Geo-Technical Order: Def

The document outlines the key components and purpose of a geo-technical order (GTO). A GTO serves as a blueprint for well execution, providing geological and technical guidance to drilling teams. It contains data on formations likely to be encountered, casing design, mud parameters, and drilling details. The GTO jointly prepared by geology, drilling, mud, and other service groups to guide the well drilling process from start to finish.

GEO-TECHNICAL ORDER: Def: The first step before spudding any well is well programming.

. An effective well programming before undertaking drilling of an exploratory well is must. This programming of the well which covers all geological and other technical data and serves as guide during the course of drilling is termed as geotechnical order. Blue print of well execution Contain data likely to be encountered during drilling & precautions to be taken. Guidance to Geologists, Drillers, Chemists & other Service Groups. Jointly prepared by Geology, Drilling, Mud services, Logging, Well Services. GTO is about: Geological Data Pore Pressure Prediction Casing Design Mud Program Depth vs Days Details about Well head, BOP, Draw works & mud pumps Salient Features of GTO: 1. General Data 2. Geological Data 3. Mud Parameters 4. Drilling Data 1. GENERAL DATA Company Name Well Number Location-Lat & Long Area & State Projected Depth Water depth/GL, KB Type of well (vertical/Inclined) Category Objective
