Future development drilling in Bass Strait will be challenged by small field sizes, thin oil columns and increasing drilling difficulty due to greater hole angle and reach. New drilling technology successfully introduced in the recent Bream, Whiting, Perch and Dolphin developments including Steerable Drilling Systems (SDS), Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) bits and Logging While Drilling (LWD) tools, coupled with the successful use of jackup rigs for miniplatform development, has given Esso the tools and confidence to meet the development challenges of the 'nineties. Bass Strait's first horizontal well has been successfully drilled and completed with further wells planned in the current Bream development. There still remain some areas requiring improvements, including hole cleaning in high angle holes. Improvements in this and other areas will further improve drilling capability.Given the right incentives Bass Strait drilling technology is well positioned for the challenge of oil development in the 'nineties.

This electronic Logging while drilling (LWD) is a new sort of well drilling technology developed in recent years. As to the traditional cable borehole survey, the LWD method has many advantages because of its higher accuracy, higher geologic strata resolution capacity, much less time and cost. To meet the current logging technology needs, A data acquisition and processing system for logging while drilling is designed.It minutely introduces the collection system structure, acquisition Program, the digital design of LWD and discusses the design and the implementation of each functional module.The system which designed on the basis of the high precise DSP and FPGA implements signal pretreatment, high speed A/D control and digitalization of the phase sensitive demodulation etc, optimizes the acquisition and processing system and supplies a new way for the development of logging while drilling.Experimental results show that system performance has attained the design requirement.

The electrical and physical properties of the electrically conductive super hard material on the basis of polycrystalline diamond and n-layered graphenes obtained at high pressures and temperatures were studied. It was established that the increase in graphene in a polycrystalline diamond compact leads to a sharp decrease in resistance. Wherein the hardness of the samples is slightly inferior to the hardness of diamond poly crystals obtained without the use of graphene.
