How is oil and gas extracted from the seabed?
How is oil and gas extracted from the seabed?
Crude oil and natural gas occur in ‘pockets’ under the ground. Sometimes the deposits are found under the sea bed. Like other deposits, they are extracted by drilling a hole down through the rocks into the oil or gas. The oil or gas is usually pumped ashore through pipelines.
How does oil come out of the ground?
Light and medium oil can flow naturally to the earth’s surface and is generally extracted from the ground using vertical drilling and pumping – this includes Canada’s offshore oil. Some light oil is trapped in “tight” (non-porous) rock formations, usually shale.
How do we get oil and gas out of the ground?
A well is drilled so that the crude oil and other liquids travel up the bore hole. When it comes to the surface the crude oil has to be moved closer to where it is needed. Finding oil and gas trapped deep underground and drilling a well are very complicated and expensive.
How are oil and gas extracted from under the sea bed?
Like other deposits, they are extracted by drilling a hole down through the rocks into the oil or gas. For undersea deposits, the drills are mounted on a platform called a drilling rig.

How does oil and gas get trapped in rocks?
Oil and gas can get trapped in pockets underground such as where the rocks are folded into an umbrella shape. Oil and gas can move through the porous rocks (rocks with gaps between the grains). The oil and gas move upwards from the source rock where they were formed.

How do you ground a metallic fuel tank?
To prevent such a spark from occurring, metallic components of the fuel tank fill system and metallic fuel tanks must be grounded. Grounding or bonding may be accomplished by connecting the metallic components electrically by running a wire from one component to the next, and so forth to the boat’s ground.
Do you need to ground a fuel tank fill pipe?
Grounding can usually be accomplished by a connection to the common bonding conductor or the engine negative terminal. If the fuel tank deck fill fitting is nonmetallic, and nonconductive hose is used as a fill pipe, there is no need for grounding the fill fitting. Chrome-plated plastic fill fittings are treated the same as metallic fittings.
