Abstract
Air Hammer Drilling is an efficient method to drill through surface hard rock especially when sufficient Weight on Bit (WOB) is a problem. Substantial cost savings (more than Rs. 10 Crores) resulted from Air Drilling application as compared with Conventional Drilling in offset wells due to higher rates of penetration on wells Nohta#1, Nohta#2 & Palaita#1 in Vindhyan Field of Frontier Basin.
