Record ROP and 20% Faster Connection Times Reduce Lost Time
Maximizing Performance in Interbedded Formations
In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), an operator struggled with interbedded formations, tool failures, and high non-productive time. Using Corva data analytics and Baker Hughes, the operator optimized surface drilling parameters, reduced invisible lost time, and benchmarked ROP performance against offset wells.
Key Results & Value Delivered
Corva’s real-time insights gave operators the visibility to optimize drilling dynamics and deliver record-setting well performance in challenging environments. By implementing the technologies of Corva and Baker Hughes, the operator saw:
- 20% reduction in weight-to-weight time versus plan
- 5% ROP improvement versus field record
- 15 hours saved compared to the nearest offset well
