The configurable and consistent bit engagement enabled through H&P's FlexDrill software helped ensure optimal contact with the formation, resulting in a 61% average rate of penetration (ROP) improvement. Additionally, by reducing bit and BHA torsional and lateral vibration through the H&P Autodriller control system, fewer BHAs were required to drill the well.
Overall, H&P helped the operator reduce BHA change count by 9%, which meant one fewer BHA used in an area of especially hard drilling. They saw an 11-day improvement over the previous well, which equates to a 26% time savings.
