drilling

drilling is a skill for Claude Code from kucherenko/petropowers. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,369 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for software that supports oil and gas well drilling, from planning through live monitoring and later analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps with well trajectories, casing and drilling-fluid planning, monitoring weight on bit and other readings, detecting kicks, and reviewing drilling performance.
Why use it?
It gives an assistant a defined process for interpreting drilling measurements and responding to risks such as pressure changes, leaks, or stuck equipment.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

drilling scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Skill: Drilling Pipeline

Guide AI agents through well drilling operations and monitoring.

Purpose

Support drilling engineers in well planning, real-time monitoring, and post-well analysis.

Roles

  • Drilling Engineer - Well design, casing program, drilling parameters
  • Mud Engineer - Drilling fluids, hydraulics, wellbore stability
  • Well Planner - Trajectory design, anti-collision, target intercept
  • Rig Supervisor - Real-time operations, safety, equipment

Data Types

Data Source Frequency
WOB, RPM, Torque MWD/Surface Real-time (1 Hz)
Mud weight, viscosity Mud logging Periodic
Flow rate, pit volume Surface sensors Real-time (1 Hz)
Gamma ray, resistivity LWD Real-time
Pressure PWD (Pressure While Drilling) Real-time
Trajectory MWD Every stand (~30 m)

Workflow

Phase 1: Well Planning

  1. Define targets (from exploration)
  2. Design trajectory (3D wellpath)
  3. Design casing program (depths, sizes, grades)
  4. Select drilling fluids
  5. Identify hazards (pore pressure, fracture gradient, H2S)
  6. Optimize drilling parameters (ROP, hydraulics)

Phase 2: Real-Time Drilling

  1. Monitor drilling parameters
    • Weight on Bit (WOB)
    • RPM (Rotations Per Minute)
    • Torque
    • Rate of Penetration (ROP)
  2. Monitor mud returns
    • Flow rate
    • Mud weight
    • Cuttings analysis
  3. Monitor LWD data
    • Gamma ray
    • Resistivity
    • Pressure
  4. Detect anomalies
    • Kicks (influx of formation fluid)
    • Losses (mud lost to formation)
    • Stuck pipe indicators

Phase 3: Post-Well Analysis

  1. Compare actual vs. planned
  2. Document lessons learned
  3. Update drilling database
  4. Optimize future wells

Key Parameters

Parameter Typical Range Alert Threshold
WOB 10-80 klbs >120% of planned
Torque 5-50 kft-lbs >110% of planned
RPM 60-180 rpm Varies
ROP 50-500 ft/hr Depends on formation
Mud weight 8-20 ppg >0.5 ppg change
Flow in/out 200-1000 gpm Not equal = alert

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

drilling is a skill published in the GitHub repository kucherenko/petropowers (11 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 1,369 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
