What is drilling in SAP XAP-IEP - Integrated Exploration and Production (SAP xIEP)?

SAP Term: drilling

• Component: XAP-IEP

• Component Name: Integrated Exploration and Production (SAP xIEP)

• Description: The act of boring a hole. During this process, you: Determine whether minerals are present in commercially-recoverable quantities Accomplish production of the minerals including drilling to inject fluids. There are three types of drilling: Exploratory - drilling to locate probable mineral deposits or to establish the nature of geological structures. Such wells may not be capable of production if minerals are discovered. Developmental - drilling to delineate the boundaries of a known mineral deposit to enhance the productive capacity of the producing mineral property. Directional - drilling that is deliberately made to depart significantly from the vertical.
