Technology Advances Expanding Applications For Casing Drilling

摘要

Casing drilling has earned a reputation as a "project saver" in drilling applications experiencing bore hole instability, stuck pipe and lost circulation problems. But as the technical capabilities expand and operators increasingly recognize the benefits of casing drilling, the technology is finding a much wider range of applications-including deep water and unconventional resource plays. The combination of advanced component technologies and a growing industry experience base will make casing drilling a mainstream drilling solution in the near future.
