Drilling Optimization Through Advanced Analytics Using Historical and Real-Time Data

Now more than ever, SAS® Visual Analytics provides the tools you need to improve understanding of wells and operations – even if you’re not a statistician. And with an easy-to-use interface atop a robust framework of data management and advanced analytics solutions, engineers can ask and get answers to unanticipated questions on the fly. The paper shows how using advanced analytics can help operators not only to analyze the root cause of events, but also to predict critical events or failures. Such efforts will help to reduce nonproductive time and facilitate safer, more efficient operations. The paper also briefly describes the rich set of solutions that SAS offers to improve overall drilling efficiency.
