High capacity drill pipe for oil recovery

In the field of oil extraction, drilling new wells is crucial for increased oil recovery. A wide range of measurement and steering tools is needed to improve well placement and identify a reservoir’s “sweet” spot. High-speed, real-time data transmission in wired drill pipe is essential to obtain maximum throughput. Specially engineered to enable maximum drilling efficiency and enhanced well control by delivering bi-directional data transmission between the surface and downhole tools, this groundbreaking technology makes use of advanced data telemetry and revolutionizing data acquisition procedures to enhance the data bit rates several thousand times.

DESCRIPTION NTNU and SINTEF, together with steel manufacturers from Luleå Sweden, have developed a new production technology enabling protection of communication medium inside the steel of the drill pipe wall.

Through numerical analysis, production cost analysis and production of prototype test pieces, the early results indicate a fully competitive and revolutionizing product.
