created, as a result of co-mingling of drilling fluids with the
reservoir fluids is a _________ tool -
correct answer ✅SP

You are drilling a well, using a water-base mud ,into a Louisiana gulf
coast formation, at 18,000 feet (TVD). If the formation was over-
pressured by 1,500 psi, what mud-weight would you need to equal
formation pressure? -
correct answer ✅7.33 ppg, 10.54 ppg
There are 43,560 sq. ft., in an acre. Your friend wants you to invest
in a newly discovered oil field where the reservoir extends
approximately 65 acres of land. The top of the reservoir is located
at 12,000 ft. (TVD) and the bottom of the productive zone is located
at 12, 025 ft. (TVD). From the sonic log delta-t reads 90 usec/ft.,
and from the electric log the deep induction curve reads 0.27 ohms
in a 100% wet sandstone that has no shale or other rocks/minerals
in it, and the deep induction curve reads 3.0 ohms in the zone of
interest (target zone). The formation recovery factor is 65% and Bo
is equal to 1.4. The amount of OOIP and STB is equal to
_____________/____________. -

___________ a drilling rig system in which the source of power is
one or more internal combustion engine and in which the power is
distributed to rig components through mechanical devices (such as
chains, sprockets, clutches, and shafts).

correct answer ✅mechanical drive
_____________ is a drilling rig system on which the energy from
the power source, usually several diesel engines, is changed to
electricity by generators mounted on the engines. The electrical
power is then distributed through electrical conductors to electric
motors. The motors power various rig components.

correct answer ✅electrical drive
_____________ is the column, or string, of drill pipe with attached
tool joints that transmits fluid and rotational power from the kelly
to the drill collars and the bit. Often especially in the oil patch, the
term is loosely applied to include both drill pipe and drill collars.
