Understanding The Drilling Operation In The Oil And Gas Industry

A good starting point for understanding Drilling Operations in the Oil and Gas Industry.

Drilling in the Oil and Gas Industry is the process of finding new oil and gas reserves and the process of making well holes to access underground oil deposits. This is the first step in bringing valuable resources to the surface for consumption. Some other things to know about drilling:

- Well drilling is always carried out in unknown and unmapped areas

- Drilling is a risky but rewarding endeavor, as it yields significant profits

- During drilling, there is always an assessment carried out to decide whether drilling will continue or not: Assess size, quality, and commercial feasibility

- When deemed profitable, drilling to extract oil and gas continues

Several types of drilling:

- Rotary Drilling: Usually done using a rotating drill bit to break and destroy rock formations. Drilling fluid is circulated to cool the drill bit, remove cuttings, and maintain wellbore pressure.

- Directional Drilling: This technique allows the well to deviate from the vertical path, reaching reservoirs located offshore or beneath challenging terrain. This type is often used in conjunction with Rotary Drilling.

- Horizontal Drilling: This method involves drilling horizontally from the wellbore to access a wider area of the reservoir, thereby maximizing production. This type is very useful for unconventional resources such as shale oil and gas.

Drilling can have a significant impact on the environment, including:

- Fluids produced by drilling can pollute soil and water

- Emissions from Drilling Rigs and equipment can cause air quality problems

- Drilling Operations can cause noise and light which can disturb the surrounding animals and community

Some of the best steps taken by the Oil and Gas Industry to optimize Drilling Operations, reduce environmental impact, and ensure that drilling remains a safe and efficient way to meet the world's energy needs:

- Use a cleaner combustion engine

- Do some things to reduce noise and light

- Use data and technological advances to improve safety and reduce losses

- Develop a new drilling method that uses sound waves to break up rock formations, potentially reducing environmental impacts

Helideck, Skill, And Emergency

If you want to work in the Helideck, you need to have the ability to:

- Provide and use PPE and SCBA

- Refuel

- Handle dangerous goods

- Enter the Helideck when an emergency occurs

- Control incidents on Helicopters and Helidecks

- Use a fire extinguisher

- Extinguish fires in Helicopters and Helidecks

- Handle victims

The Reason Why You Need To Have The Skills Above

Some emergencies that occur on the Helideck:

- Helicopter crashes into the Helideck

- Fire breaks out in Helicopter and Helideck

Several things that cause emergencies to occur on the Helideck:

- The engine on the Helicopter is damaged

- Lightning strikes the Helicopter

- The Helicopter has a fuel leak

- Severe weather conditions: Wind, rain, snow and more

- The pilot experiences fatigue

- The pilot does not have good experience

- There is a foreign object on the Helideck

- Lack of communication

- Landing and Takeoff Processes not prepared properly

- Safety Procedures are not carried out

- Passenger does not comply with Safety Instructions

- Unauthorized persons enter the Helideck

Emergency At The Helicopter

Some knowledge about Helicopters that you should know.

Best actions to prepare before an emergency occurs in a Helicopter:

- Take appropriate training to have knowledge of Safety Procedures in Helicopters

- Use the required PPE and equipment

- Always listen to instructions from Crew and Pilot

- Always communicate with the Rescue Team

- Always be ready to carry out Safety Procedures

An emergency occurs in a Helicopter because of:

- The bad weather

- The machine is damaged

- The pilot made a mistake

One of the emergencies that occurs in Helicopters is when the Helicopter sinks underwater. If this happens, the only way to save yourself is to push the windows and doors on the Helicopter out so that the Pilot, Crew, and Passengers can get out of the Helicopter.

Running away from a Helicopter that is underwater is a very dangerous act. The person carrying out this action must have been trained and have used special equipment. If not, the person will usually suffer serious injury and die.

Control Room Operator

Some of the work that must be done by the Control Room Operator (CRO):

- Monitor, supervise, and control various equipment, machines, and operations

- Analyze data

- Identify hazards and risks

- Take decisions and perform necessary actions: Starting and stopping machines, managing operations, and more

- Provide information to parties who need it: Technicians, Supervisors, Management, Operators, Emergency Response Officers and others

- Document events and actions taken

CRO roles in various industries:

- Power Generation: CRO monitors and controls power generation, transmission, and distribution and ensures stable power supply

- Oil and Gas Refinery: CRO oversees processes for extracting, refining, and transporting oil and gas and maintaining safety

- Manufacturing Plant: CRO controls production lines and automated equipment and ensures quality

- Transport Systems: CRO manages air traffic and rail network and maintains safe movement of people and goods

- Emergency Response Center: CRO receives and responds to emergency calls and dispatches ambulances, Firefighters and other Emergency Personnel

How To Rescue Workers From Confined Space

Some actions that the Rescue Team must take when they want to rescue workers from Confined Spaces:

- Assess the situation to determine if rescue action is necessary

- Provide information about emergencies through Alarms and Information Providing Tools

- Use required PPE and equipment: Jacket, glasses, gloves, helmet, SCBA, rope and others

- If the victim is still conscious and breathing, the Rescue Team can guide the victim to carry out the Evacuation Process without the Rescue Team having to enter the Confined Space

- If the victim is unconscious, not breathing, and injured, the Rescue Team must enter the Confined Space to save the victim

- Before entering a Confined Space, the Rescue Team must ensure that the entry area is secured, the Rescue Operation can be carried out appropriately and the risks that may be experienced by the victim and the Rescue Team can be minimized

- The most important thing that the Rescue Team must remember: The Rescue Process by entering a Confined Space is dangerous because the team will be exposed to danger as well

- When rescuing victims in Confined Spaces, the Rescue Team must carry out appropriate Safety Procedures and provide first aid

- After the Rescue Process has been completed, the Rescue Team must investigate the incident that has occurred to determine the cause of the incident and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future
