a-) Using the off-set well data given below determine the coefficients of Bourgoyne and
Young drilling model (i.e., a1, a2, ,a8) which would be applicable in this field.
b-) Determine the optimum weight on bit and rotating speed which would give you
minimum drilling cost for drilling at 14,000 ft depth. Present a table showing the
cost/ft at different weight on bit and rotary speed combination (see for Example Table 8
in Bourgoyne and Young, JPT August 1974).
