Abstract In Poland all lignite mines are dewatered with the use of large-diameter wells. Drilling of such wells is inefficient owing to the presence of loose Quaternary and Tertiary material and considerable dewatering of rock mass within the open pit area. Difficult geological conditions significantly elongate the time in which large-diameter dewatering wells are drilled, and various drilling complications and break-downs related to the caving may occur. Obtaining higher drilling rates in large-diameter wells can be achieved only when new cutter bits designs are worked out and rock drillability tests performed for optimum mechanical parameters of drilling technology. Those tests were performed for a bit ø 1.16 m in separated macroscopically homogeneous layers of similar drillability. Depending on the designed thickness of the drilled layer, there were determined measurement sections from 0.2 to 1.0 m long, and each of the sections was drilled at constant rotary speed and weight on bit values. Prior to drillability tests, accounting for the technical characteristic of the rig and strength of the string and the cutter bit, there were established limitations for mechanical parameters of drilling technology: P ∈ (Pmin; Pmax) n ∈ (nmin; nmax) where: Pmin; Pmax - lowest and highest values of weight on bit, nmin; nmax - lowest and highest values of rotary speed of bit, For finding the dependence of the rate of penetration on weight on bit and rotary speed of bit various regression models have been analyzed. The most satisfactory results were obtained for the exponential model illustrating the influence of weight on bit and rotary speed of bit on drilling rate. The regression coefficients and statistical parameters prove the good fit of the model to measurement data, presented in tables 4-6. The average drilling rate for a cutter bit with profiled wings has been described with the form: Vśr= Z ·Pa· nb where: Vśr- average drilling rate, Z - drillability coefficient, P - weight on bit, n - rotary speed of bit, a - coefficient of influence of weight on bit on drilling rate, b - coefficient of influence of rotary speed of bit on drilling rate. Industrial tests were performed for assessing the efficiency of drilling of large-diameter wells with a cutter bit having profiled wings ø 1.16 m according to elaborated model of average rate of drilling. The obtained values of average rate of drilling during industrial tests ranged from 8.33×10-4 to 1.94×10-3 m/s and were higher than the ones obtained so far, i.e. from 181.21 to 262.11%.

Abstract This article describes engineering and technology solutions developed to successfully construct unconventional and unique horizontal well at the field of Eastern Siberia targeted to two isolated formations with an option to shut-off top Botuobinsky horizon after gas breakthrough and produce oil from underlying Ulakhansky bed further on. As oil-water contact in the lower part of Ulakhansky horizon makes fracturing the well inexpedient, multi hole drilling technology was implemented enabling drainage of the reserves that are far from the main borehole. The main objective of this well is to deplete Botuobinsky horizon subsequently shutting it off and continuing to recover petroleum reserves from Ulakhansky pay zone. Constructing such well is cost-effective, as it requires drilling only one intermediate casing interval instead of two. Accumulated experience of drilling and completing multi hole wells was used to ensure successful well construction; also, geological and stratigraphic data as well as possible complications while drilling Botuobunsky and Ulakhansky formations were analyzed in-depth. The following appliances were selected to meet the objective: –Bottom-hole equipment enabling drilling abrasive formations under conditions of high vibrations;–Special line of drill bits to ensure high ROP and successful sidetracking without additional tripping;–RSS with 152.4 mm drill bit. The goal set by the operating company was achieved through multi-faceted approach to performing the task, efficient cooperation of engineering technical services and continuous monitoring of output data while drilling. All that combined delivered the results listed below: –Sidetracks were carried out in an open horizontal hole without cement plugs and additional tripping for drill bit or BHA.–Minimized bottom-hole equipment failures under condition of increased high-frequency vibrations from bit while drilling hard formations due to implementation of modular PDM with data-transmitting channel.–Minimized bottom-hole equipment failures under condition of increased low-frequency vibrations from drill string with Hard Bending due to improved BHA design and optimized drilling parameters selection.–Liner was effectively run to Botuobinsky and Ulakhansky reservoirs with an option to shut-off the former after depletion and gas breakthrough. This well is the first one targeted at two isolated formations in East Siberia.

The paper presents an analysis of oil wells construction at oil fields of Eastern Siberia. The petrophysical formation cross-section affecting the quality of oil wells construction is characterized. In addition, drilling and casing experience under those mining and geological conditions demonstrates that, as of today, there are no readily available technologies that would afford safe and efficient construction of oil wells in that region. The analysis of the oil wells construction gives grounds to demonstrate indispensability of a comprehensive approach to solving the problems of construction and operation of oil wells at oil fields of the Talakangroup of deposits.

This study presents a methodological approach to forecasting the efficiency of radial drilling technology under various geological and physical conditions. The approach is based upon the integration of mathematical statistical methods and building machine learning models to forecast the liquid production rate increment, as well as to forecast technological indexes using a hydrodynamic model. This paper reviewed the global practice of radial drilling and well intervention efficiency modeling. The efficiency of the technology in question was analyzed on the oil deposits of the Perm Territory. Mathematical statistical methods were used to determine the geological and technological parameters of the efficient technology use. Based on the determined parameters, machine learning models were built, allowing us to forecast the oil and liquid production rate. A script was developed to integrate machine learning methods into a hydrodynamic simulator. When the method was tested, the deviations in the difference between the actual and the forecast cumulative oil production did not exceed 10%, which proves the reliability of the method. At the same time, the hydrodynamic model allows for taking into account the mutual influence of oil wells, the dynamics of water cut, and reservoir pressure.

Based on the introduction of the working principles of various automatic vertical drilling systems (VDS), the latter are divided into rotary push type and sliding push type. Then the technical advantages and applicable scope of various types of drilling tools are analysed. Combined with the latest domestic application progress and typical case analysis of the vertical drilling system, the future development direction of the vertical drilling technology is predicted. The results show that, the existing vertical drilling technology can better meet the technical needs of rapid drilling in the middle-deep sections with high steep angles. While the stability of wireless information transmission and wear resistance of the push pad still need further improvement. The new type of vertical drilling system that is miniaturized (suitable for small boreholes) and resistant to high temperature and high pressure is in urgent need to fill the gaps in the market segment. Domestic independent vertical drilling systems have made great progress, some even surpass foreign products in key indicators such as temperature resistance, in addition to achieving the technical goal of anti-inclination successfully. Finally, based on the engineering geological conditions of Shunbei 11 well, feasible vertical drilling tools were recommended and achieved engineering goal finally. The research results can provide support for the drilling company to optimize the vertical drilling system based on engineering-geological conditions.

The use of directional drilling techniques for pipeline river crossings has increased sharply over the past few years in Canada and the United States. Improvements in drilling technology and increased experience among a growing number of specialty contractors has helped to reduce the cost of directionally drilled installations and to reduce the risks. The advantages associated with reducing disturbance of the water course by the use of directional drilling are often considered to outweigh the additional costs typically associated with the method. While the advantages of using directional drilling methods are compelling, the technique is not universally suited to all river valleys due to considerations of valley topography and geological setting. Specifically, there are certain geological and geometrical conditions that make the method completely unsuitable. In other cases, the geology beneath the river channel and the valley geometry may present a challenge to a drilled installation that can be overcome with adjustments to the design and drilling technique if anticipated. The implications of encountering unfavourable geological conditions during construction can be significant. The implications can range from substantial construction cost overruns up to several times the original bid price, to installations that cannot be safely put into service and must be abandoned. Under certain geological and geometrical conditions, the risk of blowout or fluid leakage to the water course during installation may be significant. The role of geotechnical and subsurface investigations to identify geological conditions prior to commencing construction is more critical for a drilled installation than for conventional trench techniques, as the consequences of encountering unanticipated conditions can be much more severe with drilled crossings. In addition, a trenched crossing is inherently more flexible than a directional crossing in terms of the ability of the contractor to adapt to different conditions than those anticipated at the start of the work.
