Assam has abundant mineral resources coal, petroleum, limestone and natural gas are the principal mineral resources. It is also the largest producer of crude oil in India. Other minor minerals include magnetic quartzite, silimanites, iron, ore clay and fredspar etc. Oil India Limited (OIL) is the second largest hydrocarbon exploration and production Indian public sector company with its operational headquaters in Duliajan, Assam. India under the adminstrative control of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. Assam is a major producer of crude oil and natural gas in India. It was the second place in the world where petroleum was discovered. Asia's first sucessful mechanically drilled oil well was Makum (Assam) way back in 1867. The second oldest oil well in the world still produces crude oil. One of the biggest public sector oil companies in the country. Assam has four oil refineries located at Guwahati, Digboi, Numaligarh, and Bongaigoan with total capacity of 7 MMTPA (...

Important Role of Pressure Transmitters in the Oil & Gas Industry The pressure is on to employ tough, dependable measurement instrumentation in the oil and gas industry's dynamic and volatile environment to keep operations running efficiently and safely. As oil exploration activities move deeper into distant places in search of new oil supplies, the equipment used in research, drilling, and production has gotten increasingly complicated, necessitating the usage of trustworthy and robust pressure sensors more than ever. Wellheads, hydraulic fracturing, service vehicles, drilling equipment, mud systems, intelligent pigs, core analysis, compression systems, and vapour recovery units are all applications that need hazardous site pressure transmitters. Millions of gallons of water, sand, and chemical additives are injected into the well during hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to break apart rock and liberate gas and oil. High pressures of up to 10,000 psi are used to inject these ...

  Mumbai High Field Bombay High is an offshore oilfield on the Arab Sea, some 160 kilometres west of the Mumbai Coast, India. Bombay High is an offshore oilfi eld on the Arab Sea, about 160 kilometres west of the Mumbai Coast, India. The field, which was founded in 1974, began production by the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation in 1976. (ONGC). The petroleum field includes two blocks, the High North of Mumbai and the High South Mumbai blocks (MHS). The blocks are divided on the basis of shallow barriers which help to exploit the reserves independently in both locations. Mumbai High currently stores 1,659 million tonnes of oil (MMt) and produces about 12 Mt per year. For the second phase of the MHN Redevelopment scheme, approval was given by the ONGC Board in January 2009, followed by the third in June 2014. Info on the Mumbai High Field discovery When mapping the Gulf of Cambay between 1964 and 1967, a Russian and Indian team from the seismic exploration vessel Academic Arkhangelsky ...

  Drilling Employment and Offshore Oil Rig Jobs  Working onboard an oil rig or in the gas industry is definitely hard work in a demanding environment. There are a large number of offshore oil rig jobs that are available. The range of employment opportunities include: Driller, Derrickman, Shakerhand or Mudman, Toolpusher, Floormen or Roughnecks, Motorman, Assistant Driller, Crane Operator, Roustabouts, Cleaner/Painter, Storekeeper, Mechanic/Electrician, Sub Sea Engineer, Rig Mechanic, Rig Electrician, Rig Welder, Barge Engineer, Ballast Controlman or Watchstander, Captain and Chief Engineer, Rig Medic and Safety Man. While many of the offshore oil rig jobs are physical in nature, many of the rig companies go out of their way to make sure your time spent onboard is an enjoyable one. For instance employees may find themselves living in accommodation wings that meet 4 or 5 star hotel standards - despite the fact that you a living in the middle of the ocean. While you are on board...

Petroleum Industry The petroleum industry, also known as oil industry, includes the global presence of exploration, extraction, refining, trransporting through oil tankers and pipelines and marketing of petroleum products. The largest volume products of the  industry are fuel oil amd gasoline (petrol). Petroleum is also the raw material for many chemical products, including pharmaceuticals, solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, synthetic fragrance, and plastics.  The industry is usually divided into three major components : Upstream, Midstream  and  Downstream.  Upstream deals with Drilling and Production. Upstream Sector :-  •  The ups tream sector includes searching for potential underground  or underwater crude oil and natural gas fields . Ex ploration  Services  involve use of seismic methods to evaluate wh ere and how to prove a drilling  prospect , high speed computers, 3D  and visual  interpretation theatres. Drilling...

Petroleum Industry The oil and gas industry is usually divided into three major sector : upstream, midstream and downstream. Upstream Sector:-  • The upstream sector includes searching for potential underground or underwater crude oil and natural gas fields. Exploration Services involve use of seismic methods to evaluate where and how to prove a drilling prospect, high speed computers, 3D and visual interpretation theatres. Drilling includes well design, drilling rig operation  and process and related technologies. Well Completion involves bringing the production on line with advanced downhole equipment applications, downhole monitoring and automated well control equipment. Midstream Sector  • Midstream is a term used to describe one of the three major stages of oil and gas industry. Midstream activities include the storage, processing and transportation of petroleum product and natural gas. • Midstream refers to points in the oil production process that ...

Petroleum Engineering Petroleum engineering is a recent development in the field of technical education which is becoming very much popular among young masses.Petroleum Engineers are involved in exploration and production activities of petroleum which is an upstream end of an energy sector. Petroleum Engineering is a field of engineering concerned with the activities related to the production of hydrocarbons, which can be either crude oil of natural gas. Exploration and production are deemed to fall with in the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry. The prime motive of petroleum engineers to locate a natural reservoirs of petroleum deposits. They work to develop more effective, cost-efficient methods of petroleum recovery through the application of principles from chemistry, mathematics, engineering and geology.  The study covers a wide range of topics including economics, geology, geochemistry, geopolitics, geomechanics, geophysics, oil drilling, knowledge management, seismo...
