    Hydraulic Parameters

    • The rate of penetration

    • Effective hole cleaning

    • Minimise the back pressure


    acting on the hole

    • Minimise the erosion and


    collapse of the hole

    • Prevent the bit from plugging

    The Drilling Programme

    • The three main challenges


    • Loss circulation
    • Stuck pipe
    • Drill string failure
    Lost Circulation

    • Loss of hydrostatic pressure


    • Additional mud costs
    • Stuck pipe problems
    Well Planning
    Stuck Pipe
    Differential Sticking

    • The pore pressure in a


    permeable formation is
    much less than the
    hydrostatic pressure of the
    mud column. Drill
    • This difference in pressure Collar
    Sticking
    holds the BHA against the Force
    side of the well bore.
    Hole Pack Off and Bridge
    Well Bore Geometry
