DRILLING DEPARTMENT
Oil India Limited being an E&P Public Sector company of India, with its rich legacy, it bears
moral and corporate responsibility to contribute it’s best for strengthening country’s energy
security and hence the organization has its primary objective to continuously endeavor for
accretion of reserves and maintenance of production level. This calls for drilling in logistically
difficult and geologically complex boundary conditions.
Drilling Department is fully committed to achieve the organizational goals and the whole work
force is relentlessly engaged as a team with dedication in carrying out the following
operations/ tasks to fulfill the targeted objectives.
i. Drilling and completion of Exploratory & Development wells.

ii. Drilling of infill and Water Disposal wells.
iii. Technical Services (Cementing, Rig Building, Equipment & Fishing, Drilling-TS,
Directional Service, Instrumentation, Planning & Budgeting) support all the above
operations.
iv. Monitoring Health, Safety & Environmental issues of the department/ Drilling sites.
v. All administrative function in support of above operations & services on 24x7 basis.
vi. First hand public relation function is performed by field executives.
The challenges range from drilling shallow wells to deep Eocene wells, sub normal to
abnormal (high) pressure & temperature wells, development of ranked wildcat wells, wells
having straight, directional trajectories are drilled having high displacement profile.
To carry out its drilling activities in the development and exploratory fields of Assam,
Arunachal Pradesh & Mizoram, Drilling Department utilized eleven (11) in-house drilling rigs
of varying capacities –six (06) 1400 HP, three (03) 2000 HP and one (01) each of 600 HP, DM-
5 (for WDW) and 3000 HP. In addition to in-house fleet, eight (08) nos of Charter-Hire Drilling
Rigs (03 nos 1400 HP & 05 nos 2000HP) were also utilized for different periods for drilling
activities.
Number of wells drilled during the FY 2020-21 was 30 numbers against a BE target
(FHQ) of 41 numbers which is 73.17% and corresponding drilling meterage achieved was
80,719 m against BE target of 1,68,286 m which is 47.96 % of BE target. This shortage in
number of wells drilled and meterage achieved was mainly due to the unprecedented
environmental issues encountered by Oil India Limited during the FY 2020-21 like COVID-
19, Baghjan#5 blow out incident related issues, Abduction of crew & threat by terrorist outfit,
bandh over various local issues along with non-availability of drilling location/allied services
etc.
It is also worth mentioning that adherence and compliance of more and more stringent Safety
& Environmental regulations and policies by statutory bodies like DGMS, OISD, SPCB, CPCB,
MoEF&CC etc also remained a major challenge with limited supervisory staff. All efforts were
being made for full compliance of the statutory regulations and to ensure safety of men &
machines.
ADOPTION OF NEW TECHNOLOGY:

Page 3 of 79
DRILLING DEPARTMENT
To remain competitive with quality enhancement in today’s global market as an E&P

company, Drilling Department continuously adapted itself to the environment by inducting
various new technologies & appropriate measures. Some of the major projects in continuation
are
 Use of Whipstock setting & Window milling services for re-entry wells drilling from existing
dry wells or wells with severe downhole complicacies.
 Cementing section has started using Microbond-HT for both 9.5/8” and 5.1/2” casing
cementing jobs. A good cement bond would avoid any problems such as ‘Sustained Casing
Pressure’ & ‘Annular Pressure Build ups’ and reduce the cost involved in the remedial jobs
for zonal isolation.
 K2SO4-PHPA mud system and HyPR Graph lube were used at high torque and drag wells
and found to be very effective.
 Procured 05 (Five) sets of PA (public addressing – Intercom) system for In-house drilling
Rigs and commissioning is in progress.
 PORTADECK (Heavy Duty access and Ground Protection mats with a unique patented
compression moulding process used successfully in BGN#05 deplorable plinth condition.
MAJOR PROJECTS IN HAND:
 Procurement of 05 nos. of new 2000 HP VFD drilling rigs is on the process (Project Cost =
1274 Cr).
 Hiring of RSS with Mud Engineering Service is on the process (Project Cost = 340 Cr).
 e-RTMAC under Project Drive is on the process (Project Cost = 126 Cr).
 Three (03) Mud Pump System will be installed at Rig: S#8, E-3000.
 Hiring of HSE Bundle Services is in the process, Purchase requisition released.
 Commissioning of Iron roughneck unit at Rig: V-2.
 Complete over-hauling of both Top Drive Systems of rig: V-1 & V-2.
 Construction of over-head shed at Draw works maintenance yard.
 Complete health check-up & refurbishment of Skytop mast & sub-structure of Rig S-3 (E-
1400).
 Increasing the exhaust stack height of power pack engines (CAT 3512 B with acoustic
enclosure) of rigs V#1, V#2 and DM#5 to 9.31 mtrs above ground level in order to meet the
guidelines prescribed by CPCB regarding exhaust stack height is in the process.
COST SAVING MEASURES:
 Limiting sliding mode to the maximum extents during drilling of tangent section by
suitably designing BHA and Hydraulics in directional wells.
 PDC bit extensively used wherever feasible to reduce the drilling time.
 Utilization of RSS (Rotary Steerable system) in highly complicated wells resulted in better
well profile with lesser complication and reduction in rig time.
 “One Bit One Section” successfully implemented in many directional wells, which had
saved immensely in terms of Rig time.

Page 4 of 79
DRILLING DEPARTMENT
 Effective utilization of hired directional services saved substantial amount of well cost.
 Installation of mud flow line from Header box to trip tank directly by-passing the shaker
units in VFD rigs having MI-SWACO solid control system which reduced idle running of
shakers during Tripping and thereby preventing damage of the screens and other parts .
This modification helped in saving approximately 5.5 hours per section drilled and
approximately Rs. 2,05,787.00 (Cost of screens) per well drilled.
 Fabricated /repaired in-house damaged Acoustic Enclosure of 3 Nos. Powerpack of S#2 rig
at LOC:HRX-1. This resulted in cost saving of INR 45,000.00 as against service quote by
M/s GCPL.

4.0 MAJOR REASONS FOR SHORTFALL OF METERAGE
It may be noted that there has been considerable constraints in following areas, which
resulted in reduced drilling meterage
A. Waiting for forward Locations:

Total Loss of Rig Days: 324.25 Days
Loss of Planned Rig Year: 0.89
Total Loss of Meterage: 8378.62 m
B. Critical Down Hole Problem (SUB SURFACE PROBLEM):

C. Rig Repair (SURFACE PROBLEM):

Total Loss of Meter age: 2870.31 m
D. Production Testing exceeding planned days (EXTENDED PRODUCTION TESTING):

E. Environmental Problems: (COVID-19, BGN#05 blow out related issues, Abduction

of crew & threat by terrorist outfit, Local Bandhs/ Blockades due to various issues
etc):
F. Waiting for Allied Services:

G. Consequential Losses:

DRILLING DEPARTMENT
In addition to the above mentioned reasons for the available drilling rigs, delay in
mobilization of following Charter Hire rigs due to various issues caused shortfall of
performance as follows:
i) Delay in mobilization = 274 days of rig: CH-E-3000 by which 8250 m was planned to be
drilled at loc: Sadiya-1 & W. Mesaki-A.
ii) Delay in mobilization = 365 days of rig: CH-4, E-2000 by Contractor (SINDHU) by which
9900 m was planned to be drilled, (as per LOA, date of mobilization was 10.02.2020;
not mobilized till 31.03.2021).
iii) Delay in mobilization = 132 days of rig: CH-5, E-2000 by Contractor (FORESIGHT)
mainly due to COVID-19 lock down (as per LOA, date of mobilization was 31.03.2020;
mobilized on 10.08.2020).
iv) Delay in mobilization= 12 days of rig:CH-2, E-2000 at loc:KUAS by Contractor
(QUIPPO).
However, Oil and Gas potential build up achieved during the year was
more than the BE target :

5.0 DIRECTIONAL DRILLING SECTION

Page 13 of 79
DRILLING DEPARTMENT
Preface:
Gone are the days of easy oil. Due to the gradual increase of problems pertaining to land
acquisition as well as environmental clearances most of the wells have been planned for
Directional Drilling in the financial year 2020-21. During the last financial year, except 01
water disposal well and some wells in Mizoram block, all the wells were directional wells i.e in
other word around 90% wells were deviated.
Moreover, most of the wells released were found to be challenging looking into the fact that we
have to drill with greater TVD and greater displacements.
The Directional section of Drilling Department, with its very limited manpower, is directly
associated with vast job of planning and designing of Directional wells along with supervising
execution during actual drilling operation. Directional section plans to meet the geological
targets and supervises the drilling operation with help of Landmark directional software and
hired directional services. The Directional drilling section of FHQ, also helps and supports
with respect to technical feedback, design, torque & drag analysis and other drill ability
issues as and when sought by various projects in pan India.
This section plan & design the optimum well profile for minimum torque, drag, anti-collision
and hydraulics issues as per the surface and sub-surface coordinates given in the draft
DDDP (Depth Data Drilling Policy) prior to finalization of the same. It is also to be noted that
Directional Drilling Section also has to give the inputs related to Directional section in EDP
(Executive Drilling Plan) which is currently implemented for exploratory locations.
Whenever directional service provider declines to accept a well profile due to torque, drag or
anti-collision issues, this section takes up the responsibility and assists the service provider
for drilling by providing look ahead correction plan with a new BHA and hydraulics.
Hence the responsibility lies on this section to approve the drillability of the well.
Jobs undertaken by the section during 2020-21:
1. OIL achieved a drilling meterage of 80719m (79740m (Assam) + 979m (Arunachal))

during the financial year. Out of this 80719m drilling meterage, around 90% was
achieved from directional wells where the directional section contributed in designing
well profile, drilling parameters, the BHA at the same time supervising and monitoring
the drilling processes with the help of directional service providers.

Page 14 of 79
DRILLING DEPARTMENT
2. Field operations:
A. With continuous effort and proper monitoring, the Directional section contributed in
carrying out directional drilling jobs at 33 nos. of wells which includes 16 no. of “J”-
profile wells (12 full + 04 partial), 17 no. of “S”-profile wells (14 full + 03 partial)
during the financial year 2020-21
B. The section has taken the responsibility of providing support to the Logistic
department during inter location movement of the directional tools & equipment of
the service providers. The section took help of Security and Administration
department whenever felt necessary for prompt uninterrupted ILM of the tools and
equipment.
C. The section was instrumental in successful completion of 04 nos. of whip-stock

setting & window milling job at Loc: KUAS, Loc: HRX-1, Loc: NLT, Loc: DGF-1.
Another whip-stock setting and window milling job was being carried out at Loc:
HUN-1.
D. The section has also taken the additional responsibility of transferring all old DPRs
and well data stored in CDs to hard disk. These were properly indexed, location
wise and well wise for easy retrieval and access whenever needed in future.
E. The section also has carried out On-hire survey, inspection of tools and equipment
of the directional services at the time of mobilization or whenever replaced with new
one.
F. The Directional drilling section has the responsibility of supervising and monitoring
the directional drilling operations in co-ordination with the service providers for
ensuring completion of the wells as per approved plan smoothly.
G. The section is also involved in assisting the operation teams to complete the wells
as and when required, once directional service is withdrawn.
H. The section has completed all the directional wells in spite of many wells
encountering downhole stability issues which caused several stuck up and fishing.
In fact, in couple of wells, direction tools and equipment got lost in the hole due to
downhole wellbore instability despite best effort was been tried to fish out the lost
tools and equipment. However, it was also to be noted that although there was
lack of information on geo-mechanical stresses and wellbore instability,
sidetracking in those challenging wells was successfully completed.

Special Job Done during 2020-21:
During financial year 2020-21, the Directional section has undertaken many challenging
wells and successfully completed those. Due to the consistent rise in issues related to
land acquisition associated with OIL’s exploration in deeper depth in designing of wells
had become more challenging having high displacement, inclination and deeper in depth
which were efficiently handled by the section.
The following were some of the many achievements that were been highlighted herein. .
Loc: KUAS:
 The well was designed as “S” profile with kick off at 1250m with a horizontal displacement
of 647.93m. Although the initial well profile seemed to be simple to drill, later on it was
observed that the formation encountered at Kumchai area was highly complex due geo
mechanical instability of sub-surface formation and ROP attained was very poor. The well
encountered severe downhole instability in 8.5-inch section. Due to unsuccessful fish

Page 18 of 79
DRILLING DEPARTMENT
recovery the mother hole had to be cement plugged. Consequent to cement plug it was
decided to side-track the well in 8.5-inch section as per G & R department requirement.
After successful side-track job by directional drilling section, the well was handed over to
operation section for remaining vertical drilling to reach to the target depth at 4140m.
While Open Hole survey was carried through TLC by M/s. Schlumberger, the tool with
radio-active source got stuck resulting of a fish of 942 m with radio-active source
remained in the hole. As per AERB guideline the well was abandoned by placing three
cement plugs. It was decided to drill a replacement well utilizing technology of whip-stock
setting and window milling in 9.5/8” casing.
The well was successfully completed by setting 9-5/8 Whip-stock at 2858.5m and exiting
through the casing by window milling. The profile of the well was S-Profile having
Horizontal displacement of 674m at MD 3686m. The well was subsequently brought onto
production and currently producing.
Loc: HRX-1

Page 19 of 79
DRILLING DEPARTMENT
 The development location HRX-1 (proposed as Loc. A) is a replacement well for well
HJN-41, lies at a distance of around 30 m towards SE of well HJN-41 (Loc. HRX) in the
North Hapjan Structure. However, Loc. HRX-1_Revised (S/S) lies at a distance of
around 26 m towards SE of well HJN-41 (S/S) drilled as S-bend deviated well from the
existing cellar of Well Hapjan-41 (Loc. HRX). Accordingly whip-stock was set at the
depth of 1305.5m using services from M/s Weatherford. After exiting by cutting a
window through 9.5/8″ casing directional services from M/s Halliburton was utilized to
drill ahead to the target depth of 2954m. The well was successfully drilled and brought
onto production. It is to be noted that during drilling of 8.1/2″ hole section a very high
torque was experienced, however, with proper and constant monitoring and supervising
the well was successfully completed.

Page 20 of 79
DRILLING DEPARTMENT
Loc: NLT
The Loc: NLT has been proposed to drilled from existing cellar of abandoned well NHK:
649 (Loc:NLO) by window cutting of 13.3/8″ casing at around 900m. Accordingly whip-
stock was set at 901.5m. After cutting the window at 13.3/8″ casing in the range of 892
m- 897.5m directional services of M/s Halliburton was utilized and drilled the well
successfully to its TD at 2795m with a horizontal displacement of 452.54m.
Subsequently 9.5/8″ casing was lowered through the window and cemented the casing
annulus. Finally M/s Baker Hughes services BHA was utilized to drill the remaining
8.1/2″hole section and completed the well successfully. The well NLT had collision
issue with the neighboring well which was closely monitored by directional team during
the whole drilling processes to prevent from collision.

Loc: CAD
 The location is planned to be drilled as a deviated (J-bend) well from an independent

plinth to probe the hydrocarbon prospects in the Lakadong + Therria Sand Group as
primary objective. The well was very challenging for directional drilling because of its
high horizontal displacement of 1550m at 4350m TD. However, with proper design and
constant monitoring, drilling was completed successfully. RSS with LWD tools were
used in the 8.1/2” hole section for smooth profile of the well and real time sub-surface
data acquisition.

primary objective. Drill string comprising M/s Halliburton’s directional tools of 8.5 inch
section at Loc-HZB got stuck at the depth of 3900m during tripping out. At 3900 m
(MD), severe tight zone was observed which could not be cleared by scrapping, hence it
was decided to back ream. While back reaming string got stuck at the depth of 3900 m.
Rigorous work on string was carried out with down jarring but the string could not
released. The string was backed off at 3857m and match on the string was run with
bumper sub for the first time having special BHA, designed by the directional team.
Finally string was retrieved and successfully drilled ahead to the target depth and
brought the well into production.
Cost saving measures undertaken during 2020-21:
 Enhanced ROP was achieved by

Page 24 of 79
DRILLING DEPARTMENT
o Limiting sliding mode to the maximum extents during drilling of tangent section by
suitably designing BHA and Hydraulics in directional wells.
o PDC bit was extensively used wherever feasible to reduce the drilling time.
o Utilization of RSS (Rotary Steerable system) in highly complicated wells resulted in
better well profile with lesser complication and reduction in rig time.
o Proper monitoring of tools and equipment of service providers and ensuring timely
maintenance of the same has led to minimization of downhole tool failures and un-
planned round trips.
o Major challenge was encountered in many directional wells in terms of hole
instability which was addressed by the section to a greater extent by proper
monitoring of wells as well as modification of designs as and when required.
o Effective utilization of hired directional services saved substantial amount of well
cost.
o After expiry of drilling software consultant tenure from March’15, this section has
managed and handled directional software on its own and deliver the quality
service to its stake holder and saved humongous amount of company’s financial
outgo.
 Exclusive contribution of the section to the company:
 This refers mainly to the land acquisition problem. Many directional wells were
drilled from existing plinth saving a huge amount against land procurement. Due
to the success of the high displacement and high angle J-Bend well, targets once
inaccessible are now been drilled with ease and geological targets are being drilled
with accuracy.
 The section has also been proactive in incorporating advance technologies as far as
directional services and logging while drilling is concern.
 Due to the incorporation of RSS (rotary steerable system), deeper and complicated
wells are being drilled with the help of existing rigs with smoother well profile. Also
due to the adoption of LWD (Logging while drilling) real time logging data are being
received which helps co-relating with post wire line survey data.
 The section has proactively incorporated state of the art LWD (Logging While
Drilling) systems, Real time monitoring system (both computer as well as mobile
based) which enhanced landing accuracy in horizontal wells.
 The section had designed and successfully completed challenging whip-stock

setting and window milling jobs in several wells eg: Loc: KUAS, HRX-1,NLT, DGF-
1,HUN-1 etc.

Major Achievement:
1) Total numbers of 201 cementation jobs were carried out during the FY20-21 inspite of the
COVID-19 pandemic. This comprises of 81 Primary jobs and 117 secondary jobs.
2) Cementing section has successfully provided work personals on demand to

instrumentation cell of drilling department in spite of acute shortage of work force.
Moreover, all cementing jobs requirement by drilling & workover operations were met on
time without any delay because of manpower shortage by precise planning measures &
putting current workforce on overtime.
3) Cementing section has started using Microbond-HT for both 9.5/8” and 5.1/2” casing
cementing jobs. Microbond is a post set expansive additive which expands the setting
cement instead of allowing it to shrink and thus avoid micro-channels through which the
gas may migrate upwards. This reaction during the hydration process of the cement
would provide better results in terms of cement bonding to the casing and to the
formation. A good cement bond would avoid any problems such as ‘Sustained Casing
Pressure’ & ‘Annular Pressure Build ups’ and reduce the cost involved in the remedial
jobs for zonal isolation.
4) 12 nos. of Leak Off Test carried out using cementing manpower and cementing unit at
various drilling locations.
5) Cementing section has supplied most of the chiksan joints and other necessary
equipments used at Baghjan#5, along with manpower for the special taskforce formed
during the emergency crisis situation in the FY 20-21.

DRILLING DEPARTMENT
It may be mentioned here that besides the conventional day-to-day jobs, the jobs like creation
of E-way Bills, issuance of materials on rental to CH- rigs, record keeping for stringent safety
norms, regular servicing of age-old equipment/tools etc has pressurized the section for
shortage of manpower. To add to its woes, the section has on the contrary been handicapped
due to superannuation of experienced personnel in the recent past. With the present man-
power strength, it is a herculean task to deliver the quality of service that has come to be
expected from the section. A review of the manpower strength allocated to the section is the
need of the hour to enable the section to continue providing quality service in the coming
days. In spite of so many constraint as stated above, tried to put the best and continued to
perform to the best of the ability.

1 (b) Initiation of HSE Bundle service contract

Team Drilling-HSE and Drilling-Planning has released the Purchase requisition document
2227827 on 08.02.2021 for HSE Bundle Services.
1 (c) Introduction of One Day First Aid Training “JIVAKA”
The presence of hazards is inevitable in drilling and workover operations and even though
utmost care is taken to prevent incident; it does happen leading to injury to person working
in site. In addition to it, drilling operation is generally carried out in isolated place and
established medical facilities are away from it. In such condition, First Aid is the only
assistance which could be given to any person suffering a sudden illness or injury, with care
provided to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, and/or promote recovery.
L&D Department conducts three-day First Aid Training Certificate Program through St John
Ambulance as per Mines Rules 1955. This is restricted to only permanent employees and not
for contractual employees. However, sufficient number of employees could not be trained due
to inability to release participants for operational constraints.
To an extent to overcome above constraints and restrictions for contractual employees, Team
– Drilling HSE has provided “Onsite First aid Training Program” to the contractual personnel
through Civil Defence, Dibrugarh. Also, three-day First Aid Training Certificate Program
through St John Ambulance St. John Ambulance was arranged and trained 120 no of
contractual employees in 2017-18.
Earlier, a joint effort was made by Drilling-HSE section and L&D Department for approval of
the day long “Onsite First Training Program” by Civil Defence, Dibrugarh. The competent
authority has approved for 12 Nos of such training for the Financial year 2019-20, named as
“JIVAKA”, to be conducted on continuous basis for benefit of our company. However due to
COVID-19 pandemic situation we could not carried out the said program in Drilling Mines for
the FY 2020-2021.
2. Emergency Response Plan (ERP) & SOP’s
Team Drilling – HSE in pursuance to our company’s commitment of being a vibrant,

responsive, knowledge based competitive E&P company with global presence, revised |
prepared | compiled | documented the following ERP(s) in pursuance to regulation 102 of
OMR-2017
a. ERP for Blowout - Drilling Mine (revised)
b. ERP for Fire - Drilling Mine (revised)
c. SOP for BOP nipple up/down is prepared and awaiting for approval from S&E
3. Continuation of Full-fledged Annual Award ceremony for Best Near Miss
Team Drilling-HSE prepared the code of practice for NEAR MISS as part of “LEARNING
FROM EVENT” SYSTEM of Drilling Mine since 2018. The purpose of this code of practice is
to provide a board guideline to establish a uniform and standard NEAR MISS REPORTING,
INVESTIGATION AND AWARD SYSTEM in Drilling HSE office as well as Drilling & Workover
Installations as a proactive step for LEARNING FROM EVENT” SYSTEM for incident /
accident prevention.

The result was overwhelming for Drilling Services, total 23 executives & 05 Nos of employees
of Drilling Services were got nomination for second level evaluation of HOPE Award in the
year 2020-21 which includes 01 No individual award & 01 group award and its evaluation is
awaited from management.
5. Special Training of Contractual HSE officers:

Work permit system and Gas testing are the two best practical hazard identification and
mitigation system in Oil & gas mines which ensures a safe working environment. In order to
create awareness and improve the prevailing practice of Work permit and gas testing system,
in particular for the rigs managed by contractual services. . However due to COVID-19
pandemic situation we carried out the said program in online mode for 7 batches of Drilling
Mines for the FY 2020-2021.
The faculties were arranged from Chemical Department (Gas Testing) and S&E department
(Work Permit System). An evaluation test was also conducted for them at the end of the

PME is a statutory requirement for all employees working in mine. Operational constraint and
shortage of manpower, restricts release of employees and in turn hampers timely PME
process. In order to comply PME process for ensuring good health of employees, TEAM
DRILLING HSE facilitated and arranged for carrying out PME in a batch of 08 no’s with
representation from each section on daily basis starting in the month of December 2019. This
effort has been made possible due to the extensive support of Occupational Health Services
Team of OIL Medical in carrying out PME & timely release of employee by the various sections
of Drilling Services. The break of the PME for employees of drilling services is as below:

13.0 STRATEGIC INITIATIVE GROUP - DRILLING SERVICES (SIG-DS)

In the recent past the drilling activities in the MPA has been full of challenges due to
deeper depths, larger displacements, geologically challenging reservoirs with limited
sub-surface information. Moreover, the ever increasing administrative and social-
economic issues added by stringent statutory requirements has created hindrances in
desirable clearances and land acquisitions. Without subsiding theses micro and macro
level influences, augmentation of drilling meterage shall be a distant dream.
The only solution to such challenges is opting the innovative ways. We are all aware
that the technology and business are becoming inextricably interwoven and nobody
think anybody can talk meaningfully about one without talking about the other.
Drilling Services Department has always taken up the challenges by continual
incorporation of high end technologies and adoption of best drilling practices to
maximize the output. To carry forward this vision, a focused team named as Strategic
Initiative Group-Drilling Services (SIG-DS) has been constituted under one GM (D) to
work along with Strategic Initiative Office (SIO).
The following initiatives in this regard are to be noted.
1. Constitution of Multi-Disciplinary Feasibility Committee (MuDFeC) to
enhance release and issuance location advise forms.
2. Review, Reframe and Implement Casing Policy as Pilot Project (Project R2i)
to transform standard four casing policy to a flexible multi casing policy.
3. Hiring of Independent 8½"LWD (Logging While Drilling) for complex
directional wells to get real time geological information and geologically complex
well where wireline logging is not possible/uncertain.
4. Developing R&D activities in Drilling & Allied services for methodical and
structured studies of drilling activities and challenges to find out solutions.
5. Bhuban Mitra: Integrated Drilling Environment Management Services as an
integrated solutions for different environment challenges.
6. Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) as new technological induction.
7. Compact Wellhead as new technological induction.
8. Multilateral Drilling and Multilateral Completions as new technological
induction.
9. Introduction of SOBM as new technological induction along with Chemical
Department.
