FDS 1.1
- FRIENDLY DRILLING SOFTWARE
DAILY
DRILLING REPORT SOFTWARE
FDS is a database program designed to capture and store pertinent drilling information at
the rig.
Some
key features of FDS are:
- Enter data once
- Capture the data a
drilling engineer needs for subsequent well bore design
- Make the data-entry
process as quick-and-easy as possible
- Present the daily
drilling summary in a graphical and easy-to-read format
FDS was designed, developed,
and field-tested in 1998 by experienced professionals that understand drilling
operations, drilling engineering, and database management.
FDS 1.1 SCREEN CAPTURES
This is Page-1 of the Daily Drilling Summary (a.k.a., Daily Drilling Report).
Note the improved time allocation categories, and the concept of planned and not-planned events. Cost data can be removed from the summary. On the annotated
Time vs. Depth plot, the dashed line is the pre-spud plan, the blue line is the
actual, and the thick black line is the actual of the last 24 hrs. It fits
Letter or A4 size paper. And yes, it looks great when printed or faxed in
black-and-white.
This is Page-2. Much of the information is calculated via sophisticated
integration of user-input data (e.g., hydraulics from BHA, mud, bit, and
drilling data). There is complete input and output units flexibility. Page-2
also includes a snapshot Vertical View and Plan View if survey data has been
entered; and with a nifty in-house algorithm, 3 of the 4 axes are kept to scale.
FDS was field-tested overseas.
Next are various screen captures.
For allocating time, you can select from a menu, or right-click and select
from a pop-up menu as shown. All drilling or coring entries have associated
footage data.
Adding bit runs, bha specs, and mud pump specs are a snap. Just double-click
and the appropriate screen pops-up. “UP” stands for “un-planned”, a much
more accepted word than “trouble-time”.
We would guess you’ve never seen an easier dull-bit grading system than
this. Based on the bit type, the appropriate IADC dull bit grading options are
presented and you just point-and-click and the grading is automatically
generated...it only takes seconds to
grade.
Casing specs are only entered once ever, not once per well.
Mud pump specs are only entered once ever, not once per well.
Tracking
costs are easy whence configured, and recurring costs (i.e., a checkmark in
column “R”) are the defaults for the next day.
Here’s the report generation screen. Back-dated reports can also be
generated as if they were done in real time, as was done here for day 20.
The check boxes are set while the report is being generated. A check means that
the associated data was input for that day (a helpful reminder) and was
processed successfully.
The well-data extraction tab is where one can summarize data for the well.
Just a few examples follow.
Again, “UP” stands for “un-planned.”
