Program 1: Drilling and Well Construction

Objectives/deliverables
Virtual Reality RT Integrated Well Construction Simulation Model

• Demonstration of Integrated Drilling Simulator with Virtual Wellbore
• Improvements of Integrated Drilling Simulator
• Ph. D Project “An improved approach to rate of penetration and drillstring vibrations”
• (Ph D Project on “Model predictive control for drilling” (with Project 1.4))
• Link to reservoir description

Application of results
Applications of the Integrated Drilling Simulator are:

• During design to test the Drilling Plan as well as to investigate various what-if scenarios
• During operations for process control and real-time diagnosis, drilling optimization and forward looking
• During training and post analysis to assist in knowledge building and experience transfer

Potential effect for improved field operation

• Cost reduction
• IOR

Deliverables 2007
