Challenge: Enlarge borehole and minimize shock and vibration while drilling through hard and abrasive formations interlayered with igneous formations.
Solution: Use the StingBlock advanced stabilization conical element cutter block in the Rhino integrated borehole enlargement system to increase
cutting structure durability and improve ROP and stability.
Results:
- Enlarged 294 m [964.5 ft] with an average ROP of 5.25 m/h [17.22 ft/h].
- Achieved lower levels of shock and vibration compared with the best performance in offset runs.
- Exceeded customer goal for ROP and footage.
