drilling optimization

This paper investigates the use of machine-learning techniques to forecast drilling-fluid gel strength.

Over the past 75 years, drillers have gone from the Stone Age to the Space Age when it comes to technological improvements in well construction methods. Yesterday’s crude wood and iron drilling techniques have given way to today’s video game-inspired controls and robotic assistance—much of which migrated from offshore applications. These advancements have driven costs…

The company has agreed using its innovations in automation in an effort to derisk ultradeep offshore drilling for the Brazilian national oil company.

The RoboWell technology for well control will be available globally through Halliburton’s Landmark iEnergy hybrid cloud.

The chief operating officer of Chesapeake Energy tells the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference that small wins can pave the path to big achievements.

This paper describes the engineering design and operational execution practices that supported setting of a new extended-reach world record in a mature carbonate field offshore Abu Dhabi.

This paper describes an autonomous drilling approach using an autocurve-drilling mode to automatically drill curved sections without human intervention and complete autonomous well construction.

This paper presents an approach for automatic daily-drilling-report classification that incorporates new techniques of artificial intelligence.
