Successful Drilling Practices Study: Extended Reach Drilling - South Pass Area.Final Report, June 1995-July 1996

摘要

This project aims to capture the benefit of every operator's drilling experienceand thereby, to present a guide to effective drilling operations. GRI wants to identify and document state-of-the-art drilling technology and practices for extended reach drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. In this study, we surveyed the industry, found organizations which were drilling effectively, and gleaned the best drilling practices from each of them. Based on this information, we developed a complete Drilling Operations Plan for an archetypal well, which we named 'Successful Extended Reach Well No. 1.'
