Step Two – Data Analysis
The second step is data collection, analysis and benchmarking. Historical data pertaining to the
project or well is collected from offset wells, if applicable, or similar type wells if offset data is not
available. This data may include, but is not limited to, days per 10,000 feet, cost, non-productive time
analysis, drilling fluid volumes consumed, drilling fluid volume lost to the formation, pore pressure
versus depth, non-productive time, cuttings volume per foot, cost of waste management, etc. The
data is analyzed to determine percentile rankings, benchmarks and possible bottlenecks and/or risks.
The type of data to collect and analyze will depend upon the expectations and conditions of the
operation. A list of commonly used parameters is included in Table 14 - 1.
