High Pressure, High Temperature (HPHT)

High Pressure, High Temperature (HPHT) is the term used to define:
- Wells that have high pressure or high temperature
- Wells that have a pressure greater than 15,000 psi (103MPa)
- Wells whose temperature is greater than 350 degrees F (177 degrees C)
- High pressure wells that require well control equipment to have a rated working pressure of more than 15,000 psi
- A well in which the fluid flows at a temperature greater than 350 degrees F at the surface

In reality, very few wells operate under HPHT simultaneously. Most wells operate at high pressure or high temperature but are still referred to as HPHT Wells.

Some shallow wells can be found operating under high temperature conditions due to:
- Wells drilled close to local geothermal hotspots will operate at abnormally high temperatures
- Wells drilled close to other wells that use steam injection to reduce the viscosity of heavy oil will have a higher reservoir temperature than normal because the injected steam will raise the temperature of the surrounding formations

To avoid poor performance & failure in the HPHT environment:
- The metal used is carefully selected
- Equipment must be pressure tested to ensure the seal can withstand high pressure to prevent leakage
- Fluid density should always be checked
- A cooling system must be installed before pumping the drilling fluid back into the hole
- Water-based sludge must always be adapted to the HPHT environment

Hypothermia

Hypothermia is an emergency & dangerous condition that occurs when humans are exposed to cold & very cold temperatures. Hypothermia can also occur when humans feel cold due to rain, sweat & submerged in cold water.

Some other things that cause Hypothermia:
- Wet clothes
- Insufficient heating
- The room is too cold
- Being outdoors for a long time

When exposed to cold temperatures, the human body begins to lose heat more quickly, then the body temperature becomes lower & eventually the energy in the body will be exhausted & lost.

Consequences of too low body temperature & loss of energy:
- Disorders of the brain, so they become confused, can't think & lose their memory
- Disturbances in the body & muscles, so they can't move, can't talk & feel very tired
- Disorders of the skin that causes shaking & the skin becomes red

Safety And Survival At Sea

Surviving in the middle of the sea is the hardest thing because humans cannot breathe underwater & accidents can always happen when we are in the sea.

Two types of accidents usually occur at sea:
- Accidents that can be handled immediately: The personnel can immediately evacuate using the available safety equipment (Lifeboat, Life Raft & others)
- Uncontrolled accident: The personnel are forced to jump into the sea

The right way to save yourself from an accident at sea:
- Use a Life Jacket
- Transfer yourself to the available Lifeboats & Life Rafts
- If you have to jump into the sea, try to place your feet first to the surface of the water
- If you are alone at the sea, hug your body by touching your armpits & closing your legs so that your body can stay warm
- If there are several people at the sea, then this group of people must help each other by forming a circle & hugging others so that the body can stay warm & the injured victim can be placed in the middle of the circle
- Group swimming can also be done by placing people in a row & pinching the legs of the person in front
- If there's no Life Raft, you have to look for floating objects that can hold your body from sinking (wood & more)
- Use Smoke Signals (during the day), Fire Signals (at night) & Mirror Signals to inform Rescue Teams, Ships, Planes, Helicopters & more
