WHY WE DRILL PROSPECT SELECTION HISTORICAL BACKGROUND MODIFICATION IN DRILLING TYPES OF DRILLING WHAT ARE DIFFERENT WELL LOCATIONS IN TERMS OF DRILLING CONVENTINAL DRILLING RIG COMPONENTS RIG COMPONENTS ADVANCEMENT IN ROTARY DRILLING MUD TYPES & THEIR USAGE WHAT WE CALL A SUCCESSFUL DRILLING OPERATION
Why We Drill
TO KNOW THE SUB-SURFACE TO GET WATER FROM UNDERNEATH TO GET THE BLACK GOLD ( OIL ) & GAS
Prospect Selection
In case of Production wells, prospect selection is identified by the need to maintain or increase reservoir production Exploration wells require geological and geophysical data gathering, processing and evaluation Surface geological study Subsurface mapping Identification of structures e.g. anticlines, salt domes, fault traps, sand bodies lenses Seismic Evaluation

KELLY
DRILL COLLARS
Provides weight and stability to the drill bit, maintain tension on the drill pipe and help keep the hole on a straight course
- consist of cutting
elements arranged on cones (usually three cones, but sometimes two) that rotate on bearings about their own axis as the drill string turns the body of the bit. These bits can have teeth or buttons
Circulating System
STANDPIPE
A rigid metal conduit that provides the highpressure pathway for drilling mud to travel approximately one-third of the way up the derrick where it connects to a flexible high-pressure hose (Kelly hose) Many large rigs are fitted with dual standpipes so that downtime is kept to a minimum if one standpipe requires repair
Drilling Hazards
Tools dropped while drilling Pipe stuck Increased size of hole Lost circulation problems Sloughing shale
