Abstract
A method comprises drilling a borehole and capturing data during drilling of the borehole, wherein the data comprises at least one value of at least one operational parameter of the drilling. A specific energy formula is modified and used to determine at least one of an efficiency and a quality of drilling of a borehole. Modifying the specific energy formula is based on data captured during drilling of the borehole. The specific energy formula comprises at least one of a mechanical specific energy formula and a hydromechanical specific energy formula. An adjusted specific energy value for the drilling is calculated based on the modified specific energy formula. At least one of the efficiency and the quality of the drilling of the borehole is determined based on the adjusted specific energy value. Also disclosed is a system comprising a machine-readable medium having program code executing the method.
