Market Assessment - Vibration Assisted Rotary Drilling (VARD) Tools and Technology

振动辅助旋转钻井（VARD）技术是在纽芬兰纪念大学的钻井技术实验室开发的，该技术提高了旋转钻井的机械钻速（ROP）。在实验室条件下和全尺寸现场试验期间进行的旋转钻井试验表明，根据所钻地层的类型和VARD工具配置，ROP增加了25%至300%。在NSERC I2I计划和纪念大学研究创新办公室的联合资助下，正在对VARD技术进行市场评估。这将评估市场对该技术的需求，并明确将该技术引入钻井市场的最佳方式。这将通过评估公共领域已有的二级数据、与行业技术专业人员和管理人员协商的初步研究以及对这些数据的全面市场综合来完成。

Vibration Assisted Rotary Drilling (VARD) technology was developed at the Drilling Technology Laboratory at Memorial University of Newfoundland which increases the Rate of Penetration (ROP) for rotary drilling. Rotary drilling trials conducted under laboratory conditions and during full-scale field trials have demonstrated increases in ROP ranging from 25% to 300%, depending on the type of formations drilled and the VARD tool configuration. Under combined funding the NSERC I2I program and the Memorial University Research Innovation Office, a Market Assessment for the VARD technology is being conducted. This will evaluate the market demand for the technology and clarify options for the best means to introduce the technology into the drilling market place. This will be done through evaluation of secondary data already available in the public domain, primary research involving consultation with industry technical professional and executives, and comprehensive market synthesis of these data.
