Summary This Delaware Basin case history describes a bradenhead cementing method that improves zonal isolation and top of cement (TOC). Common solutions for cementing depleted formations include stage tools, low-density slurries, and reverse circulation. For this bradenhead method, cement is pumped through …

Abstract A major challenge during drilling is to identify sub-formation change, enabling near-real-time adjustment of the drilling parameters to enhance performance. An algorithm that determines sub-formations and optimizes drilling parameters as formations change and then updates itself solves this problem. This paper …

Abstract The drilling practices, well designs, and experiences from drilling 179 unconventional horizontal wells drilled from 2012 through late 2017, in the New Mexico Delaware Basin, are presented. Geological conditions addressed include high-pressure flows, lost circulation, salt and anhydrite, and drilling effects. …

Abstract Analysis of historical drilling data in the Delaware Basin revealed stick-slip was being initiated by the rig control system. It was determined that a weight-on-bit (WOB) road map with calibrated range values delivered near-maximum rate of penetration (ROP) and reduced stick-slip. …
