Abstract
An ERD (extended-reach drilling) well is a very technologically complex system, and therefore its engineering simulation must include numerous variable parameters which can negatively affect the ultimate success of the drilling project. This paper gives a comparative analysis of Russian and foreign drilling tools and casing pipes suitable for drilling conditions of such wells, as well as simulation of optimal drilling parameters of the main ERD well completion stages using dedicated software (SW).

Materials and methods
This paper describes the experimental simulation of drilling ERD wells for Ø 244,5 mm production casing and Ø 168,3 mm liner
at a “NK “Rosneft” PJSC offshore field.

Keywords
