AUGUST TECH TALK
Digital Well Construction with Mud Motor Applications
Abstract:
Understanding bottomhole assembly (BHA) tool behavior is critical for automating well construction. Mud motors, key BHA components, are widely used in steering mode or paired with rotary steerable systems (RSS) in power-only mode. Their unmatched downhole power reduces surface power demands, making operations more sustainable. This paper explores mud motor physics, including torque discontinuities within the BHA, power section performance, and flow fluctuation effects. These insights are integrated into a novel mechanical specific energy (MSE) calculation, enabling autonomous well construction. The approach underpins AI and machine learning (ML) algorithms for optimizing drilling operations with hydromechanical power generators.
Meeting with U.S. Ambassador to Côte d’Ivoire
Event: Meeting with U.S. Ambassador to Côte d’Ivoire
Date: July 28, 2025
On July 28, 2025, SPE Côte d’Ivoire President Houze, SPE Africa Region Director Riverson Oppong, and Section Chair Olivia Djibo met with U.S. Ambassador Jessica Davis and her team over coffee. The discussion focused on strengthening collaboration between the United States and Côte d’Ivoire in the energy sector, and on creating opportunities for American companies to engage more actively in the country’s oil, gas, and renewable energy landscape.
This meeting marks a positive step toward fostering international partnerships that can drive innovation, knowledge exchange, and sustainable development within Côte d’Ivoire’s energy industry
