Drilling acronyms

Drilling acronyms

Drilling acronyms

(OP)
Hello everyone,

Anybody there with drilling background? Can anyone direct me where can I find those abbreviations that drillers used in their daily report? (i.e. R/U, SWIH ....etc)

Thanks for the help.

RE: Drilling acronyms

There is a book put out by the Desk & Derrick club called the D&D STANDARD OIL ABBREVIATOR.  There's one for sell on e-bay

RE: Drilling acronyms

It is not the best in the world but the online glossary on the Schlumberger website contains some useful stuff.

RE: Drilling acronyms

I think Goma is looking for common abbreviations used on IADC or morning workover and drilling reports. There are no rules or IADC accepted acronims that I know of. It is just going to take time.

R/U - Rig up
RIH/TIH - Run in hole/Trip in Hole
PU - pick up
MU - make up
NU - Nipple up (ie BOPs)
POOH/TOOH - pull out of hole/trip out of hole
PJSM - Pre job safety meeting
W/L - Wireline
Halco - Halliburton
SLB - Schlumberger

List goes on and on and each persons abbreviations may be slightly different. Good luck.
