SEGUNDO PARCIAL INGLES TECNICO

1. Drilling Equipment
Answer the following question:

Which is the device installed at the wellhead to prevent fluids and gases from unintentionally
escaping from the borehole?

a) Blowout Preventor (BOP)

b) Mud Pump

c) Drill Pipe

Complete the following sentence:

The mud pump provides a reserve store of drilling fluid until it is required down the wellbore.

2. Rigs Onshore
How many types of towers are there ?

 SINGLE
 DOBLE
 TRIPLE

Which are the types of energy used in drilling?

 MECHANICAL
 ELECTRICAL
 HYDRAULIC
3. Offshore

Offshore rigs are those rigs which are located at the sea.
Depending on the water depth and remoteness of the location, these "rigs" may be:
 Jackup Drill Rigs
 Semi-Submersible Rigs

4. Bit drillstring

A drill bit is a tool designed to produce a generally cylindrical hole (wellbore) in

the earth’s crust by the rotary drilling method for the discovery and extraction
of hydrocarbons such as crude oil and natural gas
Drill bits are broadly classified into two main types according to their primary cutting
and Fixed cutter mechanism.

 5. DRILLING FLUID
1. WHAT IS A DRILL FLUID?
It is liquid or gas that flows through the drill string to the auger.

2. WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF DRILLING FLUID

1. Water Based Drilling Fluids

2. Oil Based Drilling Fluids

3. Drilling Fluids with Air or Gas

6. CIRCULATION SYSTEM
3. MENTION THREE COMPONETS OF THE CIRCULATION SYSTEM
1. Suction Tanks or Dams
2. Suction Line
3. Sludge Pumps
4. Pump Discharge Line
5. Rotary Hose
6. Drill Saw

4. MENTION TWO CHARACTERISTCS OF THE CIRCULATION SYSTEM

• Provides the drilling fluid for continuously piston pump

• It is a Centrifugal type pump.

• Operates with diesel engine or, more commonly, with electric mot

7. HOISTING SYSTEM
1. ¿What is the lift system used for?

It is used to raise and lower the drill string

2. ¿What is the drum of the draw works connected to?

It is connected to an electric motor and gearing system

8. ROTARY SYSTEM
1. ¿What types of rotary system are there?
 Rotary table
 Top Drive
 Combination of both
2. Fill in the blanks

The swivel is positioned at the top of the drill string. It has 2 functions:

 Supports the weight of the drill string

 Permits the string to rotate

9. DRILLING PROCESSES
1. Name the Phases of the drilling process

 Completing the Well

 Production Phase
 Abandonment

2. How does drilling process begin?

The process begins by drilling a hole, deep into the earth.

10. GEOLOGY

3. fill in the blank

Geology is the science that deals with the study of land at the subsoil levels, while
petroleum engineering deals with operations involving the mineral resource from the
same subsoil, petroleum.

4. During the preparation of a geological study according to the needs, other

disciplines interact such as:
 geophysics
 seismology
 topography
