Anti-Collision
Planning and monitoring well trajectories to prevent intersection with existing wells.
Anti-Stall Tool
A downhole tool designed to reduce torque spikes and prevent drill string stalling.
Azimuth
The horizontal direction of the wellbore relative to north.
Anti-Collision Monitoring
Software-based real-time surveillance of well trajectories.
Automated Drilling
Use of control algorithms to automatically adjust drilling parameters.
Anti-Collision Event
A drilling event triggered by unsafe proximity to another well.
Anti-Collision Data Model
Structured representation of offset well geometry and uncertainty.
Bottomhole Assembly (BHA)
The lower portion of the drill string including the bit collars and measurement tools.
Bit Run
The operational period from when a bit is run in hole until it is pulled out.
Bit Wear
The degradation of cutting structures due to drilling conditions.
Blowout Preventer (BOP)
A critical safety system used to seal and control the well.
Connection
The process of adding a new joint of drill pipe to the drill string.
