Drilling
The project with ExxonMobil used closed-loop drilling and digital well-construction technologies.
ExxonMobil's Jason Gahr uses the five stages of grief to explain how the upstream industry should respond to the rise of AI.
A multidimensional Wiener process approach predicts casing remaining useful life, enabling safe, cost-effective well life extension and repurposing for carbon dioxide injection, CCS, and geothermal applications.

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 describes a systematic full-scale test program to study and optimize solids-control efficiency with hollow-glass-beads drilling fluids.
-
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.
