Making deep water pay by first drilling wells digitally

摘要

Today's software platforms can be employed to optimize deepwater operations every step of the way - long before the rig arrives on location. With a US $1 million/d average spread rate, deepwater operations demand that risk and uncertainty be properly quantified. Operators would probably agree that optimal use of integrated software mitigates risk; however, they may disagree as to when software can have the most impact on the deepwater process.
