Autodriller®PRO Control SYSTEM


AN INDUSTRY-FIRST THAT ENABLES SMOOTH DRILLING USING DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE

H&P’s advanced drawworks control system smoothly controls block velocity while regulating inputs from differential pressure, torque and/or weight on bit (WOB). The Autodriller® Pro control system accomplishes an industry-first by seamlessly transferring to/from WOB and differential pressure, while maintaining smooth drilling that doesn’t require changing gain settings at the drillers console.

A CONTROL SYSTEM THAT KNOWS WHAT IS IMPORTANT, WHEN IT MATTERS MOST.

By design, this system automatically regulates to the parameter most in control at the time (differential pressure, weight on bit, and torque) in order to maintain smooth block velocity to improve consistent bit/rock engagement. Smooth block velocity results in less axial oscillations from surface, providing a higher rate of penetration (ROP) and improved bit and downhole tool reliability.


OUTCOMES

Compare the Performance

› Average Rotating ROP improved 21%, 31% in Int, lateral section respectively.

› Average time saved drilling while rotating 16.6 hours (~$30k/well).

› Total on bottom-time reduced by 17%.

Autodriller® Pro control system

Observations at the Same Depth interval

› Higher differential pressure maintained with the Autodriller® Pro control system—contributing to higher ROP.

› Payout stability observed with reduced variation.

› ROP limit is disabled on the Autodriller® Pro control system with ROP overshoot observed on 4 of 5 stands.

DRILLSCAN® SOFTWARE IDENTIFIES DRILLING DYSFUNCTION CAUSES IN COMPLEX, MULTILATERAL ERD WELL

Image
An operator in the North Sea faced a lower completion lock-up 800m above total depth (TD), followed by a stuck pipe event in an ERD multi-lateral well. In an initial effort to push the completion down to TD, all slack off weight and torque margin were used. Since no improvement was observed, the decision was made to pull-out. However, the string remained stuck and despite the rig efforts to free it, the lower completion had to be cut and left in hole. H&P’s DrillScan® technology team performed an in-depth post-analysis, reviewing all available data to identify what might have caused the lock-up event. The data provided was used to simulate the downhole conditions undergone by the completion with the DrillScan genuine stiff-string model. The results and conclusions pointed to string dysfunctions: suboptimal tripping and lubricating/ backreaming practices (BHA POOH) led to repeatedly exceeding the screens yield strength (lower completion RIH). H&P’s DrillScan software was a...
