Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003917

The process of pulling the drill string out of the wellbore and then running it back in, typically to change the drill bit or perform other downhole operations. This operation involves disconnecting and stacking pipe stands on the rig floor, then reversing the process. A trip is a time-consuming but necessary part of drilling a well.
