H&P offers a full suite of integrated technologies designed to address a variety of oilfield challenges that ultimately deliver a better drilling outcome. From advanced engineering software to autonomous directional drilling and wellbore placement, H&P is equipped to not only deliver industry-leading rigs, but field-proven oil and gas technologies to optimize drilling performance.

DRILLING PERFORMANCE CONTRACT: AN EVOLUTION IN THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN OPERATOR AND RIG CONTRACTOR

Performance contracts are increasingly common in the drilling industry, especially in recent years. This incentivized contract structure, established as a partnership between operator and contractor, improves both well performance and operational execution while incorporating the rig contractor as an additional stakeholder in the operational performance of the well.

We Actively C.A.R.E. | Helmerich & Payne, Inc.

If you have been around Helmerich & Payne for any period of time, no doubt you have heard the term. Actively C.A.R.E.® is one of our Core Values and has been a part of H&P's culture for decades. The idea that we care for our coworkers, customers, and the communities in which we operate is a fundamental principle by which we operate across the globe today.

LifeBelts: Rules to Live By | Helmerich & Payne, Inc.

H&P had set the industry standard for safety as measured by Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) for almost 20 years. Unfortunately, we continued to experience Serious Injury or Fatality (SIF). So, how do we simplify identifying life-altering or fatal exposures? Want to connect? Reach out here: https://www.helmerichpayne.com/contact.

DIRECTIONAL DRILLING AUTOMATION: HUMAN FACTORS AND AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

Inconsistent directional drilling performance has cost the oil and gas industry billions of dollars in drilling costs, missed production potential, and increased lifting costs. While some directional drillers perform at a high-level, others often fail to properly compensate for multiple variables seen while drilling.

Optimizing Wellbore Trajectories for Closed… | Helmerich & Payne, Inc.

A baseline scenario is described, with wells originating from differing pad locations, drilling with standard practices and active magnetic ranging. Using Monte Carlo techniques, the probability of successful intercept is evaluated for alternate trajectory combinations and compared to the baseline.

The Language of HSE at H&P | Helmerich & Payne, Inc.

HSE – Health, Safety & Environment
Actively C.A.R.E.® – Actively Control and Remove Exposures; at H&P, safety is… Controlling And Removing Exposure for self and others
LifeBelts – H&P's safety rules that highlight actions that individuals must take to protect themselves and others from serious injury or fatality

H&P News | Named #1 Land Driller | Helmerich & Payne, Inc.

Helmerich & Payne has been named the No. 1 Land Driller in the EnergyPoint Research Contract Drillers Survey for the 14th year. In addition to its top marks overall, H&P captured the highest ratings in job quality, technology, HSE, digital and big data, Texas & Mid-continent, Onshore Gulf Coast, horizontal and directional applications, plus three additional categories.

Survey Management reduces uncertainty… | Helmerich & Payne, Inc.

Magnetic models are a critical piece of the magnetic surveying process. Increasing the resolution of a magnetic model can lead to substantial reductions in positional uncertainty. Leveraging satellite data, local observations, and direct measurements can reduce declination uncertainty from 1° to 0.16° at 2-Sigma.

Transforming Feedback and Accountability: A Path to Trust and Growth at Helmerich & Payne

HSE feedback and accountability are often met with resistance, evoking feelings of discomfort among many individuals. At Helmerich & Payne, these concepts have instead been reframed to Actively C.A.R.E.®, creating an environment built around trust, open communication between managers and employees, and peer-to-peer support.

Automated Geosteering with Fault Detection and Multi-Solution Tracking

Traditional geosteering uses manual stretch, compress and match techniques to correlate measurements along the subject wellbore against corresponding reference type logs. This results in a crude representation of strata by linear sections with offsets at fault locations.
