  • Patent number: 10452794
    Abstract: Examples of techniques for deployment risk management are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method may include: receiving, by a processing device, operating parameters for simulating a well operation job; simulating, by the processing device, the well operation job based on the operating parameters to generate a script for performing the well operation job, wherein the script comprises an ordered plurality of tasks and corresponding task parameters; and performing the well operation job based on the script generated by the simulation.

  • Patent number: 10301892
    Abstract: A method for operating a wireline winch configured to convey a wireline coupled to a downhole tool disposed in a borehole penetrating the earth includes: receiving a first cumulative surface wireline tension limit for downhole wireline components; calculating a second cumulative surface wireline tension limit for surface components using wireline speed and surface equipment data; combining the first and the second cumulative surface wireline tension limits to provide a total cumulative surface wireline tension limit as a function of depth; presenting the total cumulative surface wireline tension limit as a function of depth and operating wireline tension values as a function of depth for the downhole tool to a user; performing an assessment of the operating wireline tension values as a function of depth versus the total cumulative surface wireline tension limit as a function of depth; and operating the wireline winch using the assessment and a winch controller.

  • Publication number: 20190063214
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a system for positioning a section of a tool in a section of a wellbore including a first arm coupled to a motor actuator at a first end and a positioning component at a second end. The system also includes a second arm coupled to a biasing member at a first end and the positioning component at a second end. The motor actuator drives rotation of the first end of the first arm about a rotation axis to change a radial position of the positioning component with respect to a tool axis at the section of the tool.
