Oil well Oil well. The pumpjack, such as this one located south of Midland, Texas, is a common sight in West Texas. An oil well is a boring in the Earth that is designed to bring petroleum oil hydrocarbons to the surface. Usually some natural gas is produced along with the oil. A well that is designed to produce mainly or only gas may be termed a gas well.

oil spill an accidental release of oil into a body of water, as from a tanker, offshore drilling rig, or underwater pipeline, often presenting a hazard to marine life and the environment. Apparently the the March 2006 Prudhoe Bay oil spill, the worst in Alaska's state history, was no big fuss to Governor Palin.

Special Report: Why the BP Oil Rig Blowout Happened April 20 was a triumphant evening for British Petroleum and the crew of Transocean's Deepwater Horizon. Floating 52 miles off the coast of Louisiana in 5000 feet of water, the oil rig was close to completing a well 13,000 feet beneath the ocean floor—an operation so complex it's often compared to flying to the moon.

What is an 'Oil Refinery' Oil Refinery. Share. DEFINITION of 'Oil Refinery'. An industrial plant that refines crude oil into petroleum products such as diesel, gasoline and heating oils. Oil refineries essentially serve as the second stage in the production process following the actual extraction by oil rigs.

The Evolution of Plants and Fungi: Characteristics & Evolutionary History Characteristics of Fungi and Plants. Both the plant and fungus kingdoms have some common characteristics. First, they are both eukaryotic, meaning they belong to the Eukarya domain and that their cells contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.lants, such as trees, flowers, and ferns, are eukaryotic, non-motile organisms that use photosynthesis to get energy. Remember that photosynthesis is a process that converts sunlight and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar. While both plants and fungi have cell walls, the cell walls in plants are made of cellulose.

Drilling rig A drilling rig is a machine that creates holes in the earth sub-surface. Drilling rigs can be massive structures housing equipment used to drill water wells, oil wells, or natural gas extraction wells, or they can be small enough to be moved manually by one person and are called augers.irect push drilling rigs use hydraulic cylinders and a hydraulic hammer in advancing a hollow core sampler to gather soil and groundwater samples. The speed and depth of penetration is largely dependent on the soil type, the size of the sampler, and the weight and power of the rig.

Oil Location Oil is found in underground pools of oil called reservoirs. This oil location is not what one might typically expect when considering the term pool. It is impossible to go swimming in these pools! Industry experts use the term pool to define accumulations of hydrocarbon in zones of subsurface rock. (see oil accumulation).

Definition of shale oil Definition of shale oil. Shale oil is extracted from reserves, sometimes described as tight oil reserves, held in shales and other rock formations from which it will not naturally flow freely. Shale oil has become more accessible due to advances in the techniques of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing or fracking.

Continuous hydrocarbon accumulation over a large area as a distinguishing characteristic of unconventional petroleum: The Ordos Basin, North-Central China 2. Geological characteristics of conventional hydrocarbon accumulation in a trap. Conventional hydrocarbon accumulation is the key to traditional petroleum geology and usually refers to an individual hydrocarbon accumulation in a single trap with a uniform pressure system and oil–water contact.f there is only oil (gas) in the trap, it is called an oil (gas) pool, whereas if there are both oil and gas, it is called a petroleum pool. A conventional hydrocarbon accumulation is a three-dimensional (3D) geological entity with clear boundaries.
