The Role of the Blowout Preventer (BOP) in Drilling Operations

By Bizzuka Administrator | Uncategorized | Comments are Closed | 27 October, 2016 | 0

Anyone who wants to be well-versed in oil drilling must understand the crucial role of the blowout preventer (BOP). Understanding each component of a rig’s safety system means understanding how they work together, as well as their individual contributions, for efficient and safe operation (and injury prevention). Essentially, a blowout preventer (BOP) shuts off theRead more

Installation and Removal of Drill Pipe Float Valves

By Bizzuka Administrator | Uncategorized | Comments are Closed | 7 August, 2016 | 0

Sometimes called non-return valves, drill pipe float valves are used to prevent backflow up through the drill string. They allow fluid flow to be stopped while adding joints and making (or breaking down) pipe connections. They also prevent cuttings from entering the drillpipe, helping to eliminate plugging when connecting two pieces in a drillstring. NotRead more

History of Hydraulic Fracturing

By Bizzuka Administrator | Uncategorized | Comments are Closed | 31 May, 2016 | 0

Protecting the environment and meeting the energy needs of our planet’s seven billion people is a balancing act.Hydraulic fracturing (or “fracing,” or “fracking”) was relatively uncommon until 2003, when energy companies expanded natural gas exploration to shale formations in Texas, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Utah, West Virginia, and Maryland. In 2004 the Environmental Protection Agency ruled thatRead more
