Abstract:
Currently in industry, real time drilling (RTD) is primarily used to improve efficiency and drive down costs. However, this is a secondary issue to hazards avoidance and well containment, which can be achieved by the correct use of the same data. It is considered that this technique is going to be widely used in future drilling activities since it could reduce drilling costs and minimise probability of encountering problems due to working with optimised parameters. This work is intended to identify all possible risk and respond immediately, carry out drilling safely and economically, real-time management and visualisation of drilling data and also secure monitoring of rig site operations. RTD can be used in newly drilling well, directional drilling and onshore and offshore. Real-time data not only can improve process safety but can also improve decision quality around issues such as management of change and risk management.
