Engineering Marvels The Construction of Offshore Oil (Deep-Water) Platforms Offshore oil platforms are engineering marvels designed to withstand harsh ocean conditions while extracting oil from deep beneath the seabed. These massive structures are built on land and towed to their final location, where they're secured to the ocean floor. Using advanced drilling technology, they can reach oil reserves miles below the surface. only some oil companies own this sophisticated technology, giving them a significant competitive advantage in deep-water oil extraction. #OffshoreOilPlatforms #DeepWaterDrilling #MarineEngineering #EnergyIndustry #OceanTechnology #EnvironmentalConcerns #PetroleumEngineering #GlobalEnergy #OceanConservation #IndustrialSafety #MarineEcology #FossilFuels #ClimateChange #EnergyPolicy #OceanResources #SustainableEnergy #OilIndustry #MarineScience #OffshoreTechnology #RenewableEnergy @Shell @ExxonMobil @Chevron @BP_plc @GreenpeaceUK @motto.panah

🌍 Understanding the Mud Cycle in Oil & Gas Operations 🛢️ The mud cycle is a critical process in the field of oil and gas exploration and production, playing a pivotal role in drilling efficiency, safety, and environmental stewardship. Let's delve into its significance: What is the Mud Cycle? The mud cycle, also known as the drilling mud system, refers to the circulation and management of drilling fluid during drilling operations. This fluid, typically a mixture of water, clay, and various additives, serves multiple essential purposes: 🔍 Function and Importance: Cooling and Lubrication: It cools and lubricates the drill bit and pipe, reducing friction and wear. Pressure Control: It balances formation pressure, preventing blowouts and ensuring drilling safety. Cuttings Transport: It carries rock cuttings to the surface for analysis, providing crucial geological insights. Wellbore Stability: It supports the wellbore walls, preventing collapses and maintaining structural integrity. Key Stages in the Mud Cycle: Mud Preparation: Engineers tailor the mud composition based on geological conditions and drilling objectives. Circulation: The mud is continuously pumped down the drill string, up the annulus, and back to the surface. Filtration and Treatment: Solid control equipment removes debris and maintains fluid properties. Analysis and Adjustment: Mud properties are monitored and adjusted to optimize drilling efficiency and safety. Environmental and Operational Benefits: Resource Efficiency: Recycled and treated mud reduces waste and conserves resources. Environmental Protection: Proper management minimizes environmental impact by preventing fluid spills and contamination. Cost Effectiveness: Efficient mud systems lower operational costs and downtime, enhancing project economics. Innovation and Sustainability: As the energy industry evolves, innovation in mud cycle technology continues to drive sustainable practices and operational excellence. Let's collaborate towards a future where responsible resource extraction meets environmental stewardship. #MudCycle #DrillingFluids #OilandGasIndustry #EnvironmentalStewardship #InnovationInEnergy #SustainableOperations #GeologicalInsights

Finally, after a long period of mapping and soil sampling, six drill targets were identified on the farmlands of two landowners we already were in contact with. After discussing our plans, we discovered that not only did they grant permission for the drilling, they also expressed a desire to collaborate on the project. One of them rented out his barn that we used as a core shed while the other provided water supply using his tractor and water tank. Collaboration with local residents ensures: - Employment opportunities - Sharing of knowledge - Mutual trust - More transparency Local residents have a deep insight into the area in which they live. Their knowledge of the local environment gives valuable understanding and guides a company in a responsible way. Especially during the early stage of a project when the area is relatively new to a company, this is very beneficial and contributes to a sustainable collaboration. This partnership is not just about jobs; it is about sharing knowledge and paving the way for a better, more sustainable future. #mineralexploration #batterymetals #batteryminerals #nickel #ev #CRMA #plethoraexplorationcorp #energytransition #earlyengagement #collaboration #plethoragreenenergy

Enhancing Drilling Operations: A Case Study in Wellbore Stability and Environmental Responsibility This paper, published in the Journal of Engineering and Applied Science [7(10), 1-38], investigates a wellbore instability encountered during oil well drilling in Sudan (https://lnkd.in/eDNsbdV3). The wellbore collapsed due to an inadequately weighted drilling fluid, allowing formation material to enter the well. Our study identifies key factors contributing to this instability, including formation pressure and the presence of heavy metals within the rock formations. To prevent similar incidents in the future, we recommend a more comprehensive wellbore stability assessment prior to drilling. This assessment would consider not only wellbore integrity and formation preservation but also effective mud waste control to minimize environmental impact.

"Ownership group in large Barents Sea oil project are interested in carbon capture on board the #FPSO." "Engineering and design work is ongoing on Norway’s largest unsanctioned offshore oilfield development in the Barents Sea with the current emphasis on a carbon capture solution." "The #Wisting discovery holds 500 million barrels of recoverable oil, and the development concept is being reworked because the estimated capital costs of the previous concept had ballooned to an uncomfortably high level for the #Equinor-led ownership group." #BarentsSea #CCS #CCUS #CarbonCapture https://lnkd.in/gnp_3AHf

How did an operator save ~ $3.3M in one year with offshore wastewater disposal in Norway? 🌊⬇️ ✔️ Challenge: High volumes of wastewater (slop) was being generated on large, modern, closed-drain rigs ✔️ Solution: We recommended BaraH2O® Slop Unit, an engineered solution for point-of-origin waste treatment at the rig site ✔️ Result: Saved the operator approximately $3.3M in net onshore treatment cost, sent 98% less volume of slop to shore for storage, treatment, and disposal, and treated a slop volume of 17,961 m3 offshore for a single rig Read the entire case study to learn how BaraH2O Slop Unit provides efficient, cost-effective alternative to treatment facilities >>https://bit.ly/4bD50U3
