You'd need to trip out of hole for it, but that isn't really a problem. I know the video acts like tripping is the end of the world, but it's a standard day to day practice offshore. Everytime something breaks or dies…
And so when you go to cement your casing in place, you, what?, cement your brand new indestructible quaise 'drill bit' in the hole? Sorry, I think not. Neat idea, but there's big holes in that in practice.
We do use conventional drilling for geothermal! We just have to be more selective with the location to ensure that there is heat nearer the surface. They're right, if you drill deep enough, it's hot everywhere. Even in…
How dare you Scumberger! (Me sitting in a scumberger wireline unit rn) You're completely right doodlebug, our MD is around 30,000 with a TVD of about 26,000' (ballparking here so i'm not violating any contracts). I also…
You had me in the first half! Thanks a12k
Main reason it wouldn't work is that once a bit is lost in the bottom of the hole, that portion of hole is done, el fin. These bits are diamond impregnated PDC bits and you cannot drill or mill through them. Once you've…
I'm a geologist. I work on well sites for a living. My biggest concerns about what have been talked about in the video are with regards to rock removal, and hole stability. But those are always my concerns. The oil and…
