Dude! The redundancy appears cost prohibitive and am so glad you folks know what you are doing. Can't imagine designing a device that can decide to turn 90° and go horizontal! My hat is off to you! Best of luck!
"This is an intricate operation, requiring a WELL planned infrastructure, a variety of processes, and expert, WELL trained specialist.." I love the well puns!
I don't understand how the drill pipe bends through the curves.. There is the "knuckle" of sorts they install to make the head move, but how does the entire length of pipe bend like that through rock not getting snagged? I still struggle to understand horizontal drilling. Most videos just say "advances in technology" -Great, that helps so much..
The only thing missing in this Sim City animation is a roughneck making an appearance in a white linen suit mounted on a white unicorn shod in anodized aluminum lucky hornshoes by the Mr Clean unicorn farrier (your choice of mint, teal, or lilac). Love the little farmhouse at 5:55. "How many times have I told you not to horse around on the pumpjack? You'll make it dirty."
After the concrete hardens, a perf gun is lowered to the farthest point of the lateral, and it perforates holes through the casing into the target formation. Then frac fluid & propants are pumped at high pressure down the hole, escaping at the perfs and into the formation causing it to fracture and let oil and gas escape. The propants keep the fractures open, and the O&G flows into the production casing and up to the surface. They repeat the frac about every 500 ft to maximize production.
I'm convinced! Drilling a bunch of holes into the land and putting "A few chemicals" into the earth is no problem. Hey, they recycle these chemicals for other sites! Recycling is so green..
You sure enjoy using your computer (manufactured by petroleum) to make negative comments. unless you live in a cave with no modern day elements of life, you are a hypocrite to comment as you have. MORON
People are confused as to how the pipe can rotate along its axis if it is not perfectly straight (they think the hole would become over-gauged as did I when I first got into teh business). But I was explained that the wells are so long (usually 2-12 km), and the angle builds over such a long distance, that the entire string can be thought of us a straight line, allowing the string to rotate perfectly (approxmiately perfectly) on its axis.
How are you able to rotate such a long string from the surface without it just twisting up? I'd imagine you could spin the top section several revolutions before the lower portions even begin to spin due to the ductility of the steel pipe.
when the rig is drilling the curve the drill pipe is no longer rotating, there is a slightly bent sub with mud motor and bit on the end of the drill string. the pressure of the mud pumps rotate just the bit therefore allowing the driller to steer the drill string while monitoring the direction from above #Bronco Drilling#Accurate Drilling#Patterson UTI
The angle changes over such a long distance that it can pretty much be approximated as a straight path. Still, there will be forces and stresses in the drill pipe, but drill pipe is very strong. However, it does have a certain lifespan.
Are special high streght pipes used to withstand bending stress,and if the pipes break do they abandon the well and start over or how are the broken pipes extracted? Great video,all the engineering and know how that goes into drilling is just amazing.
it's not a strait path..it's a curve. If you are talking about going from vertical/tangent/etc to horizontal. the drill pipe bends with it because it's such a big curve.
Mud motors are not rotary steerable - aka the pipe does not steer at the rotary table, the driller jsut sees the pipe moving into the ground, the mud pressure spins the bit. Rotary steerable devices steer while the rotary table or top drive is adding surface RPM to the string. For point the bit vs. push the bit, google Schlumberger Xceed and PowerDrive
I was explaining the method that I have experience with that pertained to the question that was asked. Name dropping other methods don't clear anything up, so please elaborate on this if you want to be helpful.
i worked on a crap load of fracks and still do and make alll the bread lol but my cousin already got three fingers cut off three seperate occasions fucken metal aint no joke
Yes, yes and yes. Like any human activity there is no 100% solution. But the engineering is sound and there are measures to make whole anyone who is harmed. This is not done by fly by night operators. The mishap percentage is in the single digits. I know of only one incident where the companies paid out about $4 million in remedies and damages to the affected people. It is not cost effective to make mistakes or poorly engineer these things and no one wants to harm someone by being careless. This isn't like the ATF that burns women and children to death and shoots unarmed women holding babies with never anyone paying any consequence. (Waco and Ruby Ridge).
to answer your question: approximately 20% of the wells drilled start with a cracked cement casing that allows fluid to leak into the surrounding water table at ground level.
Horizontal wells and multiple branch connection technology to ensure safe and cost effective alternatives to the many traditional vertical wells that are more expensive and do not comply with the shale fracturing process in an environmentally friendly manner. This new process will meet the future challenges of gas production in tight formations, minimizing the severe vertical damage caused by massive vertical fractures.The horizontal well and technology in connecting to multi lateral package for safety and effective costs optimist the replacement of higher costs conventional many vertical wells and not in line with environmental manner process into fracking of shale rocks. This novel process will for the future challenges of gas production in tight formation that minimizes vertical severe damages of vertical huge fractures.
When the cement seal is formed, how can they know that pressure doesn't increase around it? The cement pump is retracted... and then is the cavity at that point under pressure before the drill is returned?
good question. When formation fluids enter the well from pressure, thats called a kick Kicks are controlled by maintaining a safe pressure on the drilling mud using high intensity pressure from huge engines above the ground. There are a lot of gauges and sensors everywhere. If a kick can't be contained then its a blowout. Blowouts are not very common because of better trainings and new BOPs (blow out preventer) but are almost always very devastating
Michael McDonald Its called a perforating gun. Its punches holes through the production casing and the cement sheath into the oil and gas shale. The well is the hydro-fractured. Fracing forces millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals down the borehole at high pressure (5000psi+) to expand and deepen the previous fractures into the shale wider so that the oil and gas will flow out into the wellbore and up to the surface.
Orphan babies of the oil field. Here in Wyoming sand can drivers are the assholes of the field, don't ever yield for a loaded truck and generally just don't give a fuck.
oil drilling is bad for the enviroment! said a guy with a brand new car, 2 cellphones bought last year, a computer and a brand new laptop (the one from 6 months ago had a scratch) and 3 TVs in home just in case.
There should be 1-2 strings of intermediate casing but Chesapeake is too cheap to use those to protect the deep formations and add additional insurance for casing fractures.
The use of intermediate casing string(s) is usually left up to the driller as per the geologic conditions that are encountered. We also don't know if Chesapeake and others are running the casing all the way to the surface or they might be hanging each subsequent casing string from the previous casing. I don't have a problem with drilling into the Marcellus and Utica shale, but the protection of groundwater must be absolute, during drilling, fracing and the subsequent use/disposal of frac fluid. Id prefer that frac fluid be refused instead of being injected into waste wells.
Fracking is the cause of the homeless crises because the micro surface quakes are destroying the foundations of buildings in a much bigger area as currently thought and admitted by the operators. The vibration also erode shore lines and cause cracks on highways.
I'm with you! We should outlaw all gas and oil in the United States! No cars, no motorcycles, no trains planes or boats. No plastics or medicines developed from petrochemicals. And trust me, there's a lot of medicines and medical supplies that are directly produced from oil. Ban all clothing and materials that are oil based. I could go on but there's no sense since we find our selves in 1870 as far as technology without oil. Forget solar panels and wind farms since there's all kinds of components manufactured from petrochemicals. No electric cars since there's a shit ton of plastic and composites in them too! I don't like strip mining to harvest lithium for batteries so forget that. Without all this our farmers could never produce crops on the level they do today... People starve to death, life stock starve to death as well. I'm with you, most of the people who starve will be liberals in the cities since the right wing gun nuts live predominately in rural settings. I'm with you!

Thank you for the educational video. It is nice to see industry has the potential to drill in a more environmentally safe manner than in the past.
If you believe that, I have a bridge in New York to sell you.
greeting from hot oilfields of iran tanx for sharing makes me think as a rookie and i should ask these from my superwiser .
Now you know how safe it is. How safe it is. How safe it is. How safe it is. How safe it is.

Easy JD. Get laid or do some yoga or something. No need for name calling and aggressiveness when you read something you don't like or agree with.
Such a very good video. Help me more in understanding my drilling course in my University. Thanks a lot!!!
Fantastic content, really enjoyed learning about the process.
Alice in wonderland, i am sure that the oligarchs from Chasepeake have the wellbeing of the local population in their hearts.
That's great, wonderful!
I love the landscaping framing the site.
Nice graphics. We'll keep drilling for Oil & Gas as long as you guys below keep using it :)
Oh mer gawd! You know mole people?

Exactly how is the rigid steel pipe bent to goes sidesways. I realize this isn't a 90 degree turn but it still amazes me.
such an amazing animation!

Good and innovative techniques!
Thanks for posting it.
Mud motors are old technology, today's rotary steerable devices are the best. Using either push the bit or point the bit
So entertaining when people who never spent a day in the oil field have all the answers.

Thanks for the information
Well demonstrated, I came to know manny things. And could you please let me know which software did you use???? Thanks.

They make it sounds good at least
And its super rare that chesapeake will put more then 1 well

This vid helped Thanks Petrolyte
How’s the casing made with steel pipes are laid in horizontal well without bending?
Good vedoe
You mean Good video! It's not a good video...It harbors bad will to all.
Guao increible
They always avoid explaining a crucial detail: how can the drilling pipe turns corners. Are there universal joints connecting them?
Nice
cool
give it up for my superintendendt almost loosing his foot in this hard job
i worked on a crap load of fracks and still do and make alll the bread lol but my cousin already got three fingers cut off three seperate occasions fucken metal aint no joke
How does the pipe bend and rotate ?
This looks OK to me. There are dirtier extraction technologies out there, like coal mining.

where did you get this video?
8million litre's of water used, and millions more polluted due to negligence.🙁😤
Do you Drill thru the water table ? Does concrete crack ? Can casing blow out ? !
What is in the frac Solution ? What is the mishap percentage ?

do cars crash, do home burn down, do people choke on food. What other stupid questions do you have?

Dr. Olson brought me here
We drill baby drill
Weird, worked on countless chesapeake pads being drilled yet never seen all that shit they have on the video.
this is was kuwait did in the 90s
We see only isolated vertical and horizontal tubes in the ground in this video.
What happens after?
Perforation of the casing in the production zone and then fracing.
Kelli Hollinger They put another tool down the wells that punctures the production casing and its concrete outside layer?
Michael McDonald Its called a perforating gun. Its punches holes through the production casing and the cement sheath into the oil and gas shale. The well is the hydro-fractured. Fracing forces millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals down the borehole at high pressure (5000psi+) to expand and deepen the previous fractures into the shale wider so that the oil and gas will flow out into the wellbore and up to the surface.

What if they drilled with Oil Based Mud?
Can i take this video to set up in exhibition room of my company? have anyone answer my question? please.....

chesapeake came to nd drilled a few water wells haha
that I can perform software such videos
wich software do you use for making such graphics boss?

reply to black rhino74 did they set up a cute little truck mount derrick rated to pull 50 tons to drill those water wells!!! ha ha ha ha
why am i a idiot every well they drilled in nd produced water what you want me to do about it
So complicated! I don't get it...
There should be 1-2 strings of intermediate casing but Chesapeake is too cheap to use those to protect the deep formations and add additional insurance for casing fractures.
do you know for sure if intermediate is required? If it were, chesapeake would'nt have an option wether or not to to use it..

We also don't know if Chesapeake and others are running the casing all the way to the surface or they might be hanging each subsequent casing string from the previous casing.

Cartoons are not reality.

no one can explain how the drill bit kicks out horizontally. no one.
We could, just send an email to us at info@fortunadrilling.com and one of our engineers will get back to you.
there is a tool they send down that is at a slight angle, it allows the curve to start.
