Sun Wen · Mechanical Research and Application · 2013
With the discovery of deepwater oil and gas resources,offshore oil drilling develops to the sea water depth of 500 meters gradually.Deepwater drilling is facing with various problems and challenges.With the development of drilling equipments,well control technology and drilling fluid system,some problems of deep water drilling have been solved.The operation principles,advantages,development situations domestics and overseas are analyzed aiming at the dual-gradient drilling technology,cutting re-injection technology and micro-flux control technology,which provides theoretical basis and guidance for the deep water oil exploration.
