A system and method for surface steerable drilling are provided. In one example, the system receives feedback information from a drilling rig and calculates an estimated position of a drill bit in a formation based on the feedback information. The system compares the estimated position to a desired position along a planned path of a borehole. The system calculates multiple solutions if the comparison indicates that the estimated position is outside a defined margin of error relative to the desired position. Each solution defines a path from the estimated position to the planned path. The system calculates a cost of each solution and selects one of the solutions based at least partly on the cost. The system produces control information representing the selected solution and outputs the control information for the drilling rig. | ||||||

A method for predicting the rate of penetration (ROP) of a drill bit drilling a well bore through intervals of rock of a subterranean formation is provided. The method uses an equation based upon specific energy principles. A relationship is determined between a bit-specific coefficient of sliding friction µ and confined compressive strength CCS over a range of confined compressive strengths CCS. Similarly, another relationship for the drill bit is determined between mechanical efficiency EFFM and confined compressive strength CCS over a range of confined compressive strengths CCS. Confined compressive strength CCS is estimated for intervals of rock through which the drill bit is to be used to drill a well bore. The rate of penetration ROP is then calculated utilizing the estimates of confined compressive strength CCS of the intervals of rock to be drilled and those determined relationships between the bit-specific coefficient of sliding friction µ and the mechanical efficiency EFFM and the confined compressive strengths CCS, as well as using estimated drill bit speeds N (RPM) and weights on bit (WOB). | ||||||

140 | Procedure for measuring the rate of penetration of a drill bit | EP88200619.0 | 1988-04-05 | EP0289068A1 | 1988-11-02 | Kerbart, Yves |
The invention relates to a procedure for measuring the rate of penetration VF of a drill bit fixed to the lower end of a drill string lowered into a well. During an initial period, the well is drilled keeping, on average, the value of weight F of the drill string measured at the surface relatively constant, and the momentary values of the drill string rate of penetration VS and the weight F are measured at the surface at different successive moments. The value of the drill string average rate of penetration VSM at the surface is determined from the values of VS measured and the successive values of dF/dt of the first derivative with respect to time. The coefficient of apparent rigidity of the drill string during the initial period is then determined from the values of VSM, VS and dF/dt. Finally, the rate VF is calculated. |
