Abstract

During the drilling activities carried out before the use of Petroleum and Geothermal Energy resources, daily fuel consumption occurs depending on the operational diversity of the mechanical components of different types of rigs in our country. In this study, a time-dependent financial analysis of the preferred operating procedure and fuel consumption during drilling operations was performed, both in engineering studies and in order to reach a predictable level in terms of cost, oil drilling operations were mentioned by drilling rig type today, and comparisons of mechanical evenings were made to provide an economically predictable earning environment for daily fuel consumption. As a result of the research and findings, Group Motors/Drawworks, Pump Motor and Generators were actively used during the idling of mechanical evenings, and the average daily diesel consumption of 23.61 lt/h, 45.8 lt/h and 33.3 lt/h was reached, respectively. Maneuver Opr. the average daily diesel consumption of 37.5 lt/h, 0 lt/h and 39.58 lt/h was reached based on the active use of Group Motors/Drawworks, Pump Motors and Generators during the operation. Drilling Opr. the average diesel consumption of 26.24 lt/h, 129 lt/h, 33.3 lt/h and 83 lt/h respectively was reached based on the active use of Group Motors/Drawworks, Pump Motor, Generators and Top Drive.
