... for trajectory automation based on the field results. Until mid-2022 directional drillers sent manual downlinks to point-the-bit RSS from the surface to follow a planned trajectory and hit the target. These downlinks sent a steering ratio to achieve desired dogleg severity (DLS) and a desired toolface to turn...

..., allowing the drilling team to adapt actual drilling parameters to maximize ROP and clean-up time at TD. Additionally, use of the automated directional drilling system alleviated some of the pressure on remote directional drillers with respect to repetitive tasks; this allowed them to devote more time...

... directional driller. For example, the previous challenge – accounting for differences in right-hand torque required to maintain a consistent toolface in different formations – could be difficult for a software system to comprehend in a vacuum. This changes with the addition of more information...

... While some directional drillers perform this task at a high-level, others often fail to properly compensate for multiple variables including variations in rotary walk and build, motor yield variations, tortuosity risks, target uncertainty, and deflections. Even expert directional drillers rarely...

.... This technology, especially the continuous proportional steering approach to RSS ( Alrushud, et al, 2018 ), delivers high quality boreholes and extends horizontal reach. While RSS reduces the workload on the directional driller, it still requires manual interaction to adjust steering parameters. Accuracy...

The system has proven itself on multiple commercial jobs across North America with a new generation RSS. By exactly following the advisory...

... program in western Canada, directional operations were transitioned through a series of steps from a traditional model of two rigsite directional drillers and two rigsite measurement-while-drilling (MWD) engineers to an integrated and reduced crew model where all directional operations were directed from...

..., the Operator used a traditional directional drilling workflow. Directional drilling providers construct well plans meeting company policies and guidelines. Wellsite directional drillers from the service provider, working with well planners and geo-steering technicians, modified the well plans as needed within...

... Abstract Given the recent advances in rig site communications and motor steering advisor software, directional drilling operations can now be directed by a directional driller in a remote operations center rather than at the rig site. This allows better utilization of expertise across multiple...

... wellbores.
