DrillScene prevented loss of drilling BHA by early detection

Nov 2021

Incident

DrillScene detected SPP dropping from 209 to 204 bar in 1.5hrs . Wash out alert issued to RTOC. DrillScene + DrillExpect continued to monitor condition

Immediate Solution

DrillScene trend show SPP continue to drop. Decision taken to POOH. Gas influx while POOH requiring DrillScene. Lookahead simulations to perform mud weight adjustment + ECD sensitive analysis to ensure safe POOH.

Results

BHA successfully POOH and wash out on jar connection observed. Lost of BHA prevented.
