Drilling
Operators aren’t rushing to drill, even as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz drives oil prices up.
This paper presents the first global application of autonomous drilling in deepwater and the journey to reach optimal drilling parameters, integrating proprietary tools from the project’s business partners.
This paper describes the evolution of the operator’s initial PWC (perforate, wash, and cement) abandonment projects performed in deepwater Brazil.

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. -

As the resources that the industry develops become increasingly challenging, access to a broader range of options and new and developing approaches allows more-efficient and -effective recovery.

A new holistic approach to optimizing wellbore economics is bridging the gap between planning and execution and bringing well construction into the digital era to improve data use, enhance collaboration, boost efficiency, and increase safety.

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.

Drilling customers would like to be able to buy the hardware they need from the vendor of their choice and plug it into an automated system, but the companies creating the control systems say they can not afford to do that.

Drilling and completion expenditure and activity is projected to show multiyear double-digit growth from 2018–2022 despite a flattening of rig count increases.

Coreflooding is one of the principal tools through which we qualify drilling and completion fluids and assess the potential for formation damage, but is it relevant? By “relevant,” I mean does it give an accurate portrayal of the likely performance of the selected fluids.
