Vishnumolakala, Narendra (2015-12-16)Drilling automation initially gained acceptance in the Oil & Gas industry as a solution to increase rigsite safety. While safety-related drilling automation has been implemented, many companies are beginning to recognize ...
-
Timpa, Samuel D (2014-07-29)Transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides have revolutionized the synthesis of organic molecules. These reactions, which are commonly catalyzed by group 10 metals, have found applications including ...
-
Underwood, Austin Miles (2016-07-15)Low-cost engineering design and operational practices are presented that prevent significant enlargement in shallow, unconsolidated sands while drilling. The methodology includes a combination of fluid design, geomechanical ...
-
Kaneshima, Takuma (2019-06-10)Shale swelling causes 90% of wellbore instabilities and oil-base muds (OBM) have been the best choice for many years. However, the stringent environmental concern have resulted in a keen interest in the development of ...
-
Pereira, Fidel Fernandes (2016-08-02)The deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling industry has created several techniques to overcome the Well-Control challenge in these scenarios. Dual Gradient Drilling is one of those techniques. Created in the mid-90’s the ...
-
Khaled, Mohamed Shafik Abd ElAlim (2021-07-05)Poor cuttings transport in deviated wells is considered a main factor limiting drill rate; inducing excessive torque and drag; or in severe cases, resulting in stuck pipes. This study presents a computational fluid dynamics ...
-
Geresti, Cameron Lee (2019-11-21)The effect of auto-driller behavior has started to more attention in literature (Pastusek et al. 2016). Dysfunction can occur when the bit transitions to a harder formation and if the control gain of the auto-driller’s ...
-
Park, Siman (2019-04-05)The Eagle Ford Shale is one of the largest unconventional oil plays where a large number of horizontal wells with hydraulic fractures have been developed in recent years. Due to its very low permeability, operators complete ...
-
Lindanger, Catharina (2014-05-03)The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) uses a variety of technology for use in its deep water scientific research, including the Joint Oceanographic Institutions for Deep Earth Sampling (JOIDES) Resolution (JR) drill ...
-
Cunningham, Tyrell (2018-08-06)Drilling the highly interbedded Brushy Canyon in the Delaware Basin can force operators to use over three PDC bits to drill a 12.25” intermediate hole. A study was conducted in order to develop understanding of the mechanics ...
-
Zarate Losoya, Enrique (2016-12-08)Drilling Automation has become an important research effort in the Oil and Gas Industry since the fall of Oil prices in 2008. The cyclical nature of our industry and the fierce competition is pushing operators and drilling ...
-
Mansouri, Hamza (2017-07-27)The models used currently in industry have shown a considerable discrepancy between theoretical data and actual data observed in the field. The birth of torque and drag (T&D) modeling was in 1984 in Exxon Production Research ...
-
Kim, Jungyong (2017-07-21)Over the last decade, there have been major changes in casing design requirements in the oil and gas industry. The changes were necessary to withstand the loads and stresses from the unconventional reservoir. However, there ...
