Drillpipe for shale drilling improves WOB, reduces SPP

摘要

Three areas were identified with the most benefits in the field: hydraulics improvement, buckling resistance and tube wear reduction. The learning curve for the oil and gas industry has been steep and fast - over the last decade operators drilling in North American shale plays have migrated to highly complex and extended-reach wellbore geometries that require tremendous engineering effort. Increasing energy demand has challenged the industry as never before to improve the ROP and drive down costs in these shale plays without compromising safety.
