BHA Run Summary

Daily Operations Report > Drillstrings Section

A BHA Run starts when a drillstring is run in the hole and it ends when the drillstring is pulled back through the drill floor. The BHA Run includes time to trip in hole and time to pull out of hole. The partial retrieval of a drillstring is called a Short Trip (for example, wiper trip)and is considered a part of the BHA Run.

The BHA Run Summary area contains a Detail Table. Drillstrings are displayed if they are run on the report day.

Note: Deleting a BHA Run will delete the run, assembly string, associated components, and all operations (Bit and BHA).
