A rig resembles to a factory which is manufacturing oil & gas well. Similar to a factory, a rig should have a systematic approach and plan to keep the factory running with minimum NPT. Parameters which can be defined to evaluate performance of a machine is called efficiency. Efficiency is the ratio of the useful work performed by a machine ...

Oil and gas industry has always been pioneer in implementation of Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) culture among its workers due to a very high-risk atmosphere comparing other industries like food, medicine, manufacturing, etc. Drilling is known as one of the most dangerous environments because of its congested area and heavy-duty equipment such as top drive, Blowout Preventer (BOP), winches, ...

Cementing is one of the most influential services on the lifetime and integration of wells. During cementing, annulus between casings/liners and well is filled with cement slurry having specific and designed features tailored for the existing conditions. After being hardened, the cement slurry plays different roles including protection of weak formations and casings against the imposed stresses and tension as ...

Investigation and measurement of produced oil, gas and water from wells play an important role in reservoir management and production enhancement. Though the well testing is an essential and beneficial operation, achieving accurate data in appropriate period of time could be challenging due to some reasons. The well testing operation is usually performed by means of test separators and other ...

There are many different methods to increase the efficiency of oil & gas wells production that along with progress and expansion of science have under gone changes and development. Radial Jet Drilling is a technique which utilizes hydraulic jet energy of fluids to drill lateral holes inside the reservoir. At present time in Iran, the rate of production has decreased ...
