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...

This paper should provide help to engineers who seek to improve the accuracy of casing wear prediction and hence improve casing wear management. It presents a new way of...

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

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 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...

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...

Correctly evaluating the risk of BHA, casing and/or completion strings getting stuck or locked-up when RIH can ultimately provide a template for ultimate reduction of no...

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...

Viterbi is an established algorithm with many applications, but the splitting of stratigraphic mappings into a Bayesian state space and application of Viterbi is novel a...

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...

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...

Today, Drillers and Drilling Engineers are faced with significant challenges in effectively managing drilling parameters and mitigating risks associated with drilling dy...

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...

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...

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

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

The automated interpretations showed nearly 100% agreement with human geosteerers in terms of estimated formation strata drilled through. There were a small number of se...

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...

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...

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...
