Unconventional/complex reservoirs
The $100-billion project is widely considered the largest unconventional development outside of the US and is noted by Aramco as the largest nonassociated gas development in the kingdom.
This paper presents a study of trapped-torque incidents during drillpipe connection, highlighting contributing factors and root causes and proposing prevention and mitigation measures for these transient events.
In this study, a method was developed to analyze the effects of drilling through transitions on bit-cutting structures and construct an ideal drilling strategy using a detailed drilling model.
