What defines Real Time, Real Time Operating, and RTOC: The processes and workflows

In this presentation, the focus will be to clearly define what makes RTC successful. There is a wide range of misconception and misunderstanding about real-time operation and optimization. The main objectives of RTC could be monitoring, intervention, analysis, trouble avoidance, and knowledge capture. The real challenge is to utilize the latest technology to improve operation efficiency. This goal can only be met when the right process and workflow is put into practice.

Drilling Risk Avoidance and Uncertainties Reduction with wellbore stability surveillance

Wellbore instability can cause wellbore collapse and even loss of the hole which result in substantial economic losses.  Therefore, wellbore stability analysis and surveillance are of crucial importance for drilling risk avoidance and non-productive time.

This presentation will introduce

• Applications of geomechanics in wellbore stability modeling
• Failure mechanisms in the wellbore
• Wellbore stability assessment and modeling and update in real time while drilling
• Wellbore stability in narrow mudweight window
• Drilling in highly inclined well, in extended reach well and in tectonic region, and how to reduce risks by real time surveillance.
• Evaluate and discuss a variety of case studies in certain challenging geo environments around the world.

In this presentation, the interpretation of pore pressure, fracture gradient and well-bore stability as applied in the context of an RTOC are discussed. Pre-drill modeling and geological understanding lay a foundation for applying models in real-time. While-drilling indicators of pore pressure, fracture gradient and well-bore instability, in addition to wellbore behavior while off-bottom, can be used to enhance model accuracy and provide predictive value for proactive trouble-avoidance. Post-drilling review and archiving can be used to improve field and basin-scale models, serving as components for pre-drill modeling for future wells as well as for anticipation of troublespots and improvement of drilling performance.
