The Oil Drum was published by the Institute for the Study of Energy and Our Future, a Colorado non-profit corporation. [2] The site was a resource for information on many energy and sustainability topics, including peak oil , and related concepts such as oil megaprojects , Hubbert linearization , and the Export Land Model .

It is considered the main area where work is performed. Drill line (#12) is thick, stranded metal cable threaded through the two blocks (traveling and crown) to raise and lower the drill string. Drill pipe (#16) is a joint of hollow tubing used to connect the surface equipment to the bottom hole assembly (BHA) and acts as a conduit for the ...

Fish: The remnants still in the hole of a broken drill string, or any object that has been unintentionally dropped down the wellbore.
The deeper the source, the "drier" the gas (that is, the smaller the proportion of condensates in the gas). Because both oil and natural gas are lighter than water, they tend to rise from their sources until they either seep to the surface or are trapped by a non-permeable stratigraphic trap. They can be extracted from the trap by drilling.
In 1875, the "Continental Oil and Transportation Company" (acronym "Conoco") was founded in Ogden, Utah by Isaac Blake. [8] In 1885, Conoco was reincorporated as part of Standard Oil. [9] After the Supreme Court of the United States dissolved Standard Oil, Conoco became independent in 1913. [10] By 1929, it had become a fully integrated oil ...
