Directional drilling in O&G comprises many different techniques like horizontal, multilateral, and extended reach drilling (ERD). These are common methods of enhanced oil recovery that help increase a downhole’s yield. The drill string, drill bit, casing, and pipe all go down in a straight line in conventional oil and gas drilling operations. Any boring that does …

As the oil and gas industry moves into deep-water environments to extract more hydrocarbons to meet rising global demands, offshore pipelines play a critical role in helping petroleum companies deliver products from ocean mines to businesses, factories, and homes. While pipeline installation methods have significantly evolved over the last few decades. Laying pipes along the …
Drilling mud, also known as drilling fluid, is a heavy, sticky fluid mixture extensively used in oil & gas drilling operations to carry rock cuttings to the surface. It also helps to lubricate the drill and acts as a coolant. Due to hydrostatic pressure, the drilling mud in O&G wells also prevents unstable debris and …

Mud logging is an important technique for inferring lithology in the gas and oil exploration sector. It refers to the method where a borehole is drilled, and rock chips are brought to the surface by circulating drilling mud to analyze the sample, which is why it’s also widely known as surface logging. The name takes …
Gas and oil remain vital sources for powering the world. Global energy consumption has grown at an average rate of 4.7% annually, with fossil fuel consumption crossing nearly 487 exajoules in 2021. However, new oil and gas reserve discovery is decreasing as oil consumption continues to rise despite efforts to adopt renewable energy sources. Geologists in the …
