Opportunities for natural gas continue to evolve over time. In the recent past, drilling rig instrumentation and the Internet of Things (IoT) have evolved to play major roles in the industry with regard to preventing mismanagement.

For employees working at an oil rig, an ordinary workday isn’t free from safety hazards. With the likelihood of fatal and severe injuries higher due to an accident, these rigs often have rigorous safety procedures to maintain their employees’ safety.

Oil drilling is commonly known to be one of the most dangerous occupations around. Although safety measures have significantly improved over the past few decades, oil drilling remains quite dangerous. Over the years, there have been many high-profile disasters in the news, highlighting the dangers crew workers face.  

Oil is one of the essential resources that human civilization requires to survive in its current form. Oil discovery has led to massive wealth and prosperity for many nations and uplifted technology and transportation throughout the world. While fracking and oil exploration is a controversial topic, it’s indisputable that oil and oil exploration have left …

Offshore oil platforms are some of the largest human-made structures in the world. Reaching down to around 30,000 feet, many of these rigs would put the world’s tallest buildings to shame. Furthermore, since many people live and work on these giant platform’s months on and end, oil platforms have garnered the nickname floating cities. We’ll …

Over the past few oil extraction has become markedly safer. Studies now show that oil extraction is now safer than many occupations like agriculture and nursing.

A mud pump or drilling pump is a vital piece of equipment for drilling operations that is used to circulate drilling fluid downhole. Often referred to as the heart of the rig, this piece of machinery circulates drilling mud pressures of up to 7500 PSI through the drill string.

Despite their incredible strength and ability to displace water, water pumps often run into problems when solids, such as trash and debris, are added to the mix.

Overmolding is an injection molding process where a single part is created using two or more different materials. Generally, the first material, referred to as the substrate, is covered by other materials, also known as overmold elements, during the manufacturing process.

The field instrument segment holds the largest share in the global process automation and instrumentation market. This is largely because drilling rig instruments play a vital role in implementing process control by monitoring elements such as pressure, temperature, flow, torque, and level.
