Reliability and Life Management for Oil and Gas Drilling and Evaluation Service Providers

High tech oil and natural gas drilling service providers are continuously being required to drill deeper wells in harsh environments with complex trajectories. Lost time on rigs can cost the customers many $100K per day, making a lost or failed drilling assembly down hole unacceptable. This presentation will discuss the current Reliability program at Baker Hughes, which is focused on meeting these increasing requirements on drilling reliability.
