November 11 is Veterans Day.  IADD joins a group of sponsors to offer free to veterans, breakfast, or lunch at Honor Café in Conroe.  If you would like to sponsor or volunteer, you can contribute on the website or contact us.  If you are a veteran, please come out and join us as we honor your service.

Please join us in honoring our vets this Veterans Day by donating to this special event.  This is the first year for HONOR UP! a nonprofit with the single focus to honor our veterans.  Your donation will help provide either breakfast or lunch to any veteran who attends, as well as door prizes, apparel and special appreciation.

Honor Cafe will use excess funds to aid and support veterans in need on an ongoing basis.

Drilling Efficiency Improvements must reduce cycle time and operational costs.  This expectation demands identification of all factors and challenges that influence drilling efficiency.  These considerations, categorized as Project Risks, Performance Limiters, and Drilling Dysfunctions (RLD), must be analyzed holistically, to facilitate development of cycle time reducing solutions.  As is evident from field performances and benchmarking, developed solutions continue to yield inconsistent results.  This is primarily due to the absence of appropriate definitions for the RLD factors.  Consequently - analysis, relationships, implications, and resulting effects of these factors on peak performance, are not clearly established. 

Contrary to current positions, Risks and Limiters are different elements, with dissimilar drivers and contributions to drilling efficiency.  This presentation will define, clarify, establish dependencies, and identify effects of RLD elements on peak performance.  Additionally, it will show how systematic and holistic project interpretations confirm differences between Risks and Limiters, leading to development of effective drilling systems and appropriate field execution practices.  This approach drives identification, analysis, and remediation of dysfunctions in planning and execution phases, thereby ensuring cycle time and operational cost reductions. Field cases, supporting these positions, analysis, and discussions, will also be presented.
