Surface-hole drilling from multiwell platforms or pads
Oriented kickoffs U sing GyroPulse* gyro while drilling saves rig time by providing simultaneous real-time gyro orienting and magnetic MWD on a single trip into the hole. Battery life is not a concern because the turbine in the PowerPulse* MWD telemetry system powers the gyro in all phases of the operation except gyro compassing. Use of the PowerPulse system allows drilling to continue to section total depth without interruption. The rig time this saves can reduce drilling costs significantly, particularly in deep water. FREQUENT, ACCURATE SURVEYS Because it is possible to take surveys more often, well trajectories determined from GyroPulse surveys are generally more accurate than those derived from multiple gyro single-shot runs or gyro steering tools run on wirelinethe traditional methods for making directional surveys when there is magnetic interference from nearby wells. Such interference often is a problem when drilling surface holes from multiwell platforms or performing oriented kickoffs. PROVEN RELIABILITY Reliability of the PowerPulse MWD telemetry system used in the GyroPulse service has been proved during more than 2 million circulating hours. The gyro is mounted below the PowerPulse system in a proprietary, shockproof collar to be as close to the bit as possible. VERSATILE AND COMBINABLE The GyroPulse service can provide real-time inertial (gyro) and gravity toolface while sliding and provide simultaneous gyro and magnetic surveys when the pipe is stationary. In addition, it is combinable with LWD formation evaluation services, such as arcVISION* Array Resistivity Compensated tools and other VISION* formation evaluation and imaging while drilling services. MWD SURVEYING ENHANCEMENT The GyroPulse service is an enhancement to conventional MWD surveying, allowing accurate well trajectory determination with no additional rig time in situations in which there is magnetic interference from nearby wells. This reduces the risk of both stuck pipe and well collision in surface holes. The fact that the service can be combined with simultaneous formation evaluation measurements while drilling yields further savings in rig time and provides additional data for optimum well placement.
