Drilling Dynamics

Wednesday, 5 March
Room 4
Technical Session
Successful execution of well construction programs requires a deep understanding of the dynamics of the drilling process. Tremendous opportunities remain to improve upon existing industry know-how through integration of modeling with real-time data, finding innovative ways to apply or simplify models, managing the stability of rig control systems and clarifying understanding of well-known concepts such as Mechanical Specific Energy. Join the session to explore and discuss these innovative approaches with our authors.
