Drilling
This paper aims to establish a set of best practices for generating particle-size-distribution data from core samples.
This paper discusses the successful execution of two openhole gravel-pack completions in two Gulf of Mexico fields with depleted reservoirs.
A shared digital mindset across subsurface, subsea, and drilling and wells is accelerating well planning at Vår Energi.

Colombia now counts Repsol, ExxonMobil, Shell, and Noble Energy as companies committed to exploration in its portion of the Caribbean Sea. -
Noble’s farm-in to blocks recently awarded to Shell marks the Houston-based independent’s entry into Colombia, where the government hopes to boost offshore exploration.
-
The laboratory will be used primarily to test the sulfide stress cracking resistance of carbon steel alloys for oil wells and offshore drilling applications.
-
This paper discusses the successful application of managed-pressure drilling (MPD) in the basin with reduction in risks and well costs.
-
This paper describes the drilling of high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) deepwater wells through an ultranarrow pore-pressure fracture gradient (PPFG) window by means of technology application and strict procedural control.
-
This paper discusses how managed-pressure-drilling (MPD) technology led to cost savings in two wells drilled in the Hai Thach gas field offshore southern Vietnam.
-
Noble’s first row of wells in its massive Mustang project is helping increase the operator’s DJ Basin output, and similar results are soon expected in the Delaware Basin.
-
The contract is helping to solidify Europe’s offshore sector as the focal point for the rise of automated drilling technology.
