Directional/complex wells
Improved bit and bottomhole-assembly technologies and designs have helped turn what used to be record-breaking drilling runs into routine expectations.
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.
This study evaluates the feasibility of drilling a closed-loop, unconventional geothermal system in the Pannonian Basin basement of Romania.

Capitalizing on technology that originated with NASA delivers savings on directional drilling operations. -
This paper presents a screenout-classification system based on Gaussian hidden Markov models that predicts screenouts and provides early warning.
-
The paper highlights two case studies to illustrate successful development of marginal prospects to unlock remaining potential.
-
This paper describes a study aiming to provide input for the well-completion-strategy design and operational parameters for a carbonate reservoir experiencing electrical-submersible-pump failures.
-
This paper details new technologies and work flows implemented for Australian offshore wells to improve drilling efficiency while managing associated risks.
-
The paper demonstrates the application of an interpretable machine-learning work flow using surface drilling data to identify fracable, brittle, and productive rock intervals along horizontal laterals in the Marcellus shale.

SponsoredExtended reach wells provide access to otherwise inaccessible areas, improve production and reduce footprint. Advancements in completion technology allow producers to eliminate coiled tubing, perforation guns and milling out operations to lower project risks, costs, and environmental impact.
-
Extended-reach drilling is becoming more of a mainstream technology as the industry seeks to squeeze difficult reserves and reduce the footprint of projects in fragile environments.

When Hess, Halliburton, and Nabors sat down to create a single plan to stream on the driller’s display, they needed to work out a lot of differences, including the definition of the word "activity."
