  • Hey guys, waht that rock song called in the middle of the video? Please answer. Thanx.

  • @allwaysjustified It's been a while since this was created but I believe the music was composed in Garageband.

  • No it's drilling mud. Has many functions but the main two are to help maintain wellbore pressure so the well does not collapse under pressure and it helps keep the bit cool and lubricated. It also carries the cuttings to the surface.

  • Rotary turns to the right...and roller cones don't just turn by themselves...but other than that it was a cool animation.

see all

  • is the drill pipe turning in the right direction? hahaha

  • @mrcutssupreme Main functions are to maintain hydrostatic pressure in the wellbore to keep the high pressure oil and gas out so it doesn't reach surface uncontrolled ie. blowout. And yes, to remove cuttings. Cooling and lubing the bit happens, but it is not something that is taken into consideration when selecting mud, it isn't necessary. You can drill with air which doesn't do nearly as much cooling or lubing, or prevent a well from collapsing.

  • Wats that rock song please im wanting him verywhere

  • 6 BP workers disliked this.

  • Armageddon!!!!

  • @SuPrAmAd101 me too

  • @Masterfilm15 i have kids, i still rely on petrol to get me to work no question about it.

  • @SuPrAmAd101 well the information and energies are out there,,, reading your comments leads me to believe your selfish rude and narrow minded... because again you base your whole view off your wants and life and no other,,, do you have kids? if not thats why,, if so wake up and smell the oil fumes your young ones will be breathing,,, being bashful to an outside view to yours is simple dumb and not being very aware your life dose not matter to the over all picture of this world

  • @Masterfilm15 ok... so would you like to tell me how i could travel 30 miles round trip to work each day using wind power or water power?

    Im glad we have tree's and i have recently planted another 5 in my garden, but the simple fact is, little green people like you will not spoil my life just because you dont believe in it, if you dont like it... fuck off and live under the sea.

  • @SuPrAmAd101 well there's a huge amount of clean energies we can use,, infact there so many that would keep us worry free about energies for years to come.. hope you have a great day !!! and yes those trees give you the air you breath ,,, but oil gets you around,, and thats all that matters to you?

    ok peace chill out no need to make your self look ignorant on the net ,,,
