ACTIONABLE, REAL TIME DATA KEEPS DRILLING ON PLAN
APS is the only mid-sized provider to offer a comprehensive well drilling optimization solution: the industry-leading SureDrill™-Optimizer system. Optimizer combines drillstring modeling with real-time surface and downhole drilling data to optimize drilling parameters, maximizing ROP, extending bit runs and resulting in lower drilling costs. This system provides:
ROP increases up to 70% have been achieved on several wells. Optimizer identifies drilling dysfunctions early so the driller can take corrective action and avoid unplanned trips.
For wells drilled where there is little or no history, Optimizer quickly identifies optimum parameters, helping to avoid costly drilling dysfunctions that can lead to unplanned trips.
Drilling measurement and logging data is constantly being collected from various sensors, software and surface systems. The challenge is making large volumes of data accessible and digestible to allow for real-time collaboration and decision-making − at the rigsite or from an operations center thousands of miles away.
Optimizer aggregates modeling, downhole and surface data for real time predictive, iterative drilling optimization. The SureDrill Optimizer System consists of:
APS’s software that performs structural, directional and critical speed analysis for optimal bottomhole assembly (BHA) design. Analyzing the BHA data helps to set tool build rate limits and analyze failures in minutes.
Surface data is provided by the rig’s electronic data recorder (EDR) via wellsite information transfer standard (WITS) protocol that allows c ommunication and data sharing through a common data network for wellsite users.
