@balance provides real-time managed pressure services for drilling operations with proven ability in maintaining relatively constant bottom hole pressure (BHP) throughout the drilling process resulting in optimum bore hole conditions and improved drilling efficiency. The fully automatic system can maintain constant BHP even when the rig pumps are off, allowing depleted zones to be drilled safely. The system has been used on multiple Shell assets to date, including Mars and Auger platforms in the GoM, Gannet platform in the North Sea, South Texas Land, Shell Rockies, and tight gas. Units are currently being mobilized to Libya in support of the exploration campaign there.
The recent agreement with Smith International has allowed Smith’s proprietary pressure balanced choke technology to be built into the systems for applications in the lower cost land drilling market. Other developments include a low cost downhole deployment valve, a multi phase flow computer model and a Productivity Index log while drilling.

GDI deploys a high sensitivity, borehole deployed gravity gradiometer. The system is sensitive enough to detect the density difference between oil and water, up to 300m from the well bore and then map the results in 3D. There are numerous applications including infill drilling, reservoir management, pinpointing the location of oil and water and their interfaces, and understanding changes in reservoir behavior over time. The applications in Smart Wells are numerous as the sensors may be left downhole to produce 4D mapping. Airborne deployment is under investigation.

The ThruBit concept is a patented drillbit with a center that can be disengaged allowing logging tools to pass through into open-hole. The logging tools can be either run on wireline and retrieved or automatically hung off below the bit allowing the entire string to be tripped while recording logs in the tool memory. This reduces risk associated with acquiring open-hole logs in unstable formations and saves the time associated with conditioning trips. The center of the bit can also be re-engaged, allowing wireline logs to be run on wireline before the section TD is reached and then drilling resumed.

Total
Separation Solutions (TSS) has unique technology in 3 areas: fluid formulation (notably aerated formates), fluid mixing and heating (Shock Wave Power Reactor using controlled cavitation) and fluid filtering (cross flow filtration to 0.5 micron). Combining controlled cavitation with filtration, TSS provides solutions for fluids management such as oil mud remediation, evaporation of produced waters, and densification of clear completion fluids. Controlled cavitation converts mechanical energy into even, continuous heat without flame or heated surfaces that can scale. TSS can also provide clear, non-compressible fluids with densities from 2 to 20 ppg and filter them on location so that the equivalent of unused but completely mixed mud is always returned to the bit.

Xtreme Coil Drilling’s Coil Over Top Drive™ (COTD™) drilling rigs combine the latest in automated pipe and coil handling systems with the largest coil reels and injectors in the world. This results in safer and more efficient operations, smaller and quieter environmental footprint, and fewer crew members and truck loads for moves so that the rigs can be drilling within 12 hours of arriving on location. The rigs can drill with jointed pipe or coil, with a switch time of less than two hours between the two systems. Working in the US and Canada for the past 18 months, Xtreme has developed a track record of drilling twice as fast as conventional rigs at depths of up to 10,000 feet.

GEODynamics provides custom charges and perforating systems to maximize well productivity by addressing each reservoir's specific needs. The ConneX™ product line is the most recent innovation. After detonation, the charge creates a secondary reaction within the perforation tunnel, which develops high lateral pressures, creating a self-cleaning action that results in open, debris-free holes. This reaction is achieved by the use of new liner technology, incorporating a controlled combination of bimetallic liner material that is pressed under specific conditions. Crucially, the effect is independent of rock type and quality and does not require under-balanced perforating conditions.

OptiLIFT BV delivers artificial lift solutions to the full spectrum of oil and gas wells, from stripper to high-rate wells.
www.optilifttechnologies.com
The following systems are available:
Wireline Retrievable ESP incorporates an electrical wet-connector to allow a standard ESP system to be run and retrieved on wireline which significantly reduces installation and replacement times, costs and associated lost production. This approach allows temporary sacrificial systems to be deployed to clean up wells and test systems to gauge well productivity. This also changes ESP operating philosophy by allowing cost effective maintenance, inspection and servicing programs to be run.
Airlift Fluid Pumping System uses a compressed air driven pumping system that is intrinsically safe, quiet and cost effective. The system has no moving parts above ground and so is less obtrusive than conventional alternatives, making it attractive for shallow, low-rate land wells especially in urban and environmentally sensitive areas.
www.airliftservices.com
CTLift System uses coil tubing instead of sucker rods in conventional beam pump systems. The main application is to produce from wells that have been temporarily abandoned due to corroded casings. This system allows convenient slimhole re-completion where the production of fluids up the coiled tubing effectively provides an additional annulus resulting in a significant improvement in efficiency.

The AWS device creates electrical energy from wave motion using buoys tethered below sea level. For shallow-water applications, the stationary component can be rigidly mounted to the seabed, and for deepwater applications, the complete device is allowed to pitch, secured by a tension-leg mooring system. Pressures are controlled within the power take-off system to create a resonant springing action, allowing the device to be dynamically tuned to the ambient wave conditions, increasing power capture. |
