But nearly half the world’s 7.4 billion people live with limited or no access to these advantages. Many of these people survive drinking filthy water. Many must cook food indoors over open, wood-fueled flames, the noxious fumes destroying their health and that of their families. The world’s most flexible fuels, oil and natural gas, could provide these poor people with a step change in living conditions. But in some cases, those who might help have their hands tied.LEARN MOREA drilling rig is a complex piece of machinery designed for a single purpose — to drill oil, gas or geothermal wells.Meet the rigs and people who drill wells in the most hostile environments.The modern drilling rig is a complex piece of machinery designed for a single purpose – to drill oil, gas or geothermal wells. From today’s drilling rigs, wells can be drilled to subterranean depths greater than twelve thousand meters. The pinpoint precision of modern drilling operations can also land a horizontal well more than eleven thousand meters long, within a target of only a few meters. Offshore drilling rigs can accomplish such feats in water depths of ten thousand feet or even deeper. These accomplishments have been compared to the space program.LEARN MOREOil and gas provide two-thirds of the energy consumed in the USA.What would a world without oil and gas look like? Dark, uncomfortable and polluted.Global oil and gas consumption is expected to grow significantly in the coming decades, particularly in the developing world. These hydrocarbons are abundant, affordable and provide enormous quantities of energy per unit volume or per acre. Oil and gas energizes lives and are vital to economic and population growth. Hydrocarbons fuel transportation, as well as heating and cooling homes, businesses, hospitals and more. Further, these versatile hydrocarbons are also irreplaceable as a feedstock to create plastics and other materials used to manufacture the tools and toys we use everyday.LEARN MOREGlobal Leadership ForThe Drilling IndustryDRILLING MATTERSWho Needs Us And WhyWhat We Do And HowWhat We ProvideAppreciationDrilling GlossaryGamesReferences & LinksALL MODULESCoal: Did You Know?Drilling It SafelyEnergizing Transportation with Oil and GasEnergy PovertyHow Hydrocarbons Drive Jobs and the EconomyHydraulic Fracturing RevealedHydrocarbons in the 21st Century: Green, Clean and SafeInteractive Rig TourLife on a Drilling RigLive an Adventure: Make Your Career in Oil and GasMeet the Bottomhole AssemblyMeet the Circulating SystemMeet the RigMeet the Rotating & Pipehandling SystemMore Than a FuelOil & Gas: Make the Smart Energy ChoiceRenewables: Did You Know?The Challenge and Rewards in DeepwaterValue of HydrocarbonsWho’s Who in the Drilling BusinessRESOURCESIADC.orgIADCLexicon.orgDrillingContractor.orgIADC Drilling ManualDrillers Knowledge BookWell Cementing Operations“Drilling Matters” is produced by the International Association of Drilling Contractors.
