    Evaluation of Drilling Rig Selection

    Uploaded by

    This document summarizes a presentation about evaluating drilling rig performance characteristics. It discusses moving beyond traditional rig depth ratings to four alternate metrics: (1) what the rig can pull when stuck or running casing, (2) what it can pull when tripping near total depth, (3) how much pipe it can rack based on geometry, and (4) how much pipe it can rack based on weight. These metrics provide a more transparent assessment of a rig's capabilities than depth ratings alone. Considering these metrics could help operators and contractors better evaluate rigs for planned wells and potentially reduce drilling costs.
