The Real Time Advisory System, RTAS, is a ‘vendor neutral’ system that delivers unique
real-time analysis and proactive ‘watches’ resulting in reliable, cost efficient drilling and barrier management operations.
LATEST SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY
PRTS, LLC utilizes a clean-sheet software design premise and the latest Internet technology with highly efficient and secure data management. User function can be customized with stand-alone solutions for the rig, or any monitoring platform.
The industry has a unique, growing set of problems that require unique and effective solutions:
• Experience levels at the rig site and the office have decreased significantly.
• The pace of drilling and complexity of wells is increasing while experience is decreasing.
• Cost pressures and metrics drive aggressive well plans and faster well drilling rates.
• Major incident rates are not decreasing, they are increasing, especially in the US.
BENEFITS OF THE REAL TIME ADVISORY SYSTEM, RTAS:
REDUCE AVOIDABLE LOST TIME
A primary goal of RTAS is to produce reductions in Avoidable Lost Time (ALT) commonly as high as 25-50% of total drilling time. RTAS utilizes forward looking ‘watches’ as a proactive means to maintain a stable wellbore.
RTAS: key features:
• Real-time monitoring, analysis, and reporting of actual well data compared to imported pre-drill models
• Pore pressure and fracture gradient
• Torque and drag, Hydraulics
• Automatic notifications when well data deviates from modeled, company set limits, or regulatory thresholds
• Comprehensive audit log / trail of well conditions, crew actions, and system notifications
• Analog capable for data imports
PROACTIVE MONITORING
A PROACTIVE, unique real-time monitoring and analysis system designed to:
• Identify evolving drilling hazards impacting downhole wellbore conditions
• Provide up to hours of forewarning using ‘watch’ alerts
• Allows unique company/user customization for proprietary needs
• Overcome the ‘what you see is what you get’ in existing conventional systems
• Provides interface and compliance with sections of the 2016 BSEE Well Control Rule
RTAS is designed as a proactive system providing analysis and forewarnings.
The RTAS system continuously monitors and analyzes real-time data that signal initiation of an evolving hazard such as stuck pipe, cuttings loading, fluid barrier degradation, mass imbalance, and kicks.
WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH HISTORICAL ANALYSIS?
What can be done with Historical Analysis?
AN INDUSTRY FIRST
• Upload and analyze WTSML data from any vendor from a typical historical well in moments
enabling:
• Post appraisal, root cause analysis
• Real-time well analysis
• Design practices and procedures
• The understanding of applied wellbore physics in response to subsurface trends and uncertainties
• Customize and create specific simulation and training templates and venues
THE KEY TO IMPROVEMENT
Leading KPI’s: ‘Watches’ identify deteriorating wellbore conditions facilitating:
• Measuring Avoidable Lost Time (ALT): Intervention Action Time (T1)
• Measuring the time for Intervention Action (T2)
• Measuring the time taken, if a hazards event occurs, to return to the well plan (T3)
