GA Drilling 宣布已与巴西石油公司达成技术合作计划。此次合作将与巴西石油公司的研发和创新中心 Cenpes 合作，旨在通过开发下一代井下钻井系统来改善行业，从而大幅降低钻井成本和具有挑战性的钻井应用中的风险。
此次合作将巴西石油公司与 GA Drilling 的技术相结合，后者是一种井下锚定和驱动系统，将成为先进自动卷筒钻井系统的基石。此次合作旨在使深层和复杂的海上油井能够通过轻型修井船而不是更昂贵的半潜式或钻井船进行钻探，从而节省 30% 的建井成本。
GA Drilling 首席执行官兼联合创始人 Igor Kocis 表示：“总而言之，我们的钻井技术的优势在于更高的效率，从而降低成本、减少运营占用空间，并最终降低整体风险。”“与 Petrobras 和 Cenpes 合作使我们能够以闪电般的速度继续开发，利用他们最先进的测试基础设施和环境来推进我们在全球采用地热能源的使命。”
GA 钻井公司的新型系统显著提高了钻井效率，能够用卷绕式连续油管代替传统钻杆，从而最大限度地减少油管处理危险、起下钻时间和井控风险。新技术包括先进的钻井自动化和控制系统以及与地面的实时有线通信，可优化和推动井下岩面（而不是数千英尺以上的）的钻井过程。
GA Drilling has announced that it has entered into a technical cooperation programme with Petrobras. In cooperation with Cenpes, Petrobras’ research, development, and innovation centre, the partnership aims to improve the industry by bringing a next-generation downhole drilling system to fruition, significantly reducing well construction costs and risk in challenging drilling applications.
The partnership pairs Petrobras with GA Drilling’s technology, a downhole anchoring and drive system that will form the cornerstone of an advanced autonomous reeled drilling system. The collaboration aims to enable deep and complex offshore wells to be drilled from a light well intervention vessel rather than a more costly semi-sub or drill ship, saving 30% of well construction cost.
“Taken together, the benefits of our drilling technologies equal better efficiency, leading to lower costs, smaller operational footprint, and ultimately, lower risk overall,” said Igor Kocis, CEO and co-founder of GA Drilling. “Working with Petrobras and Cenpes enables us to continue development at lightning speed, utilising their state-of-the-art testing infrastructure and environments to advance our mission of global geothermal energy adoption.”
GA Drilling’s novel system significantly improves drilling efficiency and enables the replacement of conventional drill pipe with reeled continuous tubing, thus minimising pipe handling hazards, tripping times, and well control risk. The new technology includes sophisticated drilling automation and control systems and real-time wireline communications to the surface that optimises and drives the drilling process downhole at the rock face rather than many thousands of feet above.
