A suitably qualified drilling expert can build a chronology from daily drilling reports, drilling parameters, mud logs, well-control records, directional data, equipment logs, service-company records, communications, and incident reports. Changes in rate of penetration, pressure, flow, torque, drag, drilling-fluid properties, or wellbore conditions can then be compared with operational decisions to determine where competing accounts of the event diverge.
A suitably qualified drilling expert may compare the planned and actual well paths, inclination and azimuth data, bottom-hole assemblies, measurement-while-drilling records, steering decisions, formation information, and drilling performance along the trajectory. Horizontal drilling is a form of directional drilling in which the wellbore is deliberately steered so that a lateral section follows the target interval rather than remaining vertical.
Casing and cement form important parts of well construction. A suitably qualified drilling expert can examine casing design and running records, cement volumes, circulation information, pressure tests, cementing reports, and the sequence in which casing strings were installed. OSHA describes casing as pipe used to line the wellbore and notes that casing operations occur during drilling, with circulating and cementing performed after the casing is landed.
Offshore matters may involve drilling-program and well-control records together with blowout-preventer data, subsea equipment records, riser information, real-time monitoring, vessel or rig records, and offshore inspection documentation. Deepwater operations can introduce additional technical issues because well-control equipment may be located on the seafloor and, depending on the drilling system and phase of operations, the well may be drilled through a long marine-riser system.
