Information Source
" Unless otherwise noted, all information in Files #1 to 5 is provided by the drilling contractor."
Precision
" Unless otherwise noted, allowances should be made to collect and store data to a precision of 2 decimal places."
Accuracy/Reliability
" The data user must, in all instances, be able to determine the accuracy/reliability of the data."
Measurements
" While it is recognized that the use of imperial measurements is still widespread in the well-drilling industry, the adoption of the "
metric system should be encouraged. It is expected that data will be provided to users in metric units.
