Problems with oil drilling
The most prevalent drilling problems include pipe sticking, lost circulation, hole deviation, pipe failures, borehole instability, mud contamination, formation damage, hole cleaning, H 2 S-bearing formation and shallow gas, and equipment and personnel-related problems. Drilling can be continued in such circumstances but it can be risky for the operations, following this procedure can cause underground cavities. This situation can be corrected by multiple solutions like using lost circulation material, reducing flow rate, controlling rate of penetration, thickening the drilling mud by using lime or cement. Drilling Problems and Drilling Operations. If a tool is lost or the drill string breaks, the obstruction in the well is called junk or fish. It cannot be drilled through. Special grabbing tools are used to retrieve the junk in a process called fishing. In extreme cases, explosives can be used to blow up the junk and then the pieces can be retrieved with a magnet. Drilling problems. It is almost certain that problems will occur while drilling a well, even in very carefully planned wells. For example, in areas in which similar drilling practices are used, hole problems may have been reported where no such problems existed previously because formations are nonhomogeneous. Oil causes cancer. Regular contact with oil and gas causes cancer. Children living near oil refineries are much more likely to get cancer of the blood (leukemia) than those who live farther away. People living in areas where oil is drilled are much more likely to develop cancers of the stomach, bladder, and lungs than people living in other places. Workers in oil refineries have a high risk of cancer of the lip, stomach, liver, pancreas, connective tissue, prostate, eye, brain, and blood.
