Insights to Optimize Geosteering
October 12, 2021
Schlumberger
Join Schlumberger’s Vera Wibowo and Jean-Michel Denichou as they discuss the latest advancement in geosteering services with the PeriScope Edge, a recently introduced deep resistive LWD technology. The pair discuss how geosteering has become a fundamental part of modern field development, where simple geometric target drilling could result in far less than optimal recovery and increased non-productive time.

Innovative Power Section Design Drives Performance and Improves Reliability
April 21, 2021
Abaco Drilling
Abaco's single direction stators with deviated profiles address drilling stresses on the power section lower end using a variable fit that reduces friction and overheating. The result has been a proliferation of the technology across all the demanding drilling applications in the US shale basins.
We will show details of the way Abaco’s OPTIFIT technology addresses stall and thermal damage in challenging drilling environments. Dyno test power curve comparisons showing OPTIFIT versus conventional designs will be presented. We will close with a summary of the field successes in a variety of basins and formations.

The Future of Drilling is Here: Rethinking Drilling Innovation
April 13, 2021
Corva
Faster, cheaper, safer, better. Whether drilling onshore or offshore, these four words represent the challenges and currency of success for any drilling operation. As the industry continues to see new records for faster ROP and reduced NPT, an exciting challenge of consistency within drilling performance and digitalization of the drilling value chain remain.
Our industry experts will explain how our clients across continents and basins, sizes (small and large) have benefited from increased speeds of well delivery, consistency in high drilling performance and simplified well design automation. These key outcome metrics were achieved without adding organizational and technical implementation complexities, which are important pillars for seamless adoption across multi-faceted disciplines within organizations.

Abaco Power Sections - How our Technology is Changing Drilling Optimization
July 16, 2020
Abaco Drilling
This webinar will feature field data and case studies from the Permian and Eagle Ford about Abaco’s latest engineering innovation; single direction stators with deviated profiles. These new stator profiles address performance drilling stresses on the power section lower end with a variable fit which reduces friction and overheating. This results in greater power section reliability and a reduction in field failure rates in all drilling applications.
The case studies will present common issues and challenges seen in stator technology today including stall and thermal damage and the way that Abaco’s OPTIFIT Technology specifically addresses these challenges.
