If I understood this correctly the platform that blew up was a drilling platform and it was just drilling and not producing. It seems that there are two types. One is for drilling only and the other is for production. So, this means it was still being drilled. Right now there are 33 producing platforms in the Gulf and several drilling ones. BP is planning a new drilling platform in the Arctic that is 2 miles below and then will go 8 miles sideways. Makes you wonder why they have approval.
There are two main types of onshore drilling. Percussion, or 'cable tool' drilling, consists of raising and dropping a heavy metal bit into the ground, effectively punching a hole down through the earth. Cable tool drilling is usually used for shallow, low pressure formations. The second drilling method is known as rotary drilling, and consists of a sharp, rotating metal bit used to drill through the Earth's crust. This type of drilling is used primarily for deeper wells, which may be under high pressure.
It can either be one word (seashell) or two (sea shell)
sometimes when we are drilling we need to use drilling fluid which are mixture of two phase like oil and gas or water and oil. In such case the fluid which is running outside is known as continuous phase of drilling fluid.
"Seashell" is typically written as one word, not two separate words.
To find the center of a circle for drilling, you can use a compass to draw two intersecting lines across the circle. The point where the lines meet is the center of the circle. You can then mark this point for drilling.
yes, it has two words in it. "sea" and "side". :)
Yes, the word "platform" is a compound word. A compound word is formed by combining two or more words to create a new word with a distinct meaning. In the case of "platform," it is formed by combining "plat" and "form," where "plat" refers to a flat surface and "form" refers to a structure or shape.
When two words are spelled differently but sound the same, they are homophones. Examples include "sea" and "see," "right" and "write," and "bare" and "bear."
Springboard and platform.
Seaweed is spelled as one word, not separated into two words.
The correct spelling is one word starfish, or two words for the name sea star.
