Extended Reach Drilling - Hesham F Tantawy

Extended Reach Drilling is one of the complex drilling techniques the Oil and Gas industry was urged to develop to reach inaccessible resources, reduce field development costs, and maximize value by adding more reserves. Still, the reach of these wells is limited by several factors including but not limited to torque and drag, hydraulics, wellbore stability, etc. A new technology was recently launched that could be a game changing technology for ERD over the next few years. It is claimed it could extend the reach to a new level. In this book, that technology is identified, and compared to conventional drilling with a case study. Highly recommended book for technology lovers and experts in search for new ideas.
