Importance of Managed Pressure Drilling (mpd)

Image
Managed Pressure Drilling, or mpd drilling , is the process of controlling the pressure in a well as it is being drilled. This is done by using specialised equipment, which may include, among other things, a rotating control device, an extra choke manifold, drill string check valves, and fluid/solids control equipment. In order to properly control the annular hydraulic pressure profile, it is important to identify the limitations of the downhole pressure environment. The goal of mpd drilling is to prevent a constant input of formation fluids to the surface. The right approach will be used to securely contain any influx that is unrelated to the operation. This is one of the very crucial techniques used in well completion services . Principle of MPD (Managed Pressure Drilling): The MPD method's fundamental component is its ability to control the bottom hole pressure profile. The hydrostatic pressure of the drilling fluid and the anticipated annular friction pressure are combi...

How Does Well Completion Works?

Image
A well completion is a series of procedures carried out on an oil and gas well after it has been drilled and cased to get it ready for production. Running production tubes and downhole tools (such as mandrels, downhole safety valves, pumps, etc.) as necessary is a part of this process. Additionally, the well, often referred to as the frac, is stimulated and perforated. If necessary, it can also involve the circulation of nitrogen and acidification. Vertechs is a business that offers well completion services to help customers to maximize reservoir performance while lowering costs and downtime by providing creative well completion solutions . Frac plugs, which are tools used during hydraulic fracturing to separate portions of the wellbore and make fractures in the rock formation, are one of Vertech's products. To meet the needs of diverse well completions, dissolvable frac plug is available in a variety of sizes, materials, and designs. Stages of Well completion procedure:...

Use of IoT to Enable Oil & Gas Sector Achieve Operational Excellence

Image
Having an impact on almost all the sectors within the global economy, crude oil is one of the most highly traded as well as valuable commodities in the world. Currently, it is an important source of both energy and fuel that act as the driving force for every known industry. It is due to it that today the oil and gas industry overall is the powerhouse industry that remains responsible solely for exploration as well as refining of crude. Now, such Exploration & Production companies and oil-field service providers, they use some heavy machinery pieces, including wellheads and the pumpjacks, for  drilling fluid  from the deep grounds.  Apart from extraction, as part of  well completion services , there comes in the transportation of the crude for which the O&G companies are highly dependent upon the huge pipelines network or the 3rd party vendors that can easily transport the oil through railways, trucks, and ships. These oil refineries constitute a downstream...

IoT-Powered Management System Benefits for Inventory in Oil & Gas Sector

Image
Internet of Things as a concept is used for describing physical objects network or the network of assets through the software installation, sensor connectivity and some of the other technologies. The major Idea behind the use of IoT within the oil and Gas sector is to build robust asset connectivity while offering data exchange with the other devices on the internet, altogether which helps in  completion solutions . Considering the communication, that is known to include specific protocols and physical connectivity, which gets used in different IoT environments for building a stronger foundation for installation of the automated  fluid monitoring system  and other systems for industries. IoT devices remain embedded with gateways and sensors that help in possessing the advanced algorithm for helping customers with the location monitoring precisely. All this is a rapidly growing network of devices that have been quite helpful, and with the successful implementation of it ...
