CiSoft Seminar
Mon, Apr 29, 2013 @ 12:00 PM - 01:30 PM
Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Robello Samuel, Halliburton fellow
Talk Title: Stretching the Space: Accelerating Drilling Innovation
Abstract: The recent years have witnessed the explosion of the number of horizontal wells that are being drilled around the world. The drilling of horizontal wells presents challenges for the operators, as well as for the well planners and petroleum engineers. The framework of questions to be addressed include ââ¬ÅWhat are the present challenges associated with drilling horizontal wells?ââ¬Â and ââ¬ÅWhat are the advancements in technologies needed to meet the challenges?ââ¬Â Although several challenges are inherently present, the presentation will particularly ponder the following primary drilling challenges: Drillstring integrity, Hydraulics management, Zonal isolation, Wellbore integrity, Well placement and Data Analytics.
Although the technology development has positively responded to the needs of horizontal drilling, its future advancement will include areas such as telemetry, sensors and data handling, and analytics.
Biography: Dr.Robello Samuel is a Halliburton Technology Fellow at Halliburton with over 25 years of industry experience. He started his career working on rigs as a field drilling engineer. An acknowledged lecturer in drilling engineering worldwide, he has served as an adjunct professor at the University of Houston and Texas Tech University for the past nine years. He has published more than 90 technical papers and four books. He is currently serving in several committees including education acredtion committee. Among his recent honor, Samuel has been named SPE Distinguished Lecturer for 2013-2014. His unique blend of skills as a field engineer, researcher, and professor helped him to author five drilling books including the forthcoming book ââ¬ËDrilling Engineering Optimizationââ¬â¢.
Robello earned his bachelorââ¬â¢s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Madurai and his masterââ¬â¢s degree in mechanical engineering from the College of Engineering, Guindy. He also earned his masterââ¬â¢s degree and doctorate in petroleum engineering from the University of Tulsa.
