Is
Automation Needed In Deep Water?: David
Reid, NOV VP for E&P Business and Technology, Fred Florence NOV
Product Champion – Automation, Walt Aldred, Schlumberger Research
Director and Scientfic Advisor, Drilling and Telemetry
The
continuing development of automation to eliminate cost and improve
performance has moved forward in many drilling applications, but is it
fitting for Deepwater? Most of the
advancements applied to the realm of Deepwater are usually solutions or
patches for specific problems. Perhaps the current goal in mind has been to
overcome barriers; yet, we should be looking holistically at the issues and
designing a future optimized drilling system and process. The purpose
of this presentation is to raise and discuss a number of relevant questions,
such as how can we as an industry manage the system’s operation with the
increasing role of automation? Have we reconciled the measurements between
service providers and contractors? With so many players being involved,
where several parties have overlapping or competing goals, how do we
prioritize who has control of a particular process or parameter? Other
complications involved include what kind of values (e.g. pressure) do we
want; such as geo-mechanical models, hydraulics models, system response
models, updated processor speed, workflows, and data sources? This
presentation will address opportunity as well as obstacles
in our optimization process as we move further up the automation scale in
our deepwater applications.

Sevan
Driller - An Innovative Mono-Column Drilling Unit:
Clovis Lopes, Ph.D.,
Technical Director,
Sevan Marine do
Brasil
With the increasingly challenging environment represented by the new
frontier of the Brazilian pre-salt in the
Santos
Basin, operating costs
have dramatically increased. New technologies are needed to improve
efficiency and, consequently, reduce costs. This is one of the main
objectives of the new Sevan MODU concept, with
its cylindrical hull shape. The advantages derived from the structural
robustness and modularity to the simplified construction results in
operational flexibility, excellent motion behavior and superior stability
margins. Main characteristics of this new drilling unit will be addressed
with emphasis on the operational advantages brought up by the novel concept.
Recent Advances in
Simulation and Design of Recoil Control Systems for Deepwater Drilling
Applications:
Donogh Lang, Senior Consultant, MCS Advanced
Subsea Engineering
The role of drilling riser recoil analysis in the wider context of riser
management and some key issues that must be considered in the design and
simulation of recoil control systems are highlighted. A new simulation tool,
which allows recoil analysis to be carried out with a higher degree of
realism than previously possible is described. The practical application of
the tool to the design and simulation of a recoil control system is
demonstrated using an example application to a typical deepwater drilling
operation.
Innovative Compact
Drillship for 12,000 ft Water Depths:
David Roodenburg, Director Brazil, Dieter
Wijning, Huisman
Equipment B.V.
Development of a compact drillship, suitable for
12,000 feet water depth will be presented. It is designed to offer a low
cost and a flexible alternative for drilling in ultra deep waters. The
innovations in the handling procedure significantly lower the centre of
gravity of the drillship and thus allow a
Panamax sized drillship
with a 20,000 mt payload and only 54,000 mt water displacement. This
size reduction and more efficient handling procedures result in a
significantly smaller environmental footprint. One unit is under
construction and will be delivered in the second quarter of 2011.

Zijderveld, Gusto B.V. of the SBM Offshore Group
Recent exploration and development activities in remote deepwater areas have
initiated the advancement of a number of new technologies enabling more
economic exploitation of oil and gas reserves. Some of these enabling
technologies have been successfully introduced to the industry; others are
still under development or are waiting for the right opportunity. With the
purpose of improving the cost-efficiency of large field developments in
deepwater areas, the FPDSO (Floating, Production, Drilling, Storage,
Offloading unit) has been devised. By integrating the latest deepwater
drilling/completion and workover technologies
into an FPSO the field development and operating expenditures can be
significantly decreased.

2,500,000-Pound Landing
String Challenges: Have We Reached the Limit of Today’s Technology?
James N Brock,
Product Management and Marketing Manager, David Chin, NOV Grant Prideco,
Leianne Sanclemente,
Workstrings, LP
Two million pound landing strings have been successfully manufactured and
deployed. However, operators are setting larger diameter and heavier casing
to ever-increasing depths requiring landing strings with increased setting
capacity. Drilling rigs, top drives and associated equipment with capacity
of 1,250 tons are in use. Landing strings with 2,500,000-pound capacity will
be required within the drilling industry. This paper describes the design
challenges of developing and manufacturing a 2.5 million-pound landing
string.
Using Advanced Modeling
and Bit Expertise to Accelerate Drilling Optimization in a Deepwater
Environment:
Dominic Murphy,
Rig Superintendent, Tullow Oil,
Nicholas Tetley, Manager International Business, Uyen
Partin, Xianping Wu,
Smith International
The Jubilee Field is a deepwater field discovered in 2007. Initial drilling
showed some significant challenges in the 12 ½ section where up to 4 bits
were needed to drill the section. This presentation will illustrate the
application of a Finite Element Analysis model in the understanding of the
drilling systems performance. It will go on to show how this knowledge was
used over a very limited number of wells to first drill the section in one
run, and subsequently justify a BHA change to more than double ROP and
facilitate good quality LWD data.

Unassigned
Papers of Note:
The following paper proposals will be included in the conference if a
scheduled paper becomes unavailable. In addition, these presentations will
be made available in the IADC conference proceedings, should the author so
desire.
Riserless Casing Seat
Optimization: Risk Assessed Drilling Hazard Mitigation:
Kenneth Kotow, VP Operations, David Pritchard,
Successful Energy Practices Int'l
Current well design is the limiting factor to poor drilling improvement
performance, since GOM and other deepwater areas have well established well
design processes, operating practices and high service provider quality. The
common denominator for observed lack of drilling improvement is the well
design, i.e. casing setting depths and resulting hole
size below the salt. This paper will thoroughly discuss and demonstrate the
requirement and feasibility of using casing drilling for optimum casing seat
placement in the riserless deepwater
environment.
An Accurate and
Economical Option for Real-Time ECD Management:
Clint Galliano, DFG-RT, Real Time Hydraulics, Shawn Broussard, Ryan Sanders,
Peter Gonzalez, Halliburton
Operational aspects of the new fluid modeling technology, including
installation and monitoring options, live inputs and outputs, personnel
requirements and field performance data from three different well types will
be presented.
Casing Load Analysis,
Cement Strength and Minimizing WOC Times for Deep Water Environments:
Rageb Dajani,
Advisor, Cementing, Hess Corporation, Troy
Sutton, Schlumberger
Casing load analysis for ultra deep water wells will be presented.
The required tensile and shear bond strength required to support the surface
casing and present various lab tests that support the analysis will be
included.
