Bearings for Drilling Mud pump FAQS

QHow does a frac pump work?

AA frac pump is a high-pressure, high-volume pump used in hydraulic fracturing treatments. Hydraulic fracturing is a well stimulation technique where fracking liquid (a mixture of mostly water and sand) is injected into rock formations at high-pressures, allowing for the extraction of natural oil and gas.

QWhat is drilling oil and gas?

ADrilling is a process whereby a hole is bored using a drill bit to create a well for oil and natural gas production. ... Appraisal wells are those drilled to assess the characteristics of a proven petroleum reserve such as flow rate.

QWhat is the difference between onshore and offshore drilling?

AIn short, onshore drilling refers to drilling deep holes under the earth's surface whereas offshore drilling relates to drilling underneath the seabed. These drilling methods are used in order to extract natural resources – usually oil and gas – from the earth.

QHow do bearings work?

ABearings reduce friction by providing smooth metal balls or rollers, and a smooth inner and outer metal surface for the balls to roll against. These balls or rollers "bear" the load, allowing the device to spin smoothly.
