Drilling
This comprehensive review of stuck pipe prediction methods focuses on data frequency, approach to variable selection, types of predictive models, interpretability, and performance assessment with the aim of providing improved guidelines for prediction that can be extended to other drilling abnormalities, such as lost circulation and drilling dysfunctions.
Ginger is among the 10 upstream projects that BP plans to bring on-stream by 2027 after resetting its strategy to raise oil and gas investments to $10 billion per year.
SLB will use artificial intelligence-based software to help ensure the delivery of 18 ultradeepwater wells.
