Abstract
Summary Dramatic developments have occurred during this decade in the applications of computer simulation in drilling. Our high-fidelity Engineering Simulator for Drilling (ESD) has the distinctive capability to permit an operator to simulate drilling in different geographic locations using actual drilling and geologic data for that environment. The Geology Drilling Log (GDL) is a data base used by the ESD that not only gives the ESD the flexibility described, but also allows us to describe in sufficient details the properties of the rocks through which we drill. Engineering models and other simulation activities pool information from a GDL during simulation. This paper discusses the technique used to build a GDL and illustrates the steps necessary to build a similar data base for other drilling simulators.
