Method of and system for drilling information management and resource planning

A method of managing a directional-drilling project, the method comprising:

• storing, on a database, drilling-project data;
• compiling, via the database, drilling-requirements data;
• transferring, to a drilling-management entity, the drilling-requirements data;
• synching the database to a third computer;
• transferring the drilling-project data from the third computer to a second computer;
• uploading, to the second computer, equipment information from the third computer;
• determining, via the second computer, calibration data, the calibration data comprising a difference between a magnetic azimuth and a grid azimuth;
• transferring the calibration data from the second computer to a first computer;
• executing, via the first computer, a drilling plan utilizing the drilling-project data;
• recording, via the second computer, parameters related to the directional-drilling project, the parameters comprising at least one of consumables used, equipment service time, a list of activities performed during a shift, a notification of equipment problems, and a notification of drilling problems;
• and
• utilizing the parameters to determine at least one of diagnostic information, borehole design assistance, drilling problem assistance, and equipment problem assistance.
