Abstract
A prog analysis and execution system and method. The system includes a computer control system, an interface engine in communication with the computer control system, the interface engine being configured to receive prog information, and an action item development engine in communication with the control system, the action item development engine being configured to analyze received prog information and to determine corresponding action items. The system further includes a sensor engine in communication with the computer control system, the sensor engine being configured to receive input from at least one sensor for use in controlling a well drilling operation, and an operational equipment engine in communication with the computer control system, the operational equipment engine being configured to receive input from the computer control system and to control the well drilling operation in accordance with the determined action items in the prog.

22. A transferable well prog system, comprising:
-
operational instructions based on a plurality of parameters for at least one well; a logging system adapted to receive critical information indicative of a particular event for the at least one well within a particular geologic region; a database of events that constitute action items that require at least one procedure to be taken; wherein the well prog system from at least one well drilling operation is transferable to at least one other well. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A method for controlling a well drilling operation, comprising:
-
receiving a well prog; assessing the well and adjusting the well prog regarding one or more parameters relative to a previously drilled well; assessing the well prog to identify each action item; associating a response with each identified action item; storing the action items within the well prog; controlling a well drilling operation in accordance with the response associated with each identified action item; and updating the well prog for drilling a further well by adding to the well prog one or more additional events that arise during the well drilling operation. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)
