This paper describes an 18-month intensive continuous improvement process between an operator, a rig contractor, and bottomhole-assembly (BHA) service providers aimed at reducing BHAs per well in two Oklahoma rigs.

This paper presents the study, resulting recommendations, and a proposed change in standard bottomhole-assembly configurations to reduce service-quality-compromising incidents and productive time lost from jar twistoffs.

This paper discusses a full-scale drilling test rig that allows comprehensive study of the influences of bit characteristics on high-frequency torsional oscillations (HFTO) for the first time.

This paper outlines issues to be resolved during facility design and provides guidelines, calculations, and examples for sand-handling steps to be implemented after separation.

It seems that it has been a very productive period for production and facilities. I reviewed a significant number of abstracts on such an interesting variety of topics—new technology developments down- and midstream, improvements in corrosion detection and prediction, new systems for emulsion monitoring, and even downhole drones.

SPE technical papers synopsized in each monthly issue of JPT are available for download for SPE members for 2 months. These November and December papers are available now.

This year’s Reserves Management papers are chosen to revisit some basics around both reserves delineation and asset management.

As bottomhole-assembly and drill-bit design and operation have embraced new technologies such as artificial intelligence, new materials and manufacturing techniques, and improved design software, the industry continues to research methods of optimizing delivery and understanding of already globally used technologies.

Few oil and gas companies give data science projects the better part of a decade to prove out, but that’s just what this one did.

In this episode and transcript, Terry Palisch is joined by Simeon Eburi, an SPE Regional Director of North America, to discuss connecting members to technology and each other, and the importance of local sections. This transcript is an excerpt from the podcast episode.
