3) Best practices

a) Preventionof Stuck Pipe during routine operations

   * Reaming & Back reaming guidelines

   * Tripping-Deviated Hole

   * Connection guidelines

   *Surveying –stuck pipe Avoidance while surveying

   *Drilling

   *Csaing & cementing

   *Logging

   * Coring

   *Well controlstuck pipe is secondary to well control

   *Lost circulation 

   * Air / Foam Drilling

   *Drilling with Coiled Tubing

           b) Prevention Drill string failure-a cause of stuck pipe
