Corva’s Predictive Drilling Delivers 20% Higher Lateral ROP, Setting a New Benchmark for Pad Performance
Validating AI Optimization on Every Foot of the Lateral
An operator in the Barnett Shale sought to improve lateral drilling performance while validating closed-loop AI drilling optimization. Corva's Predictive Drilling continuously optimized rotary speed and weight on bit using real-time rig data while Tool Joint Mitigation minimized differential pressure fluctuations. Together, these capabilities delivered stable drilling dynamics and a repeatable workflow that maximized lateral drilling performance.
Key Results & Value Delivered
The deployment established a new benchmark for pad performance, delivering:
- 20% higher lateral rotary ROP
- 1,654 ft/day average lateral drilling rate
- 143 ft/hr peak lateral drilling speed
- Elimination of 300+ psi pressure swings through Tool Joint Mitigation
Together, these improvements delivered faster, more stable, and more repeatable lateral execution.
