CONSISTENT BIT AND BHA ENGAGEMENT
Failure Prevention Technology
Staging drilling setpoints after tagging bottom is often inconsistent and can cause drilling dysfunction. H&P transformed this common multi-step task into an automated and configurable process with FlexB2D® technology.
Now, with FlexB2D 2.0 operators can realize even more efficiencies than were available before. FlexB2D 2.0 technology performs automated zeroing of the weight-on-bit (WOB) and differential pressure setpoint and helps ensure proper contact with the formation. Automated, configurable, consistent bit engagement ultimately reduces BHA failures and decreases time to target.
2.0 Enhancements
-
Full stand control means you can return to bottom from any point during a stand after engaging bottom (sliding or rotating), improving back to bottom times and lessening exposure to manual bit engagement variances
-
Surveys on the fly decrease flat time/off bottom time spent waiting for surveys before drilling operations can resume
-
Off bottom RPM reduction automatically slows the top drive to help prevent harmful drillstring vibrations
-
Reduce Failures and Repairs
• Lowers risk of damaging downhole tools by reengaging the bit in a controlled and repeatable manner
• Reduces torsional and lateral vibration
• Automated zeroing helps ensure accuracy and consistency
-
Lowers Operational Costs
• Less costly bit and BHA issues
• Improved consistency drives lower cost per foot
• Avoid unplanned trips
-
Accelerates Well Programs
• Automated staging to 9 operator defined drilling setpoints ensure consistent execution
• Reduce transition times from connections to full drilling rates
-
Reduces Human Variability
