 What are the duties of a drilling engineer?

Generally, most people assume that drilling engineers are there just to drill. Well, it is not. There are actually people who handle that literally.๐Ÿ˜‰
The role of drilling engineers can be both office-based, and site-based (sometimes referred to as well construction engineers).
Before the operation, a drilling engineer and the wells department (drilling department) is responsible for well planning/well prognosis in collaboration with other departments such as supply change and management, exploration and reservoir engineering.
Planning of the long lead items which usually take time to fabricate is also one of the crucial duties. In the later topics, we will go further into well planning and field development planning.
During the operation, a typical drilling engineer’s duty is to have a daily conference call with the rig (usually it happens in the early morning) followed by another meeting with the contractors. So drilling engineers usually do not get the privilege of 9-6. Depending on the situation they can get a 1 am ph call๐Ÿ˜Œ.**(Shout out to the rig personnels who grind 12 hrs shifts)**๐Ÿ˜Ž
There are two basic reports for a drilling engineer to pay attention.
1) Daily Drilling Report (DDR)
2) Daily Cost Report (DCR)
Your typical daily drilling report consists of the operation activities of previous 24 hours, HSE highlights, vessels & crew change activities and weather reports. Well, DCR, it is obviously a cost report ranging from different services and vessel costs to daily rig costs.
And there is a section in every drilling department, that is to monitor the operation, in real-time. Also from time to time, a drilling engineer may be assigned to visit the rig to organize and coordinate the activities onboard.
