Reel-Well - Drilling and Well Concept

The concept is based on a new patented idea of well construction. The idea is to perform the drilling operation with a dual drill string and a downhole movable packer, which implies a re-arrangement of the drilling fluid hydraulics compared to conventiona l drilling. The method can utilise modern...
