Data is generally expected to continue its exponential growth the next five to ten years. However, it is commonly agreed that the amount of data that currently exist is abundant and that there is still much to achieve with it. The industry, in general, has recognized both the growth and the need to analyze the data. This is also the case with oil well drilling operations. Currently, operators m...

In this study, three different vegetable-based cutting fluids developed from raw and refined sunflower oil and two commercial types (vegetable and mineral based cutting oils), were carried out to determine for thrust force and surface roughness during drilling of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel with HSSE tool. The uses of vegetable cutting oils was investigated in reducing thrust force and ...

Formate drilling and completion fluid system is a new type of clean organic salt brine system which has been developed from inorganic salt brine drilling fluid system. It is beneficial to protecte and find hydrocarbon reservoir. Due to the solid free system, the damage of solid phase particles on reservoir, especially low permeability oil and gas layer, can be greatly eliminated, at the same ti...

The costs associated with drilling and completing wells are a major factor in determining the economic feasibility of producing energy from geothermal resources. In EGS power plants, estimates place drilling costs as accounting for 42%-95% of total power plant costs (Tester et al., 1994) depending on the quality of the EGS reservoir. An earlier correlation first developed by Milora and Tester (...

Generally, the drilling mud is divided into three groups of oil (gas oil) and gas based on its base (the main phase), which is often mixed drilling mud from two or more times a mixture of all three fluids that are present at the same time. In this paper, we first investigate the types of drilling flowers, and then we study the pollution of the types of drilling flowers that...

The most costly operation in the oil exploration is the well network drilling. One of the most effective ways to reduce the cost of drilling networks is decreasing the number of the required wells by selecting the optimum situation of the rig placement. In this paper, Balas algorithm is used as a model for optimizing the cost function in oil well network, where the vertical and directional dril...

Oil drill cuttings are challenging wastes in oil sites especially in Khuzestan province, a major oil producing region in Iran. As co- composting is a simple and eco- friendly technique for bioremediation of oil base drill cutting, this data article designed to describe co- composting of oil base drill cutting with cow manure. The data suggest that with optimized mixture of cow manure/oily drill...

Oil and gas drilling is based, increasingly, on operational technology, whose cybersecurity is complicated by several challenges. We propose a graphical model for cybersecurity risk assessment based on Adversarial Risk Analysis to face those challenges. We also provide an example of the model in the context of an offshore drilling rig. The proposed model provides a more formal and comprehensive...
