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...

With directional drilling in today's market, well placement is of ever-increasing importance in the process of successfully drilling a well. Well placement by Measuremen...

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...

As spring approaches in the United States, many of us drilling in Oklahoma and Texas welcome the nicer temperatures but must also remain weather-aware with an expectatio...

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

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...

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

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...

SKILLED ENGINEERS ENHANCE THE WELL DELIVERY PROCESS, WHILE MEETING SAFETY AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS Helmerich & Payne's Advanced Well Engineering team offers a compreh...

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...

When we talk about Actively C.A.R.E.™ (controlling and removing exposures), that can often be interpreted as only focusing on exposures that can harm people on the job...

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...

Imagine a loved one is going to work in an industry that has been know historically to be dangerous, like mining, forestry, law enforcement, or commercial fishing. What...

A sensitivity analysis was then conducted on several BHA types and lengths, considering different boundary conditions in vertical and horizontal wells. Directional model...

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...

We know that energy exposures provide a significant amount of threat to a worker on a drilling rig. We also know it is important to have strong processes in place to hel...

Analysis of low frequency axial drilling dynamics from block velocity input to surface weight on bit (SWOB) or differential pressure outputs, shows significant regional...

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...
