Advances in global drilling practices are making operations safer, more efficient and finding lower cost innovations to challenging problems, while pushing the boundaries. Topics in this session include cementing losses, safety leading indicators, computer vision technologies on deepwater rigs, salt caverns and rig automation. Drilling campaigns and implementations outlined in these papers provide a candid reflection on results of designing the wells of tomorrow. Digital techniques are intertwined into these papers and highlight impacts from the drill bit to the shale shaker. The case studies showcase lessons that can be applied to a variety of operational environments as evidenced in diverse examples from Brazil to GoM to the UAE.
