Features
How a three-stage method was used in Western Canada to cut time and cost of fighting lost circulation to cement casing to surface
How limitations for storing/ handling large volumes of special mud for shallow-hole problems were solved for a deepwater well
Newly revised technical specs can maintain the serviceability of drillstring components subject to extreme downhole conditions, tension and torsion
Running smaller casing and expanding it downhole with a lubricated cone provides completion advantages and compatible metal property changes
Data from the Vienna basin shows that reflection tomography provides good pre-stack depth migration model for defining geologic formations
Examples of monitoring casing damage caused by relative movement of formation layers are shown for the U.S. Gulf and California
