STALLASSIST™ SOFTWARE


 DETECT, MITIGATE, AND RECOVER FROM DOWNHOLE STALLS

95% of operators experience motor/rotary steerable system (RSS) stalls downhole. Frequent stalls can result in premature bit and BHA failures that lead to unplanned trips, tools lost in hole, sidetracks or cement plugs – and in some cases plugging and abandoning a well if the mitigation efforts are unsuccessful. H&P StallAssist™ software was designed not only to detect downhole stalls, but to mitigate and help recover from them. By increasing bit and BHA reliability this technology can help decrease sidetracks or lost in hole occurrences and increase motor and bit longevity, translating into more footage drilled per BHA and reduced time to target.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

FEATURES

ADVANTAGES

OUTCOME

As pressure is reaching the stall rating, the system continually and simultaneously evaluates several factors; pressure, the speed in which the pressure is rising and motor specifications

Dynamic, real-time calculations prevent the motor from ever seeing the strain of pressure that is outside motor limitations

Detects and actions a stall much faster than a human can feasibly do, stopping significant wear from excessive force on elastomer and mechanical motor components

Within in just a couple of seconds of detection, StallAssist immediately and automatically executes the full sequence to react to a stall

Consistent and immediate action. Without StallAssist software, a driller would have to action each step in the process; See steps 1-7 above. The driller can now focus on the full spectrum of drilling operation activities

Helps eliminate delayed or inconsistent reactions that put additional strain on the motor, reducing premature BHA failure and associated replacement costs

Configured based on operators operational preferences and practices. As an example, pumps can be slowed or stopped after stall detection

Allows for quicker recovery of electrical and mechanical systems

Quickly resume operations, reducing downtime

Unlike other industry offering, StallAssist is a software-based system

No downhole tools are required

Avoid additional risk and cost associated with downhole tools

StallAssist software detects and mitigates stalls during both rotating and sliding activity

Not dependent on drilling method

Confidence throughout the drilling process

 

After 2 years of testing StallAssist™ software: No Stall Undetected. No False Detections.

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...
