Drilling bit optimization is one of the key concepts in drilling engineering. It is considered as one of the economical factors in an overall well budget. Computers are strictly used as decision-making systems in the optimization calculations. Formation parameters are easily processed according to drilling bit selection criteria by the help of computer programs. Although the computer program is an interface by which the user makes the computer do some jobs, the database is another important part of this decision-making systems. Data is stored and can be modified in the database. Also, necessary calculations can be accomplished by the database so that results of these calculations and data can be reached by the computer programs. In this study, a database holding field data is designed and a computer program calculating necessary parameters and related excel file holding output are prepared. Although mostly lowest cost per foot is preferred and there isn't an absolute method for choosing optimum drill bit, this design can be helpful in the selection period.

Real-time-optimization of drilling parameters during drilling operations
Eren, Tuna; Özbayoğlu, Mehmet Evren; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2010)
Real-time optimization of drilling parameters during drilling operations aims to optimize weight on bit, bit rotation speed for obtaining maximum drilling rate as well as minimizing the drilling cost. The process is considered to be formation specific. A statistical method such as multiple linear regression technique has been used for the drilling optimization. An extensive literature survey on drilling optimization was conducted for this research study. A model is developed for this purpose using actual fi...
Trajectory estimation in directional drilling using bottom hole assembly(bha) analysis
Doğay, Serkan; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2007)
The aim of this study is to combine the basic concepts of mechanics on drill string which are related to directional drilling, thus finding a less complicated and more economical way for drilling directional wells. Slick BHA, which has no stabilizers attached and single stabilizer BHA are analyzed through previously derived formulas gathered from the literature that are rearranged for this study. An actual directional well is redrilled theoretically with a slick BHA and a computer program is assembled for c...
Preliminary estimation of rock mass strength using diamond bit drilling operational parameters
BASARIR, H.; Karpuz, Celal (2016-03-03)
In many mining engineering applications such as prospecting, development, production and grouting, diamond bit drilling is widely used due to high penetration rate, core recovery and its ability to drill with less deviation. It has been well known that the operational parameters of diamond bit drilling are closely related with rock mass strength properties. One of the most widely discussed subjects in drilling is the possibility of using diamond drill bit operational parameters for preliminary estimation of...
A Performance analysis of different types of liquid lubricants in weighted and unweighted water based drilling fluid by differential sticking tester parallel with lubricity tester
Anadut, Mehmet Uğur; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2015)
Differential sticking is among the most important factor that could affect the well cost and the drilling efficiency. It occurs at the presence of overbalance pressure between mud column of the well and permeable formation. In this circumstance, the differential pressure acting on a drill string makes the drill string to stick on the well bore. Especially in directional and extended-reach wells drilling, high torque, drag and differential sticking become increasingly important issues compared to the vertica...
Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of Pipe Eccentricity Effect on Flow Characteristics of Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids
SORGUN, MEHMET (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01)
The prediction of accurate drilling fluids behavior inside an annulus is especially important in drilling engineering during hydraulic program design. The flow characteristics of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids drastically change in the annuli when the inner pipe is eccentric. In this study, the fluid flow inside concentric, partially eccentric, and fully eccentric annuli are modeled using computational fluid dynamics. Computational fluid dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the effect of pi...
