Literature Collection for the Evaluation Of Physics-Based Drilling and Alternative Bit Design At The Geysers
This submission contains links to multiple publications on the Evaluation Of Physics-Based Drilling and Alternative Bit Design At The Geysers. The long-term goal of the project was to safely implement oil and gas industry drilling best-practices, particularly with respect to limiter-redesign. These approaches to improving processes have been proven to enable step-change performance compared to incremental performance improvements based on empirical data or conventional wisdom. There were four (4) major objectives to the project: 1) Identify and understand process limiters from historical drilling data, 2) Establish workflow for implementing limiter redesign for upcoming drilling campaigns, 3) Adopt modern bit technology and utilize in upcoming drilling campaign, and 4) Implement advanced control strategies to reach limits based on electronic drilling records (EDR) data analytics.
