SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A MODE OF DRILLING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044240 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A MODE OF DRILLING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for surface steerable drilling. It involves monitoring the operating parameters of drilling rig equipment and bottom hole assembly (BHA) equipment, which control the drilling process. The method includes receiving current inputs related to the performance data of the equipment during drilling and determining if there is a significant change compared to previously received inputs. If the change exceeds a defined threshold and no modification to the operating parameters has occurred, a problem is identified in either the drilling rig equipment or BHA equipment. In such cases, a defined action is performed to address the problem.

  • The system and method monitor and control the operating parameters of drilling rig equipment and BHA equipment.
  • Performance data of the equipment is continuously received and compared to previously received data.
  • If there is a significant change in the data and no modification to the operating parameters has occurred, a problem is identified.
  • A defined action is performed to address the identified problem.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Oil and gas drilling operations
  • Geothermal drilling
  • Mining operations

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Early detection of problems in drilling rig equipment and BHA equipment
  • Improved efficiency and safety in drilling operations
  • Minimization of downtime and costly repairs

Benefits of this technology:

  • Real-time monitoring and control of drilling equipment
  • Early identification of equipment issues
  • Reduction in equipment failure and associated costs
  • Enhanced drilling efficiency and productivity


Original Abstract Submitted

a system and method for surface steerable drilling are provided. in one example, the method includes monitoring operating parameters for drilling rig equipment and bottom hole assembly (bha) equipment for a bha, where the operating parameters control the drilling rig equipment and bha equipment. the method includes receiving current inputs corresponding to performance data of the drilling rig equipment and bha equipment during a drilling operation and determining that an amount of change between the current inputs and corresponding previously received inputs exceeds a defined threshold. the method further includes determining whether a modification to the operating parameters has occurred that would result in the amount of change exceeding the defined threshold and identifying that a problem exists in at least one of the drilling rig equipment and ba equipment if no modification has occurred to the operating parameters. the method includes performing a defined action if a problem exists.
