At its last meeting, the DCA Board decided to relaunch the currently Task Group 4 “Digitisation” in the second half of 2021 under the title “Data Collection & Logging”. During the pandemic period the progress with this task group was slower than anticipated and during this period, the DCA took a further review of what should be the goals of this task group. This task group will now be reformed and lead by Scott Stone under the new name “Data Acquisition and Logging” focusing on giving greater clarity on what drilling data should be acquired from equipment including guidelines on frequency and parameters of the logged information and how it can be analysed to further increase drilling productivity.
