Summary
World consumption of primary energy in 1999 was estimated at million tons oil
equivalent. Oil and natural gas accounted for about 65% of the world energy supply.
Offshore areas produced 20-30 % of the oil and gas supply.
Oil and natural gas are brought to the surface from underground reservoirs through wells
that have been drilled pleted to produce these fluids safely and economically.
FundamentalUNESCO technology of drilling, completion - EOLSS and production of oil and gas mon
to onshore and offshore areas. But environmental conditions of a field affect facilities and
engineering works of the field.
This chapter covers the basics of rotary drilling technology, recent progress of drilling
engineering, characteristics of various offshore drilling rigs, and types of offshore
production systems. TheSAMPLE offshore production system CHAPTER adopted to develop a field extends
its influence on the drilling pletion method of the field.
1. Introduction
The chapter describes mainly the present situation of offshore drilling and production of
oil and natural gas. The first section is devoted for an outline of the rotary drilling method,
