| Popis: | A 1999 SPE/IADC paper (52782) identified and documented solutions to a number of drilling problems encountered in Ultra-deepwater drilling. Since that time the industry has pushed the water depth record beyond 10,000' of water and drilling depths below 32,000'. A number of new problems have occurred in the last 8 years that have been caused by mechanical failures (equipment stressed to its limits) or human error. In the Gulf of Mexico recent drilling has encountered problems drilling salt and tar that the industry had not previously experienced. Three operators active in deepwater GOM have collaborated on this paper to document problems under the assumption that understanding what can go wrong is the best way to avoid problems. |
