182 Methods and systems of analyzing wellbore drilling operations EP15150954.4 2015-01-13 EP2894292A3 2016-04-27 de Reynal, Michel, Jr.

A method for analyzing a wellbore drilling operation includes acquiring sonic log data, gamma ray log data, and rate of penetration (ROP) data. The sonic log data, the gamma ray log data, and the ROP data are associated with depth intervals of a wellbore. The method further includes determining unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of a rock formation associated with the wellbore using well log data and drilling data. The well log data is limited to the sonic log data and the gamma ray log data, and the drilling data is limited to the ROP data.

A method for automating a downhole milling process includes receiving an input stream from at least one sensor within a downhole milling system, and segmenting the input stream. A safe operating envelope is identified based on segments of the input stream and models for the segments. At least one parameter of the milling system is then automatically changed along a path of optimal rate of penetration while remaining within the safe operating envelope. In some embodiments, an input stream may include surface pressure and the safe operating envelope may include swarf transport conditions.

196 METHOD FOR IMPROVING DRILLING DEPTH MEASUREMENTS EP03719554.2 2003-04-03 EP1502003A2 2005-02-02 Hutchinson, Mark W.
A method for determining a depth of a wellbore is disclosed. The method includes determining change in a suspended weight of a drill string from a first time to a second time. A change in axial position of the upper portion of the drill string between the first time and the second time is determined. An expected amount of drill string compression related to the change in suspended weight is corrected for movement of a lower portion of the drill string between the first time and the second time. A position of the lower portion of the drill string is calculated from the change in axial position and the corrected amount of drill string compression. In one embodiment, the correcting includes estimating drill bit movement by determining an axial motion of the drill string at the earth's surface between two times having a same suspended weight of the drill string.

A method for recording or logging measurements that are substantially comparable to the acoustic impedance of formations crossed through by a borehole. The measurements are obtained from an acceleration sensor (11) placed in the drill string (2) between a rock breaking tool (7) and mechanical decoupling means (12) arranged between some elements of the drill string. A measurement indicating the acoustic impedance of the formations is obtained by processing the sensor signal using a function of the tool rotation speed and the depth.
