Drilling
The paper describes a multientry multistage fracturing technology developed to enable longer laterals, increase stage counts, improve stimulation efficiencies, and derisk operations.
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.

In this paper, bottomhole-assembly lateral behavior is analyzed using different types of computations, including static, dynamic, frequency-based, and time-based. -
Digitalization and automation of the drilling process drive the need for an interoperability platform in a drilling operation, where a shared definition and method of calculation of the drilling process state is a fundamental element of an infrastructure to enable interoperability at the rigsite.
