Abstract

DC:What are some of the technologies under development now to meet the issues and challenges the drilling industry may face as it goes forward in terms of deeper wells, high pressure/high temperature wells? ORR:Helmerich & Payne has commitments to build 73 rigs on long-term contracts.Virtually all those rigs are directed at natural gas, and most of that is the unconventional gas plays.Operators first and foremost want a rig that is as safe as it can be and with reliable systems.Once you get those down as a foundation, they want the technology on those rigs to help leverage the technology that they employ from other service companies.It can be rotary steerable, new and improved bits, improved mud systems, but they want a rig that can help them leverage that technology as well. DC:What are the technologies the operators want as far as the rig is concerned?
