  • Detecting a mud motor stall
    Patent number: 11821272
    Abstract: There is described an automated method of detecting a mud motor stall. During a drilling operation, a potential mud motor stall is determined to have occurred, based on drilling parameter data. In response thereto, potential mud motor stall data obtained from the drilling parameter data is compared to stored mud motor stall data associated with mud motor stalls. Based on the comparison, the potential mud motor stall may be confirmed or not confirmed as a mud motor stall.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of controlling a drilling operation, and rotating control device mitigator
    Patent number: 10876390
    Abstract: There is described a method of controlling a drilling operation. A pipe joint is determined to be entering a rotating control device (RCD). In response to determining that the pipe joint is entering the RCD, a weight-on-bit (WOB) setpoint is increased so as to increase a measured WOB. After increasing the WOB setpoint, the pipe joint is determined to be exiting the RCD. In response to determining that the pipe joint is exiting the RCD, the WOB setpoint is decreased so as to decrease the measured WOB.
