Abstract
Drilling is an expensive industry these days which consist of tools, services, rig and etc. so it's important for drilling engineers to optimum drilling parameters to reduce costs and avoid problems. In this paper an integrated drilling system with specific focus on BHA design which has been used to improve drilling performance in the world's largest offshore gas field will be discussed. The effect of this optimization was reduction of actual drilling time to more than half of the budget time.
