As an alternative to coiled tubing, which delivers greater risk as lateral lengths increase for post-fracturing drill outs, stick pipe drill outs are a more reliable and cost-effective option in extended-reach laterals.

As an alternative to coiled tubing, stick pipe drill outs are more reliable and are a cost-effective option in extended-reach laterals. Stick pipe’s ability to drill out ev-ery plug in a lateral and leave a fully clean wellbore can be further enhanced by Axis Energy Services’ new …

2019年6月11日 · Stick pipe provides long-term benefits in lowering the risks and costs of the customers' drilling and completions campaigns. Axis is pleased to introduce the first in a series of key discussion topics highlighting the benefits of using stick pipe drill outs compared to coiled tubing. Read more about stick pipe's…

2019年11月12日 · The goal of the drill out is to drill the plugs into small pieces that can easily be removed from the well by the drilling fluid. And, complete the operation as quickly as possible. There are two systems used for drill out: coiled tubing and stick pipe.

Optimizing long lateral completions with advanced stick pipe drill outs In unconventional wells, coiled tubing has traditionally been the preferred method for drilling out frac plugs after...

2024年2月13日 · A sloughing hole usually occurs immediately below a cavity. The most common cause is very poor filter cake across an unstable zone. A warning sign during drilling is hole fill during connections or trips. An indication of a sloughing hole sticking is the pipe being stuck and the hole being packed off. Circulation is greatly reduced or impossible.

2018年10月1日 · An appropriate degree of bit stick-out will cause the soil beneath the drill bit to fully wash out, enabling the effective retrieval of soil fragments from the wellbore, and in turn improving the speed at which the drilling conductor can be jetted into place.

There are a variety of reasons for drill pipe to become stuck or immobilized during a bore or product installation. Melvin said poor soil conditions can prevent returns from flowing out while performing the pilot bore, and solids left in the hole can cause the drill stem to lock up.

2011年7月21日 · Stuck pipe is a situation when the drill string cannot be moved from the well. The drill string may be partially moved and circulation & rotation may or may not be possible. Personnel on the rig must be able to identify the cause of stuck pipe in order to figure out the right way to free the pipe. Stuck pipe categories
