AADE Lafayette Chapter members,

Greetings! I hope this message finds you in good spirits.

Our guest speaker this month will be William “Bill” Koederitz. He will discuss real-time optimization through the use of automated technology. One of the main objectives of this innovative technology is geared towards reducing drilling capital expenditures. Come join us for what is certain to be a very informative presentation in our ever-expanding domain of drilling.

In a world where the new cell phones can fly a remote controlled aircraft, a series of robots can manufacture a car in a few hours, a commercial pilot can program the flight plan into a tablet computer then sit back and relax from take-off until touch-down, and a rocket powered sky-crane can

autonomously lower a rover onto the surface of another planet, the drilling industry is asking the question, “Why can’t we do that?” Taking a quick look at any drilling recorder in real-time, the situation becomes a little bit more complex than flying an airplane. The downhole environment is difficult to quantify in real-time; therefore, drilling is

WORLD OIL & GAS NEWS

Death of skilled workers Imperils $100 Billion in projects

Bloomberg reports, after spending years searching for enough crude to pump, the U.S. oil and natural gas industry is now struggling to find and pay for enough skilled workers to tap the abundant supply in shale rock, putting $100 billion in planned petrochemical projects at risk.

Engineers and similar

professionals earned an average $183,000 to $285,000 in 2012 depending on their position and background, a 30 percent increase since 2009, reports NES Global Talent data show. Wages in energy and mining have grown at nine times the rate of all industries since 2008, and starting salaries for petroleum engineering graduates are about $98,000, up 9.7 percent since 2008, according to PayScale Inc.

The need is acute at the newest chemical, refining and export complexes that serve a shale-drilling renaissance that has given U.S. companies the competitive advantage of low gas prices. As shale projects and their infrastructure multiplies, the

ensuing war for talent will double labor costs by 2020 for skilled workers such as geoscientists and engineers, according to NES Global and Piper Morgan Associates.

“If you can spell ‘shale,’ you can get a job,” Ryan Lance, chief executive officer of ConocoPhillips, said March 5 at the IHS CERAWeek energy conference in Houston.

Wage costs that already have pushed up price tags for energy-related plants from Australia to Canada by as much as 20 percent are forecast to balloon more, putting $100 billion of U.S. projects at risk during the next decade, based on data compiled by Bloomberg.

better compared to driving a train from the caboose without any rails.

In June 2012, National Oilwell Varco® released its drilling supervisory and automation control software application called DrillShark™. Using demonstrated algorithms, the application adjusts the drilling parameters to find the “sweet spot” while correcting for formation variation. The app mimics a well-trained driller by constantly varying the bit weight and top drive speed while monitoring the rate of penetration and mechanical specific energy. As part of the exciting future of automated drill rig operation with NOV’s operating system NOVOS™, the DrillShark application uses intelligent automated controls to constantly pursue and maintain optimum

drilling parameters.Drilling automation in tandem

with the pre-well, post-well, and real-time support by a centralized team of drilling optimization engineers enables operators to lower total (AFE) costs. The control objectives are adjustable to accommodate the specific optimization goals of a well, rig, or field. With a high turnover rate and variable experience levels of rig personnel, operators can spend less time supervising each individual rig by using automated operating systems to reach their goals. The proven result is faster ROP, longer BHA life, and reduction in drilling time and costs.

Automated real-time drilling optimization is a new and exciting advancement in the petroleum industry. As with all technology, the aim of drilling automation is to increase safety and efficiency while reducing risk and saving money.

UNITED STATES OIL & GAS NEWS

Natural gas futures rally to 6-week high after u.s. supply data

LOGA reports, natural gas futures added to gains during U.S. morning hours on Thursday, hitting a six-week high after a report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration showed natural gas supplies fell more than expected last week.

On the New York Mercantile Exchange, natural gas futures for delivery in April traded at USD3.591 per million British thermal units during U.S. morning trade, up 3.5 percent on the day.

Prices rose by as much as 3.7 percent earlier in the session to hit a daily high of USD3.602 per million British thermal units.

The April contract traded at USD3.548 prior to the release of the U.S. Energy Information Administration report.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration said in its weekly report that natural gas storage in the U.S. in the week ended March 1 fell by 146 billion cubic feet, compared to expectations for a drop of 134 billion cubic feet.

Inventories fell by 92 billion cubic feet in the same week a year earlier, while the five-year average change for the week is a decline of 107 billion cubic feet.

Total U.S. natural gas storage stood at 2.083 trillion cubic feet as of last week. Stocks were 361 billion cubic feet less than last year at this time and 269 billion cubic feet above the five-year average of 1.814 trillion cubic feet for this time of year.

The report showed that in the East Region, stocks were 73 billion cubic feet above the five-year average, following net withdrawals of 77 billion cubic feet.

Stocks in the Producing Region were 123 billion cubic feet above the five-year average of 694 billion cubic feet after a net withdrawal of 58 billion cubic feet.

Meanwhile, sentiment on the heating fuel remained upbeat after weather forecasts released earlier continued to point to colder temperatures spreading across the eastern half of the U.S. over the next week.

Bullish speculators are betting on the cold weather boosting late-winter demand for the heating fuel.

The heating season from November through March is the peak demand period for U.S. gas consumption. Nearly 50 percent of all U.S. households use gas for heating.

QUOTE OF THE MONTH

“All successful people are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose."

– Brian Tracy

The American Association of Drilling Engineers (AADE) is a non-profit (IRS 501-6C), volunteer orga-nization founded in New Orleans in 1978 and is made up of an affiliation of independent chapters licensed and governed by a National Board.

The AADE Lafayette Chapter will begin accepting technology features submitted by AADE Lafayette Chapter members to appear in an upcoming issue of the Lafayette Driller newsletter.

Submissions should focus on new technology being used in today's oil and gas operations and include a write-up ready to publish that clearly explains the technology and how it is being used

in 350 words or less. A high-resolution image showcasing the

technology or tool may accompany a submission for consideration. Submissions should focus on technology, tools and applications, not sales.

A URL may be included if additional information is offered, but phone numbers and email addresses will not be printed.

Submissions will be reviewed by board and

committee members to ensure content is appropriate and accurate.

Please email your submissions to [email protected].

Thank you in advance for participating in this effort to help educate our members on the latest technology at work in our industry.
