Slide Drilling Guidance System for Directional Drilling Path Optimization

SPE/IADC International Drilling Conference and Exhibition, 2019
Abstract The amount of uncertainty related to directional drilling makes it challenging to accurately model and predict the results of drilling actions, leaving much to human know-how and interpretation. Additionally, few path planning methods in the literature consider the directional steering tool being used which results in a loss of ...

Optimizing Motor Drilling System

Proceedings of IADC/SPE Drilling Conference, 1983
Abstract A systems approach to downhole motor drilling is a key concept in optimizing motor performance in extended interval drilling applications. Understanding the interplay of system variables, including bits, motor, stabilization and hydraulics, is the springboard to planning and implementing a motor drilling system for optimum ...

Hydraulic Optimization of Foam Drilling For Maximum Drilling Rate

Proceedings of SPE/IADC Underbalanced Technology Conference and Exhibition, 2004
ABSTRACT The theory of hydraulic optimization of drilling with conventional (incompressible) drilling fluids is well known and has been widely practiced in the industry. Classical theory of hydraulics optimization for maximum drilling rate calls for either the use of empirical correlations or the use of optimization theory

Drill Pipe Connection Inspection Optimization

SPE/IADC International Drilling Conference and Exhibition
Abstract The latest generation of drill pipe connections was designed to bring a low cost of ownership, which was confirmed by monitoring the inspection data of hundreds of thousands of connections over the last few years. It established that the 4th generation of double-shouldered connection offers a lower percentage of connection recut,

Optimizing Hydraulics For Drilling Operations

SPE Nigeria Annual International Conference and Exhibition, 2015
Abstract Hydraulic modelling is an integral part of drilling operations, thus its importance for the efficient delivery of a wellbore cannot be over emphasized. The standard API methods for drilling fluid hydraulics assume either Power law or Bingham Plastic, these models provide a simple way of estimating required parameters for ...
