 Introduction

According to the Opec report for the month of January 2020,

world production of Oil or Crude Oil as it is also known was at 120
mmbpd and 1144 mmcfgd.

Oil and Gas is a non-renewable resource.

The oil industry is divided into three (3) large areas: Exploration
and Production, Refining, Transportation, Distribution and
Marketing.

According to API (American Petroleum Institute) in a study carried

out in the(2020) more than 102 thousand wells have been drilled
in the world.

To drill an Oil or Gas well you need a Drilling Rig. The same
designed to work on land or sea (Onshore and Offshore)

Drilling Engineering if the responsible of planning, design and

execution of wells.
Well Planning Engineering Definition

Well planning engineering is a fundamental

discipline within the oil industry. Its main objective
is to design and plan the drilling of oil and gas
wells safely and efficiently.

Drilling and Workover Rig (Selection)
There are different drilling and workover Rig types whose
design and composition depend on various factors, I summarize
the most important ones:

•Geographic location of the Well.

•Climatic Environmental Factors of the Area.
•Depth and Pressure of the Reservoir.
•Geological Complexity.
•Fluids to be found in the Well.
•Casing depth and loading.
•Auxiliary services and energy that is necessary.
•Surface safety equipment to be used during drilling.
•Height of the mast and substructure.

One of those critical aspects to analyze is the load lifting

system, where the maximum axial load must be determined, the
selected drill must have the capacity to lift the intermediate
casing at its settling depth, where the point of greatest effort.

A properly designed and maintained drilling fluid performs several essential functions during well construction:

 Cleans the well by transporting the drilled cuttings to the surface, where they can be mechanically removed from the fluid before it is recirculated
to the bottom of the well.

 Balances or exceeds formation pressures in the well to minimize the risk of well control problems.

 Supports and stabilizes the wellbore walls until casing can be placed and cemented or open hole completion equipment can be installed.

 Prevents or minimizes damage to the producing formation(s). Cools and lubricates the drill string and the bit.

 Transmits hydraulic horsepower to the bit. Allows you to recover information about the producing formation(s) through cutting analysis, data
logging while drilling, and wireline logging.

 Conclusion

Well drilling engineering is a discipline within the petroleum industry that is responsible for the design and planning of drilling oil and
gas wells. This process is fundamental for the extraction of hydrocarbons, since it allows access to underground reserves and
extracting oil or gas safely and efficiently as well as being in harmony with the environment and the laws of the place where the work
is going to be carried out the project.

The use of man hours of a multidisciplinary group is required for the success of the activity, Geologists, geoscientists, reservoir
engineers, petrophysicists, drilling and completion engineers, engineers specializing in civil works, chemical engineers, in short a true
teamwork.

Using the Front-End Loading matrix is fundamental support for the economic and technical evaluation of the project and analyzing
whether it is viable in both aspects.

The rig selection to use as well as the well services companies’ selection be must make with time and study the investment and the
economic impact that this services would have in the project.

At the engineering level, drilling and completion simulations and calculations must be done respecting the FEL matrix.

Analysis of neighboring wells it's necessary do it during the time of conceptualization, let's remember that this analysis is fundamental
know the field and the problems possible that could in the project in study

The cost engineering plays the important paper in the design of the project for this motive this cost must always is updating us.
