The International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) is dedicated to enhancing the interests of oil and gas and geothermal drilling contractors worldwide. IADC's contract drilling members own most of the world's land and offshore drilling units and drill the vast majority of the wells that produce the planet's oil and gas. IADC's
Casing drilling, otherwise known as drilling with casing (DwC) or casing while drilling (CwD) is an alternative drilling technique to the conventional drilling method. Casing drilling involves the simultaneous drilling and casing of well with a (active-standard) casing string. It is mandatory to note that casing is the same grade and weight as in
Drilling Productivity Report (DPR), September 2020. The drilling process is increasingly managed usingmass production operations , such as pad drilling, cube drilling, and multilateral drilling, to achieve higher cost efficiency in both the physical and contractual management of heavy-duty and fully automated drilling rigs.
