Introduction to Reporting
From data input to drilling monitoring & optimisation
The Daily Drilling Report application is used by drilling departments to communicate essential daily data from the operational site to the office.
The creation and transmission of the daily drilling report has evolved with communication technology, from radio, to telephone, telex, fax, now internet. The report was hand-written for many years. Typewriters were then installed on rigs, and eventually replaced with personal computers. Clean and organised looking reports were then produced using spreadsheets or word processors.
The idea of storing the data in a computer database was quickly achieved. Easily retrievable historical performance data has a great value. Lessons are not lost and performance can be benchmarked to remain competitive. Drilling engineers can conduct careful analysis during and post well operations to understand the statistics and trends in their drilling performance.
Databases were developed to enable well data to be stored and retrieved easily. Early versions of this were too cumbersome and virtually impossible to use without serious computer expertise. There was a need to develop a system that helped rig site personnel by reducing the data entry time and assist the onshore team by making retrieval and analysis simple.
In addition to the primary function of preparing and transmitting reports, data is stored in databases; and these databases are drilling departments’ asset.
DDR One achieves this. DDR-One does the job of producing a morning report day in day out, simply and reliably. The link to DSP-One also allows engineers to simulate, optimise and plan ahead.
