The best known example of these are reciprocating piston compressors, the major component being the piston that moves within a cylinder. It operates like any other reciprocating cylinder system, on one cycle te pressure within the cylinder drops and the fluid enters. As the piston proceeds the fluid is compressed and then dis-charged. They may … Continue reading Compressors-Intermittant Compression

Pumps
The pump is a mechanical device that moves liquid from one point to another, by increasing the pressure differential between two points. The pump as a device usually functions by converting energy and by using mechanical parts to initiate this pressure differential. They are driven by any number of equipment, from electric or hydraulic motors … Continue reading Pumps
Stabilizing Tools
Stabilizing Tools Essentially they centre the BHA in the hole. The basic types are rotating and non- rotating. In soft rock it can gauge the hole. The rotating type has blades that are spiraled around the body. The blades can be integral, namely molded onto the body, welded to the body or fastened to the … Continue reading Stabilizing Tools
Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) Configuration
Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) Configuration There are three (3) types of bottom hole configurations; TYPE I - standard, simple configuration, drill collars and drill pipe only. Neutral point lies within the drill collars. TYPE II – uses the heavy weight drill pipe as a transition between the drill collars and the drill pipe. Weight on … Continue reading Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) Configuration
