Casing Drilling

With the continuous surging in daily rental rates of oilfield exploration rigs, Casing while Drilling technology—which provides operators with an alternative drilling solution for a reduction in drilling flat-time and increased drilling operation efficiency—has appeared to be a standard part of drilling engineers’ toolkit in the well-planning process. Significant cost savings generated by Casing while Drilling have contributed to this technique being widely deployed on top-hole string installations on exploration and appraisal wells in the southeast Asia region. The double-section casing drilling technique has gained increasing popularity among operators in recent years; however, this technique development has been hamstrung by limited casing bit selections. An improved design casing bit has been highly anticipated in the industry to reduce this technique’s complexity of drilling process. Finding an equilibrium between durability and drill-out capability features for a casing bit has been a major challenge for bit designers. The increasing prospect and demand for a double-section casing drilling technique, however, has yielded the development of the casing bit design to a wider portfolio, inclusive of a more robust PDC (polycrystalline diamond compact) cutter-based drillable casing bit. The introduction of the new robust but drillable PDC cutter-based casing bit has broadened the Casing while Drilling application. The double-section casing drilling technique without the need for an additional conventional clean-out trip has become a strong contender to be part of drilling engineers’ next toolkit in delivering enhanced drilling performance and increasing operational efficiencies. This paper will introduce the first case history of the successful planning and implementation of the double-section casing drilling technique—particularly emphasising its optimised drilling performance and ease of drill-out without the need for a specialised drill-out bit.

Oil And Gas Drilling

The oil and gas industry places higher demands for new technologies and new materials. Advanced functional materials show broad application prospects in the oil field. Technological advances in the oil and gas sector are inseparable from the development and application of advanced functional materials. Through literature research, patent search analysis, expert consultation, some advanced functional materials with potential application in the oil field are sorted out, in order to provide inspiration and new ideas for improving the development of the oil and gas drilling technology. The nanomaterials dispersion and nanocomposites films are two of the most accessible ways to apply nanomaterials in the oil field. The cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and the diamond-like carbon (DLC) nanocomposites films would provide inspiration for the oil field chemistry and protection of downhole tools. The application of CNF and DLC nanocomposites could provide innovative ideas, research and foundation for the future development of the oil and gas drilling technology, and contribute to achieving a major technological breakthrough and improve the overall level of the oil and gas drilling technology.

Supercritical Carbon

Some novel drilling technology has promoted the exploration of unconventional oil and gas resources greatly, such as gas drilling, long horizontal section well drilling and so on. As special matter, Supercritical carbon dioxide has many useful characteristic. For example, relative higher gravity like water, lower viscosity like gas and wonderful crude oil displacement characteristics, these could play some important role if being used in exploration of unconventional oil and gas. Therefore, the feasibility study of supercritical carbon dioxide drilling technology and equipment matching plan are discussed in this article to make the preliminary studies and preparation of related technology. On the basis of a lot of research and study, This paper carries out a feasibility study of supercritical carbon dioxide drilling equipment.

Casing Drilling

An investigation into the mechanical properties of K55，N80 and P110 steels was carried out for casing-drilling technology. The obvious presence of bright facets on broken K55 Charpy V-Notch (CVN) sample surfaces was indicative of the effect of microstructure on the cleavage fracture. The appearing of bright facet surfaces of K55 was attributed to the microstructure of ferrite and pearlite. The fracture surfaces of N80 and P110 CVN samples included quasi-cleavage fracture mechanism and dimple fracture mechanism, respectively. The tensile fracture surface of all three types of casing-drilling steels included dimple fracture mechanism, both the N80 and P110 specimen show higher UTS and impact energy values compared to the K55 specimen.
