The Key to Drilling Optimization and Managed Pressure Drilling
Depleted reservoirs or hole sections with narrow pressure margins have historically created insurmountable barriers in accessing new reserves. For the uninitiated engineer planning a managed pressure drilling project, it is easy to be overwhelmed by the op

Advanced Reamer Technology Increases Hole Enlargement Capability
As well designs increasingly become more complex, it is sometimes necessary to smooth the wall of a well, enlarge the hole to the specified size, help stabilize the bit, straighten the wellbore if kinks or doglegs are encountered, and drill directionally.

Technology Solution Helps Reduce Drilling Non-Productive Time from Lost Circulation by Increasing Near-Wellbore Area Strength
Lost circulation is one of the biggest contributors to drilling non-productive time, and it is the most difficult segment of drilling in which to make economic decisions. Estimations of economic impact in this segment vary widely, but it is safe to say tha
