Experimental Investigation of Gas Kick Effects on Dynamic Drilling Parameters Introduction Early kick detection (EKD) is a vital component of well control system. The prevention or management of kicks and/or fluid loss occurrence during drilling operations is crucial, particularly in deepwater drilling activities due to the complexity of equipment and operations. Normally well control failure occurrences could cost the oil and gas industry billions of dollars in a year due to non-productive time

Offshore Drilling What is it? Drilling for oil in the ocean is one of the greatest technological breakthroughs in recent decades, and many new techniques have been developed to profit from the abundance of oil underneath the ocean floor. While drilling for oil has been around for hundreds of years in one form or the another, the effective extraction of petroleum from beneath the sea floor did not surface until the last forty years. The search for oil often turns out to be unproductive, but

Energy Sources Introduction Energy sources have been identified as being vital in running virtually all domestic and industrial operations. There are two types of energy sources; renewable energy sources and nonrenewable energy sources. Renewable energy sources refer to the kinds that are naturally replenished. These include sunlight, the wind, ocean tides, waves, geothermal heat and rain (Tiwari et al., 2012). Nonrenewable energy sources, on the other hand, are the kinds that do not renew themselves

TOOK LIVES OF 11 PEOPLE .THIS OIL SPILL SCENE HAPPENED 40 MILES OFF THE COAST NAMED LOUISSIAN COAST SITUATED IN GULF OF MEXICO.THE BRITISH PETROLEUM GAVE CONTRACT OF DRILLING THE WELL TO SOME TRANS UNION AND DURING THAT DRILLING PERIOD, OIL AND NATURAL GAS LEAKED ON THE OCEAN FLOOR.THE OIL WAS ESCAPED FROM THE HOLE BLOWOUT OF THE DRILLING PIPE AND GAS FOLLOWED THE OIL BECAUSE OIL AND GAS ARE FOUND IN THE SAME RESERVOIRS. PEOPLE CLAIM THIS HUGE DISASTER HAPPENED DUE TO THE RESULT OF MISHAPS WHICH WAS

Title: How Lava Flows Background: Viscosity is a liquid's resistance to flow. For example water would have a low viscosity while syrup has high. The higher temperature the lower viscosity and the lower temperature the higher viscosity. Cold syrup will move slower than hot syrup because the molecules are more tightly packed together while hots are very loose and free. Silica will cause the syrups viscosity to increases, so the more silica it has the more the viscosity will increase. If water is added

essentially fluid friction and transforms kinetic energy of motion into heat energy, just as friction (“the force between surfaces in contact that resists their relative tangential motion”) does between

and achieved a leak-proof seal (Figure 3.5(b)). Magnetic latching allowed the SEAM platform to be easily sealed and resealed as needed. The tubing was connected to the channel using a barbed fitting (McMaster), and a syringe pump was used to control fluid flow (Harvard Apparatus). The magnetic latching mechanism was sufficient to create a seal that could withstand the maximum

cornstarch, 50% water and 50% cornstarch, and 25% water and 75% cornstarch), then the 25% water and 75% cornstarch mixture will create the non-Newtonian fluid with the highest level of viscosity because the mixture is made of particles of cornstarch suspended in water, therefore, the more particles there are, the harder it will be to shear the fluid. Data that was measured from this experiment supports the stated hypothesis. Trial one provided insight to the experiment. For the control, the marble

Research Question: What is the effect of the amount of pineapple in gelatin on the viscosity of that gelatin by measuring the mass of pineapple added (g) as a function of the viscosity (s) of the gelatin after 5 hours of refrigeration? Background Research: Gelatin is a protein that is composed of byproducts of animal bones, tendons and ligaments ("What is gelatin made"). These specific parts of the body (connecting tissues) are made up of a protein called collagen ("Why can't you put pineapple")

the environment if we are not careful and observant of our planet. The community is greatly affected when a company comes in and starts fracking around homes and businesses. One way that the community can be affected by hydrofracking is that the drilling can induce seismic activity in the area. Seismic activity in a populated area, like a suburb neighborhood or a business district, can be very hazardous and costly. The seismic activity can be
