What is deep drilling?

deep drilling is a survey and extraction of oil and natural gas at a depth of several thousand feet (Appx. Thousand meters) since 2011. Offshore oil drilling began commercially in the 1990s, and in the early 1970s the first wells exceeded 1,000 feet (305 meters). At the beginning of the 21st century, the drilling began to reach several thousand feet and a new term for the depth of drilling known as ultra-ohluboká water, which means 5,000 feet (1,524 meters) or more, has become a practical reality. In April 2011, a world record for successful deep drilling was a functional oil hole at sea 10 194 feet (3 107 meters) set drills along the coast of India. However, this is replaced by a well, a completed well that has not yet been fully tapped on oil or natural gas at the time of the Russian island of Sakhalin in January 2011, which reached a depth of 40 502 feet (12,345 meters).

both oil survey and gas survey, deep waters have become feasible only in the 21st century from several key reasonat. Among them is the primary rising price for commodities of fossil fuels on the world market from 2007 to 2008, as well as progress in the technology that has shown this practice. Prices of rising oil and gas are considered to be a direct cause of oil platforms in deep water in the Gulf of Mexico, which in 1992 went from three platforms in 1992 to a total of 36 operating platforms by 2009. 5,000 prices, which are exceptionally in Mexican within 5,000 feet within 5,000. meters).

, however, the deep water drilling technology is not entirely proven, as one of the greatest leaks of oil in world history illustrates. The Deepwater Horizon Chorn of April 2010 is spiabed with an estimated 205,800,000 gallons (779,037,745 liters) of oil to the Gulf of Mexico, or about half of the amount of oil purchased from foreign suppliers every day. WaveDa US government was justified by Deepwater Horizon drilling to drill 18,000 feet (5,486 meters), but there is evidence that the company actually drilled to a depth of 25,000 feet (7,620 meters) when the accident occurred.

Oil production continues to be directed to deep drilling, but most of the ultra-omens water sets draw in full capacity, while 50% of shallow waters in large oil survey companies were off. An incredible increase in depth is put into a perspective when it is considering that drilling has taken place in the North Sea area between the United Kingdom and the European mainland for decades. The shallow water, oil fields with solid platforms in the North Sea, which are considered fully used, are on average drilled only to a depth of 328 feet (100 meters) and deep drilling at the time they were in full production, was considered to be anything at a depth of 500 feet (152 meters) or more.
