Results

 The Upper Cretaceous Abiod Formation is composed of foraminiferal biomicrite limestones


and marls deposited in outer platform to basin environments located slightly below storm
wave base.

thickness and facies variations were especially caused by synsedimentary major fault activity
and locally by halokinetic movements.

Article 1

• Real time optimization of drilling process parameters during drilling operation for obtaining
maximum drilling rate as well as minimum drilling cost, to get high productivity and high MRR by
changing process parameters such as drilling diameters, cutting speed and feed rate.

• For also improve drilling performance like tool life, material removal rate.
Drilling process parameters
• Drill bit • Surface finishing
• Feeds rate • Tolerance of holes
• Spindle Speed • Torque
• Cutting speed • Force
• Depth of cut • Time
• Coolants • VibrationC
• Point angle

The data process technique is performed to the drilling data set


to achieve the general linear rate of penetration equation
constants. The determined equation constants are used in the
general equation to predict drilling rate of penetration as a
function of input drilling parameters.

Marine Methane Hydrate Exploitation Nankai Trough, Japan 

  1995, Japan Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, METI launched gas hydrate
exploitation program

1999 Test well in Nankai Trough, drilled by Japan National Oil Corp. and Japan
Petroleum Exploration (JAPEX) -- cored and logged a large accumulation of gas hydrate
• Moderately low temperatures. • Moderately high pressures

• Gas hydrate fills pores in sandstones from 211–270 m below seafloor


• Basic laboratory research, high-resolution seismic and additional coring in progress
• Program aims to develop technology for commercial production of methane from hydrate by 2016
• This study proposed production improvement strategies for future production tests.

•  These strategies included but not limited to the application of dual vertical wells, horizontal wells, and

combined depressurization and hot water injection methods. The authors also hope that this study can

provide a reference for the commercial production of the offshore methane hydrate resources in the Nankai

Trough in the near future.


• Types of logs Article 3
• Geophysical Logs 1- Records radioactivity of a formation
– Gamma Ray
2- Shales have high gamma radioactive response
– Resistivity
– Sonic 3- Gamma ray logs are most commonly used logs for sequence
stratigraphic analysis.
– Density
– Dip Meter 4- Gamma Rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves which
– Borehole Imaging  are emitted by atomic nuclei as a form of radiation.
5- Gamma ray log is measurement of natural radioactivity in
formation versus depth.

6- It measures the radiation emitting from naturally occurring .

7- It is also known as shale log.


8- GR log reflects shale or clay c
ontent.

9- Clean formations have low radioactivity level.
