Quantitative decision tools for system selection in environmentally friendly drilling
One of the petroleum industry's goals is to reduce the environmental impact during oil and gas drilling operations. To achieve this, a number of environmentally friendly drilling (EFD) technologies have been developed to varying degrees but few have been integrated into a field demonstrable drilling system compatible with ecologically sensitive areas. This paper proposes a technology evaluation method based on systems analysis that can be used for integrating current and new EFD technologies into an optimal EFD system. An optimisation scheme is suggested based on a combination of multi-attribute utility theory and exhaustively enumerating all possible technology combinations to provide a quantitative rationale and suggest the best set of systems for a given site. An application of the proposed approach is described by conducting a case study in Green Lake at McFaddin, TX. The main purpose of this case study is to test the proposed technology evaluation protocol in a real site and then to refine the protocol. This paper describes the results of the case study, which provided a more logical and comprehensive approach that maximised the economic and environmental goals of both the landowner and the oil company.
