Our Mission
Drilling Daily is an independent online publication dedicated to delivering practical, field-tested knowledge to oil and gas professionals. We cover drilling operations, permitting and regulatory compliance, oilfield equipment and technology, well economics, and mineral rights.
Our content is written for the people who actually do the work — operators, drilling engineers, landmen, pumpers, and the consultants who support them. We skip the corporate fluff and focus on actionable intelligence you can use on location, in the office, or at the negotiating table.
What We Cover
- Drilling Operations — Mud systems, casing design, completions, wellbore stability, and day-to-day operational best practices.
- Permits & Regulations — State permitting processes, SPCC plans, H2S safety, plugging and abandonment requirements, and environmental compliance.
- Equipment & Technology — SCADA systems, artificial lift methods, tank battery automation, chemical injection, and emerging oilfield technology.
- Well Economics — Decline curve analysis, lease operating expenses, AFE planning, workover economics, and production optimization.
- Mineral Rights & Leases — Title research, royalty calculations, lease negotiation, division orders, and pooling orders.
Our Approach
Every article we publish is built on real industry knowledge. We reference specific regulations by name, cite actual cost benchmarks, and include the kind of practical detail that only comes from experience in the field. We believe the oil and gas industry deserves better than recycled press releases and generic overviews.
Drilling Daily is independently operated. We are not affiliated with any operator, service company, or equipment manufacturer. Our editorial decisions are driven by what's useful to our readers, not by advertising relationships.
