2. Drilling engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_engineering

   Drilling engineering is a subset of petroleum engineering. [1] Drilling engineers design and implement procedures to drill wells as safely and economically as possible. [1] They work closely with the drilling contractor, service contractors, and compliance personnel, as well as with geologists and other technical specialists.

3. Petroleum engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_engineering

   An important aspect of drilling is the drill bit, which creates a borehole of approximately three and a half to thirty inches in diameter. The three classes of drill bits, roller cone, fixed cutter, and hybrid, each use teeth to break up the rock. [28] To optimize drilling efficiency and cost, drilling engineers make use of drilling simulators ...

4. Mud engineer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_engineer

   Mud is a vital part of drilling operations. It provides hydrostatic pressure on the borehole wall to prevent uncontrolled production of reservoir fluids, lubricates and cools the drill bit, carries the drill cuttings up to the surface, forms a "filter-cake" on the borehole wall to prevent drilling fluid invasion, provides an information medium for well logging, and helps the drilling by ...

   Well drilling is the process of drilling a hole in the ground for the extraction of a natural resource ... In 1933 two Hughes engineers, one of whom was Ralph Neuhaus ...

7. Completion (oil and gas wells) - Wikipedia

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

   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.

9. Blowout (well drilling) - Wikipedia

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

   The primary means of detecting a kick while drilling is a relative change in the circulation rate back up to the surface into the mud pits. The drilling crew or mud engineer keeps track of the level in the mud pits and closely monitors the rate of mud returns versus the rate that is being pumped down the drill pipe.
