drilling data

The US-based drilling contractor is buying the drilling technology company just three weeks after announcing a merger with NexTier Oilfield Solutions.

Whether buying or selling, quality, non-production data can help operators achieve improved margins and less downtime, unlocking the true potential of their wells.

The authors of this paper present a system, developed to achieve data transmission using a time-division approach, that includes sealed chambers for microchip storage, a power-release device, and a circuit.

Industry leaders are harnessing the power of data to improve efficiencies, eliminate nonproductive time, and reduce Capex.

Drillers are working to find ways to break some bad data habits. Those problems can range from the use of multiple formulas to calculate mechanical specific energy to timekeeping systems where the clocks and the time records are often off.

The drilling of wells in shale and granite shares a common need—faster drilling is required to make it work.

Capitalizing on technology that originated with NASA delivers savings on directional drilling operations.

This paper presents a methodology that aims to allows the anticipation of problems such as mechanically stuck pipe or lockup situations when running casing or completion strings in hole.

Schlumberger and Russia’s Gazprom Neft have agreed to jointly develop software and promote other upstream services to be commercialized across Russia and internationally.

The paper demonstrates the application of an interpretable machine-learning work flow using surface drilling data to identify fracable, brittle, and productive rock intervals along horizontal laterals in the Marcellus shale.
