This document provides an overview of basic drilling engineering. It discusses the types of drilling including rotary, cable tool, and coil tubing drilling. It describes the historical development of drilling from the early 1800s to modern advances. It also outlines the key components of a conventional drilling rig including those used for hoisting, rotating, circulating, and controlling the drill string. Common drilling fluid types and their uses are also mentioned. Finally, it notes some factors that characterize a successful drilling operation.

 WHAT WE CALL A SUCCESSFUL DRILLING OPERATION

4.  TO KNOW THE SUB-SURFACE
 TO GET WATER FROM UNDERNEATH
 TO GET THE BLACK GOLD ( OIL ) & GAS

5.  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

Basic Drilling Rig Functions

11. DERRICK
The function of a derrick is to
provide vertical clearance to
the raising and lowering of
drill string into and out of
borehole
Two type of Derricks
Standard Derricks - it is of
bolted construction and
assembled part by part
Mast – a portable derrick, one
capable of being erected as a
unit

12. CROWN BLOCK
The fixed set of pulleys (called sheaves)
located at the top of the derrick or mast
over which the drilling line is threaded.
TRAVELLING BLOCK
A pulley (sheave) assembly that
connects the drilling line to the
hook and swivel
Rig Components (Hoisting System)

13. DRAWWORKS
 It is the control center from
which the driller operates the
rig. It contains clutches,
chains and other controls
 It houses the drum which
spools drilling line during
hoisting and allows feed off
during drilling

14. KELLY
 A Kelly is a square or
hexagonal length of pipe
that fits into a bushing in
the rig's rotary table. As
the rotary table turns to
the right, the Kelly turns
with it.
 The main function of a
Kelly is to transfer energy
from the rotary table to the
rest of the drill string
SWIVEL
 It suspends the drill string
and allows rotation at the
same time

15. DRILL PIPES
Drill pipe furnishes the
necessary length for drill
string and serves as a
conduit for the drilling
fluid
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

16.  HEAVY WALL DRILL
PIPES provides additional
hole stability and aids in
directional control
 STABILIZERS
centralize the drill collars,
help maintain the hole at
full-gauge diameter
 JARS
provides sharp upward or
downward impact to free
stuck pipe
 REAMERS
helps to maintain a full-
gauge hole diameter
 CROSS OVER SUBS
which join components
having different types of
connections.

17. BITS
Most critical component in rotary
drilling operations. Different types of
bits
Two main type of bits:
Rolling cutter bits - 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

18.  Fixed cutter bits - also
known as drag bits, consist
of stationary cutting
elements that are integral
with the body of the bit and
are rotated directly by the
turning of the drill string.
The principal types of fixed
cutter bits are
 natural diamond
 polycrystalline diamond
compact (PDC)

20. MUD PUMPS
 Their function is to circulate the drilling fluid at the desired
pressure and volume
 The pump normally used for this service is reciprocating piston,
double acting and duplex type
STANDPIPE
 A rigid metal conduit that provides the high-pressure 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

21. PRIME MOVRES
 These are used to supply
power to drilling operations.
These can be steam engines,
electric motors, internal
combustion engine
 The bulk of rig power is
consumed in two operations
namely circulation of fluid
and hoisting

22. BLOWOUT PREVENTER (BOP)
 If the formation pressure is more
than the imposed by drilling fluid,
in this case formation fluids flow
into borehole and eventually to the
surface. This effect is called blowout
 The main function of blowout
preventers is to close the annular
space between the drill pipe and
casing

23.  DIRECTIONAL DRILLING
 HORIZONTAL DRILLING
 MULTILATERAL DRILLING
 COIL TUBING DRILLING

24.  Tools dropped while drilling
 Pipe stuck
 Increased size of hole
 Lost circulation problems
 Sloughing shale

results without any accidents.
