Entering Employee Information This is a single instance report (meaning there is one report for each well) that is created and maintained throughout the duration of the well. The employee information report is carried forward when a well is ended to the next well. This report enables a company to list the employees and to enter information pertaining to each employee. The information is then stored in the database to populate specific fields in other reports to include the payroll sections of the tour sheet. Two common uses for this report are payroll and safety reports. Employee information must be completed before attempting to sign off a completed tour sheet. To access the Employee Info screen, click Reports in the navigation bar, and then click on the Employee Info Report tab or select Employee Info Report from the Report Type menu.

Click Functions to Save or Print the employee report.1

Click the magnifying glass to zoom in on the report and populate the fields.

1: Getting Started

Click and drag on any row to launch a tool bar that allows row manipulations such as add, delete, and move.

Completing an Employee Information Report Position, first and last name, and a signature are required to correctly import the employee information into the tour sheet. A signature is executed by entering a PIN (personal identification number) assigned by the Tool Pusher. If a signature pad is installed, the employee signs their name on the signature pad when prompted after entering their PIN. The Crew field is used to group employees together so they can easily be added to other reports. To do this, enter the same crew number in the Crew field for each employee in the same crew. A crew is tracked by the crew number assigned and the appointed Driller of that crew. Double click the Position field to select an Operator Rep, Company Man, Tool Pusher, or Rig Manager from the drop-down list. For tour sheet sign-off purposes leave the Crew field blank for these four positions.

Report Sign Off

This section is where the Rig Manager (or Tool Pusher) and the Operator Representative (or Company Man) sign off a completed report to make it official. These fields are locked until the drillers have signed and locked each of their tours. If the drillers are unavailable, the Rig Manager ( or Tool Pusher) can sign in place of the Driller. To sign a report: 1. Click in the field and type the PIN setup on the Employee information Report (see "Completing an Employee Information Report" on page 101.) and press enter. 2. Depending on the options selected by your company, one of two things will happen:

The name associated with the pin is automatically displayed in the field; or

If a signature pad is installed, the signature pad dialog will display to sign the document.

3. Once both fields have been signed, the system will verify that a valid IADC license exists.

If a valid IADC license is not available, a pop-up will display a notification and the signature fields will be cleared.

Note: Contact the local M/D Totco representative to purchase or renew an IADC license key. See "IADC Licenses" on page 154.

Viewing Extracted Data RigSense enables the user to extract data into comma-separated value (CSV) files. RigSense packages the individual extract files into compressed ZIP files in order to conserve disk space. The file extension used for the individual extract files is RRC. These files can be viewed or manipulated using other readily available software applications, such as Microsoft Excel. Extracted data files are located in E:\ExtractFolder\. File Formats The RRC files produced by RigSense can be viewed using Notepad. The files store extracted data in a very simple format. The first row in the file lists the name of each data channel contained in the file, separated by a comma. The second row in the file lists the units of each data channel contained in the file, separated by a comma. The third, and all subsequent, rows contain the actual values for each data channel contained in the file.

When extracting data into RRC files, RigSense lets the user choose between extracting data by time or by (hole) depth. When extracting data by time, the file contains one row of values for each time interval and shows data values changing each second over a period of hours, days, or weeks. If the time interval spans more than one day, then RigSense breaks the RRC files into multiple ZIP archives. Each ZIP archive contains 24-hours of data, and the ZIP file name will contain the date, start, and end time of the data contained within it.

www.nov.com/mdtotco


42TM62-05 A 114 of 228

9: Tools

When extracting time-based data from RigSense, the user has the option to compress the generated RRC files. Compressed RRC files will not include repeated channel values. E.g. if the initial value for the Block Height channel is 89 feet, and the value does not change for the next two hours, then 89 feet will appear at the beginning of the two hour interval, but will be shown again until it changes to a different value. If the user chooses not to compress the data, then the RRC files will include a value for each channel in every row of the file, even if the same value is repeated from one row to the next. If the data will be used in another application, such as Microsoft Excel, then it is preferable not to compress the data, as such applications do not process the compressed, or "exception-based," data format. When extracting data by depth, the file contains one row of values for each depth interval, showing data values changing as hole depth increases over a given range. Unlike time-based data, RigSense produces a single RRC file containing all of the data over the requested depth range. The name of the ZIP file will contain the start and end depth of the requested interval. When extracting depth-based data from RigSense, the user does not have the option to compress the data. Rather, every row will contain values for all requested data channels automatically.

However, the user must exercise caution, because RigSense is capable of producing very large quantities of data, and Excel may run out of memory attempting to process data in large quantities. Ideally, Excel should be used to view small sections of data at a time.

Setting up Sample Catching To begin Sample Catching, the user must choose from one of three notification modes:

RigSense Lag - Contains annular velocity which requires correct pump information and the user to enter bit diameter and pipe OD (outside diameter). Once set, RigSense calculates the lag time for a drilled depth to reach the surface. This mode displays notes and/or pop-up messages based on the user set Lead Time which gives the user advanced notice for taking the sample.

3rd Party Lag Depth - This mode uses the lag depth value received from a mud logger or portable gas logger via WITS to print on screen sample catching notes and pop-up messages. The sample must be taken immediately after the on screen note or pop-up message appears.

Time Delay - Enter the time it takes for the sample to reach the surface. This number does not rely on pump strokes which makes this mode suitable for air drilling. This mode displays notes and/or pop-up messages when the hole depth is drilled based on the Sample Every interval which gives the user advanced notice for taking the sample.

Pipe tally in RigSense® is a powerful tool that has the ability to maintain an accurate bit depth and hole depth, while keeping a record of the pipe tally. When the pipe tally is used in conjunction with the pipe inventory (see "Pipe Tally with Inventory" on page 183), it also provides direct input to the tour sheet. The driller enters the length (and type) of bottom hole assembly (BHA) or drill string elements into the pipe tally as they are measured, and before they are added to the drill pipe. When entered, the drill string elements are marked as inactive (not yet in the drill string). Each time a connection is made the joints are automatically added to the pipe tally and activated. Because the pipe tally calculates drill string length, the system string length is always updated, and the depth will be correct. The pipe tally handles the following:

Maintaining the pipe tally and calculating total BHA length, total string length, total drill pipe length, and total kelly down length.

Monitoring the drilling process and recognizing connections. With this information, it tracks the bit in and out of the hole, and activates joints as they are added

Maintaining an accurate hole depth as long as the joint lengths are entered correctly and the electronic depth measurement system (EDMS) calibration is accurate. If auto depth is enabled without joints entered, pipe tally adds joints automatically based on the measured connection lengths provided by the EDMS calculations. The system string length is compared with the string length in the pipe tally, and the system string length is adjusted as required.

The pipe tally also maintains an on-site pipe inventory entered by the user and stored in the data base. Joints are added to the pipe tally by selecting from this inventory, using a drop-down list in the pipe tally. The quantity and type of pipe on site is maintained by the user.

Pipe Tally Interface The pipe tally user Interface presents the pipe tally in grid format and allows editing by the driller. The driller can add joints, delete joints, modify existing joints, insert joints, and move joints from one location to another in the pipe tally. Other options are also available and will be detailed in the rest of this section.

Grid Columns The pipe tally is displayed in a grid with the following columns:

#: (automatic) This is the joint identifier used to identify positions when moving, deleting, etc.

DP #: (automatic) This is the drill pipe count. It only includes items where the Status field selection is Pipe.


11: Pipe Tally


42TM62-05 A 167 of 228

Stand: (automatic) This column is dependent on the number of joints per stand selected in Well Setup. If three joints per stand is selected, this column will contain x for the first joint in a stand, xx for the second joint, and the stand number for the third joint. If two joints per stand is selected, this column will contain x for the first joint in a stand, and the stand number for the second joint. Up to four joints per stand are valid choices.

O.D.: (automatic) This is the outside diameter of the joint selected. The information is retrieved from the on-site pipe inventory

Description: (Driller selected) This information is selected from the Description drop-down list. See "Inventory" on page 171.

Length: (Automatic/Driller entered) The joint length has three sources:

The strapped length of a joint entered by the driller.

Length measured by the EDMS (indicated by an underline.) When a connection is made (and auto depth is on), if the last joint in the tally is the active joint (highlighted green), and the next entry is empty, the pipe tally copies the previous joint type entered, and sets the length to the connection length measured by the DAQ.

If RigSense is installed on a rig that has been drilling for some time, in order to get the Pipe Tally up and running quickly, the driller can do a backfill of joints up to the current joint by entering the total length of the backfill, and the number of joints in the backfill. The Pipe Tally Manager then divides the length by the number of joints, and fills in the backfill area with this average joint length. In this case, a strike-through is used in the joint lengths indicating that the joint length was calculated from a backfill (least likely to be accurate).

Kelly Down: (automatic) This represents the depth at which Kelly Down will occur. It is the sum of the Drill String column and the Kelly Down channel value.

Drill String: (automatic) This is the sum of ALL the (active) elements in the drill string, including the "BHA" and "Pipe".

Drill Pipe: (automatic) This is the sum of the (active) Drill "Pipe", excluding the "BHA". It includes all joints with a status of "Pipe".

Status: (Driller selected) Status is selected from a drop-down list. This identifies the joints function in the Drill string:

BHA: This joint is a part of the BHA. BHA sections inserted in the Drill Pipe are treated as "Pipe" pieces. They are not included when "Display BHA only" is selected. The bottom hole assembly must be all together at the bottom of the hole.

Pipe: This is an element of the Drill Pipe (these are grouped into Stands)

Inactive: If a joint of pipe is physically removed from the Drill Sting, it may be left in the Pipe Tally for future replacement, and be set to "Inactive". It is removed from all totals. Also when entering joints ahead which have been strapped, but are not yet actually in the hole, they are automatically set to "Inactive", and the Status updated when a connection is made.

Set Multiple…: This is not an actual status, but a means to set one of the above states into multiple joints. When this is selected from the drop-down list, a dialog pops up

where you enter a start joint#, an end joint# and the Status you want them all to be set to. Then press OK, the joints are changed to the selected Status. Note: There is no logical connection between a type of joint in the inventory (Tool, DC, DP) and the pipe status in the pipe tally. This is determined by the Driller when the joint is added to the drill string.

Pipe Tally Features

On Screen Keypad Press to enable (an X displays on the button.) A numeric keypad displays when a cell in the Length column is selected.

Auto Depth Press to enable (an X displays on the button.) The pipe tally and system string lengths are compared each time a connection is made. If there is a difference, the system string length is replaced by the pipe tally string length. To verify the system string length is being updated to match the pipe tally: 1. Display the String Len channel in an EZ view in the header of the Pipe Tally screen. This is the system string length. 2. Navigate to the row highlighted in green in the pipe tally grid. This is the joint currently at the top of the drill string. 3. Compare the system string length value with the drill string value of the joint at the top of the drill string. Note: If the difference between the system string length and pipe tally string length values is more than 20% of the average joint length times number of joints connected, the system string length is not modified. Check the pipe tally for accuracy or recalibrate the block height and system set points on the Setup Depth screen.

Backfill Basics On occasion, a large number of joints may need to be added. In order to save time, a backfill can accomplish this task quickly without entering each joint individually. In general, a backfill is generated by entering a total length of the pipe, and then entering the number of joints included in that total. RigSense calculates the average joint length (length divided by number of joints) and sets the length of each joint to this average. Note: The average joint length calculation must result in a number close to the average length of a single joint of pipe. For this reason, do not include BHA items and other odd length items in a backfill with drill pipe. Only items of equal (or nearly equal) length should be included in any one backfill.

Conventions and Rules

All Drill String values and estimated joint Lengths in a backfill will have a line drawn through them.

Joints in a backfill can not be deleted or moved. To delete a joint in a backfill either delete the entire backfill or enter the correct length for all of the joints in the backfill. Once this is done, a single backfill joint may be deleted.

The underlined Drill String length at the end of a backfill reflects the accurate string length at that location in the drill string. All previous string lengths (with a line through them) are only estimates based on calculated joints. Note: Correcting joint lengths in a backfill does not change the underlined drill string length. This is the only string length in the backfill which is known to be correct (based on the backfill length entered by the driller.) Therefore, it is retained until all of the backfill joints have been corrected. Joint lengths in a backfill may be changed without affecting the accuracy of the string lengths following the backfill.

Editing the estimated joint length of the first or last item in a backfill, removes that item from the backfill. When the last item of a backfill is edited, the second to last item is underlined. The underlined drill string total is adjusted accordingly.

Inserting a new joint in a backfill will adjust the drill string total.

When all joints in a backfill have been corrected, the underline will be removed from the last drill string length and the backfill becomes a normal part of the drill string.

Test the TPOT Network If you suspect a problem with the TPOT network, do the following: 1. If there are other rig floor TPOT devices (i.e. DataWatch, spectrum panels, etc.), see whether they receive data from the DAQ as expected.

If yes, test the RigSense® connection to the TPOT network.

If not, test the DAQ per the DAQ documentation.

2. From the application server, run the TPOT Checker utility.

If the number of tokens does not change periodically, or shows no tokens received:

Check for cut or otherwise damaged cable.

Check for a missing terminator on the network.

Verify the TPOT modem attached to the application server is functioning.

Make sure the network is wired correctly; this means no T-connectors in the cable run except those on the modems.

3. While running the TPOT Client utility, make sure that there is a black dot next to the word “Valid”. This means that the *.CHN files match the channel list coming in from the DAQ. If the *.CHN file is not valid, contact M/D Totco for further assistance. 196 www.nov.com/mdtotco

Test the Ethernet Network If you suspect a problem with the Ethernet network, do the following: 1. Verify the IP addresses of the computers in the network are: App Server Client# NTTracer

——> ——> ——>

10 . 1 . 0 . 130 10 . 1 . 0 . 13# 10 . 1 . 0 . 140

The last three digits must be different for each computer, or the network does not operate properly. If an IP address for a computer is different from this list, contact M/D Totco for further assistance. 2. Verify the Subnet Mask for all IP addresses is: 255 . 255 . 255 . 0 If it is not, contact the local M/D Totco representative. 3. Use the Ping Check utility

4. If the computer and network cards are properly configured, check the wiring for faults. Repair wiring faults as needed. 5. If the wiring is OK, check the hub/router/network switch. If it appears to have failed, contact M/D Totco for further assistance.

A: CAODC About the Tour Sheets The CAODC (Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors) tour sheet is a key component of the relationship between Drilling Contractor and Operator. It is used by the Contractor to generate invoices and to manage personnel and equipment; by the Operator as an analytical tool to verify billings, review past drilling practices and design future wells; by oilfield service companies to refine their equipment and services; and by regulatory agencies as a document of legal record.

Using the Tour Sheets The RigSense® CAODC tour sheet allows users to view, create, load, save, import, and send tour sheets. You can do all these functions by clicking Functions on the Tour Sheet screen. Opens a new tour sheet. Opens an existing tour sheet. The tour sheet loaded can only be viewed. Changes can not be made to the tour sheet unless the tour sheet is unsigned. Saves the changes made in the tour sheet since the last save. Exports the tour sheet to a LAS or ASCII file format. Exports are also available to commonly used third party reporting packages. Deletes the tour sheet. Saves the tour sheet as a pdf so that it can be printed. Prints multiple copies of the tour sheet, a number of printing options are possible.
