling. 2) Production Platform (Offshore) The function of this rig is for producing oil. It consists of not only a single well like on an onshore pad, but I have seen platforms with 20 to 50 wells. They are not drilled straight down like most onshore wells, but they are deviated and get drilled in and arc, away from the platform and ends up being somewhat horizontal. Wells can be anything from 1000+ and up to a few thousand feet deep. A work-over rig on the platform uses equipment to perforate the casing at the desired production zone and a screen is installed to minimize sand flowing into the well. Pumps are installed into wells to produce the oil. Depending on how far the platform is located from land, a pipe line can tranport the oil to land or in most cases where platforms are to far offshore, the surrounding platforms pump the oil to a FPSO which is basically a huge oil tanker that transfers oil to oil tanker ships. Onshore operations are different. A well is drilled and a wellhead is installed. Piping from the wellhead leads to a manifold which is connected to the surrounding wells. From there oil gets pumped to gathering stations then to refineries.
When did Hub Oil explosion happen?
Hub Oil explosion happened in 1999.
Has anyone died from the oil spill?
When the oil spill occured the explosion killed 11 platform workers and injured 17 others
Why do oil spills happen?
oil spills happen because people are careless and and instead of emptying there tank they dump it in the ocean and cars driving on beaches.
What is the difference between and oil rig and an oil platform?
An oil rig is an oil platform or oil production platform. A drilling is different though.
How did the people die from the oil spill?
There were 11 people that died on the drilling platform when the blowout took place. They died in the fire and explosion. 17 others were injured.
