Offshore Oil Rigs and Platforms

Cairn Energy discovered oil in the Mangla field in Rajasthan within the sedimentary basin of the Rajasthan Block, specifically in the Thar Desert region. The geological setting features a combination of sedimentary rocks, predominantly of the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous age, which are conducive to hydrocarbon generation and accumulation. The area includes a series of faulted structures and traps that have enabled the entrapment of oil reserves. These geological conditions, along with the presence of source rocks, have made Mangla a significant site for oil exploration.

They dont extract it. They give it a way out. The earths pressure forces it out

I got hired for a Rig Clerk/Radio Operator offshore. The best advice I can give you, is become a Dispatcher for 911, delivery, telecommunications, trucking, or logistics. This experience should help get you hired.

You can drive cars and DESTROY them and also can fly planes,drive boats, drive Monster Trucks, And much more. I recommend it

I bought mine (original white) about 4 years ago for $199. However, the new versions are about $130, but if you want the old pair with raised O's you'll need to spend up to $400 because they are not in production anymore.

That was a pretty inane answer. Tongs are the very large tools used on a derrick to tighten and loosen the drill pipes and collars etc . They are usually manipulated by the roustabouts during pipe changes or additions. Imagine a pair of grips that are at least 5 feet long and are tensioned by a winch operated by the driller on an oil rig "floor" . Most times a chain is used to do the initial tightening of the pipe joint but Tongs are needed for the final pinch up torques need to keep the keep the joint toght.

Diesel fuel does not have lead added, but it is not the same as unleaded gasoline.

This may sound crazy, but at an oakley store they do this if you return them to tell if they are real. The logos are solid and will not scratch easily. But the crazy thing is to take the arm of the glasses and twist it hard. If they are real, they will pop right off no problem, its how they are made, to break under impact. But if they are fake you will snap the arm right off and it will be broken. So if you dont care too much if they are fake, I wouldnt do it. But if you want to know if they are it is a sure fire way to tell. It is something simple that the fakers cant do right.

Liner is basically a kind of casing the main difference b/w liner and ordinary casing is that , the ordinary casing extends from surface to particular depth but in case of liner it does not extend from surface to particular depth but it attaches with the last part of the above casing .For example if you have drilled TD of 15000 ft and you have to install a liner at the bottom and suppose the liner length is 200ft.All the other casings will be installed from surface to to its particular desire depth but liner will be installed at the bottom of the other casings .

Advantages

1.Economics: you save the cost of 14800 ft of steel or aluminum .

2.Reducing the pressure at the surface: If you install a liner having a length of 15000 ft it will produce a lot of pressure on the surface .

Oil field pushrod pumps ("donkey pumps") are reciprocating piston pumps. The long rod attached to the nodding head of the donkey pump extends down the well pipe. At the bottom of the pipe, an attached piston is moved up and down by the motion of the rod. The piston is fitted with a one-way valve, and the bottom of the pipe is also fitted with a one-way valve. As the piston descends, its valve (the "travelling valve") opens, allowing oil to pass through into the space above the piston. At the same time, the valve at the bottom of the well pipe (the "standing valve") closes, so that no oil is pushed out the bottom of the pipe. When the piston begins to rise, the travelling valve closes so that the oil now above it is lifted up the well pipe...while the standing valve now opens, allowing more oil from underground to be sucked into the bottom of the well pipe. The process repeats, with each upward stroke of the pump delivering around one to ten gallons of liquid...oil, possibly with some water mixed in.

Harsh environment rigs are designed to operate in extreme conditions, such as high temperatures, deep-sea pressures, or corrosive environments, and are built with materials and technologies that enhance durability and reliability. In contrast, moderate environment rigs function in less severe conditions, allowing for lighter materials and simpler designs, which can lead to lower operational costs. Additionally, harsh environment rigs often require advanced safety features and specialized equipment to ensure safe operation, while moderate rigs may prioritize efficiency and speed. Overall, the main differences lie in their construction, operational requirements, and cost implications.

It varies depending on the company. I have made $100,000 a year working 14 days on and 7 days off. Drillers make around $140,000 working this schedule year round. The overtime is the main reason as most days or nights are 15-16 hours. If you were to work a full year on a rig the range would be $60,000-$110,000 depending on the company and job title.

Originally steamboat cabins and decks were named after states. Since Texas was the largest state, the largest cabin or deck was named the Texas. This nautical use of Texas may be why the Texas deck on oil rigs is named this way.

There are many things to consider when drilling a water well. Here are a few questions to ask yourself.

1. How much is a typical well in my area? Neighbors are a great resource and local well drilling companies.

2. Is public water available? Is it cheap and readily accessible?

3. Is my well drilling contractor licensed and insured?

4. What type of demand do I need, how much GPM?

5. What kind of pressure do I need, how much PSI?

6. Is there possible contaminants in my aquifer? If so, what type of water system will be needed? They can be very costly.

Hope this helps. For residential wells, local drillers are better. They know the area and are familiar with the drilling.

Gents,

Hope you like my reply.Myself krunal Shinde workig in oilfield as Materials Man since 2005.

Materials man itself suggest the important key for the rigs, for eg. if you have slips without dies (So you can't do any thing) just like mouth without teeth.

Short word but its importance is too high.

Regards,

Shinde

its a lie there isnt any

more than a lot

communication between ships and rigs + between the staff and as well as with the company worked for.

It does depend on the requirements of the company operating the oil rig.

But most do not require a GED, rather some past experience, or a willingness to train with a supervisor.

they vary the pay if an e-1 gets up to $1500 to $3500 a day it all depends on how many power busters they acomplished.

I'm not sure if you are referring to money or oil production but, it all depends on the amount of wells and actual oil producing capability of every well on the Oil rig (also known as a production platform).

It can produce volumes of around <500 BPD (Barrels/Day) and can exceed 15 000 BPD. There are also multiple wells on a single rig. So, if you have for eg. 40 wells producing an average of 5000 BPD between them on a single platform, you are looking at 200 000 BPD which could add up to $20 000 000 per day. You have to keep in mind that these operations are extremely expensive to run and the exploration and drilling operations cost billions even before any oil was produced.

The oil production of every single well decreases over time and profits decrease.

There are a few ways. Rigs or oil platforms are linked together by pipelines. From there it could run all the way to shore to a facility and back to a station where it gets pumped into an oil tanker ship. From the platforms the pipelines could also run to a man-made island station or FPSO (A floating production, storage and offloading vessel) where it could be pumped into oil tanker ships.
