Introduction of Drilling Efficiency & Rate (ROP)
Rate of Penetration (ROP) is one of the important factors influencing the drilling efficiency. Since cost recovery is an important bottom line in the drilling industry, optimizing ROP is essential to minimize the drilling operational cost and capital cost. How to improve ROP efficiently? Is there any cost-effective way?
In this article, we will talk about 10 commonly used ways in the drilling industry to help you improve your drilling efficiency & rate (ROP) successfully.
