Expandables in Drilling.
SET® technology was born out of necessity in offshore wells. But innovative technology never stays put. Now operators are finding many benefits when applying solid expandable technology into their onshore and offshore drilling programs, which collectively equal reduced costs. Those benefits include:
- Slimmer well profiles which increase ROP and enable the use of smaller rigs and less consumables
- Mitigate risk in reaching TD by providing additional casing string options
- Eliminating NPT and reducing the days-to-depth curve
- Accelerating production by helping bring reserves online faster
Pre-planning expandables into the wellbore design has offered operators an opportunity that helps ensure reaching TD on time and on-budget.
