VANCOUVER, Nov. 27, 2017 /CNW/ – Renaissance Oil Corp. (“Renaissance” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: ROE) is pleased to announce the Comisión Nacional de Hidrocarburos (the “CNH”) has approved drilling permits for the Chicontepec multi well drilling program on the Amatitlán block in Veracruz, Mexico.  In conjunction with its partner Lukoil, Renaissance will conduct the following operations:

During the week of December 4th, 2017, mobilize Simmons Edeco Rig 836 to a multi-well drilling location and spud the first well, Amatitlán 1649, of the 10 well drilling campaign which will occur over the course of several months;

Each well will be directionally drilled, targeting multiple Chicontepec intervals, to a total depth of 1,975 meters; and

The second well in the program, Amatitlán 1708, will be drilled subsequently from the same multi-well location.

“As the first Canadian operated oil well drilled in Mexico, in almost a century, the Amatitlán 1649 is a historical milestone”, stated Craig Steinke, Chief Executive Officer of Renaissance.  He added, “Rig 836, owned by Canadian based Simmons Edeco, will also be used to drill the planned 4,200 meter measured depth horizontal Upper Jurassic shale well.”

The importance of documentation and record keeping in the event of an oil well crisis

/

We have previously said that very few activities during oil well control occur as planned.

It is precisely that point where we derive the importance of always keeping updated records because from these documents can know how to respond to such an eventuality.

The records should be promptly during operation are:

  • Closing pressure: they are not considered as a complication in operations outbreak control, however, some complications may occur if the closing pressures are too high or too low.
  • Circulating Pressure: usually the problem is in the pump and the side of the tube string “U”
  • cursory Gas: It is preferable not close the well, however, when this happens he will empty and if appropriate measures are not taken a lack of control in deep water well can occur.
  • Pump Failures: The speed and cost of the pump are important. If the pump fails for any reason or is not operating properly during well control, it is necessary to change the pump in response to strict procedures.
  • Throttle: A sudden change in pressure can indicate choke a plug below the choke, requiring the pump stops.

 

To be always prepared before a disaster, aside from maintaining a strict control to maintain updated records, it is important to have insurance for oil Well Control, which it endorses and supports to unforeseen events.
