... direct current (DC) top drive and DC drawworks with AC models and adding a compact driller's cabin equipped with built-in drives to power and control the top drive and drawworks, an upgrade can be performed during a rig move. Using this upgrade method, an older rig can be outfitted to interface with new...

... response performance. The One-click control method realized by preset parameters can reduce the driller's repeated operation and visual judgment. The tripping efficiency can be increased by 11.9%, reducing the driller's operation complexity and improving drilling safety. The application of phase-change...

... alone may not be sufficient to maintain safety and performance". The symbol depicted in Fig. 1 is that of competence. A definition of competence is being able to do the right thing, at the right time. The driller has multiple demands on his attention, often with competing drivers: safety...

.... Staircase of Change Due to the strong focus on precision solutions and risk avoidance, the oil and gas industry tends to be very conservative when integrating new technology. This is especially true for a drilling automation system where the driller is expected to entrust an external agent...

... Abstract The driller, or well execution engineer, as some call it, is now responsible for a bigger part of the overall drilling process as automation and mechanization on rigs increases and the market moves toward performance-based, as opposed to day-rate, contracts. More information must now...

...) and an operator on the rig floor to control the CRT's operation. Mechanical tools are more compact, do not require HPU's and place complete control of the tool and the casing running in the hands of the onsite driller. For this reason, a mechanical tool was selected for this string. This paper will cover...

... to steer the well in a desired direction, directional drillers downlink to the tool using a series of changes in mud flow via the mud pumps. When no deviation is required, most systems can be set into a neutral mode. Abstract As the depth and horizontal reach of oil and gas wells is extended further...

Whenever the driller (or an automated control system) makes changes to the surface drilling parameters this also changes the downhole vibration characteristics. Each blade of the bit can additionally induce torsional...

... Abstract An advanced rig control system that was provided to a major international land drilling contractor streamlines the ergonomic tasks that are routinely performed by a driller. The system employs joystick controls from a specially designed console with touch-screen displays that eliminate...
