... depositional setting, which permits standardized well designs and drilling processes for the majority of the field. Standarizing the drilling process strips out execution variability, leaving behind a fully repeatable process across a rig fleet. Unique inefficiencies are removed, and identified improvements...

... Propelled by the need, several different data transfer standards have been developed over the years. They are the General ASCII format used for temperature logs and profile surveys, the Log Information Standard (LIS) by Schlumberger, the LOG ASCII Standard (LAS) by Canadian Well Logging Society...

... (NPT) and associated costs. When Statoil took over the operatorship in the Eagle Ford an integrated approach to engineering and operations was key to optimize performance and bolster understanding of the area. Application of technology and standardization of operations resulted in continuous...

... then ranked based on the potential time and cost savings. With the prioritized opportunities, an improvement road map was developed to steer the team in the right direction. The improvement road map contained a four-pronged approach to cut project development times in half: Standardization...

... Construction methods for mobile offshore drilling units (MODU’s) have evolved rapidly over the past decade, driving a transition from one distinct model to another. Before turnkey construction projects became today’s standard for delivering newbuild rigs, the drilling contractor was originally...

... and rarely deployed in the same geographical areas to take advantage of the standardization. A total of 6 (six) Megathyst class rigs were originally planned specifically for deepwater operations in Brazil for Petrobras and development drilling operations. Because of market conditions at the time, only 4...
