Sophisticated drilling-analysis software can help drillers set and modify weight on bit (WOB), rev/min, and other drilling parameters, but achieving acceptance of these software-based recommendations by a driller is complicated. Additionally, acceptance of changes to drilling techniques and modified work flows by a driller on one test rig is insufficient. The challenge is to scale…

Intellicess, Inc., presented “An Open Source Data Aggregation Platform on a Rig,” at the IADC DEC Q3 Technology Forum In Houston, TX on September 25. Dr Pradeep Ashok, Intellicess President and CTO, presented on behalf of the company.

M. Behounek, B. Millican, B. Nelson, M. Wicks, E. Rintala, M. White, T. Thetford, P. Ashok, D. Ramos: “Change Management Challenges Deploying a Rig-Based Drilling Advisory System,” paper SPE-194184-MS, presented at SPE/IADC International Drilling Conference and Exhibition, 5-7 March, The Hague, Netherlands, 2019.

The system used for this paper consists of a Rig-based Drilling Advisory System (RDAS) where new advisory information is displayed in the driller’s cabin running real-time pattern recognition algorithms to detect drilling dysfunctions. When a drilling dysfunction is encountered, a change in drilling parameters is suggested. Additionally, drilling parameters from offset wells are made automatically available for the driller’s use on the drilling screen. Through this process, we are entrusting the field personnel with a slightly higher level of technical responsibility. The team iteratively improved the system using feedback from drillers who used the RDAS.

Significant progress has been made on physics-based torque-and-drag (T&D) models that can run either offline or in real time. Despite its numerous benefits, real-time T&D analysis is not prevalent because it requires merging real-time and contextual data of dissimilar frequency and quality, along with repeated calibration, the results of which are not easily accessible to…
