IADC Daily Drilling Reports Powered by Garden Data

The IADC DDR Plus schema includes fields for crew and activity context that most operators leave blank. Garden data fills those fields with welfare signals the drilling report can carry forward. This post shows how the integration works and why it changes what the operator's office reads every morning.

The IADC Daily Drilling Report Plus schema was launched in 2018 to replace the flat-file DDR with a granular XML framework. The Drilling Contractor coverage of the DDR Plus launch described it as enabling granular digital data collection across drilling operations. The DDR Plus daily drilling report overhaul analysis detailed the standard framework for richer activity tracking, including fields for non-productive time causes.
