With the advent of steerable systems, some directional wells are planned and drilled with complex profile types involving 3-dimensional turns. Generally, this happens mainly in
In oil and gas wells, hole deviation is a common drilling problem caused by a number of factors. This deviation results in the wellbore not
A back pressure valve (BPV) is a type of valve that we use in drilling & workover rigs to regulate the flow of fluids in
When it comes to oil and gas drilling, one of the most critical pieces of equipment is the wear bushing or the bore protector. This
This is the more widely employed and reliable method. The design of SCSSV – surface control subsurface safety valve is typically aiming to operate independently
A tubing-retrievable subsurface safety valve (TRSCSSSV) is run as an integral part of the completion string. The equipment requirements for the oil and gas TRSV
After installation of the completion string, we can run, locate & lock a wireline retrievable subsurface safety valve WRSV into a safety valve landing nipple
A subsurface safety valve (SSSV) is a downhole safety device installed in a well that can be closed in emergencies. An emergency may arise on
The traveling block (one of the rig components) is a diamond-shaped block containing several sheaves, always less than those in the crown block. The drilling
The Crown Block is one of the rig components (hoisting system) composed of a fixed set of pulleys (called sheaves). The location of this stationary
