Digital oilfield
This paper presents a multifaceted approach leveraging precise rig control, physics models, and machine-learning techniques to deliver consistently high performance in a scalable manner for sliding.
This paper proposes a novel approach toward drilling maximum-reservoir-contact wells by integrating automated drilling and geosteering software to control the downhole bottomhole assembly, thereby minimizing the need for human intervention.
This paper offers an exploration into the field applications of multiphase flowmeters (MPFMs) across global contexts and the lessons learned from implementation in a smart oil field that uses several types of MPFM.
