Description

Time savings and bit longevity are major challenges in coal-seam gas (CSG) unconventional fields onshore Queensland. Maximizing rate of penetration (ROP) on the basis of optimal drilling parameters was the key to tackling these issues. A formal process for optimizing performance was developed, with a focus on optimizing polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit design and drilling hydraulics and developing a drillers road map. As a result, ROP increased from 50 to 150 m/h. Time savings of more than 150 hours for the drilling campaign was achieved. 2021 Society of Petroleum Engineers. All rights reserved.
