Crude oil properties are important for us to understand what they mean and how they will affect us. The most commonly measured properties of crude oil are specific gravity or API gravity, viscosity, color, and odor.
This video training will teach you all basic information about crude oil properties so you will know and be able to quickly differentiate crude oil. Addtionally, we also provide you full video transcript which may help someone to effectively learn from this training material.
We are working in oil and gas industry and many times we see many media, NGO’s, people want to ban oil forever. They make themselves look like heroes when they want to save the earth. However, this is totally impractical as you know. The Oil and Gas Industry is one of the biggest businesses in the world and without oil and gas industry many businesses will not be able to operate. People are a consumer of oil & gas both direct and indirect way, so we are relying on this industry.
If you meet people who think oil and gas is a bad business for them so you need to tell them to stop using oil and any related products. It is very simple! Following are few easy steps which you can show them in order to stop Oil & Gas industry and make positive impact on the climate change. Continue reading
One of my friends shares this slide, An Introduction to Oil & Gas Drilling and Well Operations. This slide is the educational material from the IOM3 Oil and Gas Division, UK (http://www.iom3.org/). This is show all the basic of drilling and well operation in very simple language term. Additionally, there are several images which help explain content in this document clearly. This is a very good document when you try to explain overall drilling and well operation to new team members who don’t have much oilfield experience. The subjects covered in this presentation are as follow;
•Why we drill wells
•The well life cycle
•UK Legislation
•Well construction:-
−Well design and construction
−Rig types
−Pipe handling and the drill string
−Drilling and drill bits
−Drilling fluid
−Cementing (including plugging and abandonment)
−Blowout preventer
−Directional drilling
•Well testing and evaluation
•Well completion
•Xmas tree
•Well intervention
•Well integrity
Some of contents are shown below;
We initially think that they might look pretty smooth tubular with perforated holes and down hole tools. Until we’ve seen these footage, you will be amazed how the technology can help you to look into down hole. They are excellent VDOs because they demonstrate the well conditions in various situations. You can see down hole tools (packer, side pocket mandrel, etc), perforated holes, damaged casing, hole shape, tubular conditions, etc. What’s more, down hole camera can demonstrate how oil and gas wells produce. With this application, it will help oil companies to identify the well production issue more accurately. Continue reading
