Abstract

The rate of penetration has an important role in the success of a drilling operation, this is because if the rate of penetration is not optimum will have an impact on the cost incurred. Some factors that influence the rate of penetration are the weight on bit, rotation per minute and horsepower. Based on the analysis obtained WOB and RPM values are optimum so that optimization is done on horsepower. In this case study the well that will be analyzed is vertical well so that bit’s hydraulic optimization is performed using Bit Hydraulic Horse Power (BHHP) method by adjusting the nozzle size and circulation rate, this method will be optimum if BHHP / HPs ratio is 65%. Evaluation on trajectory 12 ¼ well “SGT-01” field “Tranusa", obtained bit’s hydraulics on the actual conditions at 2657.48 ft - 2723.10 ft depth interval obtained Bit Hydraulic Horse Power (BHHP) of 232.67 hp, Horse Power Surface (HPs) 499.82 hp, Horse Power per Square Inches (HSI) of 1.67 hp / in² and percentage (BHHP / HPs) of 46.55% (<65%) indicating less optimum then optimized hydraulic bit circulation rate optimized to 710 gpm with Horsepower Hydraulic Horse Power (HPH) of 936.47 hp, Horse Power per Square Inches (HSI) of 5.4 hp / in² and percentage (BHHP / HPs) of 65% (already optimum). The final result of the evaluation and optimization of bit hydraulics and the removal of cutting is predicted to increase ROP from 46 fph to 125.66 fph.
