Published purpose

This project comprises the use of the PhiDrillSim app and accessories to review a shut-in well in Grand Prairie, Alberta. The following steps will be taken: 1. Digitize all data from the drilling process and visit the site to capture more data 2. Simulate the drilling process from pre-drilling planning to installation of the final BHA run 3. Identify what went wrong in the drilling process based on safety and speed benchmarks 4. Review available solutions to predicting and preventing the events that led to stalling the drilling process 5. Implement the accepted solutions on PhiDrillSim and simulate the drilling operations to avoid the identified problems 6. Record success rate stats 7. Develop a final report of recommendations
