Drilling
Transocean has delayed the delivery of the first two drillships capable of drilling and completing wells requiting 20,000-psi pressure control and told investors they are arriving at a time when the demand for ultrahigh performance is coming back.
The latest success for the ExxonMobil-led consortium is also adding drillships to support a 15-well campaign in the Stabroek Block.
“What is the drilling state” has become an important question among data scientists and automation experts. The simplest definition of a complicated concept is that it is what the driller is doing at the time.

Can a camera on the drill floor, or one on a mobile phone, measure what is going on during drilling or evaluate drill-bit wear more consistently than a human? -
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.

Offline cementing was used to develop a marginal field in Malaysia. The development was made possible through distinctive wellhead technology and good operational planning.
-
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.

Fluid identification, a critical process in fluid sampling, continues to be a challenge in temperatures above 350°F. At temperatures up to 450°F, fluid identification is currently achieved by bubblepoint and compressibility measurements, which cannot quantitatively measure contamination levels of the sample fluid. A possible solution involves using pyroelectric detect…
