On the rig floor, “throwing in slips” is a routine but critical step. Slips are wedge-shaped tools set into the rotary table to grip and hold the drill pipe while making or breaking connections. This simple action supports the entire drill string and ensures safety during tripping and pipe handling. It may look like just […]

In Sumatra, Indonesia, locals are drilling for oil right in their own backyards.No modern rigs. No billion-dollar budgets. Just handmade wells, simple pumps, and pure determination. What’s even more striking — they don’t just produce the oil, they also refine it themselves, using small-scale, homemade distillation setups. Crude oil is boiled in makeshift drums, separated […]

Real-time wireline logging is reshaping formation evaluation by providing instant access to downhole data while the tools are still in the wellbore. This capability reduces uncertainty, improves safety, and supports faster decision-making. How it works-Tools run on electric line transmit live data such as resistivity, porosity, density, sonic velocity, and formation pressure directly to surface […]

On this project: validate cement quality across long laterals and prepare each well for fracture initiation at the toe with a consistent, low-NPT wireline workflow. RCBL – We deployed radial cement bond logging to evaluate cement integrity in 360°, confirming top of cement, identifying channeling or micro-annulus, and tying in at stage collars and build […]

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 […]
