Coiled tubing has become as an essential tool for oil and gas industry, known for its capacity to perform a wide array of well intervention operations without the need to kill the well or remove the production tubing. As exploration is moving deeper into harsh environments, the deployment of coiled tubing in High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) wells presents…
Oil transportation, whether through pipelines, tankers, rail or road, is crucial in the global supply chain of energy. However, it also poses substantial risks for personnel, communities, and the environment. Transport accidents can result in massive spills, fires, and even explosions. Thus, comprehensive safety training is a critical element to ensure efficient, safe, and legally compliant oil transportation operations. Why Safety Training…
The oil and gas industry is the most challenging and dangerous of all industries, where minor errors can lead to catastrophic accidents. State-of-the-art oil drilling animation has now emerged as an essential tool in training, planning, and safety protocols to mitigate these risks. With visualization of the drilling process animation, workers and engineers can be informed…
Well control training is essential for anyone working in the oil and gas industry, particularly drilling personnel, engineers, and supervisors. It provides safety, prevents blowouts, and keeps operations at an effective level. Within this article, we talk about everything you need to know about well control training, ranging from different well control courses to why…
In the oil and gas industry, ensuring the highest level of production is often a matter of intervention in existing wells. The two most frequently employed technologies for well intervention are hydraulic workover units and snubbing units. While they share several operational similarities, notably in their capacity to work under pressure, however, they differ in their designs, capability, safety, and range of applications. Knowing the…
In the constantly evolving field of oil and gas well intervention, the combined use of coiled tubing and snubbing has emerged as an effective and versatile method to tackle the most difficult downhole challenges. Through using the strengths of both technologies, operators are able to perform a wider range of operations under pressure, reducing non-productive time and enhancing safety and efficiency. What is Coiled Tubing…
In oil and gas exploration, the way a well is drilled can make or break the project, affecting everything from speed and safety to the final cost. Balanced drilling has recently moved to the spotlight because it controls underground pressure almost perfectly, reducing the risk of blowouts or lost circulation. So, what exactly is balanced…
Wireline logging is a must-have step in oil and gas projects. It sends special tools down a borehole to collect clear data about rock layers, show where hydrocarbons sit, and help teams fine-tune how much oil or gas a well can produce. In this post, we’ll break down what wireline logging is, walk through its…
Offshore oil and gas exploration is one of the most dangerous working conditions in the world, and the crew safety on offshore rigs has become of paramount matter of concern. To meet the growing regulatory requirements and the ever-growing complex offshore operations, safety engineers and designers are continually innovating to develop new designs that significantly enhance the crew’s safety on offshore rigs. This…
The prevention of blowouts during offshore drilling operations is both multifaceted and extremely difficult. As with any drill activity, there are safety protocols in place to avoid unfortunate accidents, but they can be very costly in terms of time and money when dealing with high-pressure subsea wells, making safety essential for success. This article describes the…
