Drilling
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.
This study aims to thoroughly assess the influence of various completions, fracturing stimulation, and intrinsic reservoir properties affecting the productivity of 10 major unconventional plays while uncovering insights and trends unique to each play
