Oil viscosity depends on it's temperature. The higher the oil temperature is, leads to higher viscosity and low flow resistance. Cold oil temperature leads to lower viscosity and higher flow resistance

How do you stop the gulf oil flow?

It isn't easy. The BP oil spill results from uncontrollable flow (a blow out) from a well. The oil flows from a reservoir about 13,000 ft below the sea floor. The oil is flowing at very high pressure. The well's opening is about 5,000 ft below the surface of the water. BP understood that they could stop the oil from coming out of the well, if they drilled another well (called a relief well) that intersected the blown out well. They also knew that it would be faster if they could stop it from the top. They were able to stop it from the top by attaching a "stand alone riser", which is a pipe with some big valves, to the well. This stopped the well from flowing but it wasn't the permanent answer. The permanent answer was to drill the relief well, and pump a lot of cement in the bottom of the blown out well. This way the oil can not leave the reservoir and no more oil can flow from the well.


What is the definition of Displacement efficiency in petroleum Engineering for oil reservoir?

The displacement efficiency refers to the fraction of the oil in place that is swept from a unit volume of the reservoir. Displacement efficiency is a function of fluid viscosities and the relative permeability characteristics of the reservoir rock (mobility ratio), of the “wettability” of the rock, and of pore geometry.


What does spudding an oil well mean?

Spudding an oil well refers to the beginning stage of drilling a well. A drill creates a hole in the surface, and then casing and cement are placed inside to keep the groundwater safe. After that hole is done, the primary drill bit is used to dig further the entire depth.

What is oil viscocity all about?

Viscosity refers to the way in which oil will flow under certain conditions. Cold oil will flow slowly, hot oil much faster. It is the extent to which the substance resists a tendency to flow
