Response: One of the major operation challenges in the E&P industries are stuck pipe incidents which usually lead to a considerable amount of lost time and associated costs. The increases in drilling activity, drilling in depleted and higher risk reservoirs leads to an increased risk of stuck pipe. As we can observe in this case for this NOC, the greatest impact is when the drilling performance is Non-Productive Time (NPT). We know that around 25% of the NPT is regarded to stuck pipe and this…
