Simulation of Modified Dual Gradient Drilling System to Drill Deepwater and Ultra-Deepwater Wells [PDF]

One of the main challenges in deepwater subsea drilling is the narrow operational mud weight window between pore pressure and fracture gradient; as water depth increases so does the complexity of maintaining this window.

Mechanical Evaluation of the Drill String in Deepwater CCUS Open-Loop Drilling

Applied Sciences
During deepwater carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) riserless (open-loop) drilling, the drill string is directly exposed to a complex marine environment, resulting in mechanical behavior and failure mechanisms that differ from those under ...

Activity of semisubmersible drilling rig in deepwater.

Journal of the Japanese Association for Petroleum Technology, 1995
An analysis of worldwide offshore drilling activities shows a clear trend towards deepwater. Advances in deepwater petroleum production are also continuing, with primary areas of activity currently in the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Brazil. As well, the Voring Plateau in offshore Norway and the West Shetlands show promise as the next deepwater ...
