Abstract Drilling operations organization and time optimization represent a heart of cost-effective management system. Non-productive time (NPT) with their influences concerning delay in project delivery together with extra cost generated to recover the situation, leads to reconsider the method of carrying out drilling operations in terms of application and tenders. In order to achieve the project goals and overcome the complications encountered during the execution stage; a selection of problems using modified Pareto principal then an optimization of operations execution time by means of PERT method proposed. Application of the proposed techniques leads to point-outs the real main problems, which must focus on and the obstacles facing the smooth running of operations. Moreover, a method was presented to evaluate and set goals based on results and specific references. The results offer a great add value for the future drilling projects.
