Drilling
The service giant shares how its new technology can sense rock properties 50 ft ahead of the bit in horizontal wells.
This paper describes the development of a method of predicting drillstring-friction coefficient during tripping operations that can be used for early warning of stuck pipe.
This paper proposes a time-series analysis approach to build a reliable, easy-to-use tool to automatically detect stuck pipe accurately and early.

There is no single reason that they all exist—and bringing them all on line will face challenges. -
The benchmark comes as operator Eni solidifies concession agreements and ramps up exploration and development in the North African country.

A Colorado ballot initiative that would sharply increase the required distance between new oil wells and populated areas will go before voters in November, Colorado officials said.

A real-time drilling-data analysis and recommendation system that leverages surface drilling data was deployed in a lateral section of a well from an artificial island in Abu Dhabi.

This paper proposes a metric for quantifying drilling efficiency and drilling optimization that is computed by use of a Bayesian network.

Signs of maturity in drilling systems automation are evident in the success stories filtering out of technical conferences and in the attraction of top university talent to an annual, international, drilling-systems-automation contest.

This work presents a systematic geosteering work flow that automatically integrates a priori information and real-time measurements to update geomodels with uncertainties and uses the latest model predictions in a decision-support system (DSS).

Having blockchain on an oil rig means everyone on the job shares a view of a project from start to finish. This could facilitate innovations that cut costs, but organizational change is required.

A marked change from a decade ago, Appalachia, the Permian, and the Haynesville now represent almost half of total US gas production, EIA reports.

A new report shows a 16% increase fueled by longer lateral lengths and horizontal drilling activity out of the Permian Basin. Continued gains in these areas should bode well for the future, but other factors may play into the market’s performance.
