Very interesting, thank you. This cut appeared to be in a normal section of pipe. Would it be able to cut through a threaded-joint section, which would have a much greater total wall thickness?
i’m a new geologist, taking an online course on Oil and Gas. i must say i didn’t understand much of what the teacher was saying till i searched up this. helped me big time. thanks🥰
abandoned…. okay then what do people do with whats left? how do they sustainably get rid of the resources required to get all that oil to leave the land as it once was? or u just saying people just leave that disgusting industrialized metal structure there? informative to a degree but not enough care or attention to the damage fossil fuels have on earth
Maybe a roughneck can explain... when they cement in the casing, how do they clear the inside portion of the casing of cement? From what I can see cement is pumped in down the center, around the tip to the outside of the casing where it displaces the mud back up to the surface and then they let it set. Wouldn't the inside of the casing also be filled with cement that is going to set? Specifically talking about 6:05
In theory they did at the dockside, and the valve AND BACKUP valve, but the tests were complete bs. They did things like switch the batteries around so they wouldn't work to stop the blind shear getting triggered.
@@seeriktusit’s clear you have absolutely zero idea what you’re talking about. What kind of brain rot are you used to watching? Your thought process screams tiktok.
I worked on some Shell Co. Wells the drilling superintendent was pissed he didn't want anyone to know how deep we were drilling including us hands, after tripping pipe I had a very good idea about how deep we were and told him, some men are just ignorant of facts!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
im tired of hearing everyone bitch and moan, idk why he wont fuck her, shes smoking hot, its only a muscle itll snap back to its original size afterwards
I had an idea once, an improvement, just going to give it away for free here: a secondary backup shear ram WITHOUT hydraulics. Actuated by a specifically formulated powder charge that's lit with a fuse, remotely. The idea is that if the volume of the pistons/pipes is knowd the charge can be formulated to burn as to exactly match needed pressure. Any pressure is possible... even beyond what's needed. The only question is hoe much the shear would be able to handle. This and a double ratcheting mechanism. A "final hope" kind of backup if hydraulics fail.
@@-Hussainnn you're saying non-science and yet there is flying molecules))) And all this slideshow to one purpose - explode smbs brain. Reforming, cracking and all that already scientific. It shoulda be accurate whatever smart people or not. If this is only for dumbasses I'm outa here.
Great video. What part of Texas did you make this video? Or was it New Mexico. When I look at it I get the feeling of Kermit Tx, or Jal, NM. Man it's tough to be out there sometimes. Orla, Tx about pushed me over the edge until they finally put in that gas station. You'd work your 12 hours then it was a 4 hour round trip drive to the gas station.
You left out the process that makes this all worthwhile. Hydraulic fracturing or fracking as its called. After perforating the well you take 6 to 10 giant high pressure water pumps and you pump about a dozen olympic sized swimming pools worth of fresh water and spherical ceramic beads down the well hole. The pressure from the pumps is so high that it cause the porus rock containing the hydrocarbons to crack and the spherical beads become wedged in the cracks holding them open. This allows the oil to flow into the well faster and in greater volumes which allows the extraction to be profitable and worth the effort to recover it. Without fracking the oil couldnt be recovered fast enough to make it worth the effort. We take wells that stop producing and simply frack them again and many times they produce more oil than when they were first drilled and fracked. Sometimes a lot more. In my experience, oil wells are rarely plugged and abandoned. Even producing just one barrel a day is worthwhile. We try and recover litterally every drop of oil. Water is produced with the oil and is separated using gravity and the difference in buoyancy. The separated water goes through a vessel called a gun barrel which removes the smallest traces of oil from the water.
Deepwater Horizon's drill rod buckled at some point but more importantly stray material was present in the drill line, and BOP *just did not activate* when it should have; for a number of proposed reasons. I mean, there's a lot of good discussion here but don't think that there's only one or two things you need to know to successfully drill for oil in the ocean. That's the mistake Tony Hayward made. "We're sorry."
@paulkurilecz4209 No, it was a failure of management to follow general and specific drilling practices and not following agree upon safety and downhill protocols.
@@user-zq3iz3zn5m Well that led to the casing failure. They thought that they could save money by reducing the amount of casing used and reducing the number of centralizers used.
@@user-zq3iz3zn5m Ummm, it was a management decision that lead to a reduction in the amount of casing and centralizers used. There is also a question of the amount of cement returns during the cementing job. Also it is believed that there was either a mud loss or the mud was under weight when the well kicked. All of these decisions lead to a casing failure.
