Rotary steerable, directional-drilling systems increased rate of penetration (ROP) and saved more than 100 days of rig time when used to drill complex 3D wellpaths in the 121/4-in. and 81/2-in. hole ...

Fervo Energy (FRVO) up 14.1% in Thursday's trading after reporting a 143% improvement in drilling rates at its Cape Station geothermal development, with the Sawtooth 7 well reaching a measured depth ...

Efficient drilling in shale reservoirs requires detailed 3-dimensional (3D) horizontal well trajectories. An orthogonal-arc trajectory (OAT) method assumes a single constant curvature in the curved ...

"In an industry where efficiency can mean the difference between profit and loss, I'm not just drilling; I'm predicting, optimizing, and revolutionizing," says Abayomi Adelani Adejumo, a senior ...

Borehole stability technology includes chemical as well as mechanical methods to maintain a stable borehole, both during and after drilling. Drilling fluids range from water to oil to complex chemical ...
