Daily Information – Part 1 cont’d……..
For the first day of the job, there is a data field for the starting depth (Depth In On First Day) at the top of the page. The Work Status drop-down determines an Operating or Standby day. This field must be filled in for proper meterage calculations. Double-clicking on a list item, or using the Edit button or the Edit menu item on the right-click menu can edit activity items. Adding and deleting follows the standard methods. For more detail in adding activities, use the Zoom button or the Zoom right-click menu item. This opens a large window with pre-defined activity codes on the left and an enlarged view of the activities list box on the right. Working in this screen is very similar to working in the BHA zoom screen.
Activities are categorized into Circulating, Drilling, MWD, Tripping, Rig and Other. Use the activities that are provided. You cannot add new activities to the lists. The existing activities are coded as to the type of hours associated with the activity (i.e. motor drilling hours, rotary drilling hours etc.). Each activity can only be associated with one type of hours, so split up combined periods from the tour sheets into separate activities.
Make sure you include the correct BHA number and depth in each activity. Meterage for the day and for each BHA is calculated from the depths entered. When starting a sidetrack, enter the depth for the sidetrack and click the box ‘set new start depth’ in the bottom left corner of the Edit Activity Item box. This will ensure the proper meterage calculations for the sidetrack. The total meterage for the day will show the sum of the meters made before the sidetrack and since the sidetrack. Do not leave a depth blank; it will be interpreted as a zero depth and throw off calculations. Also, do not leave the BHA number blank during a series of entries. It can only be blank between BHAs and ensure the BHA numbers are contiguous (no gaps and do not alternate i.e. 1,2,1,1). This will cause unpredictable results in the calculated hours and meterage.
Fill in other daily parameters on the right-hand side.
Daily Information – Part 2
On the left page, enter the daily mud information.
Liquid Type/Rate, Gas Type/Rate are for UBD applications only and can be left blank when this does not apply.
On the right page, flow rates and pressures are recorded. You can enter the SPM and liner size for up to three pumps. The order of the pumps is the order that is shown in the list box on the Rig Pumps page. The flow rates will be calculated automatically.
Daily Information – Part 3
Add daily Personnel On Site on the left-hand page. You may use the + sign for the Edit
Personnel On Site , the Zoom (Personnel On Site List) screen shown below, or the Clone for this task. Clone allows you to copy the Personnel On Site List from another day in the job to the currently selected day. Cloning the personnel list from another day with the same list is a short cut method of entering the personnel list. Once the list has been cloned it may be edited for any additions or changes.
Note – when cloning, the current Personnel On Site list will be completely overwritten with the cloned daily personnel list. It is recommended therefore, clone the desired daily personnel list before making any changes.
When adding personnel to the current day using either the Zoom or the Edit Personnel On Site you will be required to specify the personnel Work Type (Field, Standby, Training or Travel). This designation is independent of the daily Work Status in Daily Information – Part 1.
Enter any comments on the right page, they will appear in the Daily Activities report. New Page
