Rotary Steerable System In Directional Wells

Rotary Steerable System RSS represents an evolutionary step forward in directional drilling technology, overcoming the drawbacks of steerable motors and conventional rotary BHA types. In steerable motors, to initiate a change in the wellbore trajectory, halt the rotation in such a position that the bend in the motor points toward the new trajectory. This mode, …

Steerable Downhole Drilling Mud Motors

A steerable downhole drilling mud motors system allows directional changes (azimuth and/or inclination) of the well without tripping pipe to change the Bottom hole Assembly BHA, hence its name. This article is one of the Directional Drilling guide articles I recommend visiting to understand other deflection tool mechanisms. It consists of a drill bit, a …

Bent Sub And Mud Motor In Directional Drilling

The most commonly used technique for changing the trajectory of the wellbore uses a piece of equipment known as a “bent sub,” which is used only in directional well drilling (Figure 1) with a Positive Displacement (mud) motor. What is The Bent Sub In Directional Drilling A bent sub (Drilling Subs) is a short length …

Depth and Geographical Reference Systems

The trajectory of a deviated well must be carefully planned so that the most efficient trajectory is used to drill between the rig and the target location and ensure that the well is drilled for the least amount of money possible. Here we shall understand what is the Depth and Geographical Reference Systems When planning, …

Casing Centralization & Installation Patterns

Take into your considerations: Installation Patterns (For Mechanical Cementing Aids) The selection of the proper installation pattern for mechanical cementing aids i.e. centralises, scratchers, turbolisers, etc. is essential to optimise casing running and cementing results. Cementing aids and their installation pattern are a function of operational conditions and cementing objectives. Because of these variable factors, …

Parameters That Affect PDC Bit Performance

The performance of a bit may be judged on the following criteria: Cost Per Feet Since the aim of bit selection is to achieve the lowest cost per foot of hole drilled the best method of assessing the bits’ performance is the last of the above. This method is applied by calculating the cost per …
