Drilling
This case study from ARC Resources and DarkVision outlines the use of acoustic imaging tools in two active fracturing programs in Canada to monitor well casing deformation.
This case study from Tomax outlines the use of artificial intelligence to analyze high-fidelity data of the full drilling process.
Adequate consideration must be given to the potential effect of each fluid on the successive phase operations to ensure integrated well-fluids system management.

The Orca-1 and Marsouin-1 wells have derisked up to 50 Tcf of gas initially in place from the Cenomanian and Albian plays in the BirAllah area, more than sufficient to support a world-scale LNG project, partner Kosmos Energy said. -
The Sidri 36 appraisal well confirmed the downdip westward extension of the Sidri 23 discovery announced last July by the Italian major.

Measured-pressure approaches have offered much promise for some time but have been slow to reach widespread application. A spate of technical developments, deployments, trials, and applications, however, recently has pushed measured-pressure drilling and its nuanced variants to their full potential.
