Ergonomic Exposure Assessment on a Drilling Rig

Drilling Optimization: A Review

With rapidly growing global demand for energy resources, oil and gas exploration & production companies face mounting pressure to maximize supply and increase the rate of discovery for new energy sources. Increasingly operating in more remote locations and investing heavily in equipment and facilities, companies face greater financial and operational risks than ever before. Optimization of dril...

Modeling and Experimental Study on Drilling Rig Anti-jamming Valve with Bp Neural Network

Article history: Received: 17.3.2015. Received in revised form: 22.9.2015. Accepted: 24.9.2015. An effective anti-jamming system is significant in improving the working reliability of hydraulic drilling rigs. An anti-jamming valve is a core component of an anti-jamming system. A backpropagation (BP) neural network model was established for an anti-jamming valve by analyzing the structure and wo...

Simulating Drilling on Tetrahedral Meshes

Bone drilling is a fundamental task in several surgical procedures, including mastoidectomy, cochlear implantation, orbital surgery. It consists in eroding the part of the bone in contact with the tip of the surgical tool when a sufficient pressure is exerted. Since the bone is an almost rigid material, the bone drilling simulations usually employ voxel-based representations of the bone, so tha...

Drilling through salt Risks associated with drilling through salt

In recent years, an increasing number of oil and gas projects involving drilling through salt have been presented by different exploration companies. It is important for underwriters, lawyers, regulators, financiers and engineers to have a clear understanding...
