4. Types of Failure or Error

Rigsite for LWD Lesson 11
Types of Failure or Error
Three possible ways to introduce error
into the Time/Depth data:
Mechanical failure
Software failure
Human Error
4

5. Accurate Depth Monitoring

Rigsite for LWD Lesson 11
Accurate Depth Monitoring
Maintaining an accurate time/depth
dataset requires constant vigilance:
Vigilance catches depth errors at each
connection
Vigilance catches on/off bottom errors
before they cause bad data
Vigilance produces an accurate
time/depth dataset.
5

6. Time/Depth Datasets

Rigsite for LWD Lesson 11
Time/Depth Datasets
The time/depth dataset is the depth
versus time data for a run.
Entries in the time/depth dataset are
tagged with a T/D activity and on/off
bottom status.
The accuracy of all reported sensor
data depends on an accurate
time/depth dataset.

7. Time/Depth Dataset

Rigsite for LWD Lesson 11
Time/Depth Dataset

Rigsite for LWD Lesson 11
Logging Out of the Hole
To identify wipe section data, it must be
tagged with a unique T/D activity :
Set a new T/D activity in the depth monitor
Used until changed by the operator
Any named T/D activity must reflect
professional standards

19. Pipe Tally Sheet

Rigsite for LWD Lesson 11
Pipe Tally Sheet
The Driller’s pipe tally is the final
authority on well depth:
Copy the pipe joint lengths from the
driller's pipe tally to the LWD pipe tally
sheet
Use the tally sheet to keep a master
record of hole depth
An accurate time/depth
record is vital to the LWD job.

22. Sources of Depth Errors

Rigsite for LWD Lesson 11
Sources of Depth Errors
The most common causes of depth
error are:
Incorrect entry in tally sheet
Driller used pipe out of order
Not drilling to same spot on kelly
Depth sensor slipping
Depth calibration error
Inaccurate on/off bottom
22

23. Incorrect Entry in Tally Sheet

Rigsite for LWD Lesson 11
Incorrect Entry in Tally Sheet
When there is a difference between the
IDMS depth and the tally sheet:
First, check for errors in the tally sheet
Possible sources of error in the tally sheet
Incorrect addition
Transposed numbers
Entries out of order
23

24. Driller Used Pipe Out of Order

Rigsite for LWD Lesson 11
Driller Used Pipe Out of Order
When the driller picked up pipe in an
order different from the tally book:
The depth differences will even out after
two or three connections
Size of the depth difference depends on
difference in length between connections
Get the order used (if known) and make
the changes in the tally sheet

26. Inconsistent Kelly Down

Rigsite for LWD Lesson 11
Inconsistent Kelly Down
If the driller does not drill to the same
spot on the kelly each time:
Drilled depth does not equal the length of
the stand
IDMS depth does not match the tally book
Depth differences vary from stand to stand
Depth differences even out as drilling
continues

Distance 1 = standard kelly down (drills the full

Distance 2 drills more than the length of a stand
Distance 3 drills less than the length of a stand.

28. Depth Calibration Error

Rigsite for LWD Lesson 11
Depth Calibration Error
Calibration errors show up as a
consistent gain or loss of depth:
Same error showing up on each stand is a
calibration error
A small error may require several stands
to become apparent
Correction for this error is to recalibrate
the sensor

30. On Bottom Early

Rigsite for LWD Lesson 11
On Bottom Early
IDMS on bottom before bit is actually
on bottom causes:
Spike in the ROP at beginning of a stand
Positive hole depth error at end of stand
30

31. On Bottom Early

Correct this error by deleting
the mislabeled section and
shifting up the data below.
6.11 ft. of T/D activity none
mislabeled as drilling
IDMS Apparent distance drilled
(actual + mislabeled
97.05 ft + 6.11 ft = 103.16 ft)
IDMS adds apparent distance
drilled to hole depth
(3041.51 ft + 103.16 ft = 3144.67 ft)
Drilled Hole
Forced on bottom at 3035.4 ft
(IDMS bit depth jumped to
3041.51 ft)
Actual on bottom (3041.51 ft)
Drilled new hole is
actual length of
stand (97.05 ft)
Actual new hole depth
(3041.51 + 97.05 = 3138.56 ft)
6.11 ft hole depth error

32. On Bottom Late

Rigsite for LWD Lesson 11
On Bottom Late
IDMS depth not on bottom when bit is
drilling:
Caused by
Less compression on pipe (less WOB)
Error in sensor reading (slipping)
Gap in the data when plotted unless
corrected
32

33. On Bottom Late

Correct this error by changing
the T/D activity of the
mislabeled section to drilling.
Depth drilled before IDMS
recognizes on bottom
(6.11 ft tagged T/D activity none)
Distance tagged as
drilling (97.05 ft - 6.11 ft =
90.94 ft)
Actual new hole depth
(3041.51 + 97.05 = 3138.56 ft)
Existing Drilled Hole
Actual on bottom (3041.51 ft)
Drilled Down Stand
length = 97.05 ft
IDMS sees 90.94 ft. drilling and
sets new hole depth at
(3041.51 + 90.94 = 3132.45)
Depth Error = - 6.11 ft

34. Crown Wheel Slipping

Rigsite for LWD Lesson 11
Crown Wheel Slipping
Crown wheel slipping causes erratic
differences between tally and INSITE
bit depth:
Most likely to slip during fast movement of
the drillstring
Hot weather can contribute to slipping
Wet conditions can contribute to slipping
Can cause inaccurate INSITE on bottom
tracking
