Land Rig Move Planning New Location Preparation Rig Move Safety Meeting The Safety Meeting Should Be attended by all the crews, meeting should be done every morning of rig move and supervised by drilling supervisor, STP & Safety officer Responsibilities Onshore Rig Move Operations A network plan for the movement of the electrical rig is …
We usually use a calibrated trip tank in drilling to measure mud volumes accurately and change mud volumes while tripping. It must be available on all rigs & must have a level indicator easily readable from the driller’s position. Such an indicator must be accurate to within one-half barrel volume. It is unsafe to trip …
Before discussing drilling parameters, practices, and guidelines for drilling performance optimization, reviewing the basic concepts of Weight Indicator, Torque, and Limits is beneficial. Basic Concepts Of Drilling Parameters Optimization For Oil & Gas Wells Operations Weight Indicator The weight indicator, often referred to as the `Martin Decker‘, is the most essential instrument for the driller …
When manufactured, the new drill pipe will be subjected by the manufacturer to a series of mechanical, tensile, and hydrostatic pressure tests & inspections by API Specifications 5A and 5AX. This will ensure that the pipe can withstand specified loads. A joint of drill pipe will however be used in several wells. When it has …
The tripping pipe can be defined as running in or pulling out of the hole with the drill string. In this article, we have prepared a complete guide for who needs to learn its operations on the surface and who needs to understand its procedures to prevent any unforeseen problems. During such trips, the potential …
The conductor pipe runs from the seafloor/surface to relatively shallow depths, providing a conduit to allow circulation of drilling fluid and case off unconsolidated formations. It is the first string we use to support well control equipment, typically a drilling diverter. A standard size for the conductor casing pipe is 24″, 26″, or 30″. In …
The well Abandonment process is a necessary operation on oil & gas wells in certain circumstances, such as dry wells and wells, which will be completed later. In this article, we shall explain the standard procedures for doing well plugging and abandonment in oil and gas wells. Note : This procedures are to be a …

Several procedures are available for improving mud displacements in any oil rig or gas rig and they need to be considered when planning a displacement in order to prevent or minimize fluid contamination. However, operational factors may restrict the use of some of the following procedures: 1 Direct and Indirect Mud / Fluid Displacements The …
The purpose of these BOP & Well Control drills procedures or exercises is to familiarize rig personnel with the various equipment and with the techniques that will be employed in the event of a Well Kick. Here, we explain all well control drills including trip drill procedure, pit drill in drilling, H2S drill, Emergency drills, …
