Publication number: 20160312575Abstract: A method of forming a supported subterranean well bore in which, in one disclosed embodiment, a first drill bit is mounted on a first string of casing tubulars via a steerable tool, and the drill bit is used to form a first bore. Upon reaching the required depth the casing string is cemented in place to support the formed bore and a second drill bit is mounted on a second casing string and is inserted into the first casing string. The second drill bit is used to drill through the wall of the first casing string and proceed to form a second, deeper bore. Once the second drill bit has reached the required depth, the second casing string is cemented in place to support the second bore.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2016Publication date: October 27, 2016Inventors: James A. Hewson, Philip M. Burge

Publication number: 20080289875Abstract: The invention is concerned with the design of oil wells by defining a number of design parameters, some of which are interdependent. The invention makes use of successive optimizations. Input data are selected for a first parameter and varied to achieve a first optimisation. The process is repeated for a second parameter whose input data includes the first parameter, and then repeated for each other of the defined parameters. The design parameters may be presented to the user via a graphical interface such as a virtual reality view.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2005Publication date: November 27, 2008Applicant: THE ROBERT GORDON UNIVERSITYInventors: Philip M. Burge, Mufutau B. Oyeneyin
