All Drilling Programmes will contain the above information in some form. These sections
are covered in more detail below. Specialised wells could also contain other relevant data.
The contracting strategies for drilling a well or wells range from day-rate contracts
to turnkey contracts. The most common type of drilling contract is a day-rate
contract. In the case of the day-rate contract the operator prepares a detailed well
design and program of work for the drilling operation and the drilling contractor
simply provides the drilling rig and personnel to drill the well. The contractor is paid
a fixed sum of money for every day that he spends drilling the well. All consumable
items (e.g. drilling bits, cement), transport and support services are provided by the
operator.
In the case of the turnkey contract the drilling contractor designs the well, contracts
the transport and support services and purchases all of the consumables, and charges
the oil company a fixed sum of money for whole operation. The role of the operator
in the case of a turnkey contract is to specify the drilling targets, the evaluation
procedures and to establish the quality controls on the final well
A drilling rig is a device used to drill, case and cement water, oil and gas wells.
The correct procedure for selecting and sizing a drilling rig is as follows:
1. Design the well
2. Establish the various loads to be expected during drilling and testing and use the
highest. This point establishes the DEPTH RATING OF THE RIG.
3. Compare the rating of existing rigs with the design loads
4. Select the appropriate rig and its components.

Using data from Table below, a time-depth curve can be constructed. The
graph shown is the planned time curve. During drilling, actual drilling
times are plotted on the same graph to compare actual performance
against planned performance.
