Real-Time Limit & Force Monitors & Fatigue Monitor

The Limit Monitor and Force Monitor use real-time Orion data to display the CT status.

The Limit Monitor displays the CT status both above the stripper (green dot) and below the stripper (red dot). If either dot passes outside the red ellipse a visual and audible warning is given to the operator.

The Force Monitor plots the CT depth and weight against a graph of predicted weights, for running in hole, and pulling out of the hole. You can also view minimum and maximum surface weights.

You can drag a zoom window on the graphs for a closer view, and print hard copy. The Monitor displays can either be set to remain "on top" while working on other programs or they can be minimized.

Both Monitors also run with the Data Simulator and in Playback Mode, so you can program various wellsite scenarios for use as operator training exercises.

Displays

Data is read and displayed on screen typically every second.

• Large digital display for ease in viewing at a glance from afar.
• Small digital display for the operator to view when using the computer for other work.
• Strip charts to show trends in the data.
• Data log to show what data has actually been saved to the hard drive.
• Data buffer showing raw data as it comes from the controller.
• Three dimensional well survey path showing the curvature in the well and the current depth.
• Limit, Force, and Fatigue monitors.

Data Processing

All data is processed in memory and written to the database every 10-60 seconds. All preferences can be set by the user and stored.
