Poem on Petroleum Industry's operations

Every field has a history to tell

In the beginning, it’s the wildcat well

With little geological and offset data

It’s the exploration of the mysterious strata

 

Lift the derrick, set the rig

Attach the bit and start the dig

critical the operation; it would be

prevent the blowout by the BOP

 

 

Maintain the specific hydrostatic head

Balance the pressure of formation bed

Neither let the kick to cause

Check for any circulation loss

 

after drilling is successfully done

its time for the casing run

with casing collars and shoe at bottom

attach them hang them one by one

 

After reaching the TVD

fill the casings with slurry

above the slurry place the plug

for displacement use the heavy slug

 

Measure the absolute open flow

through isochronal and flow after flow

plot the vlp and IPR

find the operating point so far

 

after performing the dst

its time to replace the BOP

then without any further delay

install the  Xmas tree

 

now its time for next tool run

commonly known as perforation gun

keep the mud weight high or low

for under or overbalance flow

 

replace the mud with heavy brine

place the plugs with wireline

isolate the oil potential zone

set the packers at depth known

 

run in hole the logging tool

with wireline wrapped around spool

lower the tool with certain pace

Interpret the signals at surface

 

 

lower the drawdown fulfill the need

controlled by the choke size indeed

BHP reduced oilflow starts

once oil was trapped now it is freed.
