Directional/complex wells
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 presents a study of trapped-torque incidents during drillpipe connection, highlighting contributing factors and root causes and proposing prevention and mitigation measures for these transient events.
In this study, a method was developed to analyze the effects of drilling through transitions on bit-cutting structures and construct an ideal drilling strategy using a detailed drilling model.

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."

Whether considering the customization of drilling approaches in Middle Eastern carbonate reservoirs, implementing a collaborative work flow in tackling high-tortuosity wells offshore Western Australia, or researching the ability of a fibrous material to effect hole cleaning as opposed to polymeric sweeps, the authors of these papers understand that technical expertise…
-
Effective use of downhole dynamics and mechanical specific energy data played a critical role in delivering a well that was the longest in the Middle East, and the fourth-longest globally, at the time of writing.
-
A specialized fibrous material was examined and was found to be effective for hole-cleaning applications.
