GENERAL DRILL [12 records]

Record 1 2015-03-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Drilling
  • Types of Ships and Boats
CONT

... floating drilling vessels [include] the two surface-type mobile units, i.e., the ship and barge units, and the column-stabilized or semi-submersible units.

CONT

Drilling vessels that are essentially of ship or barge type, of normal configuration and proportions, and which operate in all conditions as typical surface displacement vessels, are to have scantlings that meet the requirements of "Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels" or "Rules for Building and Classing Steel Barges for Offshore Service" of current issue. Additional consideration for unusual loadings due to drilling operations, mooring, etc., and for unusual configurations such as catamarans, outriggers, etc., will be specially considered ...

CONT

The E-Z tree is a valve-latch assembly landed in the B.O.P. stack to form a temporary production tree during offshore tests carried out from a floating drilling vessel.

OBS

Floating drilling rigs are normally referred to as "drill vessels" or "drilling vessels" and are in the truest sense of the word "vessels. "For a seafaring man, however, they differ in many respects from his general conception of a vessel. [As opposed to the traditional vessel, ] the drill vessel often anchors for weeks and even months at one location. It may move only short distances from well to well. Seldom, if ever, does it need to visit port except for major repair or inspection.... Many drill vessels, semi-submersibles for instance, cannot even be handled in present dry-dock facilities because of their size.

OBS

Vessel. Means every vessel which by means of its special outfit, purpose, design, or function engages in certain industrial ventures. Included in this classification are such vessels as drill rigs, missile range ships, dredges, cable layers, derrick barges, pipe lay barges, construction and wrecking barges. Excluded from this classification are vessels carrying freight for hire or engaged in oceanography, limnology, or the fishing industry.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Forage des puits de pétrole
  • Types de bateaux
CONT

Le principe même [des plateformes autoélévatrices] limite leurs performances: les plus récentes, dont les piles dépassent les 100 mètres peuvent forer par 90 mètres d'eau. Au-delà de cette profondeur, on utilise des engins de forage flottants, navires ou plateformes semi-submersibles.

Record 2 2011-09-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Drilling
DEF

A well drilled in an area where no oil or gas production exists.

CONT

The success ratio in modern drilling has been about one producing well out of nine wildcat wells. Exploratory wells are drilled to extend the boundary of a known producing area in an attempt to discover new pools or define the limits of known reservoirs.

OBS

In general, wildcat wells are drilled from mobile, floating vessels(as semisubmersible drilling rigs and drill ships) or from jack-up drilling rigs, while development wells are drilled from platforms.

OBS

WC: ... abbreviation ... used in drilling reports.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Forage des puits de pétrole

OBS

En jargon de métier, un puits d'exploration en territoire vierge est un «wild cat», un chat sauvage, par opposition aux puits de confirmation et aux puits de développement dans un sous-sol déjà éprouvé.

CONT

A Practical Drill for the Airborne Profile Recorder-The paper attempts to set out detailed working procedures for the use of Airborne Profile Records, based on a number of experiments carried out by the author during the last four years and a study of experiments carried out by others. The general working principles of A. P. R. are first described. Detailed requirements are then given with regard to the material and records which it is necessary to obtain from the contractor who will operate the A. P. R. This is followed by a description of the preliminary analysis of this material which is necessary before work can start.

CONT

... photogrammetric methods are used to establish a precise horizontal control for the aerial photographs and airborne profile records for the establishment of basic elevation control.

OBS

airborne profile record: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

Subject field(s)
  • Drilling (Machine-Tooling)
OBS

A bush intended for insertion in a liner and used for guiding a drill or reamer. There are two types of renewable bushes : the "slip" bush designed to facilitate rapid changing in cases where, for instance, several different operations and tools are required to follow the same general guide, and the "fixed" type which is intended to remain in the jig until too worn for further use(see 3. 2. 1, 3. 2. 2 and 3. 2. 3).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Perçage (Usinage)
OBS

Guide prévu pour être monté dans une douille porte-guide, utilisé pour guider un foret ou un alésoir. On distingue les guides "à montage rapide" conçus pour faciliter le changement rapide dans le cas où, par exemple, plusieurs opérations différentes avec des outils différents doivent se succéder, et le type "fixe" qui reste monté dans le gabarit jusqu'à usure (voir 3.2.1 et 3.2.3).
