Drillingautomation Stories

In the future, by demonstrating improved results over these baseline values, new technologies and drilling practices can better estimate the value provided to a drilling...

Friday night lights... tailgating Saturdays... and of course, armchair quarterbacking Sundays. It's the most wonderful time of the year! Now, imagine if your favorite fo...

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...

The dynamics is then calculated by applying a time-integration scheme. The dynamic model is applied to a real case of a quasi-vertical well with field measurements of do...

Numerical simulations as well as laboratory tests have been carried out in order to better understand the mechanisms of PDC bits deviation and to evaluate the most impor...

The drilling industry faces challenges when it comes to implementing physics-based decisions in real-time, resulting in missed opportunities to improve drilling performa...

They are then integrated in the torsional equation of motion of the stick-slip model. A case study is carried out to show the consistency between the simulated results a...

This study demonstrates that the procedure reduces the horizontal wellbore position uncertainty by 46% for the study area and more generally from 15 to 50 percent when c...

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 paper shows how correlating downhole data with Torque & Drag simulations highlighted areas of improvement and allowed to optimize the running and setting procedure o...

The Bit Guidance System uses task automation, forward modeling and automated decision making to guide the driller for more accurate positioning of the bit while drilling...

The newest addition to the industry standard FlexRig® fleet is uniquely enhanced for mobility and agility in Middle East terrain, without compromising unconventional pad...

After two years of testing the recovery control system internally, there were no undetected stalls, no false detections, and no unplanned trips due to motor stall, displ...

Staging drilling set points after tagging bottom is often inconsistent and can cause drilling dysfunction. H&P has transformed this common multi-step task into an automa...

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...

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

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...

Indeed, some simultaneous torque-drag-buckling calculations are presented and allow to properly take into account the additional contact force generated in a post-buckli...

This modeling led to an optimum drill string design associating the steerable mud motor assembly, aluminum drill pipe, axial oscillation tool and steel drill pipe. The n...
