... Abstract Using virtualization and other pioneering technologies to develop a hybrid platform of servers, storage, and networking that can support a variety of rig based systems such as Real-Time Data Collection & Aggregation, Data Analytics, Collaboration, and other core IT services (email...

... by electrical measurements on the rig, which are then correlated with the manufactures data to obtained the torque in desired units. The torque obtained is then used to analyze the difference between the applied torque on the surface and the resultant torque at the bit. This forms the basis of ROP models. Bit...

... Abstract Even with lower rig rates due to the lower oil prices, the daily cost of running a drilling rig is still high. When an offshore rig is drilling, this can extend well over 100.000 USD an hour with all personnel and services onboard. Monitoring and improving rig and drilling key...

..., multi-tasking of personnel, and fit-for-project rigs. The concept has been successfully piloted in Mexico, on the above-mentioned field, and deployed in twelve land rigs simultane-ously during 2009 and 2010. This paper describes what was done, how it was done and summarizes key results. Since...

... Abstract Starting in 2004, a major service company began investigations into moving tasks normally performed on the rig to an office environment (an operations support center 1 ). These "remote operations" have evolved into a spectrum: from splitting the day and night shifts between the rig...

... Abstract The technically challenging development of the marginal resources in the mature fields in the North Sea requires new levels of planning and execution to control the drilling process. Over the past few years, improved dataflow between drilling rigs and shore-based operator and service...

... hundred wells per year. The time to drill and complete a typical well stood at thirty-five days through 2007, and a target was set to reduce this to fifteen days. Achieving this target would result in a savings of approximately 2190 combined rig days a year thus saving the operator over $100mm...

... Abstract In the industry today IT has become "business critical" in wellsite and field operations, moving beyond the traditional back office role. As a result, there are significant implications for the IT organization, where rig site and producing-asset interaction, both in terms of people...

... Abstract In this paper we will discuss the results of a prototype software application to view the rig schedule generated by a reservoir simulator. Visualization of simulation rig schedules and comparing with planned rig schedule would help in identifying opportunities to improve operations...

... Abstract In 2000 BP identified an opportunity to collaborate with a major Norwegian operator and develop an initiative for updating the drilling data standards for contractor to operator rig-site data flows to speed and enhance decision-making. This led to the successful WITSML initiative...
