... Abstract Al Baraka Oilfield Services SAOC has supported Oman's leading oil and gas exploration and production company in the Sultanate, in servicing wells in the Oman Block 6 concession area using Conventional Workover Rigs since 2013. Workover includes primarily changing completions...

... drilling contractors are able to leverage these new advancements in machine controls. Capitalizing on the new technologies requires that drilling rigs are running current generation Alternating Current (AC) drawworks and are fitted with controls system architecture suitable for this generation of hardware...

... Abstract Drilling rigs of different designs and construction are available in the market with varying specifications and limitations. Multiple number of both single and multi-string completion assemblies have been successfully run globally in the oil and gas industry to meet production...

... Abstract The objective of this paper is to present a new and innovative fully automated tubular handling robot that can feed drill pipe and casing from pipe storage on ground to the well center of a land drilling rig in a fast, accurate and all-in-one operation. In recent years, experience has...

...). This fact shows that using AI integration into closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras alone is not enough to maximize such technologies in industrial setups and processes despite their huge development. An offshore drilling rig has an extremely harsh working environment, which involves people of a wide...

... set, associated with drilling rig specifications, constraints on drilling feasibility and number of well slots on new WHT. Based on the data and assumptions, multiple concepts were developed with respect to different drill centers including new WHTs, new artificial islands and existing WHTs/islands...

... company to deploy a full drilling automation system in the Middle East implemented to autonomously operate rig surface equipment. A detailed description of the system's intelligent management system will be provided to communicate its capacity to interpret and autonomously respond to changing well...

... discharge requirements. The project exceeded initial expectations by accommodating non-aqueous drilling waste from jack-up drilling rigs in addition to artificial islands own rigs. Subsurface assurance and engineering workflows proved to be effective in ensuring subsurface containment of drilling waste...

.... Once the system detects the influx, it performs a series of operations by taking control of the drilling rig equipment. The drill string is spaced out, top drive and mud pumps are stopped, and the BOP is closed. All of this occurs without the driller doing anything; however, he can intervene at any...

... also demonstrates the combination of Low-frequency and High-frequency data can reveal the many secrets of the drilling operations and can open the many sides of drilling operations for improvements. Low-Frequency data was entered manually at the rig-site using an improved coding system to identify...

... 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...

... of removing personnel from the rig floor KOC was interested in increasing the running rate of the casing through the efficiency of the CRT. In many cases the use of a CRT results in increased running rates. Most CRTs would be limited to a hoist capacity of 500 ton, which would not accommodate the hoisting...

...The rig power allocation The rig power allocation was computered based on the following load factors in Table 3 . Each factor was referenced on the basis of normal drilling, high pressure and large displacement drilling, and back reaming conditions. The power of the major generator set...

... Abstract Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA-OPCO) is increasing the rig activity and the well complexity in its development fields. The new feasibility design process involves, categorizing the analysis into three stages that includes difficulities during rig approach, recovering...

... and decision support. In order to utilize the LCDSS, the work processes were modified and fit-for-purpose communication lines were established. In preparation, an advanced training session was performed using a dynamic downhole training simulator linked to a topside rig simulator, for training...

... Abstract This paper describes the improvements in drilling operations in the West Qurna-2 field, as evidenced in a reduction of well days and non-productive time, as activity increased from two to six rigs over a fourteen month period. The West Qurna-2 field, one of the largest oil fields...

... in these regions. The CJ 43 drilling jack-up, based on its successful predecessors, is the modern replacement and sets a new standard for jack-up drilling rigs used in mature oil and gas fields. Drilling technology has evolved over the years. The focus has been on drilling equipment reliability, mechanization...
