Introduction to Drilling Technologies

What is/are Drilling Technologies?

Drilling Technologies - This paper presents a case study where a holistic approach; combining geomechanics and drilling technologies were employed to address the drilling challenges specific to unconventional and naturally fractured reservoirs. ^[1] Over the last few decades, increasing demand for gas and oil industries has compelled new design and enhanced drilling technologies that squeeze more from available energy sources and enable new energy resources. ^[2] With the development of directional drilling technologies, the percentage of recoverable oil production has increased. ^[3] In recent years, we have seen some refined drilling technologies crop up all over the world. ^[4] Although drilling of petroleum wells is the most known application of drilling technologies, drilling wells goes back in time to the origin of human civilization. ^[5] The analysis of wellbore stability in gas wells is vital for effective drilling operations, especially in Brown fields and for modern drilling technologies. ^[6] The advancement in drilling technologies within the last two decades has allowed deep vertical drilling and long horizontal and multilateral wells. ^[7] For this reason, during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, Sinopec took safety, environmental protection and efficient drilling as its overall goals and focused on solving the problem of "cold" adaptability of drilling equipments and tools, drilling technologies and measures, wellbore working fluids. ^[8] In this way, several drilling technologies and concepts such as managed pressure drilling (MPD) and mechanical specific energy (MSE) have found their applications in this category. ^[9] Designing future space drilling missions requires adapting drilling technologies, not only to the conditions of the space environment, but also to the economic and technological realities of the space industry. ^[10] Summary NDP «Chepakovskoe» uses advanced logging while drilling technologies for studying the fracturing of Paleogene reservoirs of Chepakovskoye oil field (Stavrovol region). ^[11] If properly evaluated, all advances in directional drilling technologies are relevant for both vertical and horizontal well drilling. ^[12] A key feature of the model is the fact that the field will be drilled with horizontal wells using logging while drilling technologies. ^[13] Significant advancements in salt drilling technologies and methods have been made in areas such as: best drilling practices, salt formation geomechanics, salt formation geochemistry, drilling fluids, well cementing, directional drilling, drill string and drill bit design. ^[14] Summary The novelty of the implemented solutions lies in the improvement of drilling technologies based on the application of modeling algorithms and finding the optimal network configuration to perform a reliable forecast based on the artificial neural network model. ^[15] Technical advances in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling technologies enable shale to be commercially exploited. ^[16] After optimization of drilling technologies, how to deploy artificial lift technologies to develop them more efficiently is another concern. ^[17] The offshore drilling industry is advancing technologies to extend deep water drilling technologies and attain feasibility of operations at deeper depths and higher pressures. ^[18] Horizontal drilling was introduced in 1989, and an extensive drilling campaign has been implemented since then using steerable drilling technologies. ^[19] Better availability of realistic and scalable test environments for automated drilling systems is expected to speed up the qualification of new drilling technologies. ^[20] Then, with the lithology of the formation encountered during the drilling of Well Fan Yeping 1, the difficulties in drilling technologies were analyzed. ^[21] Existing research in the advanced gun drilling technologies tends to focus on the choice of drilling parameters. ^[22] In order to overcome the risks, related to geological uncertainties, and achieve the wells’ objectives, almost all available logging-while-drilling technologies, related to geosteering, have been utilized. ^[23] is undergoing a rapid energy transition, driven in large part an explosion in oil and gas production driven by unconventional drilling technologies. ^[24] This paper first reviews the current CBM drilling technologies and gas production behaviors in China. ^[25] In recent years, with the rapid development of complex drilling technologies such as high deviation wells, directional wells and horizontal wells, higher requirements have been put forward for measurement technology, especially for real-time monitoring of bit attitude and position during the drilling process. ^[26] Although, oil & gas drilling technologies have been continuously enhanced to enable more efficient and economic drilling processes, yet their performance suffers significantly in deep and hard formations. ^[27] There have been no local bead workshops found during the Three Kingdoms period and the carnelian beads were manufactured using different drilling technologies compared to earlier Korean drilling. ^[28] Relevance of radial drilling technologies is growing, which allows drilling-in of the formation with a network of extended channels to establish high-quality hydraulic communication between the formation and the well without affecting the permeability of the formation. ^[29] Summary The latest technologies and innovations in while drilling technologies relevantly reduce geological uncertainties in Geosteering operations. ^[30] Unconventional drilling technologies like hydraulic fracturing and directional drilling have markedly increased oil and gas production in the United States while also bringing production in proximity with many communities. ^[31] Several directional drilling technologies can be utilized to drill the horizontal wells, vary from the simple mud motor technology to Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) with the advanced motorized rotary steerable system. ^[32] This article describes in a nut shell, the changing attitude of Oil and Gas companies towards innovative drilling technologies in the down turn, some of the important innovations in drilling technologies and its relevance to upstream oil and gas, the pace of adoption of innovative drilling technologies in the upstream oil and gas and the need for an optimistic future outlook. ^[33] The updated classification of drilling technologies used for the making bored piles, which taking into account the nature of the removal of the destroyed rock and the movement of the drilling tool, the type of drilling tool, as well as the method of mounting the borehole walls, has been proposed. ^[34] With deep sediments, there is always a concern that drilling technologies impact analyses due to contamination of the sediments via drilling fluid. ^[35] As one of the cutting-edge drilling technologies developed in recent years, intelligent guided drilling technology addresses the problems of drilling complex structural wells and ultra-deep wells under complex geological conditions. ^[36] The continuous demand from industry to reduce costs and operational problems has resulted in numerous innovative drilling technologies that allow us to drill directionally. ^[37] To unleash Indonesia’s geothermal potential, we propose adopting slim-hole drilling technologies to reduce costs, while facilitating sequential commitments. ^[38]
