What is RKB in drilling?

1. n. [Drilling] The vertical distance from a point in the well (usually the current or final depth) to a point at the surface, usually the elevation of the rotary kelly bushing (RKB). This is one of two primary depth measurements used by the drillers, the other being measured depth.

What does KB mean in oil and gas?

Kelly Bushing (KB) is the height of the Derek (drill rig) measured from the MSL.

What is kelly bushing elevation?

Kelly Bushing Height (KB): The height of the drilling floor above the ground level. Many wellbore depth measurements are taken from the Kelly Bushing. The Kelly bushing elevation is calculated by adding the ground level to the Kelly bushing height.

What is MD in oil and gas?

In the oil industry measured depth (commonly referred to as MD, or just the depth), is the length of the borehole. In conventional vertical wells, this coincides with the true vertical depth, but in directional or horizontal wells, especially those using extended reach drilling, the two can deviate greatly.

What is the difference between MD and TVD?

Measured Depth (MD) is the length of the wellbore measured along its length. True Vertical Depth (TVD), is the absolute vertical distance between a datum, such as the rotary table, and a point in the wellbore.

What is KB in crude oil?

Other Measurements Barrels per day (B/D) is the base measurement when referring to how much oil is produced. The oil industry also uses other measurements, such as million barrels per day (MMB/D). Similarly, the oil industry measures a thousand barrels per day (KBPD).

What is KB stand for?

Kilobyte
Kilobyte (kB), 1,000 bytes.

What is TVD sub sea?

Subsea TVD means the depth of a formation as measured from sea level to the bottom of the borehole (or anywhere along its length) in a straight line that is perpendicular to the earth’s surface.

What is MD and TVD?

What is MD drilling?

Is Do or MD better?

In the United States, doctors are either an MD (allopathic doctor) or DO (osteopathic doctor). For patients, there’s virtually no difference between treatment by a DO vs MD. In other words, you should be equally comfortable if your doctor is an M.D. or a D.O.
