Electronics powered oilfield drilling technologies

The latest ultra-high temperature rated drilling technologies enable operators to keep the BHA (bottom hole assembly) on track regardless of the very abrasive formations that it can encounter on the way to targeted reservoirs. These formations along with high temperatures (190C and above) may end up veering a conventional BHA off track. The ability to recover or stick to the specified trajectory not only saves time but ensures that pre-identified drilling targets are accomplished successfully. Drillers can unlock the production potential of ultraHT reservoirs with improved well trajectory while saving rig time and operating cost. And with rig operating days costing an excess of US$150,000/day, having the right and reliable gear in place saved operators like PEMEX, US$1.35million by completing the drilling operation 9 days ahead of schedule.
