A new whitepaper is published today, which focuses on the challenges oil and gas operators and drilling contractors face when reaching target depth in a well, from technology development company, Deep Casing Tools (DCT).

The whitepaper, Triumphs and Trouble: Technology and Extended Reach Drilling, explores the following themes;

• How factors, including a rise in global deepwater activity, and wells becoming longer and more extensive to drill, has made it harder than ever to reach target depth in a well resulting in torque and drag issues;
• Why operators are turning to Extended-Reach Drilling (ERD) as a result, helping them to maximise reservoirs in a single wellbore;
• How ERD has evolved rapidly in recent decades to reach reserves further and faster;
• The ever-growing challenges associated with ERD, despite it being the preferred method today;
• The technology breakthroughs that continue to expand the possibilities on drilling projects at a time where finding oil is anything but “easy”;
• And, the key considerations that drilling teams must have in mind to turn trouble into triumph.
