Corva's platform offers a suite of applications designed to provide actionable insights into torque and drag management:
- Hookload Broomstick Plot: Identify poor hole cleaning and reaming issues with real-time plots showing pick-up, slack-off, and rotating-off-bottom hookload trends compared to predicted models.
- Torque Broomstick Plot: Monitor wellbore conditions with real-time friction factor analysis and torque trend plots, comparing actual rotating-off-bottom torque to predicted models.
- Buckling Load Analysis: Assess potential buckling in the drill string by plotting effective axial load against sinusoidal (2D) and helical (3D) buckling limits.
- Von Mises Stress: Evaluate current drillstring stress conditions in real-time, breaking down axial, torsional, hoop, radial, and bending stresses compared to technical limits.
- Friction Factor Calibration: Apply and compare pre-defined and user-defined friction factors for casing, open hole slack off, open hole pickup, and open hole rotating scenarios.
Proven Success in the Field
Operators utilizing Corva's Torque & Drag software have reported significant improvements in drilling performance:
- High-Pressure, High-Temperature Reservoirs: An operator saved approximately $300,000 by using Corva's real-time Torque & Drag app to identify and mitigate problematic hookload trends, enabling successful installation of production equipment without issue.
- Offshore Extended-Reach Drilling: An offshore operator leveraged Corva's Torque & Drag app to automatically generate physics-based models, enhancing monitoring and preventing stuck pipe incidents, thereby streamlining operations.
