We became familiar with the pr imary objectives\, functions\, structural composition\, and operational pr inciples of well drilling.\n\nThe exploration and evaluation of oil and ga s fields are among MOL’s key activities. The determination of potential target areas is based on the analysis of data obtained through various exa minations and measurements. This data may come from previously drilled wel ls\, the reprocessing of old seismic data\, or the acquisition of new seis mic data.\n\nTo understand and implement well integration\, it is necessar y to be familiar with some basic definitions. For example\, deep drilling is a process (operation)\, whereas the well itself is the final product. D uring deep drilling\, the process is referred to as "drilling" until compl etion\, and once the facility is fully constructed and put into operation\ , it is called a "well." Well integrity is determined by the reliability o f well barriers\, which are designed to prevent the uncontrolled release o f fluids from oil and gas wells.\n\nThe "Plug & Abandonment" (P&A) procedu re pertains to the closure and securing of wells. The relevant regulations vary by jurisdiction\, making it challenging for operators with internati onal assets to comply with all requirements. Operators must adhere to thes e regulations to ensure safe and environmentally responsible operation. Th ese regulations typically cover various areas\, such as casing and cementi ng requirements\, pressure testing procedures\, as well as monitoring and reporting obligations.\n\nLike most large-scale industrial activities\, we ll drilling does not come without risks. Activities that result in a net l oss are referred to as "dry drilling" Originally\, this term was used in h ydrocarbon and geothermal fluid exploration to describe wells where no sig nificant oil or water reserves were found. However\, modern technologies n ow offer new possibilities for the utilization of these wells\, such as us ing them for monitoring or as part of closed-loop geothermal systems.\n\n[ ]\n\nSpeaker(s): Adrienn Szekszárdi\n\nRoom: BF13\, Bldg: Q Building\, Ma gyar tudósok körútja 2.\, Budapest\, Budapest Fovaros\, Hungary\, 1117 LOCATION:Room: BF13\, Bldg: Q Building\, Magyar tudósok körútja 2.\, Bud apest\, Budapest Fovaros\, Hungary\, 1117 ORGANIZER:zsofia.bango@ieee.org SEQUENCE:32 SUMMARY:Geothermal applications of hydrocarbon wells URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/481190 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p dir="ltr">The second lecture of the MTA 20 0 memorial semester of the IEEE BME SBC was delivered by Adrienn Szeksz&aa cute\;rdi\, a representative of MOL.
