Geophysicist, Geologist, or Petrophysicist? Why the Divide? I often hear: ? “I am a #geophysicist, not a #geologist.” ? “I am a #petrophysicist, not a #geologist.” But why do we separate what was meant to work together? Geophysics and petrophysics were never meant to be independent fields—they were developed as tools for geology. Yet, somewhere along the way, the industry built silos that now create confusion, inefficiencies, and even misinterpretations of subsurface data. Let’s Challenge the Status Quo: ? Can a geophysicist interpret seismic without a deep understanding of geology? ? Can a petrophysicist analyze logs without considering the geophysical context? ? Can a geologist build a subsurface model without integrating seismic and petrophysical insights? ? Should universities stop separating these disciplines and train students as integrated geoscientists? These divisions didn’t exist in the early days of exploration—so why do we reinforce them now? The best subsurface professionals see connections, not boundaries. Your Turn: Let’s Debate! ?? Have you experienced these barriers in your career? ?? Do we need more integration, or is specialization necessary? ?? What should companies and universities do to fix this? Let’s discuss! #Geophysics #Geology #Petrophysics #Geoscience #Integration #Collaboration #Silos #Subsurface #seg #eage #aapg #spwla

Today we will watch a video on the circulation of fluid during drilling. ?????? Watch more videos on our hashtag #drilling_manual_videos_library Telegram Free Books Channel: https://lnkd.in/dgnyhW2Q Youtube Channel: https://bit.ly/3pKS5dd The animation shows a drilling of an oil well, and during drilling a fluid circulation is made. 1- BOP (blowout preventer): The BOP allows the closure of the annular space and can be of two types: annular BOP and drawer BOP. 2- Shale Shaker: It has the function of separating the coarser solids of the drilling fluid, such as gravels and grains larger than sand by the vibration . 3- Desander, Desalter, and Tank: Together with the Shale Shaker, it consists of the elimination of solids or gas that are incorporated into it during drilling and, when necessary, the addition of chemicals to adjust its properties. 4- MUD PUMP: It is used to pump the drilling fluid into the well. 5- Manifold: It is a set of valves used to direct fluids during operation. 6- Benge tube (Standpipe): Structural tube to strategically elevate one of the tips of the cane hose, and thus increase the range of the hose during the injection of fluid into the well. 7- Formation in the well being drilled #Follow me to see all new!?? #oilrig #gases #oilandgasindustry #drilling #rig #wellcontrol #animation #videos #event #formation #structural #wellbeing Download Free Books: https://lnkd.in/dgnyhW2Q Watch Learning Videos: https://bit.ly/3pKS5dd

The American Petroleum Institute gravity, or (API) gravity, is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water: if its API gravity is greater than 10, it is lighter and floats on water; if less than 10, it is heavier and sinks. API gravity is thus an inverse measure of a petroleum liquids density relative to that of water (also known as specific gravity). It is used to compare densities of petroleum liquids. For example, if one petroleum liquid is less dense than another, it has a greater API gravity. Although API gravity is mathematically a dimensionless quantity (see the formula below), it is referred to as being in 'degrees'. API gravity is graduated in degrees on a hydrometer instrument. API gravity values of most petroleum liquids fall between 10 and 70 degrees. Generally speaking, oil with an API gravity between 40 and 45° commands the highest prices. Above 45°, the molecular chains become shorter and less valuable to refineries. Crude oil ??? is classified as light, medium, or heavy according to its measured API gravity. ?Light crude oil has an API gravity higher than 31.1° (i.e., less 870 kg/m3) ?Medium oil has an API gravity between 22.3 and 31.1° (i.e., 870 to 920 kg/m3) ?Heavy crude oil has an API gravity below 22.3° (i.e., 920 to 1000 kg/m3) ?Extra heavy oil has an API gravity below 10.0° (i.e., greater than 1000 kg/m3) However, not all parties use the same grading. The United States Geological Survey uses slightly different ranges. Crude oil with API gravity less than 10° is referred to as extra heavy oil or bitumen. Bitumen derived from oil sands deposits in Alberta, Canada, has an API gravity of around 8°. It can be diluted with lighter hydrocarbons to produce diluted bitumen, which has an API gravity of less than 22.3°, or further "upgraded" to an API gravity of 31 to 33° video copyrights ?
