Drilling to the limit: Operators Group for Data Quality aims to create common specifications

摘要

THE NEW NORMAL OF LOWER OIL prices has led to a simple conclusion - drilling costs must be lowered in order for many projects to be economic. It is not enough to slash costs through supplier price reductions; operational costs must be systematically lowered and become much more predictable and repeatable. Many have spent considerable time and energy pursuing analysis and improvement, under the assumption that the measurements being used are sufficient. However, recent evidence demonstrates the majority of data provided by drilling and completions systems is neither complete nor of sufficient quality for these purposes.
