INTRODUCTION
• Oil and Gas industry is a technological driven industry.
DrillingExploration Production
• Cleaner is Cheaper
EXPLORATION3D Seismic technology
Reducing the probability of drilling dry wells Less drilling waste is generated
Benefits
Acoustic signals are used to make images of theEarth’s subsurface
DRILLINGHorizontal Drilling
The drilling of an oil or natural gas well at an angle to the vertical
Hit targets that can not be reached by vertical drilling.
DRILLINGHorizontal Drilling
Benefits
Protection of sensitive environments Fewer wells Smaller footprints Lower waste volumes
DRILLINGSlimhole Drilling & Coiled Tubing
Reduction of the hole diameter up to 50%
75% less mud consumption and cuttings
75% less well-site area 40-60% lower cost
DRILLINGSlimhole Drilling & Coiled Tubing
Benefits
Lower waste volumes Smaller footprints Reduced noise and visual impacts Reduced fuel use and emissions Protection of sensitive environments
DRILLINGWaste management techniques
Drill a cleaner hole than water-based muds (WBMs)
Generate a lower volume of drill cuttings By Thermal treatment technologies can be
re-used
Synthetic-based muds (SBMs)
Other technological achievements
Carbon Capture and Storage
Cogeneration
Measurement-While-Drilling
Modern Drilling Bits
