How to improve rate of penetration in field operations. M.J. Fear. SPE Drilling Completion, March 1999, 14 (1), 42--49.

A method is described that has been developed to identify which factors are controlling rate of penetration (ROP) in a particular group of bit runs. It uses foot-based mud logging data, geological information, and drill bit characteristics, to produce numerical correlations between ROP and applied drilling parameters or other attributes of drilling conditions. These correlations are then applied to generate recommendations for maximizing ROP in drilling operations. Both tabulated and graphical data are presented and discussed. 23 refs.
