This paper will show the benefits of using a stiff string model, taking into account a 3D oriented casing contact, while performing casing wear calculations and which co...

64% reduction in the average torque standard deviation, indicating a smaller severity of torque swings Intermediate Section BHA Count 66% reduction in total intermediate...

ADIPEC is one of the largest and most prestigious events in the oil and gas industry and is a great opportunity to connect with a vast number of our customers and peers...

Continuous real-time updating of the bit position is one of the many critical analysis steps that can be automated, driving steering decisions. The practice of accuratel...

The automated interpretations showed nearly 100% agreement with human geosteerers in terms of estimated formation strata drilled through. There were a small number of se...

H&P's FlexDrill is a technology-based tool that automates the detection of and response to a host of downhole conditions. With FlexDrill technology, wells are able to ma...

One of the largest and longest operating onshore drilling and technology companies in the world, known for our signature. FlexRig® fleet, unmatched efficiency gains, and...

Team spirit-based approach where all actors of the execution embarked on board. Thanks to this new transversal approach and unique collaboration among all the competitiv...

In addition, these results show the significance of string friction along the drill pipe. Next, the use of a downhole instrumented sub, along with wire drillpipe technol...

Already, the methodology has solved challenging directional performances issues, generating significant savings and optimizing the learning curve process. The model is a...

Correctly evaluating the risk of BHA, casing and/or completion strings getting stuck or locked-up when RIH can ultimately provide a template for ultimate reduction of no...

For the baseline scenario, low probabilities of collision imply that extensive use of ranging is required for a successful operation. Positional uncertainty reduction te...

The fast computation of the frequency analysis can provide efficient and accurate predictions and, therefore, could be employed to optimize the BHA design and drilling p...

Overall, H&P helped the operator outperform all offsets in both the intermediate and lateral portions of the well. To know more in detail, visit us at: https://www.helme...

The DrillScan software analysis uncovered high friction factors caused by high wellbore tortuosity. Knowing this ahead of time allowed H&P to recommend that the operator...

The condensed box-on-box substructure of the Flex3 reduces the number of rig move loads, allowing for an efficient rig down and rig up. No cranes are needed to move the...

As the intermediate section was being drilled, the key formation tops were detected as coming in much shallower than the geological prognosis had predicted. As a result...

The configurable and consistent bit engagement enabled through H&P's FlexDrill software helped ensure optimal contact with the formation, resulting in a 61% average rate...

Early-on, drilling consistency was established and time savings were quickly identified across the wells, with a 22% (0.6-day) average on-bottom rotating drilling time i...

PROACTIVE STICK SLIP MITIGATION Fluctuations in rotary speed and damaging lateral vibrations can result in stick slip, whirl, and overall downhole tool failure. H&P's Fl...
