Evaluation of New Methods for Processing Drilling Data to Determine the Cause of Changes in Bit Performance

Drilling operations represent the major cost in finding and developing new petroleum reserves. Poor drilling performance when drilling deep shale and strong rocks, as evidenced by slow rate of penetration (ROP), has a significant detrimental impact on drilling costs. Also, it has been concluded that...
