One such recent challenge was the Solaris ultra high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) exploration well, operated by Total Norge, on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). The well was successfully drilled in 2016 by Maersk Drilling鈥檚 M忙rsk Gallant. The rig, an MSC CJ62-120S design jackup, broke a line of records in the process...

The amount of effort being put in by companies and trainers is impressive. However, based on more than 200 observations of teams taking part in exercises on drilling simulators, it鈥檚 also been observed that organizations are not investing sufficiently in the design of simulator-based exercises that would provide the maximum benefit for the team and organization...

The joint initiative, which focused on North Dakota鈥檚 Bakken Shale play, underscored the tangible benefits of standardizing drilling operations and monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) to consistently reduce invisible lost time (ILT). Unlike downtime, ILT never appears in the standard morning report. Rather, it is hidden inefficiencies and inconsistencies in routine drilling operations where performance in standard processes can often swing widely between crews...
