Drillers, drilling engineers, trainers and students
Worth noticing
The full-game outline includes critical speeds, stick-slip and whirl arising from the drill string.

Field notes

The page splits the experience into a five-minute Blitz and a fuller phone simulator. Blitz has separate host and player paths: a host can display a QR code and live race on a TV or projector, while players join with a game code. The full-game outline names bit profiles, blades and cutters; BHA components including MWDs, jars and motors; and logs for ROP, torque, gamma, caliper and vibration. Full access is not open yet; the form collects role and intended use.
