How to Improve Rote of Penetrotion in Field Operotions

A method has been developed to identify which factors are controlling rate of penetration (ROP) in a particular group of bit runs. The method uses foot-based mud logging data, geological information, and drill bit characteristics, to produce numerical correlations between ROP and applied drilling parameters or other attributes of drilling conditions. These correlations are then used to generate recommendations for maximizing ROP in drilling operations.
