Corva’s Real-Time Drilling Analytics Helps Reduce Vibrations and Improves Lateral Performance in the Vaca Muerta
Optimizing RSS Performance Through Data-Driven BHA Analysis
A major operator in Latin America needed to determine whether HWDP push-pipe was enhancing RSS performance or contributing to drilling inefficiencies.
Utilizing Corva, the team used real-time vibration monitoring, buckling analysis, and hydraulics modeling to evaluate BHA performance and identify opportunities to streamline operations across multiple hubs.
Key Results & Value Delivered
Corva’s real-time analytics provided the confidence to optimize BHA design while improving hydraulic efficiency and reducing vibration-related challenges:
- Reduced standpipe pressure, improving hydraulic efficiency
- Increased flow rates, supporting enhanced drilling performance
- Reduced RSS vibrations across lateral sections
- Standardized BHA design across four operational hubs
