SBOP Drilling Enables Efficient Drilling in Extreme Water Depths
Offshore Technology Conference, 2009Abstract Since 1995, drilling with a surface BOP (SBOP) from a MODU has been executed successfully by operators in various offshore locations around the world. With the increasing interest in ultra-deepwater exploration, and the tight floating rig market, the SBOP high pressure riser when deployed from an upgraded ...

The Efficient Control of Twist Drills
Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1946ONE of the noticeable effects of the extensive application of drill jigs is a steady decline in the number of fully qualified hands. Too many operators are jig specialists and quite unable to handle anything else. This is hardly a matter for surprise. After all, the main function of a jig bushing is to control the movements of the drill, and to anyone ...

Selecting Optimum Drilling Parameters by Incorporating Vibration and Drilling Efficiency Models
IADC/SPE Drilling Conference and Exhibition, 2016Abstract To avoid severe vibrations, different drillstem (or drillstring) vibration models have been used to predict and avoid resonance regions by selecting bottom hole assembly (BHA) components and operating parameters such as weight on bit (WOB) and RPM. The overall efficiency of the drilling operations can be evaluated using either a

Optimal wave with respect to efficiency in percussive drilling with integral drill steel
International Journal of Impact Engineering, 2010Abstract The problem considered is that of finding the optimum wave of given finite duration that maximizes the efficiency of conversion of wave energy into work in percussive drilling with integral drill steel (drill rod with integrated bit). A 1D model is used for the drill rod, and the bit-rock interaction is represented by a piecewise linear ...

Efficient drilling in horizontal directional drilling by implementing the concept of specific energy
Geomechanics and Geoengineering, 2016ABSTRACTThe oil and gas industry has successfully used the concept of specific energy (SE) to maximise drill rate and identify inefficient conditions in drilling operations. This paper proposes the idea of implementing the concept of SE in horizontal directional drilling (HDD), a pipeline installation technique which was adopted from horizontal oil ...

New Drill Pipe Size Improved Drilling Efficiency in Shale Plays
SPE Latin America and Caribbean Petroleum Engineering Conference, 2017Abstract Drilling horizontal wells typically requires a tremendous engineering effort due to operational challenges with wellbore hydraulics, borehole cleaning, drill string buckling, poor weight-on-bit transfer, and reduced drill pipe service life.
