Good morning I hope your night was great perhaps if you dream about me, The pics above is where i work I want to intimate you with the sort of job I do, and what a typical work day entails for me. I work in Gaza in a place to the Mediterranean sea , I work on a rig which is an oil platform, it is a large structure used to house workers and machinery needed to drill /or produce oil and natural gas through wells in the ocean bed or on land. Depending on the circumstances, the platform may be attached to the earth crust as in my case I work on a platform in the Mediterranean sea. here are a few professionals on my wage roll that I supervise to meet up clients demands. I supervise Mud loggers and Drillers - for you to be able to have a clearer picture of how the operation goes on a daily basis, I will have to intimate you with some of the professionals employers in my crew.
1) Mud engineers:
A mud engineer (correctly called a Drilling Fluids Engineer, but sometimes referred to as the “Mud Man”, though women also do this job today) works on an oil well drilling rig, and is responsible for the drilling fluid, also known as drilling mud which lubricates the drill bit and clears cuttings from the borehole.As the hole gets deeper, more mud is required, and the mud engineer is responsible for making sure that it is made up to specification. The chemical composition of the mud will be designed so as not to destabilize the hole.
2) The Driller:
Observes pressure gauge and move throttles and levers in order to control the speed of rotary tables, and to regulate pressure of tools at bottoms of boreholes.Count sections of drill rod in order to determine depths of boreholes.Push levers and brake pedals in order to control gasoline, diesel, electric, or steam draw works that lower and raise drill pipes and casings in and out of wells.During exploration and appraisal drilling projects, here are few tips on what I do.
1) Analysis
Analyzing, evaluating and describing formations while drilling using cuttings, gas, FEMWD (formation evaluation measurement while drilling) and wire line data; comparing data gathered during drilling with predictions made at exploration stage.
2) Advising operations personnel on site and in operations office:
Identifying lithographically formation boundaries, casing setting depths and coring points calling for coring on shows and gas; Advising on drilling hazards and drilling bit optimization;
3) Decision making :
Supervising mud logging (Geoservices), FEMWD (Sperry Sun) and wire line services personnel; monitoring quality control in relation to mud logging, FEMWD and wire line services; keeping detailed records and Checking reports; undertaking evaluation of offset data before beginning drilling; maintaining up-to-date knowledge of MWD (measuring while drilling) tools such as gamma and resistivity, as Geo-steering becomes increasingly important; supervising drilling engineers, petroleum engineers and mud loggers.
4) Training:
Training staff as required; acting, in effect, as the representative of the onshore oil company geology team; communicating with onshore operations offices; ensuring transmission of logs and reports; supervising one or more wells in the same area.
5) Correlation:
Correlation and Interpretation of Wire line logs, Mud logs, 3D/4D Seismic data.+ Design/planning of 3D Seismic Data. Compilation of Survey Data (Gyro/MWD)+ Design/planning of 3D Seismic Data. Compilation of Survey Data (Gyro/MWD) Correlation of Wire line logs. Preparation of Structural Cross Sections.
6) Surveys and Reports:
Geo-technical surveying (Soil testing), Analysis of field samples and lab results. Ground water Exploration and development: Ethological logging, Wire line logging (SP and Resistivity) and Interpretation. Preparing detailed geologic, geophysical and geo-technical reports.
