Real-time streaming well data monitors drilling performance and aids drilling decisions using web-based drilling models to calculate and predict drilling parameters. These models improve rate of ...

Melting holes is sometimes a better option than drilling them. Thermal drilling relies on friction from a carbide bit to melt and extrude metal and form a hole. The process leaves a thicker lip around ...

Continued innovation in modeling and algorithm development has led to new process control for the Cyberbase/SDI drilling command center. Collaboration between the International Research Institute of ...

Drilling deeper, longer and more challenging wells has been made possible by improvements in drilling technologies, including more efficient and effective drilling fluids. Drilling fluids, also ...
