Helmerich & Payne
H&P has been the industry’s most trusted partner in drilling productivity and reliability. We continue that legacy with a strategy focused on long-term profitable growth and high-quality, innovative products and services.
Achieving higher torque ratings require new solutions to streamline the process of breaking high-torqued equipment without sacrificing safety, speed. With the touch of a button, it enables remote control automation of a tubular connection, reducing human interaction and the possibility of an accident.
H&P’s purpose-driven expertise, best-in-class technology and industry-leading rig designs help customers maximize production and unlock the value.
H&P recommended the newly released StallAssist® software which is designed to detect, mitigate, and recover from downhole stalls. As pressure is reaching the stall rating, the system continually and simultaneously evaluates several factors, including: pressure, the speed in which the pressure is rising, and motor specifications.
H&P’s DrillScan® technology team performed an in-depth post-analysis, reviewing all available data to identify what might have caused the lock-up event. The data provided was used to simulate the downhole conditions undergone by the completion with the DrillScan genuine stiff-string model. The results and conclusions pointed to string dysfunctions: suboptimal tripping and lubricating/ backreaming practices led to repeatedly exceeding the screens yield strength.

H&P aims to treat every customer relationship as a true partnership, which is why our Directional Team approached the operator with a bold plan to pause AutoSlide technology for the curve section of the hole where the “ceiling” seemed to exist. #autoslidetechnology #bitguidancesystem #drillingtechnology #rigcontractoroilandgas
H&P discussed these challenges with the operator and encouraged them to embrace automated technology to reduce uncertainty and maintain consistent, reliable results. H&P’s automated Bit Guidance System makes intelligent decisions based on economics and delivers real-time information, like slide reports, survey reports, drilling parameters and well plan information.

FLEXFUSION AND THE POWER OF AUTOMATION.
With new innovations in drilling automation like FlexFusion, we are leading the development and implementation of autonomous drilling solutions to deliver value through more cost-effective, consistent, precise and safer outcomes.
The Bit Guidance System uses task automation, forward modeling and automated decision making to guide the driller for more accurate positioning of the bit while drilling horizontal wells. AutoSlide technology receives the sliding instructions from the Bit Guidance System and automatically orients and holds toolface by controlling the rig equipment.
Helmerich & Payne, the global leader in drilling rigs and technology, is expanding its partnerships in the Middle East with a customized Flex3 rig. This updated design, the newest addition to the industry standard FlexRig fleet, is uniquely enhanced for mobility and agility in Middle East terrain, without compromising unconventional pad drilling that advanced drilling programs require.

Positional uncertainty in wellbores is caused by numerous error sources and propagates in magnitude along the measured depth of the wellbore. This can be problematic when planning or drilling closely spaced long reach wells while still satisfying collision avoidance policies. The ellipses of uncertainty associated with surveys acquired by standard Measurement While Drilling (MWD) tools are often too large to enable adequate separation factors between wells.
Contact friction along drill string is one of root causes of stick-slip vibrations, especially when drilling an unconventional well with a long lateral section. By using a downhole steerable motor in rotating mode, the motor bend can create important contact forces between the drill string and wellbore and consequently generate considerable frictional torques opposed to the drill string rotation.
Total E&P initiated a drilling campaign in 2018 near the foothills of Bolivia where wells can be extremely challenging and lengthy to drill. These wells mandate exhaustive planning due to the geological complexity and abrasive environment prone to severe wellbore instability. Through a unique and collaborative approach of competitive service companies, engineering resources were combined and leveraged to identify and mitigate risks of wellbore instability, losses and drilling dysfunctions.
Rotary steerable systems (RSS) and steerable motors pose their own unique challenges when modelling the bottomhole assembly (BHA) directional behavior. This paper aims to present a methodology that allows the anticipation of problems such as mechanically stuck pipe or lock up situations when running in hole casing or completion strings.
When drilling in sliding mode, axial oscillation tools (AOT) and surface oscillation tools (SOT) are two possible solutions that are used in the industry to overcome the friction forces, especially in unconventional well trajectories with a long lateral section. The AOT is assembled in the drillstring and run in hole such that it is generally placed in the middle of the lateral section. It is actuated by the mud flow to produce high-frequency axial vibrations.
Various stabilizer types are used in the industry, such as bladed stabilizers with straight or spiral blades, roller-reamers, and other emergent forms. Their designs are proved, via many in-field measurements, to have a significant impact on vibration levels.
