Conventional Oil Vs. Unconventional Oil Extraction: The Basic Differences

The oil and gas industry has its fair share of technical jargon or rhetoric. Terms like BOEPD, downstream or upstream, and Christmas tree won’t make your mind jump instantly to oil or gas. Similarly, “conventional” and “unconventional” are terms that are commonly used throughout the O&G sector. While both are drilling techniques, what’s the future like …

An Oil Company’s Perspective on Offshore Drilling Rigs

Offshore drilling rigs are on the rise. As of 2021, the oceans house 201 offshore rigs—not much compared to land-based rigs (1,309). However, offshore drilling can be an extremely intricate process. The world is 71% water. Strategizing the perfect extraction spot is just a step below spotting the Loch Ness monster, i.e., so difficult as to be impossible. …

Benefits And Consequences Of Offshore Drilling

Offshore drilling refers to oil and gas exploration and production companies harvesting oil and gas reserves from beneath the ocean. It differs from onshore drilling, which involves drilling wells to extract oil and gas from underneath the Earth.  Statistics show that approximately 28 percent of the world’s oil will be produced offshore by 2025. Meanwhile, onshore drilling …
