Coiled Tubing Drilling (CTD) Milling Service Test

CTD milling is a specialized intervention technique used in oil and gas wells to remove obstructions, clean out debris, or mill through stuck objects such as scale, cement, or metal components. A CTD milling servicing test is conducted to evaluate the performance and reliability of the milling operation before deploying it in a live well […]

Mud Pipe Eplosion

A pipe explosion on an oil rig refers to a sudden and violent rupture of the mud circulation system, particularly the high-pressure pipes carrying drilling mud. This can lead to serious safety hazards, equipment damage, and even fatalities if not properly managed. Causes of a Mud Pipe Explosion:1.Excessive Pressure – When the mud pump generates […]

Formation Influx

What you see in this video an influx coming from formation to surface refers to the movement of fluids—such as hydrocarbons into the wellbore, reaching surface. This phenomenon is a key indicator of well control challenges and can occur under certain conditions. occurs when the pressure in the reservoir exceeds the pressure maintained in the […]

Function Test of Reamer Shoe Before Running Casing in Oil Well Drilling

Purpose and Importance of the Reamer Shoe:A reamer shoe is a specialized tool attached to the bottom of a casing string. Its primary functions include: Function Test Procedures for the Reamer Shoe:The function test of a reamer shoe involves several steps to ensure that it is operational before it is deployed downhole. The general procedure […]

Overflow in Oil Flare

In oil and gas production, an overflow in the oil flare can occur when increasing production and flow rates, leading to potential safety and environmental concerns. Here’s a breakdown of what happens and why: Causes of Overflow in Oil Flare Consequences of Overflow in Oil Flare: Mitigation and Prevention Strategies:

Oil-base Mud (OBM) and Backflow

Encountering oil-base mud (OBM) and backflow can be a concern. Backflow usually happens when the well is not properly balanced, meaning the hydrostatic pressure of the mud column is not sufficient to keep formation fluids from flowing back into the wellbore. Causes of Backflow with Oil-Based Mud: Mitigation and Solutions: Check and Adjust Mud Weight: […]
