Drilling Optimization Using Drilling Data and Available Technology

Proceedings of SPE Latin America/Caribbean Petroleum Engineering Conference, 1994
ABSTRACT This paper demonstrates how information obtained while drilling an oil or gas well, is utilized to optimize drilling costs for upcoming wells in the same field by creating a Geological Drilling Log (GDL). The GDL is created by using drilling models specific to the bits used for individual intervals to generate a formation ...

Drilling Path Optimization by Optimal Foraging Algorithm

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, 2018
Drilling path optimization (DPO) is a crucial issue in current manufacturing systems. In this paper, an optimization algorithm named the optimal foraging algorithm (OFA) is presented based on optimal foraging theory to solve the sequencing problem when many holes must be drilled.

Drilling Optimization Platform for Well Cost Optimization

SPE Trinidad and Tobago Section Energy Resources Conference, 2016
Abstract As operators strive to become more efficient on cost and performance during well construction, their approach to tracking invisible lost time (ILT) and non-productive time (NPT) has been revamped. A state-of-the-art software platform has been introduced into the market to monitor and optimise drilling performance in real-time ...

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
