US Patent:

20110077924, Mar 31, 2011
Filed:

May 28, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/989183
Inventors:

Mehmet Deniz Ertas - Bethlehem PA, US
Erika A.O. Biediger - Houston TX, US
Shankar Sundararaman - Houston TX, US
Jeffrey R. Bailey - Houston TX, US
Vishwas Gupta - Sugar Land TX, US
Narasimha-Rao V. Bangaru - Pittstown NJ, US
Swarupa Soma Bangaru - Pittstown NJ, US
International Classification:

G06F 17/50
US Classification:

703 2
Abstract:

Methods and systems of reducing drilling vibrations include generation a vibration performance index using at least one frequency-domain model having a velocity-dependent friction relationship. The vibration performance index may be used to aid in the design or manufacture of a drill tool assembly. Additionally or alternatively, the vibration performance index may inform drilling operations to reduce vibrations.

Filed:

Sep 30, 2009
Appl. No.:

13/121633
Inventors:

Jeffrey R. Bailey - Houston TX, US
Erika A.O Biediger - Houston TX, US
Lei Wang - Sugar Land TX, US
Shankar Sundararaman - Houston TX, US
Mehmet Deniz Ertas - Bethlehem PA, US
Vishwas Gupta - Sugar Land TX, US
International Classification:

E21B 43/00
E21B 7/00
US Classification:

166369, 175 57
Abstract:

A method and apparatus associated with the production of hydrocarbons is disclosed. The method, which relates to modeling and operation of drilling equipment, includes constructing one or more surrogates for at least a portion of a bottom hole assembly (BHA) and calculating performance results from each of the one or more surrogates. The calculated results of the modeling may include one or more vibration performance indices that characterize the BHA vibration performance of the surrogates for operating parameters and boundary conditions, which may be substantially the same as conditions to be used, being used, or previously used in drilling operations. The selected BHA surrogate may then be utilized in a well construction operation and thus associated with the production of hydrocarbons.

International Classification:

E21B 44/00
G05B 13/04
E21B 7/00
US Classification:

175 24, 700 29, 700 30
Abstract:

Methods and systems for controlling drilling operations include using a statistical model to identify at least one controllable drilling parameter having significant correlation to an objective function incorporating two or more drilling performance measurements. The methods and systems further generate operational recommendations for at least one controllable drilling parameter based at least in part on the statistical model. The operational recommendations are selected to optimize the objective function.

Filed:

Dec 6, 2007
Appl. No.:

12/517526
Inventors:

Jeffrey R. Bailey - Houston TX, US
Erika A.O. Biediger - Houston TX, US
Vishwas Gupta - Sugar Land TX, US
International Classification:

G06F 17/50
G06F 17/10
E21B 43/00
US Classification:

166369, 703 2, 703 1
Abstract:

A method and apparatus associated with the production of hydrocarbons is disclosed. The method, which relates to modeling of drilling equipment, includes constructing one or more design configurations for at least a portion of a bottom hole assembly (BHA) and calculating results from each of the one or more design configurations. The calculated results of the modeling may include one or more performance indices that characterize the BHA vibration performance of the design configurations for operating parameters and boundary conditions that are substantially the same or may be different. These results are then simultaneously displayed for a user to facilitate design selection. The selected BHA design configuration may then be utilized in a well construction operation and thus associated with the production of hydrocarbons.
