The Shelburne Basin Venture Exploration Drilling Project is an exploratory hydrocarbon drilling program by Shell Canada, the subsidiary of Shell plc in the Shelburne basin approximately 250 kilometers offshore, South of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Shell Canada has proposed up to seven exploration wells within six exploration licenses over a four-year ...
The Jeanne d'Arc Basin is located about 340 km to the southeast from the Island of Newfoundland, Canada. The geological region is defined by an offshore sedimentary basin covering an area greater than 6000 km 3 and 20 km in depth. [2] Hydrocarbon exploration first began during the 1960s by Amoco and Imperial Oil. Exploration wells indicated the ...
The Shell in situ conversion process (Shell ICP) uses electrical heating elements for heating the oil shale layer to between 340 and 370 °C (650 and 700 °F) over a period of approximately four years. [49] The processing area is isolated from surrounding groundwater by a freeze wall consisting of wells filled with a circulating super-chilled ...
Offshore oil drilling and production at Hibernia, Terra Nova, and White Rose fields off the coast of Newfoundland; Offshore gas drilling and production on Sable Island fields off the coast of Nova Scotia; Sporadic drilling along continental shelf off Nova Scotia (e.g. Shelburne Basin) Sporadic drilling in Laurentian fan at southern end of Cabot ...
Simplified process flow diagram. A plant is receiving a multi phased flow of oil and gas from many wells via a manifold. Flow from one well only may be taken to the test separator (shaded). The test separator has the feature to separate gas and water from the oil, and to have each component measured, under different conditions.
Well completion is the process of making a well ready for production (or injection) after drilling operations. This principally involves preparing the bottom of the hole to the required specifications, running in the production tubing and its associated down hole tools as well as perforating and stimulating as required.
Offshore drilling is a mechanical process where a wellbore is drilled below the seabed. It is typically carried out in order to explore for and subsequently extract petroleum that lies in rock formations beneath the seabed.
Wells are created by drilling down into an oil or gas reserve and if necessary equipped with extraction devices such as pumpjacks. Creating the wells can be an expensive process, costing at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, and costing much more when in difficult-to-access locations, e.g., offshore.
