Wellhead installation is one of the most critical operations during the construction of an oil and gas well. The wellhead provides structural support for casing strings, seals the annular spaces, and creates a pressure control point that ensures well integrity throughout drilling and production. The installation process involves several stages:-Conductor and surface casing head installation […]

Watching this operation reminds us how critical precision and teamwork are at the rig site. Pulling out of hole with tubing isn’t just about removing pipe from the wellbore — it’s about maintaining well control, ensuring safety, and protecting equipment. Every connection, every stand pulled, requires:-Coordination between rig floor crews-Strict adherence to procedures-Real-time communication for […]

The roughneck’s job is one of the toughest and most important on the drilling rig. They are the backbone of operations — handling pipes, tools, and equipment with strength, skill, and precision. Beyond the hard work, they carry a big responsibility: keeping the operation moving safely and efficiently. Without roughnecks, no rig can run. Respect […]

It drilled about 500 feet of blue clays and unconsolidated sands, and this video shows the condition it was in afterward. From the wear patterns and general appearance, it’s clear the rebuild quality was far from ideal. Key issues observed:-Poor quality inserts and dull cutters-Evidence of uneven wear and possible balance issues-Likely insufficient quality control […]

In drilling operations, every second counts during a well control event.The Stab-A valve is a small but critical piece of safety equipment designed to protect both crew and well. Purpose:A drill pipe safety valve that can be quickly stabbed into the top of the drill string during a kick to prevent uncontrolled flow from the […]

Recently faced an ESP shutdown due to a broken pump shaft. This type of failure stops production instantly and often points to deeper issues such as:-Bearing wear or seizure causing shaft fatigue-Excessive vibration from imbalance, sand, or gas locking-Abrasive or corrosive fluid damage-Torsional overload from pump blockage Key lessons:-Monitor motor amps, vibration, and performance trends […]

In this video we observe a critical issue on the rig floor where the drawworks drum is overheating or possibly burning due to excessively high rotation speed What likely happenedThe drawworks which controls the raising and lowering of the drill string appears to have been operated at unsafe RPMs This may be caused by-Sudden release […]

After a well is drilled and completed, we need to know what’s coming up from downhole. That’s where flowback begins. Flowback is the process of letting fluids (mud, water, gas, oil, and sometimes sand) flow back to the surface after stimulation or pressure testing.It helps us check well integrity, clean out the wellbore, and measure […]

Natural gas plays a crucial role in the global energy mix — but how do we actually get it from deep underground to your stove or power plant? Here’s a simplified step-by-step look at the process:
