Volume 63 No. 4

THE ISSUE
On March 27, President Trump signed S 3548, the
Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security
Drilling
(CARES) Act, to mitigate economic ramifications
Innovations
of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a question and
answer format, AOGR teams with petroleum
economist Karr Ingham to get a better sense of
the situation. On the new technology front, past
experiences in both onshore and offshore drilling
projects echo the lesson that wells tend to yield
poor value if wellbore quality is not up to
standards. As producers increasingly focus on
constructing completion-ready wellbores, April's cover story looks at how
some companies are deploying rotary steerable systems to drill better inzone boreholes even as they slash drilling times. From there, the Drilling
Innovations reports continue with a look at bottom-hole assembly
innovations, including new mud motor and RSS systems that are driving
efficiency by achieving new synergies. The issue's special reports open with
Industry Breakthroughs, which examine a new operator-developed
technology that relies on pressure monitoring to illuminate frac cluster
efficiency. Association news includes Official Issues Updates for the Texas
Alliance, KIOGA and TOGA, and coverage of the OOGA, IOGA and
LOGA conventions. Cover image courtesy of Gyrodata. Issue photography
