Johnny Ho-Chau PE 4323 Drilling and Completion II Fall 2013 Homework #1 1) A: The five types of data needed in order

er to write a good drilling program are: Bit record, mud recap, daily drilling report, drilling time, and bottom hole target. Bit record the bit record of an offset well can provide information on the type, size, depths of bits used in different formations. Mud recap the mud recap of an offset well can provide information on what type of mud was used and what treatments it required in different formation. Daily drilling report the daily report provides information on procedures and problems that offset well might have encounter. Drilling time drilling time information can help with scheduling and know expected performance. Bottom hole target the bottom hole target information from an offset wells can be used to have the general idea of pay zone depths. B: The basic philosophy of well planning or a drilling program is to minimize the total well cost, drill safely and with environment precaution and the drilled hole must be useable. 2) To determine whether a core sample contains oil or gas or water at the well site the test that would be used are fluorescence testing or Vythene (CHCl3) cut color test.
