Special Focus
Combining power with speed results in higher rate of penetration and full 3D deviation control to reach difficult areas of a reservoir.
The new technology has seen six jobs. Some experiences from the Middle East are presented.
Third-generation bit guiding system shows impressive application capability in drilling 7,145 ft in a 6-in. horizontal production zone.
Features
AUVs with bathymetry, side scan sonar and sub-bottom profiler, for water depths to over 9,800 ft, are collecting key seabed data.
