Analysis of Operational Results in CK Field (ROP Comparison)

The provided table and chart highlight the exceptional rate of penetration (ROP) improvements achieved by Zagros Drilling Company’s software in the CK-24 well, compared to the field’s previous best performer, CK-23, over a 1060-meter interval from 2358m to 3418m.

Table Insights: CK-24 achieved a drilling time of 216 hours with an average ROP of 4.91 m/hr, a remarkable 73.5% improvement over CK-23’s 180 hours and 2.83 m/hr. This optimization reflects a significant leap in efficiency, demonstrating the software’s ability to enhance drilling performance across a deeper section without additional equipment.

Chart Insights: The cumulative drilling time vs. depth plot visually confirms these gains, with the blue line (CK-24 Actual Drilling Time) descending more steeply than the green line (CK-23). This steeper trajectory for CK-24 across the 1060-meter interval underscores the software’s success in accelerating penetration rates, likely driven by real-time parameter adjustments and risk mitigation strategies like those for bit balling and vibration.

Overall, this operational project showcases our platform’s transformative impact, leveraging advanced analytics, machine learning, and scientific optimization to boost ROP by 73.5%, setting a new standard for drilling efficiency in the Cheshmeh Khush field.
