K&M Technology’s Proprietary Software Platform ERA (Extended Reach Architecture) Wellpath Builder feature builds well paths from scratch using our built-in design profiles. Just choose your desired profile, enter simple parameters, like desired DLS, TVD and Inclination, and ERA calculates the rest for you. Add targets to drive the design and tie into existing surveys. Proximity …
K&M Technology’s Proprietary Software Platform ERA’s (Extended Reach Architecture) Downhole MSE feature can infer downhole mechanical specific energy (MSE) using surface parameters by backing out the drill string’s contribution to surface-measured loads. ERA can also utilize downhole measurement, allowing users to compare two independent methods of calculating MSE at the bit. This approach yields unique …
K&M Technology’s Proprietary Software Platform ERA’s (Extended Reach Architecture) VME Limit plots show the maximum permissible surface tension and surface torque limits and are plotted alongside expected loads to give engineers and field personnel confidence that operations will not exceed specified pipe limitations, even under complex loading situations.
K&M Technology Group’s ERA (Extended Reach Architect) Software Driller’s View plots allow the user to see expected loads at the surface as the bit depth increases? This helps identify any discrepancies from normal, which leads to early trouble detection.
K&M Technology Group’s ERA (Extended Reach Architect) Software has Integrated Geomechanics – When basic log data is input, users can build their own mechanical earth model to calculate earth stresses and rock properties, or users can directly enter this data from third party MEMs. ERA will then compute geomechanical limits for any well path. Calculated …
There seems to be a belief that doglegs are “smoothed out” while drilling and especially after casing runs. In the example below, a well was sidetracked due to a shallow fish that was left in hole. The well was a deep TVD well with high tension loads across the shallow doglegs at the sidetrack point. …
Using Auto-fill equipment reduces surge pressures and mitigate risk of mud losses during tight clearance casing deployment? High surge pressure can result in mud losses and formation damage, which can jeopardize successful cement placement and zonal isolation. Accurate modeling of surge pressures with open and closed string set up during planning stage will help you …
K&M Technology Group’s ERA (Extended Reach Architect) Software Snapshot View plots allow the user to see loads throughout the string or hole at a specific bit depth. This helps determine exactly where a failure may occur so you can easily design against it.
K&M Technology Group’s ERA (Extended Reach Architect) Software focuses on a Holistic Design Structure- ERA’s unique configuration keeps the user centered over the entire well. This approach allows the user to develop the well as a system, rather than focusing on piecemeal components only.
K&M Technology Group’s ERA (Extended Reach Architect) Software Execution Mode allows a user to input measured operational data that feeds into ERAs calculation engines, allowing direct comparison between modeled and theoretical loads, normalized for varying parameters as the well is drilled. Loads are also forecasted to TD to allow real-time decision making. This is the …
