| Daan Veeningen presented "Better Well Control Through Safe Drilling Margin Identification, Influx Analysis and Direct Bottomhole Pressure Control Method for Deepwater" at the Drilling and Completing Trouble Zones Conference in Galveston, TX on October 25, 2012. |
IntelliServ was awarded the 2012 World Oil Award in the category " Health, Safety, Environment / Sustainable Development Offshore" on October 18, 2012.
The IntelliServ system's capability to independently from surface measurements identify, analyze and control a wellbore influx was the basis of this recognition. Specifically, the IntelliServ system aids in identifying pore pressure, fracture gradient and safe drilling margin. Second, the independent measurement capability provides early kick detection with distinction from ballooning and improves the ability to analyze and control an influx – even with heterogeneous mud column – through the ‘direct measurement method’. Third, negative pressure tests can now be evaluated independently from surface measurements. Fourth, an influx can be identified and analyzed once it has passed the BOPs into the riser, with the effect of helping to decide between directing return flow to the mud-gas-separator or diverting flow overboard. Finally, during tripping operations that are associated with approximately 25% of all well control events, downhole data is now available to provide early kick detection.
Dennis Dunlap, VP - Sales and Marketing and Daan Veeningen, Director of Marketing were on hand to accept the award.

Apache Energy, Ltd. Increases Reservoir Exposure and Drilling Rates with IntelliServ Broadband Network
Apache Energy Ltd. in Western Australia wanted to increase reservoir exposure and increase drilling rates, while maintaining the ±1m true vertical depth (TVD) directional tolerances in the highly permeable sands. Apache decided to use Sperry for optimized drilling performance, accurate formation evaluation and precise wellbore placement by connecting the Sperry LWD system to the IntelliServ® Network from NOV. Through the InSite IXO interface, this wired pipe telemetry system provides two-way communication between downhole LWD sensors and the surface at speeds up to 57,000 bits per second - 10,000 times faster than current mud pulse telemetry rates.

Eon Ruhrgas maximizes benefit from technology introduction: 200% ROP increase and a 100% net-to-gross increase.
By using multiple strands of new technology, in a controlled, managed fashion, Eon Ruhrgas delivered rate of penetration (ROP) increases of 200% and, at the same time, increased net-to-gross by nearly 100%. The delivery of these new technologies will be reviewed along with the culture of learning and constant improvement fostered by the Eon Ruhrgas. The collaborative atmosphere led to an open environment where all the potential issues, risks, and hazards had been discussed and contingencies made to ensure that delivery would not be compromised.

“SWD [Seismic while drilling] services promise to help operators reduce risk and improve efficiency”, Mr Edwards (Baker Hughes product manager – LWD, acoustic and seismic) continued that, “for immediate access to the full memory content right after the measurement, a wired-pipe system appears to be an ideal solution. Baker Hughes has tested its SWD system with wired pipe to prove compatibility of the systems.”
