The Gas Research Institute (GRI) has developed sets of region-specific drilling practices to help operators improve drilling efficiency by minimizing the operator`s time in learning curves. these drilling practices were developed form analyses of both the successful and unsuccessful practices and technologies used in specific areas. The intent is to lower drilling costs by allowing an operator or contractor to benefit from the successes and mistakes made by previous drillers in an area. GRI`s Successful Drilling Practices studies aim to improve the performance of the industry as a whole. The project has goals of identifying the most successful drilling practices and documentation them in enough detail to make them useful. GRI wants operators to be able to use the study results to actually plan their drilling projects. Organizations should also be able to the successful drilling practice results to benchmark their drilling performance. The paper describes successful drilling practices, the drilling study, cost savings, and practical applications.
