Drilling
The companies' combined technologies enable real-time control of well placement, hydraulics, and rig operations.
Improved bit and bottomhole-assembly technologies and designs have helped turn what used to be record-breaking drilling runs into routine expectations.
The project with ExxonMobil used closed-loop drilling and digital well-construction technologies.

A well was drilled into a prospective unconventional mudstone play offshore Norway. Two of five coring runs were successful while the rest yielded little to no core recovery. Subsequent investigation of the core substantiated that the coring issues largely had natural causes. -
An intelligent drilling optimization application performs as an adaptive autodriller. In the Marcellus Shale, ROP improved 61% and 39% and drilling performance, measured as hours on bottom, improved 25%.

Logging-while-drilling remote operations has hit a wall. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, there is an increased demand for personnel with multidisciplinary skill sets to work on offshore rigs. But the demand cannot be satiated.

Apache, Qatar, and Shell clinch best discovery, best new venturer, and energy transition leader.
-
While drilling in deepwater Gulf of Mexico, a topdrive failure forced the shutdown of all drilling operations for the rig operator and lasted for 114 hours.
-
The complete paper discusses the use of cumulative production ratio curves normalized to a given reference volume in time for different unconventional plays in North America to investigate the median trend for each play and the median ultimate recovery per play.
-
In tectonically influenced regions, potential hydrocarbon traps are subject to complex states of stress. This scenario often translates into severe strike/slip (SS) and thrust-fault or reverse-fault (TF/RF) stress states.
-
With contracts canceled and pressures mounting, offshore oil drillers struggle to stay afloat.
-
To address key root causes, proactive initiatives such as audits, inspections, visibility tours, hazard reporting, and contractor management engagement workshops were initiated to focus on enhancing work planning, effective supervision, and risk assessment.
-
The oilfield services company's Tubular Running Service was recognized for reducing costs, maximizing safety.
