drilling optimization

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.

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.

The capability of modern wellbore surveying to increase asset value through improved subsurface modeling and completion-equipment placement is being overlooked by managers of operating companies.

This paper presents a study of trapped-torque incidents during drillpipe connection, highlighting contributing factors and root causes and proposing prevention and mitigation measures for these transient events.

In this study, a method was developed to analyze the effects of drilling through transitions on bit-cutting structures and construct an ideal drilling strategy using a detailed drilling model.

This paper describes a machine-learning approach to accurately flag abnormal pressure losses and identify their root causes.

The Texas-based geothermal company said it set a new temperature record and achieved strong drilling performance in its first enhanced geothermal pilot.

This research aims to develop a fluid-advisory system that provides recommendations for optimal amounts of chemical additives needed to maintain desired fluid properties in various drilling-fluid systems.

Bad vibes are being addressed by contractors as operators push to go faster, deeper, and longer with unconventional wells.
