• A feasibility study for drilling & completing ERD wells on the Brage field 

      El-Fseis, Bisan (Master thesis, 2015-06-12)
      In this master thesis, the potential for drilling an ERD well from the Brage platform have been studied. ERD wells can help operators reach isolated reservoirs located far away from the drilling facility. For mature fields ...
    • Applied well integrity 

      Brodahl, Knut Jørgen (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-16)
      Extended reach drilling is the result of industry focus to exploit fields efficiently with a minimum financial and environmental impact. Two of the ERD pioneer fields are Wytch Farm in UK and Statfjord on the Norwegian ...
    • Drilling an ERD Well on the Statfjord Field, North Sea 

      Hussain, Sajjad (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-04-05)
      Old platforms are not well known for extended-reach drilling (ERD) operations mainly due to rig and hydraulics limitations. ERD wells demand robust rig capabilities, good hydraulics systems, and equipment reliability. In ...
    • Torque and Drag Friction Model: Implemented Friction Factor Dependency of Temperature 

      Brekke, Alexander (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)
      We investigated the friction factor dependency of temperature. “Friction factor” is a parameter in the calculations of torque and drag. Increased well reach is dependent on accurate torque and drag modeling. We proposed ...
