  2. Offshore drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_drilling

    In 1937, Pure Oil and its partner Superior Oil used a fixed platform to develop a field 1 mile (1.6 km) offshore of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana in 14 feet (4.3 m) of water. In 1938, Humble Oil built a mile-long wooden trestle with railway tracks into the sea at McFadden Beach on the Gulf of Mexico, placing a derrick at its end – this was ...

    An oil field is an area of accumulated liquid petroleum underground in multiple (potentially linked) reservoirs, trapped as it rises to impermeable rock formations. In industrial terms, an oil field implies that there is an economic benefit worthy of commercial attention.

  5. Reservoir simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_simulation

    The name ECLIPSE originally was an acronym for "ECL´s Implicit Program for Simulation Engineering". Simulators include black oil, compositional, thermal finite-volume, and streamline simulation. Add-on options include local grid refinements, coalbed methane, gas field operations, advanced wells, reservoir coupling, and surface networks. [5]

  6. Directional drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_drilling

    The thin red circular contour line in the middle of the map indicates the top of the oil reservoir. Because gas floats above oil, the thin red contour line marks the gas/oil contact zone. Directional drilling would be used to target the gas and oil reservoir. Directional drilling (or slant drilling) is the practice of drilling non-vertical bores.

  7. Offshore (hydrocarbons) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_(hydrocarbons)

    Offshore is part of the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry. [1] Offshore activities include searching for potential underground crude oil and natural gas reservoirs and accumulations, the drilling of exploratory wells, and subsequently drilling and operating the wells that recover and bring the crude oil and/or natural gas to the surface.
