what are the 3 grades of oil and their carbon content?

Light (C6-C10), Medium (C15-C20), and Heavy (C30-C40)

how is oil gravity measured?

sg x API

how do you measure API?

(141.5/sg)-131.5

What API range is light oil?

>31.1

what API range is heavy oil?

<22.3

what API range is medium oil?

31.3-22.3

give 5 examples of PPE

coveralls, steel toe boots, safety glasses, hard hat, gloves, face shield

what order to the 4 casings go?

conductor, surface, production, tubing

what is fracking?

when water, sand and chemicals are sent down a well into the perfs at very high pressure, further opening the perfs and maximizing oil recovery

what are the 2 types of rigs?

Kelly or Top Drive

what are the different rig systems?

hoisting, circulating, rotating, and power

what is the BOP

blowout preventer, it reduces/eliminates the risk of a blowout

what are the common casing sizes?

4.5", 5.5", 7" (12m average length)

what are 2 services that often complete wells

service rigs and coil tubing units

briefly describe various components of a coil tubing unit

its injected into the well, hydraulically powered, run inside casing, used for completions and stimulations, quick, delivered on a reel, and hydraulically powered

what are different features of a wireline unit?

braided cable, electric power downhole, similar to coil tubing except thinner wire

what are packers used for?

isolating the producing formations from the rest of the well, run in on tubing and can be used in sour wells

what is the primary function of the wellhead?

to seal off the reservoir from the atmosphere

how does perforating work and what does it do?

a perf gun is lowered downhole on a wireline, an electric charge sets off the explosives set in the gun that blow right through the casing and cement, opening the formation so oil and gas can flow into it

what are 2 common stimulations?

acidizing and hydraulic fracturing

what are the 3 sectors of the oilfield?

upstream (exploration and production), midstream (transportation) and downstream (refining and marketing)

what did the Native Americans originally use bitumen for?

waterproofing their canoes

what year did Leduc #1 strike oil?

1947

what major oilfield event happened in 1883?

gas was discovered by Medicine Hat while drilling for water

what are different methods of exploration?

seismic, geologic mapping, and contour maps

what is the selection criteria for a well? (many parts)

seismic support, geologic interpretation, economics at the time of drilling, and probability for success

what are the 3 rig sizes and what do they mean?

single double and triple. they are based on how many stands of pipe the derrick can hold at one time

what are 3 different rams found on a BOP

pipe, blind, and shear rams

what is the mousehole used for?

holding the next pipe in

what is the rathole for?

kelly pipe storage on the drill floor

what is the spud date?

the date the bit hits the ground

what are different casing tools?

scratcher, centralizer, casing head

what are different types of artificial lift?

pumpjack, PCP, ESP, gas lift, and plunger lift

what determines the pour point of oil?

the wax content

the pour point is the ________ at which fluid ceases to flow: temp, pressure, humidity, density

temperature

what are the 4 main types of separators?

horizontal, vertical, spherical, and cyclonic

what is the main function of a separator?

to remove gas from liquid oil and water

what is the main purpose of a heater treater?

to heat up emulsion to produce gas, clean oil, and water all separately

what is gas sweetening?

a process that removes H2S from gas (amine)

what is gas dehydration?

a process that removes water from gas (glycol)

what is the main purpose of a compressor?

adds energy to gas by compressing it so it can be moved easier

what are the 4 different pipelines (in order)

gathering, feeder, transmission, distribution

what is a pig?

a pipeline inspection device, used to check for corrosion and various defects within a pipeline

What is SAGD?

steam assisted gravity drainage. steam is injected into an oil producing reservoir above the production pipe. The steam softens up the oil, making it flowable so it can be pumped to the surface

what are the 4 different disciplines for technologists?

geological, production, drilling and reservoir
