Directional/complex wells
This paper presents an efficient mathematical optimization method for well placement that maximizes contact with the productive zones for the best locations in the reservoir.
Bad vibes are being addressed by contractors as operators push to go faster, deeper, and longer with unconventional wells.
The service giant shares how its new technology can sense rock properties 50 ft ahead of the bit in horizontal wells.
-
Extended-reach drilling (ERD) and complex wells have emerged as pivotal techniques, enabling access to previously unreachable reserves. ERD allows operators to access oil and gas reservoirs far from the drilling site, minimizing the environmental footprint and optimizing resource recovery. -
This paper discusses the development of a multientry, multistage fracturing system and its advantages over traditional openhole multistage fracturing solutions.
-
This paper proposes a methodology for preventing drillstring fatigue and failure in deep wells with large shallow doglegs.
-
In this paper, the authors propose a regression machine-learning model to predict stick/slip severity index using sequences of surface measurements.
-
This paper analyzes the interaction of high-frequency torsional oscillations (HFTO) with lateral vibrations based on a model that accounts for the superimposed movement of whirl and HFTO at the bit.
-
This paper describes a collaborative project to analyze affected wells, identify commonalities, and optimize bit design and drilling parameters to mitigate the effects of borehole spiraling.
-
In this paper, bottomhole-assembly lateral behavior is analyzed using different types of computations, including static, dynamic, frequency-based, and time-based.
-
The agreement formalizes JV ownership of Turnwell Industries which ADNOC Drilling created to manage a $1.7 billion unconventional drilling contract awarded in May.
-
This paper describes installation of autonomous inflow control valves in the Bretaña Norte field in Peru, enabling effective water control even though the trial well was placed in the flank, close to the oil/water contact.
-
This paper describes the qualification of a multilayer, open-cell matrix polymer system for the first horizontal deployment in an offshore gas well.
