Successful Drilling Practices Study: Deepwater Exploration Drilling. FinalReport, May 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 deepwater exploration 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 'Deepwater Exploration Well No. 1.'
