Horizontal Directional Drilling is the science of drilling a wellbore at a predetermined well trajectory, angle and horizontal direction so as to intersect a subsurface target. Although wellbores are usually drilled in a vertical direction, at times it is advantageous to drill them at an angle from the vertical direction. The well is drilled at […]

Oil and natural gas are naturally occurring chemicals that are made up of just two elements — carbon and hydrogen. The class of chemicals based on carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons.
¿Qué es el gas de formación?
Forming gas is a mixture of hydrogen (mole fraction varies) and nitrogen. It is sometimes called a “dissociated ammonia atmosphere” due to the reaction which generates it: 2 NH3 → 3 H2 + N2 It can also be manufactured by thermal cracking of ammonia, in an ammonia cracker or forming gas generator. Forming gas is used as an atmosphere for processes that need the properties of […]

Exploration and production industry (Upstream Oil and Gas) Upstream Oil and Gas is a sector of the oil and gas industry which deals with exploring hydrocarbon reserves, extracting and transporting them for further processing. In simple terms Upstream Oil and Gas is also referred to Exploration and Production (E&P) sector. The Exploration of reserves can […]
Qué es el petróleo crudo
Crude Oil is a naturally occurring petroleum product found beneath the earth’s surface. Crude oil can be refined to produce usable products such as gasoline, diesel and various forms of petrochemicals. It is a nonrenewable resource, also known as a fossil fuel, which means that it can’t be replaced naturally at the rate we consume […]
¿Qué es el crudo brent?
El crudo Brent es una importante clasificación comercial de crudo ligero dulce que sirve de precio de referencia para las compras de petróleo en todo el mundo. Este grado se describe como ligero por su densidad relativamente baja, y dulce por su bajo contenido en azufre. El crudo Brent se extrae del Mar del Norte y comprende los crudos Brent Blend, Forties Blend, Oseberg y Ekofisk (también conocidos como cotización BFOE). El Brent [...]
What are oil and natural gas
Oil and natural gas are naturally occurring chemicals that are made up of just two elements — carbon and hydrogen. The class of chemicals based on carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. The simplest hydrocarbon, methane, is made up of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. Other hydrocarbons like octane and octadecane have more […]
What is petroleum
Petroleum (also known as crude oil or simply oil) is a fossil fuel that was formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms. Millions of years ago, algae and plants lived in shallow seas. After dying and sinking to the seafloor, the organic material mixed with other sediments and was buried. Over millions of years […]
