Drilling
This paper presents a study that confirms glass-reinforced-epoxy-lined tubing as a reliable, cost-effective solution for long-term water-injection service in moderate-salinity offshore environments.
This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.
This paper presents findings reinforcing the argument that acid fracturing is a strong alternative stimulation method to improve productivity in the Austin Chalk formation.

Totally automated drilling today looks like a robot doing all the heavy lifting on a drilling floor. By 2025, there may no longer be anything surprising about it. -
Well construction must always be executed safely at reduced operational costs, while ensuring appropriate wellbore quality and placement, per asset team requirements. Consequently, analysis of drilling efficiency, a critical performance indicator, has moved from maximizing rate of penetration to improving cycle time.
-
A supervised machine-learning algorithm is developed to classify drilling parameters that increase rate of penetration and bit endurance for use in unconventional fields in Australia.
-
The failure of the Raptor rig to drill its first-ever well offers a short history of the challenges that came with creating the first automated drilling rig.
-
Drilling automation is not “there” yet, but it no longer seems like a pipe dream.
-
This paper describes how severe rig limitations were overcome through an optimization plan in which an optimal bottomhole assembly was designed and drilling practices were customized.
-
This paper presents a methodology that aims to allows the anticipation of problems such as mechanically stuck pipe or lockup situations when running casing or completion strings in hole.
-
Schlumberger and Russia’s Gazprom Neft have agreed to jointly develop software and promote other upstream services to be commercialized across Russia and internationally.
-
The fresh investment will result in the manufacture of new drilling-related equipment to assist the national oil company in boosting production capacity.
