Rig equipment analysis using a health index

A rig system, comprising:

• rig equipment configured for drilling a wellbore;
• and
• a computing system in communication with the rig equipment, the computing system comprising:
• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory system including one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, cause the computing system to control the rig equipment to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• performing a first rig operation using the rig equipment, wherein the rig first operation comprises a make-up connection operation, a touch-bottom operation, or both;
• measuring one or more operating parameters while performing the first rig operation;
• generating a baseline dataset based on measurements of the one or more operating parameters taken while performing the first rig operation;
• performing a second rig operation using the rig equipment, wherein the second rig operation is a same type of rig operation as the first rig operation;
• measuring the one or more operating parameters while performing the second rig operation;
• generating a current dataset based on measurements of the one or more operating parameters taken while performing the second rig operation;
• determining a health index value for the rig equipment by comparing the baseline dataset and the current dataset;
• and
• adjusting one or more drilling rig parameters based on the health index value, to extend a life of the rig equipment, extend a maintenance period thereof, or both, wherein adjusting the one or more drilling rig parameters comprises adjusting a level of operational load of the rig equipment, adjusting a throttle of the rig equipment, adjusting a drilling technique employing the rig equipment, or a combination thereof.

A rig system, comprising:

• rig equipment configured for drilling a wellbore;
• one or more sensors coupled to the rig equipment;
