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.

As leaders in digital drilling analysis push into real-time data analysis and digital controls, they are finally confronting data-quality problems. Humans are better than machines at dealing with ambiguous readings. -
Sensor technology in the oil industry changes infrequently. Improvements in MEMS sensor technology are creating rapid momentum toward the use of tiny, rugged, and inexpensive sensors to replace larger, costlier, and more fragile legacy-technology sensors in directional drilling.

An early commitment to integrate MPD into an HP/HT drilling operation can make MPD more than just an enabling tool and turn it into a performance tool that offers significant operational benefits.

Telling executives that the cost per foot drilled is down is not going to convince them that drilling is getting more efficient. That requires translating drilling measures into the language of corporate budgeters.

Geothermal power offers enormous potential—an inexhaustible supply heat to drive huge electric plants around the clock—but that extreme heat can quickly kill conventional hardware, which led to something new.
