Abstract

See full text

A method for drilling offshore wells in deep water with greater safety and with fewer casing strings, maintaining a maximum diameter wellbore in the early stages of drilling to facilitate casing operations in and beyond deviated sections, and providing full well control while setting surface casing. This method utilizes a two-riser system for drilling in which the surface casing interval is run and set within a large diameter, light duty riser. Thereafter, drilling proceeds with a heavy duty riser.
