Drilling
The agreement focuses on improving operational efficiency and consistency through advanced digital tools and real-time data integration.
An innovative approach uses a random-forest-based framework to link logging-while-drilling and multifrequencey seismic data to enable dynamic updates to lithology parameter predictions, enhancing efficiency and robustness of geosteering applications.
Oil and gas companies drilled 75 “high-impact” wells in 2024, representing 5.2 billion BOE.

Recently, while preparing to present a seminar on deepwater-well-construction optimization, I tried hard to find a word or a phrase that could be seen as “the secret” for a safe and optimized drilling performance. -
Data-mining processes are fundamental in obtaining the predictive benefits of real-time systems and have been progressing from descriptive to predictive optimization methods.
-
During the optimization process, the Castilla field became the model of management strategies for the rest of the fields in the company portfolio.
-
Integration of technology applications is paramount in increasing the success rate of data delivery.

-
The general industry perception is that, when drillstrings or casing strings exceed conventional helical-buckling criteria, they cannot be operated safely in the hole because the risk of failure or lockup is too high.
-
The producing assets of unconventional shale-gas and shale-oil plays in North America are among the strategic alternatives for future growth of exploration-and-production companies.
-
ExxonMobil, operator for the Sakhalin-1 project, planned an additional drilling campaign at the Chayvo field, Sakhalin Island, Russia.
-
In 2012, the number of unconventional tight gas/shale and high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) papers continued to grow. This year, we had some very interesting developments in these and other areas of well construction.

This case history presents the highly challenging extended-reach deepwater well, Ursa A-10, drilled in the Ursa (Latin for bear) prospect in the US Gulf of Mexico (GOM).
