somewhere around five thousand feet below the surface.
Oil is found underwater, deep down in the ground, between layer of the subsurface or in porous rock among other things.
The deepest oil well in Montana is approximately 25,000 feet deep. This depth allows for drilling into multiple underground rock layers to access oil reserves.
The well was located deep underwater, making it challenging to access and control. The blowout preventer, a safety device designed to stop the flow of oil in emergencies, failed to activate properly. This, combined with the complex nature of deep-sea drilling and the sheer volume of oil escaping, contributed to the prolonged effort to stop the leak.
yes, absolutely!!
I believe that it was BPs fault. They admited on live news that the oil spilt was their oil and that they are doing their best to clean up as much oil as possible. But it wasn't fully BPs fault, i think that i heard the news say that they "hit some coral" or something im not very sure but if that is the case then it wasn't entirely their fault.
Oil often seeps to the surface, but when it is deep in the earth it is pumped out through an oil well.
i dey ask u
An underwater oil rig does not exist, but semi-submersible rigs do. The pay rates are the same as other types of offshore oil rigs.
When oil is leaked out of an oil container like the BP when an underwater oil line broke
Oil wells in Texas can range in depth from a few thousand feet to over 10,000 feet deep. The depth of the well depends on the specific geology of the area and the target reservoir for oil extraction. Some wells in Texas can even extend beyond 20,000 feet deep.
Yes, it is.
The ocean floor is about 5,000 feet below the surface. The oil reservoir was drilled another 13,000 feet from that point. An extensive subsea cloud of oil from the well has been confirmed by NOAA. The formation of clouds is a new phenomena requiring research. The use of dispersants subsea may be factor as well as the near freezing temperatures at the sea floor. The cloud is extensive but the concentration of oil droplets in these clouds is low. "Dispersed oil tends not to float but instead falls below the surface and drifts at mid-depths" - quote from Yahoo! news.
