Cost reduction for oil well construction by means of use of drilling rigs

Authors: V.A. Shmelev, A.I. Sukharkov (VolgogradNIPImorneft Branch of LUKOIL-Engineering LLC in Volgograd, RF, Volgograd)

Key words: well life cycle, complex of function of the drilling rig, drilling rig functional structure, structure-function and cost analysis.

The issues of optimal functional structure for drilling rigs used at the oil wells construction have been covered upon in the paper. One of the main principles for drilling equipment selection is minimization of production cost and reduction of wells construction time cycle. Determination of correlation between mining and geological conditions of oil wells drilling and technical and economic parameters of drilling rigs allows to optimize their use in accordance with the minimization criterion of production cost.
