Drilling
This paper highlights a new online system for monitoring drilling fluids, enabling intelligent control of drilling-fluid performance.
A proposed integrated workflow aims to guide prediction and mitigating solutions to reduce casing-deformation risks and improve stimulation efficiency.
This paper aims to close some of the many knowledge gaps that exist in the field of drilling CO2 storage wells, a task that is expected to involve handling an influx of CO2 into the drilling fluid.

An automated detection application helped identify stringers early for an operator of a mature field in the North Sea while drilling multilateral wells through reservoir sections containing hard calcite stringers interspersed in sand formations with low unconfined compressive strength. The application guided drilling decisions that minimized invisible lost time and sh…
