Topic: Transocean Vs Schlumberger, Kca Deutag Vs Halliburton

BHA normally comprises of all the string ran in hole below the drill pipe while drilling and they could be made up of a drill bit, bit sub, near bit or string stabilizer(for directional control, gauging the hole size and help to stabilize string), float sub(contains flapper that ensures one way flow and useful for well control), drill collar(providing weight on bit), mud motor(using rotor-stator arrangement for directional control), rotary steerable motor(using activation pads for directional control), MWD tools (for inclination and depth(MD, TVD) measurement), LWD tool(contains radio active material and used for measuring the resistivity, density, neutron porosity, sonic etc) mainly for lithology and fluid content measurement, Gyro(used for depth and inclination measurement when magnetic interference is expected as conventional MWD give erroneous measurement when there is magnetic interference), hole opener assembly.e.t.c.

Keep it up guys.I love dis

I have been opportune to work in kca deutag T-209 rig and SchlumB drilling and measurement dept...Dat was wat aroused my questionin...knw of a BHA tools owned by schlumB..check out Tecon..de own oil well and drill also..Companies are becoming versatile..when I checked out d list of top drilling companies in d world, I came across Fugro, which also acquire geological data and shoot seismic..My guess is dat one day, Transocean will acquire SchlumB...LOL
Remember schlumB bought over smith, pathfinder, geoservice and baroid which were specialized companies
