Oil field equipment can consist of many things. I would like
to explain some of the largest oil field equipment. A land rig and an off shore
rig and the difference between the two. Technical Data used in the field
explained in oil and gas courses in Islamabad. A drilling land
rig is a equipment which creates holes (usually called boreholes) and/or shafts
in the ground. Drilling land rigs can be massive structures housing equipment
used to drill oil wells, or natural gas extraction wells. They sample
sub-surface mineral deposits, test rock, soil and groundwater physical
properties. Drilling land rigs can be mobile equipment mounted on trucks,
tracks or trailers, or more permanent land not to be confused with marine-based
structures (such as oil platforms, commonly called 'offshore oil rigs'). The
term "rig" therefore generally refers to the complex of equipment
that is used to penetrate the surface of the earth's crust. A drilling land rig
would be used on shore.
Drilling land rigs can be:
Small and portable, such as those used in mineral
exploration drilling. Huge, capable of drilling through thousands of
meters of the Earth's crust. Large "mud pumps" circulate drilling mud
(slurry) through the drill bit and the casing, for cooling and removing the
"cuttings" while a well is drilled. Some more details of oil and gas courses in
Islamabad are as under.
Hoists in the rig can lift hundreds of tons of pipe. Other
equipment can force acid or sand into reservoirs to facilitate extraction of
the oil or mineral sample; and permanent living accommodation and catering for
crews which may be more than a hundred.
Marine rigs may operate many hundreds of miles or kilometres
offshore with infrequent crew rotation. An offshore platform, often referred to
as an oil platform or oil rig, is a large structure used to house workers and
machinery needed to drill wells in the ocean bed, extract oil and/or natural
gas, process the produced fluids, and ship them to shore. Depending on the
circumstances, the platform may be attached to the ocean floor, consist of an
artificial island, or be floating.
Most offshore rigs are located on the continental shelf, though with advances in technology and increasing crude oil prices, drilling and production in deeper waters has become both feasible and economically viable. A typical offshore rig may have around thirty wellheads located on the platform and directional drilling allows reservoirs to be accessed at both different depths and at remote positions up to 5 miles (8 kilometres) from the platform. TSK Training for Skills and Knowledge is the best institute in Rawalpindi Islamabad for Pakistani Students who wants to join oil and gas courses in Rawalpindi.
