In this section we will discuss about the processes of finding,drilling and production of oil.
Oil is a fossil fuel that can be found in many countries around theworld.
Oil is formed from the remains of tiny plants and animals(plankton) that died in ancient seas between 10 million and 600million years ago. After the organisms died, they sank into the
sand and mud at the bottom of the sea.
Over the years, the organisms decayed in the sedimentary layers.In these layers, there was little or no oxygen present. Somicroorganisms broke the remains into carbon-rich compoundsthat formed organic layers.

Movements in the Earth trapped the oil and natural gas in the reservoirrocks between layers of impermeable rock, or cap rock, such as granite
or marble.

These movements of the Earth include:
Folding - Horizontal movements press inward and move the rocklayers upward into a fold or anticline.
Faulting - The layers of rock crack, and one side shifts upward ordownward.
Pinching out - A layer of impermeable rock is squeezed upward into the
reservoir rock.

gas (blue) can be trapped by folding

Finally, and most commonly, it is used seismology, creating shockwaves that pass through hidden rock layers and interpreting the waves
that are reflected back to the surface.
In seismic surveys, a shock wave is created by the following;
Compressed-air gun - shoots pulses of air into the water (for explorationover water)
Thumper truck - slams heavy plates into the ground (for exploration overland)
Explosives - drilled into the ground (for exploration over land) or thrownoverboard (for exploration over water), and detonated.
The shock waves travel beneath the surface of the Earth and arereflected back by the various rock layers. The reflections travel atdifferent speeds depending upon the type or density of rock layersthrough which they must pass.

The task of finding oil is assigned to geologists.
Their task is to find the right conditions for an oil trap the rightsource rock, reservoir rock and entrapment.
Many years ago, geologists interpreted surface features, surface rockand soil types, and perhaps some small core samples obtained by
shallow drilling.
Modern oil geologists also examine surface rocks and terrain, with theadditional help of satellite images.
However, it can be used a variety of other methods to find oil such as;
Sensitive gravity meters to measure tiny changes in the Earthsgravitational field that could indicate flowing oil,
Sensitive magnetometers to measure tiny changes in the Earths magneticfield caused by flowing oil,
Sniffers (sensitive electronic noses) to detect the smell of hydrocarbons.

The reflections of the shock waves are detected by sensitivemicrophones or vibration detectors hydrophones over water,seismometers over land. The readings are interpreted by seismologistsfor signs of oil and gas traps.

Although modern oil-exploration methods are better than previous
ones, they still may have only a 10-percent success rate for finding newoil fields.
Once a prospective oil strike is found, the location is marked by GPS
coordinates on land or by marker buoys on water.

Once the site has been selected, it must be surveyed to determine its
boundaries, and environmental impact studies may be done.
Lease agreements, titles and right-of way accesses for the land must
be obtained and evaluated legally. For off-shore sites, legal jurisdiction
must be determined.
Once the legal issues have been settled, the crew goes about preparingthe land:
The land is cleared and leveled, and access roads may be built.
As the main component of drilling mud is water , there must be a source
of water nearby. If there is no natural source, they drill a water well.
Pumps & water lines are installed.
They dig a reserve pit, which is used to dispose of rock cuttings and
drilling mud during the drilling process, and line it with plastic to protect
the environment.
If the site is an ecologically sensitive area, such as a marsh or wilderness,
then the cuttings and mud must be disposed offsite trucked away insteadof placed in a pit.

Once the land has been prepared, several holes must be dug to make
way for the rig and the main hole. A rectangular pit, called a cellar, isdug around the location of the actual drilling hole.
The first part of holes is a large diameter hole in the cellar. It is lined
with large diameter pipe called conductor pipe.
Another hole is dug off to the side of the cellar and is lined with pipe.It is called the rat hole ( as a place to temporarily store a piece of drill
stream).

MOVING RIG COMPONENTS TO THE SITE (Land Rigs )
Cranes, Trucks and river crafts are used
depending on location of the site.
Rig components are designed for portability
are easily loaded & unloaded. Oil Field
Trucks, Cranes & other trucks are used for
carrying rig components.
Rig components are moved into some
remote area by helicopters.

MOVING RIG COMPONENTS TO THE SITE
( Offshore Rigs )
Mobile offshore rigs ( such as jackup rig,
submersible rig, semisubmersible rig,
and drill ship ) are used at offshore
blocks.Jackup Rig floats when moving to thelocation. At site, huge legs are cranked
down until they contact the sea floor
and penetrate some feets into the
seabed. Jackup rigs are limited to drill
in water depth of 350 ft.
Submersible Rig It floats on the hullwhile towing to the site. The hulls are
flooded and come to rest on bottom at
the site. S Rigs are also limited to drill
in shallow waters.

MOVING RIG COMPONENTS TO THE
SITE ( Offshore Rigs )
Semisubmersible Rig It issimilar to submersible. It may
have two or more hulls upon
which the rig floats while towingto the location. Once on location
the hulls are flooded but they do
not settle to the bottom. They
submerge only to a depth a little
below the water surface.
Semisubmersible Rigs are often
selected because of their
excellent stability in rough, deep
seas.

Drill Ship It is shaped just like any ocean-going ship. Howeverdrilling equipment ( with other modification ) make a drill ship
distinctive. Drill ships are the most mobile because of its self-
propelled function.

Swivel: a mechanical device that suspends the weight of the drillstring, & permits the drill string to rotate. The rotary hose ( kellyhose ) is attached to the side of swivel and drilling mud enters theswivel through this hose.
Drill Bit : is a device attached to the end of the drill string thatbreaks apart the rock being drilled. It contains jets through whichthe drilling fluid exits.
Drill String : The assembly of members between the swivel and
drill bit including kelly,drill pipe and drill collars.Kelly : four- or six-sided pipe that transfers rotary motion of therotary table to the drill string. Kellys are about 40 feet long.

Drill Pipe: joints of hollow tubing used to
connect the surface equipment to thebottom hole assembly (BHA) and acts as aconduit for the drilling fluid. In thediagram, these are stands of drill pipewhich are 2 or 3 joints of drill pipeconnected together and stood in the derrickvertically, usually to save time while
Tripping pipe.A joint of drill pipe is 30 ft long. Each endof each joint is threaded. The female end iscalled box and the male end is called pin . These threaded ends are called tooljoints which are welded onto the outsideof the drill pipe body.
Drill Collars : are special heavy-walledpipes. They are heavier than drill pipes andused on the bottom part of the drill stringto put weight on the bit. The threads arecut directly onto and in the drill collars asthe wall is so thick.

Rotary Table (turntable) - rotates the drill string along with theattached tools and bit. It is part of the drilling apparatus and powered
by electric motors or chain drive.Mud pump: reciprocal type of pump used to circulate drilling fluidthrough the system.
Mud tanks: often called mud pits, provides a reserve store of drillingfluid until it is required down the well bore. It pumps drilling mud(mixture of water, clay, weighting material and chemicals, used to lift
rock cuttings from the drill bit to the surface) under pressure throughthe kelly, rotary table, drill pipes and drill collars.
Shale shaker: separates drill cuttings from the drilling fluid before itis pumped back down the borehole.

Centrifuge: an industrial version of the
device that separates fine silt and sandfrom the drilling fluid.
Degasser: a device that separates air
and/or gas from the drilling fluid.
Desander / desilter: contains a set of
Hydrocyclones that separate sand andsilt from the drilling fluid.
Blowout preventer (BOP) - high-pressure
valves (located under the land rig or on
the sea floor) that seal the high-
pressure drill lines and relieve pressurewhen necessary to prevent a blowout
(uncontrolled gush of gas or oil to the
surface, often associated with fire)

out of the borehole.
Chain tongs: wrench with a section of chain, that wraps aroundwhatever is being tightened or loosened. Similar to a pipe wrench.
