The hybrid AMV offers distinct advantages for geomagnetic data collection in offshore environments. The low cost compared to a seaborne or airborne vehicle allows AMVs t...

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...

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...

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...

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

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

Once the tasks of laying down casing and drill pipe were completed, the derrick was then lowered and replaced. The crew was cleared to resume drilling ahead. "Yeah...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

Since Helmerich & Payne's adoption of Actively C.A.R.E.™, our serious injury or fatality (SIF)-based safety program, dropped objects have stayed at the top of SIF exposu...

The use of time-domain modeling to jointly characterize the behavior of downhole axial and surface oscillation tools introduced in this work allows a better understandin...

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...

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...

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...

The Bit Guidance System uses task automation, forward modeling and automated decision making to guide the driller for more accurate positioning of the bit while drilling...

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...

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...
