What Are the Major Types of Drilling and Why?

  Introduction: Technically speaking, several risks are associated with all drilling formats, whether ERD, MPD, geothermal, or complex wells. As an engineering form, drilling also helps deliver several key advantages and benefits. And so, it becomes a critical appraisal and evaluation of cost benefit analysis. For a fluid drilling engineer ,  be it drilling for water sources, oil, or other deep-earth natural reservoirs of key and valuable components, it is worth the effort to harness and improve practical skills and expertise to carry out the drilling operations. Below, we examine the practical advantages of improving your skills with Merlin, a platform or drilling class  for aspiring deep-bore drilling. Why is MPD Advantageous and Gaining Higher Relevance and Importance? Managed pressure drilling (MPD) is an adaptive drilling process used to precisely control the annular pressure profile in the wellbore. The objectives are to ascertain the downhole pressure environme...

  Introduction: Drilling for oils or minerals deeply embedded underground can challenge the sharpest eye of a trained engineer. And without consistent training or regular skill refreshment and appraisal, on the latest technologies one can become obsolete or outdated. A drilling class  can be a great way to attain and integrate the latest skills. We see in deep sea drilling that there are several challenges to contend with, but there are ways to overcome them all with regular skill enhancement. (a). Extended Reach Drilling (ERD): Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) is the directional drilling of very long horizontal wells. ERD strives to access or reach larger areas from one surface drilling location. It also tries to preserve wells in reservoirs for a longer distance to fully utilise productivity and drainage capability. Extended reach drilling drills for longer horizontal oil and natural wells at high inclination angles to reach the deposits further away from the actual drilling...
