⚠️ WHEN WELL CONTROL STARTS TO SLIP

Uncontrolled flow at the surface is one of the most dangerous situations a drilling crew can face.

When formation pressure overcomes the barriers designed to contain the well, fluids or gas can rapidly migrate to surface. The violent movement of pipe or tubulars can be another warning of the tremendous forces involved when pressure is no longer under control.

This is why kick detection, proper mud weight, continuous monitoring, reliable barriers, and a fully functional BOP system are critical. A developing well-control event can escalate extremely quickly, putting personnel, equipment, and the entire location at risk.

Every abnormal flow deserves immediate attention. In well control, seconds matter.

👷 Oilfield professionals: what do you think is happening here, and what would be your first indication that well control had been lost?

A chilling reminder of why safety protocols and proper PPE are non-negotiable on the rig. ⚠️
During a routine tripping operation, the massive elevators hoisted upward, catching this derrickman and lifting him completely off the derrick board. For a few heart-stopping seconds, he is left suspended high above the rig floor.
Fortunately, his fall-arrest system did exactly what it was engineered to do—preventing a catastrophic fall and giving the crew time to eventually secure him back to the board safely. #safetyfist #drillingrig #oilandgasindustry #oilfield by @oilregistry_

$A top drive failure can turn a routine drilling operation into a life-threatening event in an instant. When heavy equipment loses support, crews have only fractions of a second to react. Survival often comes down to training, awareness, and following established safety procedures. Accidents like this are rarely caused by a single factor. They raise important questions about: • Equipment inspections • Preventive maintenance • Load path integrity • Risk assessments • Safety barriers designed to prevent catastrophic failure Every near miss is a warning. It offers an opportunity to identify what failed, improve procedures, and prevent the next incident before lives are lost. What do you think is the most common cause of a top drive failure: mechanical failure, maintenance issues, human error, or something else?

Shell just sold its stake in one of Australia’s most important LNG projects — and Abu Dhabi just bought in.
Announced on 3 November 2026, Shell has agreed to sell its entire 16.67% non-operated interest in the North West Shelf project in Western Australia to XRG, the international investment arm of Abu Dhabi’s ADNOC, for a base price of $1.45 billion plus milestone-linked payments. The deal is expected to close in 2027, and XRG will also take on the associated decommissioning obligations. by @oilregistry_

En la industria del petróleo y el gas, comprender las formaciones que perforamos es esencial para operaciones de perforación eficientes y una interpretación geológica precisa.

La radiación gamma (gr) es una de las mediciones clave en el registro geofísico durante la perforación (lwd). Mide la radiactividad natural de las formaciones rocosas, principalmente asociada al potasio (K), el uranio (U) y el torio (Th).

¿Cómo ayuda la radiación gamma durante la perforación?

Identificación de la litología: Ayuda a distinguir las formaciones ricas en lutitas, que generalmente muestran lecturas de rayos gamma más altas, de las formaciones de arenisca y carbonato más limpias, con lecturas más bajas.

Identificación de la parte superior de la formación: Ayuda a los geólogos de campo a identificar los límites de las formaciones y correlacionar las secuencias geológicas.

Monitoreo en tiempo real: Proporciona mediciones del fondo del pozo transmitidas a la superficie mediante telemetría MWD.

Correlación geológica: Permite la comparación con registros de pozos cercanos y secuencias de formación esperadas.

El rol del ingeniero MWD

Como ingenieros MWD, monitoreamos las mediciones de rayos gamma, verificamos la calidad de los datos y garantizamos que se entregue información confiable a los equipos de perforación y geología.

La radiación gamma es más que una simple curva en una pantalla. Proporciona información valiosa sobre las formaciones que perforamos.

En esta serie de videos, explico cómo funcionan las herramientas de rayos gamma, desde la detección en el fondo del pozo y la transmisión de datos hasta la identificación de la litología y la selección de la parte superior de la formación.

Comprender la formación comienza con comprender la medición. by @oilregistry_

Okay, let’s look at the architecture: from the surface down to full depth
A telescopic casing string for every size, with a hole inside the hole. This graphic (the actual tubing strings stacked on site compares the full-hole build, from the largest surface casing to the smallest TD casing.
String size / internal lines and hole depth:
🔵30-inch surface casing string — total length ~50
meters
Provides surface-hole protection, gives initial support, and then the hole is brought back up to surface.
🟣13 3/8-inch casing string - total length ~1,600
meters
Cements the first hole in the deeper problem zones without reconnecting internal lines to surface.
🔷5-inch surface casing string — total length ~3,800
meters
Cements the first hole at full depth.

WHEN THE WEATHER TAKES CONTROL OF THE OILFIELD! 🌪️🛢️

Oilfield operations face more than mechanical and technical challenges. Sudden dust storms and powerful winds can turn a working location into a high-risk environment within seconds.

As visibility drops and wind speeds increase, crews must respond quickly to protect personnel, equipment, and ongoing operations.

⚠️ Key Safety Priorities:

* Suspend Critical Operations: Stop lifting and other wind-sensitive activities when conditions exceed safe operating limits.
* Secure Equipment: Prevent loose materials, tools, and unsecured loads from becoming airborne hazards.
* Protect Personnel: Move crews to designated safe shelters and maintain communication.
* Monitor Weather: Track changing conditions and resume operations only after safety assessments.

In the oilfield, experience and preparation matter, but Mother Nature always has the final word.

💬 Have you ever experienced a dust storm like this while working on a rig?

AUTOMATED TUBULAR MAKEUP: PRECISION, CONTROL & CONNECTION INTEGRITY

Modern tubular running operations combine hydraulic power, mechanized handling, and computerized monitoring to improve connection quality and rig floor safety.

The operation shows a manipulator-mounted hydraulic power tong positioning around the tubular at the well center, with an operator managing the process through a control station.

🔧 How the Technology Works:

🔹 Hydraulic Power Tong: Grips and rotates tubular connections, applying controlled makeup torque.

🔹 Mechanized Manipulator Arm: Positions the tong accurately while reducing manual handling and exposure to pinch points.

🔹 Torque-Turn Monitoring: Automated evaluation systems, such as Weatherford’s VERO®, can analyze connection makeup against manufacturer specifications, helping detect abnormal torque or rotation signatures.

🔹 Remote Operation: Allows personnel to control equipment from a safer position, reducing exposure to high-torque operations.

⚠️ Connection Integrity Matters: Proper alignment, controlled makeup speed, verified torque, and compliance with thread manufacturer specifications are essential to reducing connection damage and downhole integrity risks.

From the rig floor to total depth, precision at every connection makes a difference.

💬 Oilfield professionals: Have you worked with automated power tongs and computerized torque-turn monitoring?
