  2. Extended reach drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Reach_Drilling

    Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) is directional drilling of very long non-vertical wells. The aims of ERD are: a) to reach a larger area from one surface drilling location, and b) to keep a well in a reservoir for a longer distance in order to maximize its productivity and drainage capability.

  3. Reservoir engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_engineering

    Reservoir engineers could use the map as a part of their well drill planning. Reservoir engineering is a branch of petroleum engineering that applies scientific principles to the fluid flow through a porous medium during the development and production of oil and gas reservoirs so as to obtain a high economic recovery.

    The Los Angeles machine defined in the standard is a simple ball mill of specified size and shape [3] The standard charge of rock is set at 2.5–5 kilograms (5.5–11.0 lb) depending on the size of the particles. [4]

  8. Offshore geotechnical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_geotechnical...

    Geotechnical surveys involve a combination of sampling, drilling, in situ testing as well as laboratory soil testing that is conducted offshore and, with samples, onshore. They serve to ground truth the results of the geophysical investigations; they also provide a detailed account of the seabed stratigraphy and soil engineering properties. [23]
