Drilling Process Optimisation

• Cuttings transport model

• Hook-load correction model ready for validation and commercialization

Objective:

To determine the influence of thermal cycling on cement integrity

•Unique experimental set-up •Has attracted international attention•Cooperation with Schlumberger and Halliburton

7

Cement integrity during thermal cycling

P&A - Can the tubing be left in the hole?

• Ullrigg full scale experiments 2013 & 2014

• Cement along control lines• Micro-annulus between

cement and tubing/casing was reduced with expandable cement
