... was required. Staircase of Change Due to the strong focus on precision solutions and risk avoidance, the oil and gas industry tends to be very conservative when integrating new technology. This is especially true for a drilling automation system where the driller is expected to entrust an external agent...

... Abstract The driller, or well execution engineer, as some call it, is now responsible for a bigger part of the overall drilling process as automation and mechanization on rigs increases and the market moves toward performance-based, as opposed to day-rate, contracts. More information must now...

...) and an operator on the rig floor to control the CRT's operation. Mechanical tools are more compact, do not require HPU's and place complete control of the tool and the casing running in the hands of the onsite driller. For this reason, a mechanical tool was selected for this string. This paper will cover...

... the well's vertical section, creating tortuosity and drag. To maintain true verticality and a straight borehole, drillers have only limited solutions. Control drilling provides slow and limited performance, while bent housing mud motors effectively correct the deviation, but result in increased tortuosity...

... geological strata where the borehole has enlarged and no longer provides stabilization. Whenever the driller (or an automated control system) makes changes to the surface drilling parameters this also changes the downhole vibration characteristics. Each blade of the bit can additionally induce torsional...

... Abstract An advanced rig control system that was provided to a major international land drilling contractor streamlines the ergonomic tasks that are routinely performed by a driller. The system employs joystick controls from a specially designed console with touch-screen displays that eliminate...
