1.DAILY DRILLING REPORT SYSTEM (CDRS) introduction

The Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) will as a rule require ongoing activities to be reported on a daily basis (weekdays) to the drilling data base of the PSA, before 1200 noon. Reports shall be in accordance with the format described in this CDRS user's guide[1].

The CDRS is a EDP-system that covers information from wells drilled on the Norwegian continental shelf. All wells spudded after 1.4.84 is included in the database and the system consists of two parts:

- Data-entry part to be used by all operators

- Central database part to be used by the PSA

This manual covers necessary information related to the data-entry part:

- Program and report parts:Description of each part included in the drilling report and

legal values to be used (chapter 2 and 3).

- Transaction file: Layout of each part (chapter 4).

- Communication:How to transmit the transaction file to the PSA (chapter 5).

Note that the CDRS is based on the SI-system except for the casing and hole diameters which is given in inches.

2.DRILLING PROGRAM

Before a new well is spudded and every time there are changes in the previous drilling program, a new drilling program must be reported separately to PSA. In addition the CDRS drilling program part shall cover the following parts:

- PROGRAMpart I:Basic well data

- PROGRAMpart II:Estimated/planned well

- PROGRAMpart III:Prognozed zonation
