Abstract
A method for operating a drilling plant machine includes providing a drilling plant machine which includes a sensor which measures a parameter which is indicative of a jarring load acting on the drilling plant machine from a drill string, providing a set of values representing readings from the sensor, identifying a jarring event, and determining a magnitude of the parameter from the set of values.
Claims23
A method for operating a drilling plant machine, the method comprising:
- providing a drilling plant machine comprising a sensor which is configured to measure at least one parameter which is indicative of a jarring load acting on the drilling plant machine from a drill string;
- providing a set of values representing readings from the sensor;
- identifying a jarring event;
- and
- determining a magnitude of the at least one parameter from the set of values,
- wherein the identifying of the jarring event comprises at least one of:
- receiving a signal generated by an operator indicating that a jarring event has been executed, and
- comparing the magnitude of the at least one parameter to a first pre-determined threshold value, the first pre-determined threshold value being indicative that a jarring event has taken place.

A drilling system comprising:
- a drilling plant machine;
- a sensor configured to measure at least one parameter which is indicative of a jarring load acting on the drilling plant machine from a drill string;
- and
- a processor configured to receive a set of values measured by the sensor and to determine a magnitude of the at least one parameter from the set of values,
- wherein the processor is configured to identify the jarring event if at least one of,
- a signal generated by an operator indicates that a jarring event has been executed, and
- the magnitude of the at least one parameter exceeds a first pre-determined threshold value, the first pre-determined threshold signal being indicative of the jarring event having taken place.
