Southeast Asia Water Well Case Study: Drilling in Volcanic Tuff and Basalt in Java and Sulawesi
Java-Sulawesi: 20 wells. PDC in tuff (6.2 m/hr); DTH in basalt lifts ROP 229% (0.7→2.3 m/hr). Dual-method cuts cost/m 45% & NPT 65%.

Water Well Drilling in Fractured Limestone: How to Prevent Lost Circulation Without Stopping the Bit
Jordan/Lebanon fractured limestone: 3 signals warn of loss zones 0.5–1.5m early. Targeted LCM + 30–40% pump/RPM cuts retain 89% ROP, slash NPT 91%, mud cost 77%.
