A drilling rig or oil rig is a structure housing equipment used to drill for oil or natural gas from underground reservoirs. Sometimes a drilling rig is also used to complete (prepare for production) the well. However, the rig itself is not involved with the extraction of the oil, its primary function is to make a hole in the ground so that the oil can be produced. Drilling rigs can also be used to drill for water or for exploration purposes, or to obtain mineral core samples.

Rigzone.com is a Gateway to the Oil and Gas Industry, providing us with industry news and information, the Online Oil & Gas Directory, careers, a classifieds marketplace, and more. I personally knew about the site, because students from my college(Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, Patiala, India , http://tiet.ac.in), who are doing Chemical Engineering, had a project on Oil and Natural Gas, and they used to frequent visit the website. They worked so well on the project, that got recruited in Oil and Natural Gas Corporation of India, directly after completing their Undergraduate Studies.

Haystar P from Haytak FZE is used for the above application.\n\nThe main requirement for Oil Well Drilling Applications is that the starch is soluble at room (or desert) temperature. Normal plain starch dissolves only when boiling. This would be unpractical at the rig site. In order to modify the native starch to become water soluble at room temperature, the most successful way is by extrusion. This machine, usually very expensive and big, continuously heats, pressurizes and mixes the native starch with any additional required additives. As a result, a granulated high temperature starch is produced, which has many applications in addition to Drilling Starch. This product is also used in Foods as well as Paints, Cardboard and Paper industry. \nObviously, the higher temperature the starch is run at in the extruder, the higher it can withstand during drilling!

It is very hard to get a job on the offshore rigs without some experience first. I would start looking for some entry level jobs first and then go from there. You have to have a lot of safety training for the rigs and most companies are not going to the expense of training someone without first knowing the work habits of the individual. You can pay for these classes yourself and include them on your resume and you should get picked up pretty quick.

There are many companies like this. Take a look at Rigzone.com\nhttp://www.rigzone.com/\nYou can look through the industry directory, and even the career center. They also have lots of news about the industry.\n\nAnother source: Oil and Gas Journal at \nhttp://ogj.pennnet.com/\nThey have a jobs section and lots of information about companies in the oil industry as well as statistical data about production, imports, etc.

Insufficient information. Are you building a dog house or a million barrel a day refinery? Is the locate remote, offshore, next door, only accessible in summer, etc? \n\nWho is the designer, who is the constructor, who is the owner, who is the operator, what is the role of any governmental agencies, etc?

Loads of stuff. Oil is broken down in to many different substances, and stuff is made from them. Plastic, polyester, polythene, nylon etc. They use a bi-product to make roads. Plus lubricants, vaseline, industrial grease. I think you can get alcohols from it, ethanol, methanol etc. Different fuels come from it, diesel, aviation fuel, jet fuel, normal fuel. You'd be surprised.\nUuuh, and all the stuff he said up there too.

Mud logging is done on oil and gas wells to better understand the nature of wells that are being produced.  It is done when they are drilling a well, so they are analyzing the drill mud that is coming back up from the well.  The analysis helps them know where they are during drilling and when they've found a spot that is producing.  That is an extremely basic  understanding of mud logging as that's all I know, but look further on the internet to learn more.  Check out the link, it's got good stuff.

The dry it up with special materials.  Also, they have been know to vacuum it up.  Additionally, I have seen them using bulldozers and scooping the contaminated sand up and replacing it with new sand.  They try and wash the oil off all of the animals that were unlucky enough to get caught up in the spill.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN FOR? IS IT THE HARDWARE TOWER ANTENNA, TRANSMITTER/ RECEIVER , DISPLAY??????\n\nWhat specification\n\nWhat are they looking for is it a weather radar or is it a navigation radar.  IS is used for landing aircraft aboard the rig?  Is the rig on the land or is it in the water.  Is the rig in the Gulf of Mexico or is it in the North Atlantic. If it is in some body of water what body.  If it is land bound where?  Is it within 150 miles of an airport?\n\nWhere is the rig located and what does the radar need to see?  Is it for the Weather or Aircraft?\n\nWHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE RADAR ON THE RIG IF IT IS AN OIL DRILLING RIG???\n\nWHAT DOES TEXACO NEED RADAR FOR ???\n\nBe glad to help \n\nAPS

Offshore or onshore?  Pride, Ensco, Diamond Offshore....and the list goes on and on.  Check out www.rigzone.com, click on the career center tab.  You will want to be looking for a position as a 'roustabout' which is basically bottom of the barrel.  You still make descent money, but if you can hack it you will move up like any other job.  Plan on moving to Houston, or somewhere in south Louisiana.  Good luck

Above ground: Use infrared satellite imaging and put a hiking path along there for manual inspection. Use a robot inside the pipe too. What does the US Alaskan oil pipeline use?\n\nBelow ground: Run a robot through the pipe that has sensitive acoustic ears to hear or sense local turbulence. Maybe active sonar pinging would help detect problems. If you could stop the water flow once per day it would be easier to detect smaller leaks.
