A CONTROL SYSTEM THAT KNOWS WHAT’S IMPORTANT, WHEN IT MATTERS MOST

AUTODRILLER PRO CONTROL SYSTEM

Autodriller pro control system removes human variability and enhances drilling performance

Through sequenced collaboration between H&P drilling technologies, H&P can help reduce human variability and provide game changing drilling performance solutions with an advanced autodriller control system. Traditional autodriller systems require manual gain adjustments that can cause variable results. A related issue associated with gains that are either set too high manually, or with a semi-fixed gain system, can result in block velocity variability that negatively impacts rate of penetration (ROP), and in some cases bit life that results in additional trips with time, fuel, and emissions impacts.

H&P’S AUTODRILLER PRO SYSTEM PROVIDES STABLE DRILLING WITH DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE, REDEFINING THE VALUE DERIVED FROM AN AUTODRILLER SYSTEM

AUTODRILLER TECHNOLOGY COMPARISON

Overshoot Prevention vs Smooth Drilling

·       Automated gain settings

·       Controls block velocity with weight-on-bit (WOB)

·       High gain controller with fast and hard responses

·       Option to remove ROP Limit

·       Lower gain controller for smoother drilling and more consistent block velocity

·       Strong controller responses while not over-reacting to fluctuations in downhole conditions

·       Differential pressure can be used to control block velocity

ANALYSIS OF AUTODRILLER VARIABILITY

Variability of Parameters

Variability of autodriller parameters shows that though WOB and differential pressure responses are generally similar, ROP (directly associated with block velocity) is significantly less variable with Autodriller Pro.

REDUCE TIME TO TARGET

Observations at same depth interval

·       Block velocity (green) shows less variability with Autodriller Pro

·       Higher differential pressure was achieved with AutoDriller Pro as the system successfully switched between WOB and differential pressure while maintaining smoother block velocity

·       ROP limit is disabled on Autodriller Pro with ROP overshoot observed on 4 of 5 stands

MULTI-WELL CASE STUDY

Smoother Block Velocity leads to improved drilling performance

·       Average rotating ROP improved 21%, 31% in intermediate, lateral section respectively

·       Reduced drilling time by an average of 16.6 hours per well compared with standard autodriller systems

·       Total on-bottom time reduced by 17%

·       Opportunity to identify roadmap intervals with deviation measurements

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...
