"High technology has migrated to almost all phases of exploration and production, and that includes stepping right up to the drilling rig floor. That's right, the rig floor-the domain of the roughneck and the pipe wrench, where the real 'nitty gritty' gets done-is becoming more technology-oriented by the day… Technology is markedly improving drilling performance and enhancing safety, even as it helps trim cost."
-Maggie Lee in The American Oil & Gas Reporter, April 1998
Despite emerging challenges to accessing geologically complex and challenging structures, oil and gas drilling is now safer, faster, more efficient, and less costly than in the past. Improvements in drilling technology are increasing drilling success rates, reducing drilling costs, and minimizing the environmental impacts of both exploratory and development drilling. This
1-hour interactiveonline course provides brief summaries, in-depth looks, and case studies of these important new technologies, along with critical thinking activities and multiple-choice questions to test your knowledge.
