DSDE: In Practice

This paper presents an automated directional-drilling process executed on a commercial well in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea, where a next-generation intelligent rotary steerable system completed a well section in a single run.

This paper describes a collaboration between the operator and a service company that resulted in a successful deployment of an automation platform to manage risks and optimize drilling operations in exploration wells.

This paper presents agile technologies that integrate data management, data-quality assessment, and predictive machine learning to maximize asset value using underused legacy core data.

The authors of this paper use a pattern-review technique in a complex brownfield as a tool to understand reservoir connectivity and dynamic fluid movements across the field.

This paper highlights a tailored chemical treatment strategy developed for solids mitigation for a Delaware Basin operator.

The complete paper builds on existing tools in the literature to quantify the effect of changing well spacing on well productivity for a given completion design, using a new, simple, intuitive empirical equation.

The authors of this paper describe a project that integrates carbonate stratigraphic forward models of outcropping formations and reservoir-modeling work flows.

With so much volatility in the sector, acutely felt by many western consumers, how are intelligent work flows enabling the shift toward alternatives?

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a major disruption to industry training programs and university geoscience courses as travel restrictions and lockdowns created the need for digital alternatives. Although virtual field trips had been gaining traction before the pandemic, the sudden need to replace physical field activities has driven a rising interest to allow geologists …

This paper presents a work flow that has been applied to crossdipole sonic data acquired in a vertical pilot well drilled in the Permian Basin.
