Drillingwithtechnology Stories

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

This survey has been conducted annually since 2007 and reflects feedback from more than 4,000 respondents that use products and services of global oilfield suppliers. Th...

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...

Our Automation Sequencer systematically shifts between each of the functions of drilling a stand-minimizing the human inefficiencies. Moreover, it reduces flat times bet...

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...

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

AutoSlide technology was used for 88.5% of the lateral section. Significant increases were seen in both lateral onbottom rotating rate of penetration (ROP) and lateral s...

Improve excess engine hour precision • Maintain all 2023 rigs under 30% and increase targeted efforts for rigs operating above 50% excess engine hours. • Reduce fleet ve...

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...

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

AUTOMATICALLY UPLOAD AND EXECUTE ON THE DRILLING ROADMAP The workflow around drilling roadmaps that exists today is a manual process that lacks real-time communication a...

Advanced modeling and simulations optimize drilling operations and increase well integrity by providing in-depth analysis for well planning, well integrity, BHA and bit...

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...

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...
