Heartland Energy Development Colorado

September 29th, 2009

By innovating technologies for the last 15 years, Heartland Energy Development Corp. has led the oil and gas production development industry in many ways.It is no surprise that the company has achieved the success that it has with their very unique style of management and long term approach to resource development. With their investments in the most advanced technology and personnel, Heartland Energy Colorado has grown from a small startup to a national powerhouse.

Probably one of the most intriguing aspects of the corporate culture at Heartland Energy Development is their dedication to the environment. With the technology developed by Heartland Energy Colorado, they have the ability to take on almost any kind of development or extraction job without affecting the sanctity of natural resources. With a self-regulated fiduciary responsibility to the environment, Heartland Energy Colorado can only remain assured that they will meet their goal by constantly investing in the latest technology, educational materials and scientific and geological surveys.

The general census about domestic oil development in the continental United States is that resources are much less than overseas. For those that have followed this debate over domestic energy resources, it my come as a surprise that there are significant amounts of natural gas and oil left to develop.Companies like Heartland Energy Development Corp work to extract these resources so that our country doesn’t have to depend on imports from the Middle East and Russia and Venezuela to meet our energy needs. The Heartland Energy Development teams, proprietary technology, and sound management practices have allowed us to remain competitive, notwithstanding the downturn in the global energy markets.

Special Operation Drilling:Heartland Energy Coloradoх.

September 8th, 2009

Article submitted by: Heartland Energy Colorado

What is special operations? For the purposes of this post we will be discussing directional drilling, fishing and well control. Intentionally drilling the hole “off-vertical” to avoid obstacles or other various reasons is directional drilling. Removing an object in the well bore that does not belong there is fishing. Should formation fluids enter the well, then crew members would apply well control techniques to regain control of the well.

Horizontal Drilling and Direction
Often the drilling crews of Heartland Energy Colorado try to drill the hole as straight as possible. Sometimes, however, the operator wants the hole to be drilled at a slant. One area where an operator of Heartland Energy Colorado uses slant or directional drilling is offshore. From a permanent platform that the operator installs over the drilling site, the crew must drill several wells to exploit the reservoir properly. To do so, crew members of Heartland Energy Colorado drill several directional wells. The crew may drill only the first well vertically; it drills the other wellls directionally.

To drill a typical directional well, the crew members drill the first part of the hole vertically. Then they kick off, or deflect, the hole so that the bottom may end up hundreds of feet or metres away from its starting point on the surface. By using directional drilling, the crew can drill forty or more wells into the reservoir from a single platform.
Heartland Energy Colorado also uses directional drilling through horizontal drilling. An operator can better produce certain reservoirs with horizontal drilling. The drilling crew drills the well vertically to a pointabove the reservoir. The it deflects the well and increases the angle until it reaches 90 degrees, or horizontal. This horizontal hole penetrates the reservoir. When properly applied, one horizontal borehole can produce a reservoir better than several vertically drilled holes.

It is important that when Heartland Energy Colorado uses both horizontal and directional drilling that the crew can bend the frill stem to a high degree without breaking it because the crew gradually deflects the hole from vertical. Usually, crew members deflect the hole over hundreds of feet so that the bend is not sudden. Three to ten degrees of deflection of 100 feet is usually the amount desired. The crew of Heartland Energy Colorado can bend the metal tube because it is hallow and it won’t break without a lot of stress. In cases in which the hole needs to cruve within a short distance, they use a special segmented pipe. Segmented pipe is very flexible and can bend a great deal without breaking.

Trip Out With A Kelly System

September 8th, 2009

Post Submitted by: John Schiffner
To remove the drill stem from the drilling hole, or to “Trip Out”, on a rig with a kelly system, crew members et the slips around the drill stem, break out the kelly and set it, the kelly drive bushing and the swivel back in the rathole. Still, attached to the very bottom of the hook are the elevators. The rig operator or driller of Heartland Energy Colorado would then lower the traveling block and elevators to the point where crew members can latch the elevators to the pipe. The driller would then raise the traveling block which raises the elevators and pipe, the floorhands then remove the slips.

Meanwhile, the derrickman, using a safety harness and climbing device, has climbed up the mast or derrick to the monkeyboard. The monkeyboard is a small working platform on which the derrickman handles the top of the pipe. The derrickman pulls the top of the pipe back into the fingerboard as the driller raises the pipe to the derrickman’s level.

The fingerboard, as the name implies, has several metal projections that stick out to form slots into which the derrickman places the top of the pipe. When the floorhands move the pipe off to one side of the rig floor and set it down, the derrickman unlatches the elevators and prepares to receive the next stand of pipe. Next, the floorhands of Heartland Energy Colorado usually pull two ro three joins at a time. So, although they pipe into the hole one joint at a time when drilling, they pull it out two or three joints at a time.

Two or three joints together constitue what is termed a “Stand.” Crew members of Heartland Energy Colorado then pull pipe out of the hole in stands to save time. If three joints comprise a stand and that is the usual case, then the stand is sometimes called a triple or “thribble.” If two joints make up stand, it is called a “double.” In a few cases, crew members may pull four-join stands; in such a case, they pull quadruples or fourbles. The height of the mast or derrick determines whether the crew pulls doubles, thribbles, or fourbles. Usually the surface hole is relatively shallow and it does not take crew members of Heartland Energy Colorado very long to get a drill stem and bit out of the hole.
