Corva Delivers Efficiency Gains and Greater Drilling Predictability in Egypt

An operator in Egypt faced significant drilling obstacles, including erratic torque and vibrations that caused lateral and stick-slip issues. Wellbore instability led to partial losses, gas kicks, and formation damage, while differential sticking from pressurized zones disrupted mud flow, creating further delays and risks. These challenges demanded a comprehensive solution to improve drilling efficiency and operational predictability.

By leveraging the Corva Platform and i-Trak™, the team implemented advanced solutions to mitigate dysfunction, optimize torque and drag, and safeguard boundary conditions. Automated monitoring and real-time adjustments minimized vibrations, enhanced ROP, and reduced reaming times, significantly improving operational stability. These efforts saved 4.3 days, cut costs by $350K, and delivered a 17% increase in rotary ROP.
