Directional Drilling Automation Using a Laboratory-Scale Drilling Rig: SPE University Competition

SPE Drilling & Completion, 2020
Summary The use of drilling automation is accelerating, mostly in the area of rate of penetration (ROP) enhancement. Autonomous directional drilling is now a high focus area for automating drilling operations. The potential impact is immense because 93% of the active rigs in the US are drilling directional or horizontal wells.

Horizontal Directional Drill Rig Operating Training System Based on Virtual Reality Technology

ICPTT 2009, 2009
With the development of the city and the following need of civil construction, many underground lines in the city are required to be constructed, reconstructed or revived. Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) technology has been developing rapidly and applied in many fields all over the world.

Applications of Maxi Rig Horizontal Directional Drilling for Municipal Sewer/Water Markets

ICPTT 2013, 2013
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) has long been used for water/sewer line installations on projects where crossing of a river or highway was required and there existed few alternative options for construction of these lines. These installations are typically performed by specialized HDD subcontractors utilizing maxi HDD rigs. In recent years, there

Rigid-flexible coupled multi-body dynamics analysis of horizontal directional drilling rig system

Journal of Computational Methods in Sciences and Engineering, 2020
To reduce the failure probability of gas drainage drilling holes in coal mines, a new modeling method of gas drainage drilling machine is presented. Firstly, each drill pipe is regarded as a flexible body, and the Lagrange’s equation of second kind is used to model it.

Autonomous Directional Drilling Revolutionizing Efficiency and Precision on Lumpsum Turnkey Rigs Through AI and Automation

Middle East Oil, Gas and Geosciences Show (MEOS GEO)
Abstract Directional drilling plays a crucial role in wellbore trajectory control but traditionally requires continuous human intervention. On Lump Sum Turnkey (LSTK) rigs, where efficiency and precision are essential for meeting strict cost and schedule constraints, the adoption of digital technologies becomes imperative.

Dual Approach in Autonomous Directional Drilling: Innovations with Drillbotics 1.5 Inch Automated RSS and Virtual Rig Platforms

SPE/IADC International Drilling Conference and Exhibition
Abstract SPE’s Drilling Systems Automation Technical Section (DSATS) sponsors the Drillbotics® autonomous drilling contest to promote advanced learning at participating universities. Two groups worked separately to drill a directional well hands-free and to connect to a well model to detect/close in a kick.

Automated Directional Drilling Software and Remote Operations Centers Drive Rig Fleet Well Delivery Improvement

IADC/SPE Drilling Conference and Exhibition, 2018
Abstract Early in 2017, initial discussions began to define an Automated Remote Drilling project that would use a centralized command center and specialized distributed software systems to automate the directional drilling decision-making workflow and the implementation of these decisions at the rigsite.

Performance Step Change in Kuwait: Drilling Deep-Directional 16-in. HoleBuild Section Saves Operator 13 Days Rig Time

IADC/SPE Asia Pacific Drilling Technology Conference and Exhibition, 2006
Abstract In 2005, Kuwait Oil Company Exploration Group (KOC) began drilling KM-05, a deep directional exploration well in their West Kra Al maru (KM) field. The well was projected to TD at 16,285 feet MD. In order to intersect the reservoir fractures at the appropriate angle to enhance production potential, the well profile required ...

Combining Accuracy and Efficiency in Directional Drilling: Leveraging Continuous Surveys to Reduce Rig Time and Optimize Well Path Precision

Kuwait Oil & Gas Show
Abstract Conventional wellbore position monitoring relies on survey measurements that require the drill string to remain stationary during acquisition. This introduces rig non-productive time (NPT) and may not fully characterize the actual well path with high precision. A new generation of measurement-while-drilling (MWD) technologies
