Jorge Morales Pedraza

According to petrowiki.spe.org and onepetro.org, there are several challenges in the field of detection while drilling that need urgent solutions:

Pipe Sticking: This is a common problem where the drill pipe gets stuck in the wellbore.

Loss of Circulation: This refers to the loss of drilling fluid to the formation.

Hole Deviation: This is when the drill hole does not go in the planned direction.

Drillpipe Failures: These can include twistoff, parting, collapse and burst, and fatigue.

Borehole Instability: This can be caused by various factors, including mechanical rock-failure mechanisms and shale instability.

Mud Contamination: This occurs when the drilling mud gets contaminated with other substances.

Producing Formation Damage: This refers to damage to the formation that is being drilled.

Hole Cleaning: This is the process of removing drill cuttings from the hole.

Hydrogen-Sulfide-Bearing Zones and Shallow Gas: These can present significant challenges during drilling.

Equipment and Personnel-Related Problems: These can include issues with the drilling equipment or problems related to the drilling crew.

In addition to these, there are also challenges in the development of real-time software for the detection of potential drilling problems. For example, there are proposals for hybrid solutions (modeling + machine learning) to tackle the identification of complex problems such as false kicks, stuck pipes in salt drilling, and circulation loss prediction. These are some of the urgent problems that need to be addressed in the field of detection while drilling.
