Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the development of a simulator of oil well drilling processes. Design/methodology/approach – The simulator incorporates the main variables that are used by drilling engineers in the definition of the drilling processes. The code is useful a priori, in the design of a drilling process, as a tool for comparing different design options and predicting their results and a posteriori of a failure to understand its genesis and therefore provide know-why to improve the drilling techniques. Findings – The developed finite element simulator uses a co-rotational Bernoulli beam element, an explicit time integration scheme and an explicit contact algorithm. The numerical results show that the simulator is stable and provides consistent solutions. Practical implications – During the drilling of oil wells, the fatigue damage and wear of the drilling column is of utmost concern. To determine the mechanical behavior of the drilling column standard simplified analyses are usually performed using commercially available codes; however, those standard analyses do not include a transient dynamic simulation of the process; hence, it is necessary to develop a specific tool for the detailed dynamic simulation of drilling processes. Originality/value – A simulator able to perform a description of the drilling process in the time range will be an important contribution to the tools used by drilling engineers.

Abstract:
_ This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 204097, “Constructing Deep Closed-Loop Geothermal Wells for Globally Scalable Energy Production by Leveraging Oil and Gas Extended-Reach Drilling and High-Pressure/High-Temperature Well-Construction Expertise,” by Eric van Oort, SPE, Dongmei Chen, SPE, and Pradeepkumar Ashok, SPE, The University of Texas at Austin, et al. The paper has not been peer reviewed. _ In the complete paper, deep closed-loop geothermal systems (DCLGS) are introduced as an alternative to traditional enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) for green energy production that is globally scalable and dispatchable. The authors demonstrate that DCLGS wells can generate power on a scale comparable to that of EGS. They also highlight technology gaps and needs that still exist for economically drilling DCLGS wells, writing that it is possible to extend oil and gas technology, expertise, and experience in extended-reach drilling (ERD) and high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) drilling to construct complex DCLGS wells. Introduction CLGS is considered a subset of EGS, but the authors write that it is a distinct entity. EGS mostly involves well designs that rely on fractures for heat extraction. Such systems are different from CLGS wells in that the latter use closed conduits for thermal fluid circulation and heating. CLGS relies on fluids pumped through a closed loop. The authors treat CLGS systems as being different from EGS systems, with the understanding that drilling technologies discussed in the paper as enablers for CLGS wells apply equally to EGS wells. In the geothermal (GT) domain, the majority of attention and funding currently is assigned to EGS projects. A case is made in the complete paper to continue to develop DCLGS technology because of its favorable risk profile compared with EGS. Part I of the complete paper introduces a hydraulic model coupled with a thermal model suitable for calculating the power generation of DCLGS wells. This synopsis concentrates instead on Part II of the complete paper, in which technology gaps and needs of DCLGS drilling and well construction are highlighted and opportunities identified where oil and gas experience and technology can be directly applied and leveraged. Similarities and Differences of Deep GT and Oil and Gas HP/HT Wells - GT wells generally use larger production hole sizes than typical land wells. - Casing-cement annuli typically are cemented back to surface. - GT wells can be drilled in more-forgiving pore-pressure fracture gradient (PPFG) environments with wider drilling margins than geopressured HP/HT wells in hydrocarbon systems. - Severe lost circulation appears to be a universal problem in deep GT wells. - Drilling costs can account for 50% or more of the total capital costs for a GT energy project. - Data sets on GT wells are much smaller than those for oil and gas wells.

Abstract:
The article presents a description of the designs of wells intended for the production of high-viscosity oil. The main problems associated with the planning and deployments of architecture, construction of high-viscosity oil wells are described. World experience in well construction is presented. Vertical wells are usually used for primary cold production and cyclic steam or steam flooding processes. On the other hand, increased reservoir contact may require deviated, horizontal, or multilateral wells. In the case of steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) and some solvent injection processes, the recovery process may require a well-placed pair of horizontal wells. Advanced drilling and real-time measurement technologies reviewed. Geo mechanical factors are studied when considering the implementation of any steam or thermal processes in the field. Examples of construction of multilateral wells in various combinations are shown depending on the field development strategy and for maximum reservoir drainage. The main recommendations for the placement of wells are proposed.

Abstract:
The relevance of the research is justified by the rapid development of the oil industry, which requires constant improvement of methods and equipment to increase extraction efficiency and reduce environmental impact. The aim of this study is to enhance the current engineering aspects of drilling in the Altyguyi field while considering increased productivity and reduced environmental impact. Among the methods used, it is necessary to mention the synthesis method, abstraction method, generalization method, induction method, deduction method, classification method, and others. This study examines the technological aspects of operating wells in the Altyguyi gas-condensate field. Extensive laboratory and industrial research on the properties and composition of oil, gas, and condensate was conducted to properly implement the dual completion technology for gas extraction from one formation and oil extraction from another formation in a single well. By implementing advanced drilling methods, including horizontal and multi-hole drilling, as well as using modern drilling fluids, it was possible to improve well productivity and reduce drilling time. As a result of technology optimization, the overall efficiency of the oil and gas extraction process in the field has been increased, confirming the significance of innovation implementation for improving results in the oil industry. These enhancements not only increased drilling safety and efficiency, but also reduced the negative impact on the environment, emphasizing the importance of integrating modern technologies with environmental considerations in the oil extraction process. This research makes a significant contribution to the development of more efficient and environmentally sustainable drilling methods in oil fields, contributing to increased oil extraction productivity and reduced environmental impact

Abstract:
Lost circulation presents one of the major risks associated with drilling. The complete prevention of lost circulation is impossible but limiting circulation loss is possible if certain precautions are taken. Industry experience has proved that is often easier and more effective to prevent the occurrence of loss than to attempt to stop or reduce them once they have started. The problem of lost circulation was magnified considerably when operators began drilling deeper and/or depleted formations. A strategy for successful management of lost circulation should include preventative (best drilling practices, drilling fluid selection, and wellbore strengthening materials) and remedial measures when lost circulation occurs through the use of lost circulation materials. In this paper the authors present lost circulation zones and causes, potential zones of lost circulation, excessive downhole pressures causes, preventive measures, tools and methods for locating loss zones and determining the severity of loss, lost circulation materials, and recommended treatments.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
A perfuração de poços de petróleo é uma operação complexa e de elevado risco e custo financeiro. Com o passar dos anos o número de poços horizontais e de longo alcance perfurados aumentou consideravelmente devido à existência de reservatórios mais profundos e de difícil acesso, além da necessidade de se obter uma melhor eficiência na extração do petróleo. Juntamente com este aumento na complexidade da perfuração surgiram problemas operacionais que, por muitas vezes, não são identificados e acabam sendo responsáveis pela maior parte do tempo não produtivo da operação elevando, assim, seus custos diários. Logo, o estudo destes problemas é de extrema importância para se garantir condições seguras de operação, além de contribuir para a otimização da mesma, mitigação dos efeitos causados e uma maior rapidez e eficácia nas tomadas de decisões. O presente trabalho apresenta uma metodologia de identificação de problemas operacionais a fim de otimizar a perfuração de poços, através da utilização de recursos computacionais, para gerar análises de previsão de torque, arraste e hidráulica e, posterior, comparação com os dados de perfuração obtidos, em tempo real, dos sensores de mudlogging e da ferramenta de PWD. A caracterização dos problemas foi realizada com base nos dados reais de poços horizontais, perfurados na Bacia de Campos, mediante a identificação de possíveis desvios importantes, que não estavam previstos, nos parâmetros de perfuração. Através da retro-análise dos dados de perfuração dos poços foi possível diagnosticar alguns problemas operacionais ocorridos durante esta operação, tais como: perda de circulação, prisão da coluna de perfuração, washout no tubo de perfuração e dificuldade de avanço causada por uma limpeza deficiente, pelo enceramento da broca e pela vibração na coluna de perfuração. Além disso, foram destacados também alguns exemplos que mostraram variações na tendência do torque em função de mudança na litologia do poço.
Drilling is a complex and a high risk process which involves high financial cost. Over the years the number of horizontal wells and extended reach wells increased, due to the existence of deeper reservoirs, which are more difficult to access, in addition to the need of having an improvement in the oil production efficiency. Along with this increased complexity of drilling, unidentified operational problems end up being responsible for most of the non-productive time and daily cost increase. Thus, analyzing such problems it is very important to ensure safe operating conditions, optimize drilling operation, control causes/effects and have a faster and efficient decision-making capability. This paper presents a methodology to identify operational problems in order to optimize drilling operation using computer resources to predict torque, drag and hydraulic effects and later on to compare with the drilling data obtained in real time from mudlogging sensors and PWD (Pressure While Drilling). Cases were based on real time data from horizontal wells drilled in Campos Basis, Rio de Janeiro, and the problems were identified with unforeseen changes in drilling parameters trend. After studying the available well data, it was possible to diagnose several operational problems occurred during drilling, such as: lost circulation, stuck pipe, drill pipe washout and difficulty in drilling due to a poor hole cleaning, bit balling and drill string stick-slip vibration. In addition, it was also highlighted some examples that showed variations in the torque trend due to lithology changes.

Abstract:
Many accident investigation techniques and other methods used by the petroleum industry today list a set of underlying human related causes and subsequent improvement suggestions. Do these techniques address the root cause behind the problem so that the appropriate initiatives can be implemented? The focus of the present thesis was to determine the human related root cause of two major accidents in the North Sea. This in order to give recommendations to improve the safety levels in the organisation. In order to achieve the above-mentioned goals, the IPT Knowledge Model was adapted to the given accidents. The data input into the model was based on interpreted observations from former investigation reports. The analysis of the blowout on Snorre A and the well control incident on Gullfaks C resulted in 49 and 63 observations respectively. For both accidents, the Human Factor that was indicated to have the largest affect on the accidents was Training and Competency (29% for Snorre A and 19% for Gullfaks C). Lack of competence was indicated as the majority subclass. Collectively, management and supervision, or lack thereof, was also indicated as being a contributing factor to the accidents. These final results coincide with the findings in other investigation reports. However, these are more acute, indicating a specific area of improvement within the company. By increasing the competency levels within the company and ensuring that the leaders and management have the proper tools to follow-up their employees and their operations, the safety levels and culture will improve.

Abstract:
AbstractThe extensive deployment of sensors in oilfield operation and management has led to the collection of vast amounts of data, which in turn has enabled the use of machine learning models to improve decision-making. One of the prime applications of data-based decision-making is the identification of optimum well locations for hydrocarbon recovery. This task is made difficult by the relative lack of high-fidelity data regarding the subsurface to develop precise models in support of decision-making. Each well placement decision not only affects eventual recovery but also the decisions affecting future wells. Hence, there exists a tradeoff between recovery maximization and information gain. Existing methodologies for placement of wells during the early phases of reservoir development fail to take an abiding view of maximizing reservoir profitability, instead focusing on short-term gains. While improvements in drilling technologies have dramatically lowered the costs of producing hydrocarbon from prospects and resulted in very efficient drilling operations, these advancements have led to sub-optimal and haphazard placement of wells. This can lead to considerable number of unprofitable wells being drilled which, during periods of low oil and gas prices, can be detrimental for a company’s solvency. The goal of the research is to present a methodology that builds machine learning models, integrating geostatistics and reservoir flow dynamics, to determine optimum future well locations for maximizing reservoir recovery. A deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework has been proposed to address the issue of long-horizon decision-making. The DRL reservoir agent employs intelligent sampling and utilizes a reward framework that is based on geostatistical and flow simulations. The implemented approach provides opportunities to insert expert information while basing well placement decisions on data collected from seismic data and prior well tests. Effects of prior information on the well placement decisions are explored and the developed DRL derived policies are compared to single-stage optimization methods for reservoir development. Under similar reward framework, sequential well placement strategies developed using DRL have been shown to perform better than simultaneous drilling of several wells.

Abstract:
Abstract With the in-depth development of Bohai Oilfield, China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), the water cut of some old wells become too high to produce while nearby remaining recoverable reserves are still considerable. In order to maximize recovery and reduce well construction cost, herringbone multilateral horizontal well drilling and completion technology is employed to increase drainage area of single well and make full use of well slot and old wellbore. Considering the current development of oilfield and the geological characteristics of reservoir, the technical difficulties of herringbone multilateral horizontal well drilling and completion technology including high build-up rate, easy blockage of drilling tools in the sidetracking in open hole, easy collapse and instability of sandwich wall and high requirements for drilling fluid performance are analyzed and solved. This technology has been successfully applied in three wells with total 6 branches and the production of three wells is twice higher than that of conventional horizontal wells with no water cut, which fully verified the reliability of the branch well tools and the feasibility of the technology. Herringbone multilateral horizontal well drilling and completion technology provides a new idea for the treatment of low production and low efficiency wells in a sustainable way and will be widely promoted and applied in Bohai oilfield, which can also provide reference for other high water cut oilfields.

Abstract:
Exploration for hydrocarbons began in the Labrador-Baffin Seaway in the 1960s; activity along the Labrador margin is still ongoing. A moratorium on exploration activities in the Canadian Arctic was enacted in 2016, halting drilling and data acquisition in western Davis Strait and along the Baffin Island margin. The exploration for hydrocarbons along the West Greenland margin ceased in 2021. Despite the presence of all hydrocarbon system elements as well as direct indicators of at least one working hydrocarbon system (e.g. slicks and/or seeps, oil and/or gas shows), no commercially viable accumulations of hydrocarbons have been discovered in the region. Potential sea-surface hydrocarbon slicks have been identified throughout the study region using synthetic aperture radar, but only the slick offshore Scott Inlet (Nunavut) has been directly linked to seafloor hydrocarbon seepage.
