The prediction of the rate of penetration (ROP) in drilling engineering is a linchpin for optimising operational efficiency and reducing costs. Recent advances in machine learning have prompted the ...

In Part 1 we discussed why there is rapid expansion of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) for undergrounding transmission and distribution line; mainly to prevent storm-related and wildfire outages ...

One of BP's onshore drilling engineers is expected to decline to testify at a joint U.S. Coast Guard/Bureau of Energy Management hearing today, invoking his Fifth Amendment right to not incriminate ...

U.S.-based power equipment-maker DEWALT has partnered with August Robotics to launch what it calls ...

A Drilling Engineer designs, plans, and executes well construction to safely and efficiently reach exploration targets, controlling subsurface pressures, preserving wellbore integrity, and delivering ...

BATON ROUGE – The 2020 spring semester has been a challenging one for LSU Engineering students and faculty. Teaching classes online is hard enough, but the biggest challenge was determining how ...

Located in one of the country's most resource-rich states, the University of Wyoming's petroleum engineering program is taking bold steps to redefine the future of energy. Our program harnesses the ...

Progression from trainee to independent deepwater coverage typically adds $150–$300/day. Moving to lead on complex wells (HP/HT, narrow ECD window, synthetic/oil-based systems) can add $200–$400/day ...

Most sensors fail in hot, shaky, deep drilling. This sensor keeps measurements accurate and helps engineers handle tough ...
