A Holistic Approach to Drilling Parameters and Drill Bit Design Optimization Improves Rate of Penetration by 37%, Hassi Messaoud OMfield-Algeria

Abstract: Drilling challenges in the Hassi Messaoud (HMD) oilfield have proven to be equal to the magnitude of its production. Historically, wells drilled in this field were vertical, moderate borehole diameters having a long 12 ¼"section. In order to increase production and to gain a better understanding of the reservoir, Sonatrach Drilling engineering moved to moderately deviated large diameter boreholes, delivering 1000 meters of drain in the reservoir. Instead of the conventional 12 1/4’’ vertical sec… Show more
