The results of this study demonstrate that a more accurate reinterpreting of cuttings samples can increase the predictive capability of the ML model (which was able to estimate expected lithotypes with greater reliability). It is worth noting that the continuous...

Through a thorough case study investigating a dropped ESP seal, an integrated approach to safety and quality risk analysis led to the implementation of Poka-Yoke for continuous improvement to minimize risks and improve process reliability. The implementation of a Standard Operating...

... considered. It enables matching the best bit with the best motor under the best possible BHA. The full workflow was evaluated with the drilling of a typical section in the Permian with significant improvement in both the ROP and reliability. In summary, this paper describes a collective simulation capability...

... deepwater FLNG in general. High level these benefits can be found in: Design optimizations - Stationary structures can be designed lighter and equipment can be optimized for local environment. Schedule optimizations - Dry transport increases schedule reliability and reduces time to market. Risk...
