  2. Submersible pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submersible_pump

    A submersible pump (or electric submersible pump (ESP) is a device which has a hermetically sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body. The whole assembly is submerged in the fluid to be pumped. The main advantage of this type of pump is that it prevents pump cavitation, a problem associated with a high elevation difference between the pump ...

  3. Completion (oil and gas wells) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completion_(oil_and_gas_wells)

    Casing and tubing flow: means that there is tubing within the casing that allows fluid to reach the surface. This tubing can be used as a kill string for chemical injection. The tubing may have a “no-go” nipple at the end as a means of pressure testing. Pumping flow: the tubing and pump are run to a depth beneath the working fluid. The pump ...

  4. Artificial lift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_lift

    Artificial lift is the use of artificial means to increase the flow of liquids, such as crude oil or water, from a production well. Generally this is achieved by the use of a mechanical device inside the well (known as pump or velocity string) or by decreasing the weight of the hydrostatic column by injecting gas into the liquid some distance down the well.

  5. Blowout (well drilling) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_(well_drilling)

    Blowout (well drilling) The Lucas Gusher at Spindletop, Texas (1901) A blowout is the uncontrolled release of crude oil and/or natural gas from an oil well or gas well after pressure control systems have failed. [1] Modern wells have blowout preventers intended to prevent such an occurrence. An accidental spark during a blowout can lead to a ...

  6. Casing (borehole) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casing_(borehole)

    Casing is a large diameter pipe that is assembled and inserted into a recently drilled section of a borehole. Similar to the bones of a spine protecting the spinal cord, casing is set inside the drilled borehole to protect and support the wellstream. The lower portion (and sometimes the entirety) is typically held in place with cement. [1]

  7. Pumping station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumping_station

    A pumping station is an integral part of a pumped-storage hydroelectricity installation. Pumping stations are designed to move water or sewage from one location to another, overcoming gravitational challenges, and are essential for maintaining navigable canal levels, supplying water, and managing sewage and floodwaters.

  8. Well cementing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_cementing

    Well cementing. Well cementing is the process of introducing cement to the annular space between the well-bore and casing or to the annular space between two successive casing strings. [1] Personnel who conduct this job are called "Cementers".

  9. Deepwater Horizon explosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepwater_Horizon_explosion

    The valves are held open by a 2-inch diameter auto-fill tube to allow the casing to fill with mud while it is lowered down the well. BP's casing installation procedure stated: "slowly increase (mud) pump rates greater than 8 bpm to convert the float equipment (~ 500 – 700 psi) per Weatherford recommendation". [75] Pressure test wrongly ...
