drilling optimization

This paper establishes that the use of a dual-gradient fluid column during the running of large casing in an extreme-reach deepwater well is an effective method to overcome drag and enable the casing to reach total depth.

In this paper a case study is described in which a software solution enabled prescriptive optimization of well delivery using a physics-informed machine-learning approach for predictive identification and characterization of well-construction risks.

This paper describes the integration of iterative torque/drag/buckling and hydraulic simulations for multiple tapered string combinations, the results of which guided the selection of a string configuration that deemed planned well total depths feasible.

Drilling experts recently shared candid views on what will be required for their segment of the upstream business to move to the next stage of development.

The companies' combined technologies enable real-time control of well placement, hydraulics, and rig operations.

Improved bit and bottomhole-assembly technologies and designs have helped turn what used to be record-breaking drilling runs into routine expectations.

The project with ExxonMobil used closed-loop drilling and digital well-construction technologies.

This paper provides an account of the design, implementation, and operational insights from an enhanced geothermal system proppant stimulation targeting a volcanic, dry rock setting with an approximately 330°C bottomhole temperature.

This study evaluates the feasibility of drilling a closed-loop, unconventional geothermal system in the Pannonian Basin basement of Romania.

This paper describes modeling work performed to design fracturing treatment and spacing for wells in the Project Cape enhanced geothermal system in Utah.
