Drilling
Developing the theory of mechanical specific energy from the perspective of instantaneous drilling power rather than the compressive strength of the formation leads to an improved understanding of drill-bit mechanical efficiency.
The oilfield service company will supply power plants capable of electrifying 180,000 US homes with geothermal energy.
This paper presents an efficient mathematical optimization method for well placement that maximizes contact with the productive zones for the best locations in the reservoir.
