H&P GLOBAL GEOMAGNETIC MODELS

Effortless survey management solutions by the proven industry leader

Reducing Uncertainty in Wellbore Placement

With directional drilling in today’s market, well placement is of ever-increasing importance in the process of successfully drilling a well. Well placement by Measurements While Drilling (MWD) uses the direction of the Earth’s gravity and magnetic field as a natural reference frame. For years, the industry standard used low resolution global models for this reference, such as the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF-13). These models only captured a fraction of the true complexity of the Earth’s magnetic field, leading to inaccurate MWD corrections and consequently large uncertainties in the wellbore’s final placement.

Large uncertainties in the final wellbore placement lead to many issues in the life cycle of the well. Improper placement can lead to a loss in reservoir production or collision issues with adjacent wells. To help reduce these uncertainties and help alleviate the issues posed by them, H&P recognized the need for higher resolution models of the Earth’s magnetic field. Allowing for more accurate MWD corrections while drilling the well. To accomplish this, H&P offers a full suite of services to reduce this uncertainty so every customer has an option that meets their needs. One of those is highly accurate global geomagnetic reference models.

Global Geomagnetic Reference Models

H&P recognized the need for more accurate global geomagnetic reference models versus the industry standard. We also realize not every client has the same needs or budget. With that in mind, we produce the MagVAR Standard Definition Global Geomagnetic Model (MVSD) and the MagVAR High Definition Global Geomagnetic Model (MVHD). The MVSD is a spherical harmonic model of the Earth’s main field built from global magnetic data collected via satellites. H&P’s modeling captures the Earth’s main field and crustal anomalies as small as 300 km in size, making the MVSD a significant improvement over the industry standard IGRF model. The MVSD meets the conditions of the MWD tool code. The MVHD is an ellipsoidal harmonic model built from global satellite magnetic data plus near-surface magnetic data sets. This allows the MVHD to capture the Earth’s main field and crustal anomalies down to a resolution of 40 km. The increased resolution of the MVHD is a great solution compared to other models in the industry. The MVHD will satisfy the conditions of the MWD+HRGM tool code. The MVSD and MVHD models are updated annually to capture the secular changes to the magnetic field and implement modeling improvements.

REDUCE THE ELLIPSES OF UNCERTAINTY

By integrating the MVSD or MVHD models into your workflow you will reduce the Ellipses of Uncertainty (EOU). Our software now has the ability to use the MWD or MWD+HRGM tool codes when planning and drilling a well. Benefits include increased separation factors when anticollision planning, reservoir production and safety.

EASE OF USE

H&P delivers each model with our global calculator. A user-friendly interface used to extract single or multiple points along a well path file from either MVSD or MVHD at your chosen date. H&P can also make the models available as a plug-in for your well planning or directional drilling software of choice, making this a seamless integration to your workflow.

PROOF IN THE FLIGHT LINE

At H&P, we compare our MVSD and MVHD models to proprietary high-resolution aeromagnetic surveys. By doing this, we provide proof in our modeling. These surveys represent Earth’s true magnetic field. As seen above, the MVSD model captures the overall trend of the Earth’s main field. The higher resolution MVHD model begins to include some of the high-resolution features in the Earth’s magnetic field generated by the crustal component.

ADDITIONAL ADD ON SERVICES

At H&P, we also offer add on services that can further reduce uncertainty when using MVSD or MVHD.

• Advanced MWD Analytics: method for reducing MWD survey error through least squares regression techniques

• Sag: method of correcting bottom hole assembly (BHA) Sag misalignment

• IFR Pad Solution (IFR-PS): IFR-1 level corrections based off local correction applied to MVHD from groundshots taken on pad

Weather Challenges in Drilling Rig Industry

As spring approaches in the United States, many of us drilling in Oklahoma and Texas welcome the nicer temperatures but must also remain weather-aware with an expectation of severe storms, and even tornadoes. This isn’t something that could happen – it’s something that did happen as I worked on an Oklahoma rig that was in the path of a tornado one year ago. As a rig manager, it’s my responsibility to be sure my crew recognizes the importance of being prepared – knowing procedures and being ready at a moment’s notice to respond to unexpected circumstances, whether it’s severe weather, unexpected downhole conditions, equipment malfunction, the list goes on. Let’s be sure we Actively C.A.R.E.™ for ourselves and others throughout all seasons. a secure working environment that empowers all in the oil and gas industry.

Survey Management

REMOVE UNCERTAINTY WITH DATA AS YOU DRILL

Drilling practices alone are not enough to accurately deliver a high quality wellbore, as success is equally dependent on the accuracy of the wellbore survey. H&P’s Survey Management increases the accuracy and consistency of how we measure boreholes, enabling the delivery of any outcome that relies on knowledge of the wellbore position or shape. These outcomes include landing a curve, properly spacing laterals, safely performing collision avoidance operations, and updating well plans and geological models to accurately reflect data that was measured while drilling.

Accurate, Consistent, and Reliable Wellbore Surveys

By reducing the magnitude of survey errors commonly encountered during drilling operations and through the early identification and elimination of gross errors related to the surveying process, Survey Management improves the accuracy, consistency and reliability of wellbore positioning operations.

H&P provides a pre-job report confirming basic well details and aligning operations on initialization of survey instruments. During drilling, real-time corrections of the survey data are performed and once the well is finished a post-job analysis of what occurred is provided so that operators can have greater confidence that survey execution was performed to their expectations. This helps eliminate gross errors that may directly contribute to major adverse events such as sidetracks, missed landing points and wellbore collisions. Reducing gross errors will in turn reduce the frequency of those negative outcomes.

Reducing survey uncertainty can:

· Expand the safe operating envelope available to a driller when performing collision avoidance operations

· Drive more precise spacing of laterals

· Enable more accurate total vertical depth (TVD) estimation both when landing the curve and drilling the lateral

SMOOTH OPERATIONAL PROCESS ENABLES PAINLESS IMPLEMENTATION

· Automated quality control and data processing

· API connections to third party software

· Trusted, technical experts provide procedures and best practices to help ensure survey success

· Operations to scale without compromising service quality

STALLASSIST™ SOFTWARE

DETECT, MITIGATE, AND RECOVER FROM DOWNHOLE STALLS

95% of operators experience motor/rotary steerable system (RSS) stalls downhole. Frequent stalls can result in premature bit and BHA failures that lead to unplanned trips, tools lost in hole, sidetracks or cement plugs – and in some cases plugging and abandoning a well if the mitigation efforts are unsuccessful. H&P StallAssist™ software was designed not only to detect downhole stalls, but to mitigate and help recover from them. By increasing bit and BHA reliability this technology can help decrease sidetracks or lost in hole occurrences and increase motor and bit longevity, translating into more footage drilled per BHA and reduced time to target.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

FEATURES

ADVANTAGES

OUTCOME

As pressure is reaching the stall rating, the system continually and simultaneously evaluates several factors; pressure, the speed in which the pressure is rising and motor specifications

Dynamic, real-time calculations prevent the motor from ever seeing the strain of pressure that is outside motor limitations

Detects and actions a stall much faster than a human can feasibly do, stopping significant wear from excessive force on elastomer and mechanical motor components

Within in just a couple of seconds of detection, StallAssist immediately and automatically executes the full sequence to react to a stall

Consistent and immediate action. Without StallAssist software, a driller would have to action each step in the process; See steps 1-7 above. The driller can now focus on the full spectrum of drilling operation activities

Helps eliminate delayed or inconsistent reactions that put additional strain on the motor, reducing premature BHA failure and associated replacement costs

Configured based on operators operational preferences and practices. As an example, pumps can be slowed or stopped after stall detection

Allows for quicker recovery of electrical and mechanical systems

Quickly resume operations, reducing downtime

Unlike other industry offering, StallAssist is a software-based system

No downhole tools are required

Avoid additional risk and cost associated with downhole tools

StallAssist software detects and mitigates stalls during both rotating and sliding activity

Not dependent on drilling method

Confidence throughout the drilling process

After 2 years of testing StallAssist™ software: No Stall Undetected. No False Detections.

AUTODRILLER PRO CONTROL SYSTEM - INDUSTRY-FIRST ADVANCED CONTROLLER TECHNOLOGY

Watch the full video to know more about this technology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ai9boL8hLAA

A CONTROL SYSTEM THAT KNOWS WHAT’S IMPORTANT, WHEN IT MATTERS MOST

AUTODRILLER PRO CONTROL SYSTEM

Autodriller pro control system removes human variability and enhances drilling performance

Through sequenced collaboration between H&P drilling technologies, H&P can help reduce human variability and provide game changing drilling performance solutions with an advanced autodriller control system. Traditional autodriller systems require manual gain adjustments that can cause variable results. A related issue associated with gains that are either set too high manually, or with a semi-fixed gain system, can result in block velocity variability that negatively impacts rate of penetration (ROP), and in some cases bit life that results in additional trips with time, fuel, and emissions impacts.

H&P’S AUTODRILLER PRO SYSTEM PROVIDES STABLE DRILLING WITH DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE, REDEFINING THE VALUE DERIVED FROM AN AUTODRILLER SYSTEM

AUTODRILLER TECHNOLOGY COMPARISON

Overshoot Prevention vs Smooth Drilling

Automated gain settings

Lower gain controller for smoother drilling and more consistent block velocity

Strong controller responses while not over-reacting to fluctuations in downhole conditions

Differential pressure can be used to control block velocity

ANALYSIS OF AUTODRILLER VARIABILITY

Variability of Parameters

Variability of autodriller parameters shows that though WOB and differential pressure responses are generally similar, ROP (directly associated with block velocity) is significantly less variable with Autodriller Pro.

REDUCE TIME TO TARGET

Helmerich & Payne Launches Industry-First Advanced Controller Technology

Autodriller Pro Control System Helps Remove Human Variability While Enhancing Drilling Performance

TULSA, Oklahoma, December 1, 2021 -- Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (NYSE: HP) today introduced Autodriller Pro, an advanced controller technology designed to smoothly control block velocity while regulating inputs from differential pressure, torque and/or weight on bit (WOB). This industry-leading drawworks control system seamlessly transfers to/from WOB and dif ferential pressure while helping to maintain smooth drilling that doesn’t require changing gain settings at the driller’s console.

“We set out to design a control system that would know what was important when it mattered most, and I believe that is what we have accomplished with Autodriller Pro,” said Todd Benson, Chief Innovation Officer.

The system automatically regulates to the parameter most in control at the time in order to maintain smooth block velocity, improving consistent bit and rock engagement. Smooth block velocity results in less axial oscillation f rom surface, providing a higher rate of penetration (ROP) and improved bit and downhole reliability.

The significance of coaching and mentorship at H&P

If you’re familiar with H&P, then you know that we take our commitment to HSE seriously.  The evolution and advancement of our safety practices year over year extend beyond procedures and processes; they are deeply rooted in our personal employee-to-employee coaching and mentorship.  As an industry, the role mentors play cannot be emphasized enough. Recognizing that much of the expertise newer employees acquire comes from their seasoned counterparts and that the importance of on-the-job training is a fundamental part of the drilling industry.  It's important to note that mentorship transcends our rig operations; in reality, everyone, whether in an office, shop, or on a rig, likely encounters a mentor at some point in their career.

Acknowledging the significance of mentorship, H&P continuously innovates to enhance and support our mentoring processes. This month's newsletter features two resources aimed at facilitating the coaching and mentoring of employees.  While our program undeniably adds substantial value, it's essential to recognize that at its core, a mentor/mentee relationship thrives on individuals Actively CAREing for one another. If you haven't already considered it, I urge you to find a way to become a mentor to someone who could benefit from your experience and knowledge. Conversely, I encourage you to find someone who would teach and challenge you and ask if they would be a mentor to you.

The Coaching Guide originated in 2018 as part of a campaign to equip our Drilling Superintendents and HSE staff with additional tools and skills for coaching employees in the field. Recognizing the diverse skill sets among supervisors and managers, we aimed to support the development of these skills and provide a reference guide. Since its release, the guide has undergone updates to align with our core values and behaviors. Presently, we distribute these guides to new managers and employees seeking to enhance their people leadership skills. By sharing this, we hope it can serve as an additional resource to empower your own leaders. Safety is personal and it’s our job to Actively C.A.R.E. for one another.

Delivering Better Drilling Outcomes with Rig Floor Automation

REDUCE DRILLPIPE DAMAGE & INCREASE TORQUE EFFICIENCY IN UNCONVENTIONAL WELLS

The drilling landscape is changing as automation and mechanization create opportunities to further enhance safety and performance, while meeting the aggressive parameters required for deeper wells with longer laterals.

Empowered by the Helmerich & Payne legacy of domain expertise and innovative technology, the HexGrip” 12O automated floor wrench, combined with additional rig floor mechanization enhancements, move modern well programs forward to new performance milestones in the industry's performance journey.

TFE INDUSTRY'S PREMIERE HIGH TORQUE SOLUTION FOR THE UNCONVENTIONAL DRILLING MARKET

The HexGrip 120 automated floor wrench offers the consistently high makeup and breakout torque needed to ensure connection integrity. Factoring the strain extra torque can have on the box, the HexGrip 120 uses six contact points on the upper and lower arms, reducing the force needed to make and break connections, all safely controlled remotely from the driller's cabin. In addition to process efficiency, remote diagnostic capabilities track and record connection data, enabling a detailed representation of connection integrity's impact on drilling practices and continuous improvement.

A MAJOR OPERATOR IN WEST TEXAS SAW A 90% REDUCTION IN TONG USAGE AFTER THE HEXGRIP 120 WRENCH WAS INSTALLED.

The industry leading FlexRig fleet revolutionized rig move ePiciency. Now,the HexGrip 120 wrench provides industry-leading floor wrench capabilities and a minimal footprint without compromising the efficiency gains achieved with our rigs.

ENHANCED RIG FLOOR MECHANIZATION

The labor involved in manually placing and pulling slips is not only a physical hardship, it places crew members in a high-risk area near the well center. Because H&P’s Retractable Slip Lifters are inset into the rig floor, the top drive can now drill all the way down, creating a seamless transition between drilling and tripping. Safely controlled from the driller's cabin, HSE exposure is reduced by removing additional rig crew presence from well center, while streamlining the overall process to deliver a more consistent outcome.

Rig Floor Automation provides safety and consistency through automation controls and also through the simplicity of enhanced traction control floor mats. These custom- designed mats utilize a combination of raised buttons for traction and are durable enough to withstand even oil-based fluids that commonly affect traditional matting. High-risk areas are identified through color-coded zones on the mats to help mitigate hazards to crew members. Modularity ensures a quick change- out if needed, without incurring downtime.
