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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

As our industry continues to innovate and automate, eliminating once manual tasks, there will also be a reduction in inconsistencies due to human variability. Reliable i...

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...

Achieve Unmatched Accuracy MagVAR™ Omni technology elevates standard surveying practices by delivering more precise wellbore trajectory and shape. By integrating our sur...

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...

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

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...

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...

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

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...

This work is novel because it combines a ground based, near-well, magnetic measurement with an airborne derived IFR-1 model. This allows for a greater reduction in posit...
