Abstract
This extended abstract describes the use of a physics-based approach to well construction. First, physics-based drilling models and limit states are integrated in a quantitative risk analysis framework to help plan the well. Then, during drillng operations, a physics-based, energy approach is used to maximize penetration rates.
