SPE Online Education: Introduction to Petroleum Geomechanics: Three Part Webinar Series

SPE TrainingJanuary, 2023

This three-part webinar series is focused on introducing the basics of geomechanics and geomechanics services to a wide audience - from service approvers (management), to engineers and scientists who might be called upon to support and evaluate the value of geomechanics efforts but who do not have specific training in geomechanics. While presented as a three-part series, the webinars are laid out in a fashion from more general to more technical.

SPE Online Education: SPE Drilling Uncertainty Prediction Technical Section Competition Results: ML Techniques to Detect, Assess, and Grade Drill Bits from Bit Images Captured at the Drill Site

SPE TrainingJanuary, 2023

Quickly evaluating damage to drill bits at the end of a run can help optimize future drilling operations. Image capturing technology has developed to where bit photos with sufficient resolution for image processing can be easily captured at the rig site. Machine Learning (ML) has also improved significantly over the last decade. In 2022, the SPE DUPTS organized a university student competition to see if student teams could develop ML algorithms to automatically detect, assess and grade drill bits from bit images. This webinar showcases the approaches used by the top three winners of the competition.

SPE Online Education: Data Science And Engineering Analytics

SPE TrainingJanuary, 2023

This webinar explains how deviated wellbores are drilled automatically with a rotary steerable system. The automation system used is capable of predicting the wellbore trajectory, deriving steering proposals to follow the planned trajectory closely or steer back to plan, and submitting those steering downlinks automatically to the downhole RSS with the directional driller observing the system. During the webinar, we explain the underlying control methodology and the automation system architecture. Furthermore, operational considerations as well as sensor and actuator influencing factors are discussed. The concept of embedding the driller and directional driller in the decision-making workflow is outlined.

Will California's New Oil and Gas Laws Protect People From Toxic Pollution?

Journal of Petroleum TechnologyJanuary, 2023

"You'd never know it by looking at it," said Don Martin as he faced a tall green wall decorated with a row of bushes. "A danger that's hidden from view." Beyond the wall is the Murphy Site, an active oil drilling project operated by E&B Natural Resources that uses chemicals residents believe are contributing to sinister health problems. For 12 years, Martin has lived next door alongside dozens of families in a yellow low-income housing complex with a basketball court and playground. Located in the West Adams neighborhood of south Los Angeles, the drill site is surrounded by a senior's home and a medical clinic for AIDS patients.

Texas Tech Becomes First US University To Train Students With Full-Scale Oil Rig

The Way AheadJanuary, 2023

Texas Tech University is now home to the first on-campus drilling rig thanks in part to donations and contributions from university alumni. The mission of the full-scale, fully operational modern drilling rig is to serve as an educational tool for undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the university's petroleum engineering program. The drilling rig was "built to give our students hands-on experience in the oil field under a controlled environment where we have total safety," said Marshall Watson, department chair for the university's Bob L. Herd Department of Petroleum Engineering, in a release. At an event that was years in the making, the 140-ft, Raider red-and white-painted mast of the National 610E 750-hp SCR drilling rig was raised on 6 January at the university's East Campus Oilfield Technology Center (OTC) located in Lubbock, Texas. "OTC is designed to be a hands-on facility available to all students at both undergraduate and graduate levels. This rig is just the latest addition to the equipment available," Texas Tech instructor Denny Bullard said.

Wintershall Dea Picks AGR Software for Drilling Time and Cost Management

Journal of Petroleum TechnologyJanuary, 2023

Energy company Wintershall Dea said it plans to implement AGR's iQx probabilistic time and cost estimation and tracking applications for its drilling and well projects in Norway. This development is expected to play a role in enabling greater standardization for Wintershall Dea's well and drilling teams in the well planning and well delivery process, improve communication and automation in workload distribution, and increase the transparency of project-related risks and costs for the management team and wider stakeholders. "We are delighted to be working with Wintershall Dea as they look to successfully deliver a number of ambitious goals," said Øystein Andersen, vice president of AGR Software. "This partnership is a testament to Wintershall Dea's forward-thinking nature and understanding of how much there is to be gained from having full visibility and a complete understanding of all project risks and opportunities, which play a major role in improving drilling cost and time management." The iQx P1 drilling time and cost planning application uses Monte Carlo simulation methods and enhances understanding of correlation between well costs and risks.
