Concentric Drilling Risers for Ultra Deepwater

IADC/SPE Drilling Conference, 1998
Abstract Use of a higher pressure rated riser run inside the marine drilling riser would provide floating rigs with some advantages enjoyed by fixed rigs; the potential to drill underbalanced or near balanced, improved gas handling capability, improved well testing capability, expanded kick control capabilities and ...

Challenges of Drilling Operations in Extreme Deepwater

OTC Brasil, 2017
Abstract This paper highlights the challenges to drilling risers and running equipment for offshore drilling operations from dynamically positioned mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) in extreme water depths. Whereas nearly all exploratory drilling has occurred in water depths shallower than 3,000-m, Total recently set the water depth

The Way Forward for Deepwater and Ultra Deepwater Drilling in Trinidad and Tobago

SPE Latin America and Caribbean Petroleum Engineering Conference, 2012
Abstract Future deepwater drilling in Trinidad and Tobago will definitely present enormous challenges. During the period 1999 to 2003, eight deepwater wells were drilled in deepwater acreage. None of these wells found hydrocarbon in economic quantities although abundant reserves have been found in the shelf area (< 1000 meters ...

DEEPWATER DRILLING AND PRODUCTION SYSTEMS OVERVIEW

The APEA Journal, 1979
The petroleum industry is now involved in a highly significant exploration program to define the hydrocarbon potential of deepwater sedimentary basins. Within the last year, the ability to drill in waters deeper than 1300m has been demonstrated, and exploration plans for water depths down to 1600m have been announced.

Drilling Contractor's Role In Deepwater Operations

SPE Deep Drilling and Production Symposium, 1979
Abstract The deepwater operations off the Continental Shelf areas around the world are expected to escalate in the next five to ten years to help meet the world's increased demand for fossil fuel. For the drilling contractor to meet this challenge, he must continue to develop the art of drilling in the world's ...

Hardbanding And Its Role in Deepwater Drilling

Proceedings of SPE/IADC Drilling Conference, 1999
Abstract Hardbanding of drill pipe tool joints and other drilling equipment has been around since the late 1930's. Originally, hardbanding was applied primarily to protect the drill pipe and other tools from premature abrasive wear. Since that time, there have numerous changes in hardbanding and its application, but only within the last ...
