Wired-Drillpipe Field Trials Reveal Potential Benefits Over Traditional Pipe

摘要

Field trials were conducted by BP on the commercial version of wired pipe with a comprehensive suite of logging-while-drilling (LWD) tools, measurement-while-drilling (MWD) functionality, and rotary-steerable-capability on two Wyoming wells in 2007. Since then, BP has deployed wired pipe commercially in more than 14 wells at four additional locations (Trinidad, North Sea, Colombia, and deepwater Gulf of Mexico), representing a good cross section of drilling conditions and challenges.
