lost circulation

This paper highlights nontraditional methods to cure oil-based-mud losses in horizontal wells drilled in unconventional plays.

This paper presents a lost-circulation model used during design and job-evaluation phases to accurately predict top of cement and equivalent circulating densities.

This paper describes the application of learnings from an offshore project in the Caspian to an underground gas storage project to enhance drilling performance.

This paper introduces a method using a Bayesian network to aggregate trends detected in time-series data with events identified by natural language processing to improve the accuracy and robustness of kick and lost-circulation detection.

Automated particle-size analyzers are something you will not see on most drilling rigs, but some think this outside-the-oil-field technology will play a big role in the future of the drilling sector.

Making hole has become a more difficult and complex operation as operators move into untapped horizons, especially deepwater and unconventional fields.
