This paper presents the results from a workshop on Shale Drilling Technologies and Challenges held in Houston on January 25th, 2011. This workshop, sponsored by the IADC Advanced Rig Technology, Future Technology Subcommittee, brought technology leaders and engineers together to discuss issues related to North America Shale Drilling. Led by specialists with operating, contracting and technology companies, the workshop goal was to educate the industry regarding existing technologies and challenges. A unique aspect of this workshop featured results of sociology studies on the onshore O&G industry and the perceived challenges of drilling in urban environments. This is the second of a series of planned workshops to address technology needs which were identified in an industry survey conducted by the IADC ART committee in 2009 and reported in SPE 128953. |
