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

With the high rates of penetration achieved by today's drilling contractors, directional drillers have little time to make optimal steering decisions in a continually ch...

The drilling and completion of oil and gas wells is a collaborative business, involving employees from many contractors working together. Well construction generates man...

During well planning, specifying the separation that must be maintained from offset wellbores is critical to ensuring safe operations. Recent efforts on API RP 78, an up...

The drilling industry has undergone significant changes in recent years, leading to increased efficiency, lower costs, and reduced emissions per production unit. As unco...

What goes up... must come down Dropped objects don't just include large objects like tubulars. As rig crews complete routine mast maintenance and tools are not recorded...

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...

Namely, the effect of the drillstring-wellbore contact distribution is showed to have a substantial impact on the SOT performance. Consequently, it was proved that optim...

By using the continuous surveys taken by an MWD tool, to account for the actual tortuosity of the well, the potential fatigue becomes even more significant. Read out the...

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...

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...

Performance contracts are increasingly common in the drilling industry, especially in recent years. This incentivized contract structure, established as a partnership be...

Challenge A major operator in the Midland Basin had been using the H&P Bit Guidance System with AutoSlide® Technology as their solution to successfully build and scale t...

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...

Drilling practices alone are not enough to accurately deliver a high quality wellbore, as success is equally dependent on the accuracy of the wellbore survey. H&P's Surv...
