Viable interpretations are simultaneously visualized in real time as paths on a novel stratigraphic misfit heat map, where they may be corroborated against valleys of mi...

This paper describes some of the challenges to understanding and ultimately automating drilling processes using models. Examples of models used to solve industry problem...

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...

This paper will be presented by E.S. Kolstad at the 2007 SPE/IADC Drilling Conference held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 20-22 February 2007. Read and download the tech...

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

Directional surveys acquired by Measurement While Drilling (MWD) are subject to many errors that are not easily recognized by traditional Quality Control (QC) procedures...

A "trip" is the process of pulling drillpipe from the wellbore or running the pipe back to the bottom of the wellbore. The manual work performed during a trip...

These analyses can constitute guidelines about stabilizer design to minimize vibrations. The novelty of this work is to introduce the geometry details of the stabilizers...

The oil and gas industry is witnessing a significant transformation with the advent of drilling rig automation. Traditional drilling operations are being upgraded with a...

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...

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...
