Скачать или смотреть How Do Oil Rigs Work? Drilling, Casing, Mud & Blowout Prevention in 3D

Ever wondered how oil rigs drill thousands of feet below the surface to extract crude oil? This 3D animation takes you deep into the fascinating world of oil exploration and drilling — from the first seismic survey to the final drop of crude oil.

In this video, you’ll learn:
– Seismic surveys using vibroseis trucks and geophones to detect oil reserves.
– Geological mapping to locate porous rock layers trapped beneath cap rock.
– Land-based and offshore oil rigs and how they operate.
– Wellbore drilling with roller cone bits, kelly drive systems, and casing installation.
– Drilling mud circulation for cooling, lubrication, and debris removal.
– Blowout preventers that protect against dangerous high-pressure kicks.
– Horizontal drilling technology to maximise extraction from a single well.
– Beam pumps and submersible pumps used for oil lifting onshore and offshore.

Whether it’s a 7000-foot land well or a deep-sea offshore rig, see the complete engineering process that powers the global oil industry.
