Drilling
The service giant shares how its new technology can sense rock properties 50 ft ahead of the bit in horizontal wells.
This paper proposes a time-series analysis approach to build a reliable, easy-to-use tool to automatically detect stuck pipe accurately and early.
This study aims to thoroughly assess the influence of various completions, fracturing stimulation, and intrinsic reservoir properties affecting the productivity of 10 major unconventional plays while uncovering insights and trends unique to each play

SponsoredWith more surface facilities and infrastructure in oil and gas fields, well casing integrity is becoming an even bigger challenge. This article sheds light on the optimum way to deal with the increasing casing integrity challenges in the Middle East through field monitoring and time-lapse casing-integrity and corrosion-inspection logging. -
The well was spudded from the new Azeri Central East platform in the giant ACG field in the Caspian Sea.

This paper describes an 18-month intensive continuous improvement process between an operator, a rig contractor, and bottomhole-assembly (BHA) service providers aimed at reducing BHAs per well in two Oklahoma rigs.
-
This paper presents the study, resulting recommendations, and a proposed change in standard bottomhole-assembly configurations to reduce service-quality-compromising incidents and productive time lost from jar twistoffs.
-
This paper discusses a full-scale drilling test rig that allows comprehensive study of the influences of bit characteristics on high-frequency torsional oscillations (HFTO) for the first time.
-
Few oil and gas companies give data science projects the better part of a decade to prove out, but that’s just what this one did.
-
As bottomhole-assembly and drill-bit design and operation have embraced new technologies such as artificial intelligence, new materials and manufacturing techniques, and improved design software, the industry continues to research methods of optimizing delivery and understanding of already globally used technologies.
-
An estimated $35 billion in investment is expected to pour into geothermal projects in Kenya and Ethiopia through 2050.
-
At every stage, well-construction projects must be concerned about those aspects to establish measurable barriers for preventing issues. Therefore, drilling and completion fluids are critical for achieving project goals and ensuring operations are executed as planned.
-
This paper presents the concept of a supervisory and advisory system dedicated to support the detection of abnormal events and to provide guidelines for fluid treatment.
