Evolution of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) In Drilling Industry

✅ Friday night lights

✅ Tailgating Saturdays

✅ Armchair quarterbacking Sundays

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Now, imagine if your favorite football team had to play a championship game with the same gear they used a century ago.
The game would be drastically different—less safe, less efficient, and much more dangerous.

Similarly, the evolution of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the drilling industry has transformed its safety and effectiveness over the years. Just as football gear has advanced from simple leather helmets to sophisticated, high-tech armor, PPE has undergone significant changes to better protect our most valuable asset: our people.

In the high-stakes game of drilling operations, PPE can be considered our “prevent defense” against various risks and exposures.

From the protective helmets that guard against falling objects to the flame-resistant clothing that shields workers from intense heat, each piece of PPE plays a crucial role in minimizing injuries and helping ensure that every worker can stay in the game and make it home safely to their families.

So, let’s suit up, lace up your cleats (or steel-toed boots in our case) and Actively C.A.R.E. for ourselves and others through consistent use of PPE.

DRILLSCAN® SOFTWARE IDENTIFIES DRILLING DYSFUNCTION CAUSES IN COMPLEX, MULTILATERAL ERD WELL

Image
An operator in the North Sea faced a lower completion lock-up 800m above total depth (TD), followed by a stuck pipe event in an ERD multi-lateral well. In an initial effort to push the completion down to TD, all slack off weight and torque margin were used. Since no improvement was observed, the decision was made to pull-out. However, the string remained stuck and despite the rig efforts to free it, the lower completion had to be cut and left in hole. H&P’s DrillScan® technology team performed an in-depth post-analysis, reviewing all available data to identify what might have caused the lock-up event. The data provided was used to simulate the downhole conditions undergone by the completion with the DrillScan genuine stiff-string model. The results and conclusions pointed to string dysfunctions: suboptimal tripping and lubricating/ backreaming practices (BHA POOH) led to repeatedly exceeding the screens yield strength (lower completion RIH). H&P’s DrillScan software was a...
