What role can drilling contractors play in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)? Which technical changes are needed before an offshore rig can drill in CO2 wells? Noble is leading the effort to answer these questions, and last week we collaborated with DNV and Endeavor Technologies to simulate well control challenges in a CO2 drilling environment. In this 3-minute video, Drilling Contractor, Official Magazine of IADC speaks with Noble's Zachary Bruton about how we will play a major role in the #CCS projects of the future. https://ow.ly/Zq1X50SeCBG
📜A good example of maturing new CCS technologies📜
We are proud to support Noble Corporation with our Technology Qualification (TQ) services.
DNV's TQ program follows a systematic approach, typically used for equipment or systems, which are not already covered by a validated set of requirements (such as an applicable standard).

Why would we ever need to consider CO2 for an offshore well?
Noble Corporation is thinking through this challenge now because by the end of the decade, industry is set to be capturing and storing more than 300 millions tons of CO2 a year. A significant portion of this will be permanently stored offshore which will require legacy equipment and processes to evolve and adapt.
In this conversation with Drilling Contractor, Official Magazine of IADC, I explore some of the unique challenges of working with CO2 both downhole and offshore. I also share how we partnered with Endeavor Technologies and DNV to use simulations to obtain a better understanding of CO2 well control procedures.
In #offshore#oilfields, operators continuously seek to drill faster while increasing efficiency and reducing costs. Time is money, and non-productive time significantly increases costs. Employing strategies that enable faster #drilling speeds while overcoming the inherent challenges encountered when drilling longer and more complex wells can enhance operating efficiency and profitability. Vibrations encountered #downhole can slow the rate of penetration (#ROP) and damage critical equipment such as the #drillbit or bottomhole assembly, as well as electronics.

To wrap up our discussion about shallow, narrow pressure margin ERD wells, let's take a look at one possible liner-running scenario, and see if a design change in the 8.5" section would help with getting pipe down successfully.
Maybe you're facing a similar issue?

Let's Learn something common but intresting term "Directional Drilling"
• Directional drilling is used to describe any drilling that doesn't go straight down.
• Directional drilling is the practice of accessing an underground oil or gas reserve by drilling in a non-vertical direction.
Google Earth - Drilling Rig - Eddy County, NM ranks #2 in the state for BOE produced in the most recent month (Oct 2022). The information below is the summary of oil and gas data that goes back to 1973 and contains information on the 14,818 wells that have been drilled from Jul 1973 to Oct 2022.
With many Operators looking to significantly increase the length of their laterals, possibly for the first time, it is probably a good time to revisit what the planning for some of these wells would look like.
In this week's Training Module, we'll take a look at what it might take to float 5.5" liner out past 33,000'. Hopefully it is helpful - something to consider anyway...

Why a dropped riser, is the just the tip of a real and neglected safety iceberg.
Because, UK government, HSE, regulators, standards, drilling contractors, operators fail to recognize, analyse & identify. Major lost time well events as 'Safety, non-injurious Accident/Incident loss events.
As other industries would recognize these to be. Industries that view, Safety = the control of all accident/incident loss.
Where an Accident is clearly defined as **'An undesired event, that results in, harm to people, damage to property (eqpt, systems), loss of process or productivity.'
Vs. A UK government, Oil and gas, HSE, Accident / Incident definition, Where is this?
Supported by, where are the UK govt, regulators, operator's, drilling contractors, 'Accident/Incident' investigative reports, data sets, and learnings.
i.e. From the thousands of oil and gas 'well related accident/incident' events that result annually on the front lines? Real true evident events, that to date are left to RIP.!
'A HIPO near miss, no one hurt, as much as gets shared'.
'A dropped riser', the tip of a neglected safety accident iceberg of well failures that result daily.
From an industry that refuses to SEE Accidents as defined, as safety.
In this training module, let's take a fresh look at the effect a more tortuous Wellpath can have on T&D and why it could become important from both a cost and an operational standpoint.

Great work Noble Corporation with this important initiative. Looking forward in supporting for future simulations!
