2. Oil well control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_well_control

   1904 oil well fire at Bibi-Eibat (near Baku, Azerbaijan). Oil well control is one of the most important aspects of drilling operations. Improper handling of kicks in oil well control can result in blowouts with very grave consequences, including the loss of valuable resources and also lives of field personnel. Even though the cost of a blowout ...

3. Well control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_control

   Well control is the technique used in oil and gas operations such as drilling, well workover and well completion for maintaining the hydrostatic pressure and formation pressure to prevent the influx of formation fluids into the wellbore.

4. Completion (oil and gas wells) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completion_(oil_and_gas_wells)

   The tubing may also have flow control mechanism. Single-well concentric kill string: within the well a small diameter concentric kill string is used to circulate kill fluids when needed. Single-well 2-tubing completion: in this instance 2 tubing strings are inserted down 1 well. They are connected at the lower end by a circulating head.

5. Blowout (well drilling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_(well_drilling)

   In the modern petroleum industry, uncontrollable wells became known as blowouts and are comparatively rare. There has been significant improvement in technology, well control techniques, and personnel training which has helped to prevent their occurring. [1] From 1976 to 1981, 21 blowout reports are available. [1]

6. Well intervention - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_intervention

   Well intervention vessel Skandi Constructor. A well intervention, or well work, is any operation carried out on an oil or gas well during, or at the end of, its productive life that alters the state of the well or well geometry, provides well diagnostics, or manages the production of the well.

7. Deepwater well integrity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepwater_well_integrity

   Due to the use of low magnetic material oil pipes in deepwater oil and gas wells, the response time of the electromagnetic detector will be shortened, optimizing the detection process. Generally, when used together with acoustic acquisition tools and electromagnetic detectors, the detection and analysis of deepwater wellbore integrity will be ...

8. Petroleum engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_engineering

   Example of a map used by reservoir engineers to determine where to drill a well. This screenshot is of a structure map generated by contour map software for an 8500 ft deep gas and oil reservoir in the Earth field, Vermilion Parish, Erath, Louisiana. The left-to-right gap near the top of the contour map indicates a fault line. This fault line ...

9. Snubbing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snubbing

   The first snubbing unit was primarily designed to work in well control situations to "snub" drill pipe and or casing into, or out of, a well bore when conventional well killing methods could not be used. Unlike conventional drilling and completions operations, snubbing can be performed with the well still under pressure (not killed). When done ...
