This MCP server provides specialized decision-support tools for oil and gas drilling operations. It allows AI agents to identify the optimal drill bit by analyzing formation type, compressive strength, and abrasiveness. Using the select_optimal_bit tool, agents can determine the best IADC category for a specific formation. Additionally, the estimate_performance_metrics tool predicts drilling speed and wear, while calculate_cost_analysis determines the financial efficiency via Cost-per-Foot metrics. For complex decisions, compare_bit_options provides a side-by-side comparison to identify the most cost-effective configuration.

Recommend a bit for a soft shale formation with a compressive strength of 40 MPa and low abrasiveness for maximum ROP.

The recommended bit is a PDC bit with IADC code M123, which is optimized for high ROP in soft formations.

What is the cost-per-foot if the bit costs $50,000, the rig rate is $20,000/hr, the ROP is 50 ft/hr, and the bit life is 20 hours?

The total drilling cost is $450,000 and the cost-per-foot is $450.

Compare a PDC bit (IADC M222) and a Roller Cone bit (IADC 537) for a hard granite formation.

The Roller Cone bit (IADC 537) is the winner due to its lower Cost-per-Foot in hard granite formations.

The `select_optimal_bit` tool evaluates the relationship between the formation's compressive strength and its type to recommend either a PDC bit for shearing or a Roller Cone bit for crushing.
