A Roadmap to Frontier Deepwater Drilling
Offshore Technology Conference, 2015Abstract Offshore deepwater drilling is a complex activity requiring the use of a variety of technologies to enable safe and reliable operations. Year after year, the industry has progressively been able to drill deeper; reaching depths in excess of 10,000 feet, using state-of-the art rigs designed to theoretically reach up to 12,000 ...

Cyberdefence of Offshore Deepwater Drilling Rigs
Offshore Technology Conference, 2021Abstract An alternative methodology using new preventative technology to manage cybersecurity exposure on deepwater drilling rig assets is presented. For the past two years Shell's Deepwater Wells business has been evaluating typical cyber defence approaches and undertaken cybersecurity risk assessments and penetration tests.

Problems of Ultra-Deepwater Drilling
SPE/IADC Drilling Conference, 1999Abstract Ultra-deepwater drilling activity is at an all time high. Recently, there were only two rigs rated to, and actually working in, water depths greater than 6,000 ft. Soon there will be over twenty. This increase will involve new deepwater operators and bring a large number of new people to deepwater.

The Evolution of Deepwater Drilling in Brazil
Proceedings of SPE Latin America Petroleum Engineering Conference, 1990ABSTRACT In the beginning of the last decade PETROBRÁS identified, in the Campos Basin, some promising prospects under deepwater. At that time, deepwater drilling was a new activity and there were few drilling units capable of operating in great water depths. The daily rates were expensive and no deepwater drilling program

Deepwater Drilling: Driven by Culture?
The Way Ahead, 2013Soft Skills - To what extent is deepwater drilling driven by culture? Deepwater drilling is a high-risk operation. It involves going below water depths of 500 ft to explore for oil and gas. If there are any issues with the subsurface equipment, divers cannot intervene because human beings are physically incapable of tolerating such ...

Five Years Experience Deepwater Drilling
SPE Annual Fall Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1977Abstract This paper presents the past, present and future of deepwater exploration drilling (600 to 8,000'). Specifically presented are the technical achievements that were necessary to move beyond 600' water depths and to provide the capability to drill in 8,000' of water.

Optimization of Deepwater Drilling With Real-Time Operations
Proceedings of SPE/IADC Middle East Drilling and Technology Conference, 2007Abstract The following-up of drilling operations in "real time" from a remote location has been on the wish list of some drillers for quite a long time. In recent years, this has become a reality with phenomenal advances in digital technologies, satellite communications, remotely controlled systems, and collaboration centers that allow ...

Drilling Riser Integrity Assurance for Deepwater Floating Drilling
Offshore Technology Conference, 2017Abstract Objectives/Scope Historically, deepwater drilling riser challenges were always seen to be related to riser weight and metocean stresses. Consideration of the riser as a pressure vessel has been limited to production riser applications or smaller high pressure risers used for floating surface ...
