How to Accelerate Drilling Learning Curves

Abstract: Given the current economic climate and continued volatility in oil and natural gas prices, extracting maximum benefit from drilling performance optimization is key to the economical exploitation of many resource plays around the world. Shell Upstream Americas is employing a highly effective performance improvement team to help drive performance optimization and the delivery of top quartile performance on its wells in North America and beyond. Central to this group is a dedicated team of optimization engineers … Show more

“…This particular method has recently been automated by direct access to real-time rig sensors and running commercial torque and drag software (Niedermayr, 2010). Other approaches have been investigated that are not centered on physical models of the drilling process but instead focused upon recognizing similar situations which could led to drilling incidents (Van Oort, 2011), ( Shokouhi, 2009). Efforts have also been made to take advantage of the large quantity of real-time data available at the rig site to go further than just a mechanical friction analysis.…”
