SUMMARY Use and interpretation of wireline lookahead VSP combined with LWD seismic while drilling and LWD sonic log for base of salt prediction, a case study offshore Brasil deep offshore Campos. It aimed to assist drilling decisions by obtaining a more accurate prediction of Base of Salt depth. Setting the 9-5/8" casing point was key from a drilling perspective.

Abstract This paper establishes the risk assessment index system according to characteristics of oil and gas drilling engineering cooperation project. After modularizing risk indexes of oil and gas drilling engineering cooperation project into eight clusters, risks are evaluated on the basis of multi-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. The study is to construct risk assessment indexes ...

The technology of bi-directional data transmission between the well bottom and ground play an increasingly important role in modern drilling technology while drilling. The technology of acoustic data transmission while drilling can achieve higher band rate compared with the traditional. The transducer is one of the most imp-ortant components of it. This article has simulated the piezoelectric c...

Since Dual Gradient Drilling (DGD) is a new and advanced drilling technology, currently its methods, procedures, simulations and experiments are still underdeveloped. It requires more study, research and advanced methods on DGD systems. The motivation of the paper is to study DGD systems, design good operational drilling parameters, and work on automated DGD systems to further realize safe and ...
