Roundtable Discussion
Moderator: Keith Womer, KW Technology Services

Audience interaction is strongly encouraged.
5 questions will be presented by the moderator:

  • What level of expertise and training are required to run these systems?
  • To what extent can the automated systems replace rig site expertise regarding stick slip?
  • What improvements can enhance the products or services presented here (e.g., new/improved sensors, data rate, cost, performance)?
  • What level of detection and mitigation seems the most cost effective?
  • Where should future stick-slip mitigation investment be directed (e.g. education, planning, product performance, cost-effectiveness)?
Participants:
  • Mark Dykstra, Shell
  • John MacPherson, Baker Hughes Inc.
  • Ryan Weeden, NOV ReedHycalog
  • Svein Ove Aanesland, National Oilwell Varco
  • Scott Boone, Canrig Drilling Technology
