The nature of carbonate deposition as well as diagenetic processes can cause the
development of unique geological features such as cavities, vugs and fractures. These are …

This paper documents some of the key findings on the data required and methods used to
detect and correct issues with drilling control systems such as auto drillers, top drive active …

The nature of carbonate deposition can cause the development of unique geological
features such as cavities and vugs called karsts. Encountering karsts while drilling can lead …

Good directional drilling practices have a huge impact not only on drilling costs, but on
improved reserves recovery, as well as on production costs such as submersible pump …

Precise autodriller control is critical for minimizing drilling dysfunction, maximizing tool life,
and optimizing drilling performance. Measurements made as part of the control loop have …

Studying the performance of different techniques to improve oil recovery of tight oil
reservoirs have become the main focus of many researchers because of the significant …

While innovations and advances in drill rig and downhole drilling technology have enabled
operational efficiencies and productivities in drilling far beyond that achieved even a decade …

This paper describes an automated system for the capture of torque and drag (T&D) data
that can alert the driller to impending issues. The automated system is managed by a real …

Robust sensing frameworks such as high-speed inline drilling sensors provide a better
understanding of drillingstring dynamics for a complete picture of the drilling processes. This …

Drilling in carbonate formations often poses a real challenge to operators, contractors and
service companies. Severe fluid losses, gas kicks and other unwanted situations increase …
