Abstract
Systems and methods presented herein facilitate automation of coiled tubing drilling (CTD) operations. For example, a computer-implemented method includes performing a drilling operation via a CTD system; detecting data relating to one or more operating parameters of the drilling operation via one or more sensors of the CTD system during the drilling operation; and automatically adjusting at least one adjustable operating parameter of the drilling operation based on the detected data during the drilling operation.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- performing a drilling operation via a coiled tubing drilling system;
- detecting data relating to one or more operating parameters of the drilling operation via one or more sensors of the coiled tubing drilling system during the drilling operation;
- and
- automatically adjusting at least one adjustable operating parameter of the drilling operation based on the detected data during the drilling operation, wherein automatically adjusting the at least one adjustable operating parameter comprises auto-steering a bottom hole assembly (BHA) of the coiled tubing drilling system to reach a target formation during the drilling operation.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- performing a drilling operation via a coiled tubing drilling system;
- detecting data relating to one or more operating parameters of the drilling operation via one or more sensors of the coiled tubing drilling system during the drilling operation;
- and
- auto-geosteering a bottom hole assembly (BHA) of the coiled tubing drilling system to reach a target formation during the drilling operation.
