Artificial Lifting Systems for Oil & Gas Wells
✅️ Artificial lifting is a process used in oil wells to increase pressure inside the base and lift oil to the surface. When the natural conductive energy of the landfill is not strong enough to push oil onto the surface, artificial lifting is used to recover more production. ✅️ Even those wells that initially have […]
Workover Rigs Overview
With the pass the time the activities of well workover acquire each be important, is not equal drill a well where the economic investment of the project is biggest, where at the same time be need approval of exploration and production permits as well as environmental permits and the complexity that means drill a well […]
Drilling Problems and Solutions
During drilling operations, some type of a drilling problem will almost certainly occur, even in very carefully planned wells. The reason is that geological conditions for two wells that are near each other may differ (nonhomogeneous formation); therefore, different problems can be encountered. The key to success in achieving well objectives is to design drilling […]
How Long Does It Take to Drill an Oil Well?
Drilling an oil well can take anywhere from 15 days to 12 months, sometimes longer. The amount of time it takes depends on a number of different factors, including the depth of the well and whether it’s on land or offshore. Whether the well is being drilled using vertical or directional drilling also plays a role […]
