This reduction can be conducted by either using a compliant fuel with lower sulfur content, an alternative fuel (e.g. LNG, methanol), or clean its exhaust gasses with a \"scrubber\" technology to reduce the output of CO2 , NOx and SOx emissions. The objective of this paper is to present a holistic approach to continuously monitor and estimate the emissions of a vessel as well as to assess and improve the efficiency of scrubbers. Furthermore the deployment of a cutting-edge, integrated framework, incorporating the latest technological advances, that can of er the ability to capture, process and analyze vessels’ operational data in order to improve efficiency, sustainability, and rule compliance is presented. Particularly the conceptualization and materialization of a big data application suite that exploits the IoT (Internet of Things) and AI (Artificial Intelligence) advancements and technologies, to employ a “digital replica” of the en-route vessel is demonstrated. By collecting a multitude of features from on-board sensor installments, we present how we can effectively utilize these features, harvested in real time, in order to accurately assess and estimate the environmental footprint of the vessel by employing robust Fuel Oil Consumption (FOC) predictors. Then we describe in detail the streamlined procedure from data acquisition to model deployment, utilizing the proposed big data framework, in order to assess and estimate the emissions during the operational state of the vessel. Finally, we demonstrate experimental results by deploying comparative analysis utilizing operational data from one containership-centric Living Lab (LL) in order to validate and confirm our approaches in terms of accuracy and performance in a real world setting.","PeriodicalId":382692,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, March 07, 2023","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114678473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective is to provide insight in a newly developed technology for Wellhead Fatigue mitigation with the potential to become a future element in fatigue management. The operational aspect is appealing as this system is effective with remotely operated hook-up and a minimum of additional equipment needed. The development of the system started in 2015 during planning of several exploration wells and have continued as a cooperation between the drilling and subsea disciplines within Equinor.\u0000 The Guidepost Well Load Relief (GP-WLR) seeks to be a load reduction and operational effective wellhead load relief system through integration of WLR functionality with existing BOPs and redirecting well load thru guideposts and subsea structures already present. The GP WLR system is modular which provides for flexibility in finding a way of adding it to legacy equipment. The basic idea of such a system is explained and then how the development has evolved internally in Equinor from idea, concept, prototype, and implementation. At this stage the GP-WLR technology has been used in operations by a subsea drilling Blow Out Preventer (BOP) and a Work Over stack. The effect and use of the system will be discussed in an operational perspective. The operation of the GP-WLR system is using remote access. Experiences gained during prototype testing and first-time use have shown that the GP-WLR system have worked as intended.\u0000 The authors believe GP-WLR to be a significant contribution to the wellhead fatigue mitigation toolbox while reducing the risk for damage to equipment and personnel.\u0000 GP-WLR will be a significant contribution to the wellhead fatigue management and allows optimizing drilling schedule while also reducing the risk for damage to equipment and personnel.","PeriodicalId":382692,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, March 07, 2023","volume":"3302 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127492078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective of the present work is to investigate how various factors, influencing the value of CII, will affect its development, and therefore to identify the compliance challenges that existing ships may face. In this context, for a time horizon up to 2035, calculations have been performed and analyzed for two representative commercial ships, both built in 2011: (i) a handy bulker (28k DWT), and (ii) a supramax (56k DWT), with different performance characteristics. The effect of important factors on the current level of CII and its time development has been investigated. The present results indicate that compliance of both vessels is feasible, in meaningful and cost-effective ways. Nonetheless, a point of concern is associated with the high probability of a rating of “D”, for several consecutive years, higher than three, which is not favored by the present regulatory frame. Handling the problem may thus be a key issue for many ships, especially ones approaching the end of their service life; for them, investment for achieving an improved rating may not be justified. Beyond an horizon of one decade, solutions associated with the extensive use of low- and zero-carbon fuels, or with carbon capture, seem inevitable.","PeriodicalId":382692,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, March 07, 2023","volume":"59 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114124086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is a lack of studies on how best to utilize typical solids control equipment, as current practices and procedures based on barite weighted muds are inefficient. We report a systematic full-scale test program to study and optimize solids control efficiency with shale shaker, hydrocyclone and centrifuge with such fluids.\u0000 A non-aqueous-based hollow glass bead drilling fluid was formulated in the lab and a large batch (>40bbl) was prepared and tested using field scale solids control equipment. The inlet and effluent streams were monitored for density, particle size distribution, retort, rheology, and rheological properties and evaluated to determine the optimal equipment conditions to maximize solids control efficiency while minimizing loss of beads in the discharge stream. Variables included shaker screen sizes, flow rates and deck angles, hydrocyclone flowrates and operating pressures, centrifuge flowrates, differential speeds and other parameters. The amount of glass beads in the fluid was also varied.\u0000 The drilling fluid was contaminated with a variety of sized solids which mimic drill solids. Based on the data gathered, effective procedures were developed for monitoring hollow glass beads and drill solids in each stream. Through the systematic test program, conditions could be identified to achieve high solids control efficiency from the shale shaker, the hydrocyclone, and the centrifuge. This was achieved at hollow glass beads concentrations of around 11% and 22% by volume. While some previous field experiences had indicated severe challenges with centrifuge usage with these fluids, effective centrifuge operation could be demonstrated once the proper settings were identified. Overall, the testing results showed that most of the drill solids can be removed using conventional solids control equipment and fluid properties (e.g. rheology, fluid loss, etc.) can be maintained at desired levels without the loss of any significant amount of beads with the discharged solids.\u0000 Since the beads are lighter than base oil, their behavior in the solids control equipment is quite different from conventional solids. As such, equipment procedures and conventional settings had to be updated or changed. It was demonstrated that high solids control efficiency can be achieved even at high bead concentrations. This work addresses a barrier in the field application of these fluids and points towards practices that allow optimizing the application by minimizing drilling fluid dilution.","PeriodicalId":382692,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, March 07, 2023","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114614898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four wells were completed with openhole gravel pack and one with standalone sand screens.\u0000 The gravel packing operation marks what is considered to be the highest density carrier fluid openhole gravel pack successfully completed worldwide, with SG 2.06. A complex operation under near-high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) conditions, including managed pressure drilling (MPD), overbalanced screen running and openhole gravel packing, was simplified by utilising the same fluid throughout the operation.\u0000 Cs/K formate reservoir drilling fluid and screen-running fluid were designed with biopolymeric additives and minimal calcium carbonate bridging particles. Clear Cs/K formate brine (i.e., without biopolymeric additives and particles) was chosen as gravel pack carrier fluid. The use of Cs/K formate fluids for all stages of the operation reduced the complexity of transitioning between the operational stages. In addition, the reservoir was only exposed to one filtrate without application of damaging weighting solids.\u0000 The drilling fluid contributed to successful MPD and delivered wells with very good hole quality in the reservoir, which consisted of interbedded sandstone, coal stringers and shale. The shale stabilising properties of concentrated formate brine–based fluids provided acceptable conditions for extended openhole time and allowed additional logging runs, including pore pressure measurements, under near-HP/HT conditions before running the screens. One bottom-up cleanout was conducted before the screen-running fluid was circulated in and the screens installed. The spurt and seepage losses were low throughout the drilling and screen running phases. No breaker treatment was required in any of the wells. All wells have proven to have good initial productivity and high well productive efficiency as expected.\u0000 The record-breaking openhole gravel pack operations performed with the high fluid densities required in Equinor's Martin Linge field have set a new standard for completing in challenging high-pressure environments.","PeriodicalId":382692,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, March 07, 2023","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114763929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The basis of any approach to operational optimization is a digital twin which allows predicting the behavior of the ship and its energy consuming systems in a reliable and suitably accurate way. Here geometry plays an important role. The German R&D project MariData (maridata.org) addresses (present) shortcomings of onboard energy management systems. One specific element highlighted in this paper focuses on the desired quality of geometric representations for digital twins when used as a basis for performance analysis and improved energy consumption during operation.

Suryanarayana, Romar A Gonzalez Luis, Pedro Cavalcanti de Sousa","doi":"10.2118/212511-ms","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2118/212511-ms","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Managed pressure drilling (MPD) and managed pressure cementing (MPC) typically use lighter fluids than in conventional drilling. One consequence of this is that the fluid behind the casing being run and cemented is lighter than would be the case with conventional drilling. This has implications to the casing design for two reasons: the burst loads on the casing are augmented due to the lower external density profile, and the annular pressure buildup (APB) loads are different. It is important to consider these design implications while performing the casing design, particularly for deepwater wells. Unfortunately, this is not common at present, since the MPD/MPC design work and the casing design work are often distinct and separate, both physically and temporally. When the lower density external fluid from MPD/MPC is considered in the casing design, it is possible that the casing in question has to be upgraded (increased weight and grade) to accommodate the loads post MPD/MPC. This paper presents such a case, where the consequence of having drilled the section using MPD and cementing the casing using MPC was to upgrade the casing. The paper further presents a solution to this problem- modifying the MPC procedures such that a heavier mud than that used during MPD can be placed above the top of the cement behind the casing, thus mitigating the loads and eliminating the need for a heavier or higher-grade casing. The authors show how this can be achieved, by managing the densities of the different fluids and cement during the MPC operation. The authors hope that this work highlights the interconnectedness of well design and MPD/MPC operations, and engenders more interaction between the two groups during well engineering.","PeriodicalId":382692,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, March 07, 2023","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131208240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The service company’s drill bits business is largely based upon an in-house drilling record system (DRS) that captures global bit record performance data. The DRS contains over 1.8 million wells drilled worldwide since 1980 with nearly 5.4 million total BHA runs from over 100 countries. In the last 10 years alone, over 1.4 million bit runs drilling over 2.8 billion ft of formation have been recorded. To utilize this vast amount of data for drill bit performance evaluation, analysis, and monitoring, the innovative approach described in this paper was developed and implemented.\u0000 Traditionally, the performance of a drill bit run–often measured in terms of drilled footage and ROP–has been evaluated versus similar offset runs. Offset runs are chosen in various ways, but are typically done manually by bit engineers, meaning that offset run selection is subjective based on personal experience and bias. Furthermore, people often only evaluate the performance of test bit designs. Instead, we wanted to analyze and monitor the performance of all drill bit runs. To alleviate these biases and enable a wider breadth of considered runs, an objective offset run selection workflow was developed and implemented within DRS. Offset runs are selected based on a sophisticated filtering and scoring routine that considers many characteristics such as geographic location, time, wellbore and drilling system design, along with lithology. As new data enters DRS continuously, this workflow runs on a regular basis using an automated pipeline.\u0000 The performance evaluation results of the automated offset selection workflow are available to all data analysts (engineers and salespeople) both inside DRS and extensible applications to aid in performance monitoring and new product development target-setting. Product performance is now objectively evaluated at-scale across geographies and always utilizing apples-to-apples comparisons. The workflow has proven itself quite useful and delivered business value already but also exemplifies the need for both enhanced data quality and improved bit record data capture rate. These are ongoing efforts to further enhance and improve this workflow.\u0000 Automated workflows like this one can help our industry by eliminating repetitive biased tasks and allowing people to focus on more creative processes leveraging objective data. Developing new drill bit designs, material selections, or component selections to overcome new challenges are creative processes which contribute to increased drilling performance and lower costs for the industry.","PeriodicalId":382692,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, March 07, 2023","volume":"347 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134357170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The resulting damage includes drilling collar cracking, damaged electronics, and backed-off tools.\u0000 By measuring the amplitude and the fundamental frequency of this dysfunction, we present a model to characterize its drivers. This is a critical step in defining the mitigation strategies.\u0000 Although there are a multitude of drilling dynamics tools deployed to record these effects, the nature of HFTO, with large amplitude harmonics on top of the fundamental modes, means that simply deploying a sensor and data acquisition tool is not sufficient to characterize the dysfunction. There are critical requirements for these recorders in terms of sampling frequency and anti-aliasing filters, without which a unique interpretation of the dynamics is impossible.\u0000 We have a next-generation MWD tool that will detect HFTO. By calculating a fast fourier transform (FFT) in real time, it will also deliver a log of HFTO throughout the operation, that can be delivered to the driller in real time.\u0000 With this we have developed and demonstrated a suite of mitigation strategies. These are specific to the type of HFTO detected and include increasing the collar speed or reducing the WOB (for Type 2) or reducing the rate at which the WOB is increased (for Type 1).

Initial challenges identified in an earlier field test, and their solutions that have been incorporated into this new working field prototype, are presented.\u0000 The imaging sensors selected for the prototype, including a 3D laser profile scanner and a machine vision camera, were used in an initial field trial to assess the feasibility of building a prototype that can operate in a harsh field environment. Based on that initial field trial, the prototype was built, and preliminary outdoor tests were conducted offsite to validate its performance. Following that, a second field trial at an active drilling site in West Texas was conducted to assess the implementation and performance of the prototype in the field.\u0000 Practical solutions to key challenges identified in the first field trial were successfully implemented in the new prototype, and its field performance was validated in the second field trial where the prototype was integrated into the solids control system of an active drilling rig, successfully collecting data for during drilling operations.

The results can be used directly for improved hole cleaning management and stuck pipe avoidance in field operations.\u0000 This paper introduces the first working prototype of a 3D-imaging cuttings monitoring system that could be taken into production for quantifying the volumetric return of cuttings on surface and providing information about the size and shape of cuttings and cavings.
