... Abstract The highly productive Permian Basin requires wells with high dogleg severity (DLS) curve and long lateral sections. After many years of development and participation by all major industry players, most 8.5in size wells are still being drilled using two bottomhole assemblies (BHAs); one...

..., and facilitation of expanded geothermal asset development. In support of required efforts, this paper presents structured processes that guide the interpretation and understanding of geothermal drilling applications and promote holistic development of geothermal specific solutions. The positive effects...

The equipment is designed to meet the intent and exceed the performance requirements of the latest industry and regulatory standards. During development of the electric bonnet, the design team has shown that electric actuation...

... Abstract Changing well control requirements have increased accumulator volumes for the operation of Blow Out Preventer (BOP) stacks and diverters, challenging the space available for the BOP control system equipment on today's rigs. Koomy or Land Closing Units (LCUs) use potential energy stored...

Particular emulsifier packages and weight material were utilized to improve long term sag stability, with static aging stretching up to 28 days. Specialized fluid loss reducers were...

... (densities <5.5 lbm/gal). These fluids can be used as a simpler alternative to foam or air drilling in applications requiring densities in the 4-6.5 lbm/gal range. As a starting point the field application requirements were developed which then were used to define a set of functional requirements...

... drilling time reduction. This design strategy requires an effective annulus isolation of the last riserless-run casing to allow the use of a high-density mud during drilling to prevent excessive salt creep and its consequences. That strategy also requires that the casing and its annulus cement withstand...

... with conventional methods, then a complex abandonment to permanently plug and seal the wellbore is required. In the Gulf of Mexico, federal regulations mandate that all wells must be permanently plugged along with all facilities removed when they are no longer useful for operations (30 CFR § 250.1703...
