H&P GLOBAL GEOMAGNETIC MODELS
Effortless survey management solutions by the proven industry leader
Reducing Uncertainty in Wellbore Placement
With directional drilling in today’s market, well placement is of ever-increasing importance in the process of successfully drilling a well. Well placement by Measurements While Drilling (MWD) uses the direction of the Earth’s gravity and magnetic field as a natural reference frame. For years, the industry standard used low resolution global models for this reference, such as the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF-13). These models only captured a fraction of the true complexity of the Earth’s magnetic field, leading to inaccurate MWD corrections and consequently large uncertainties in the wellbore’s final placement.
Large uncertainties in the final wellbore placement lead to many issues in the life cycle of the well. Improper placement can lead to a loss in reservoir production or collision issues with adjacent wells. To help reduce these uncertainties and help alleviate the issues posed by them, H&P recognized the need for higher resolution models of the Earth’s magnetic field. Allowing for more accurate MWD corrections while drilling the well. To accomplish this, H&P offers a full suite of services to reduce this uncertainty so every customer has an option that meets their needs. One of those is highly accurate global geomagnetic reference models.
Global Geomagnetic Reference Models
H&P recognized the need for more accurate global geomagnetic reference models versus the industry standard. We also realize not every client has the same needs or budget. With that in mind, we produce the MagVAR Standard Definition Global Geomagnetic Model (MVSD) and the MagVAR High Definition Global Geomagnetic Model (MVHD). The MVSD is a spherical harmonic model of the Earth’s main field built from global magnetic data collected via satellites. H&P’s modeling captures the Earth’s main field and crustal anomalies as small as 300 km in size, making the MVSD a significant improvement over the industry standard IGRF model. The MVSD meets the conditions of the MWD tool code. The MVHD is an ellipsoidal harmonic model built from global satellite magnetic data plus near-surface magnetic data sets. This allows the MVHD to capture the Earth’s main field and crustal anomalies down to a resolution of 40 km. The increased resolution of the MVHD is a great solution compared to other models in the industry. The MVHD will satisfy the conditions of the MWD+HRGM tool code. The MVSD and MVHD models are updated annually to capture the secular changes to the magnetic field and implement modeling improvements.
REDUCE THE ELLIPSES OF UNCERTAINTY
By integrating the MVSD or MVHD models into your workflow you will reduce the Ellipses of Uncertainty (EOU). Our software now has the ability to use the MWD or MWD+HRGM tool codes when planning and drilling a well. Benefits include increased separation factors when anticollision planning, reservoir production and safety.
EASE OF USE
H&P delivers each model with our global calculator. A user-friendly interface used to extract single or multiple points along a well path file from either MVSD or MVHD at your chosen date. H&P can also make the models available as a plug-in for your well planning or directional drilling software of choice, making this a seamless integration to your workflow.
TOOL CODE REFERENCE MODEL APPROX EOU±
MWD + IGRF IGRF +10%
MWD SD 0 % (STANDARD)
MWD + HRGM HD -10%
PROOF IN THE FLIGHT LINE
At H&P, we compare our MVSD and MVHD models to proprietary high-resolution aeromagnetic surveys. By doing this, we provide proof in our modeling. These surveys represent Earth’s true magnetic field. As seen above, the MVSD model captures the overall trend of the Earth’s main field. The higher resolution MVHD model begins to include some of the high-resolution features in the Earth’s magnetic field generated by the crustal component.

Survey Management
REMOVE UNCERTAINTY WITH DATA AS YOU DRILL
Drilling practices alone are not enough to accurately deliver a high quality wellbore, as success is equally dependent on the accuracy of the wellbore survey. H&P’s Survey Management increases the accuracy and consistency of how we measure boreholes, enabling the delivery of any outcome that relies on knowledge of the wellbore position or shape. These outcomes include landing a curve, properly spacing laterals, safely performing collision avoidance operations, and updating well plans and geological models to accurately reflect data that was measured while drilling.
Accurate, Consistent, and Reliable Wellbore Surveys
By reducing the magnitude of survey errors commonly encountered during drilling operations and through the early identification and elimination of gross errors related to the surveying process, Survey Management improves the accuracy, consistency and reliability of wellbore positioning operations.
H&P provides a pre-job report confirming basic well details and aligning operations on initialization of survey instruments. During drilling, real-time corrections of the survey data are performed and once the well is finished a post-job analysis of what occurred is provided so that operators can have greater confidence that survey execution was performed to their expectations. This helps eliminate gross errors that may directly contribute to major adverse events such as sidetracks, missed landing points and wellbore collisions. Reducing gross errors will in turn reduce the frequency of those negative outcomes.
Reducing survey uncertainty can:
· Expand the safe operating envelope available to a driller when performing collision avoidance operations
· Drive more precise spacing of laterals
· Enable more accurate total vertical depth (TVD) estimation both when landing the curve and drilling the lateral
SMOOTH OPERATIONAL PROCESS ENABLES PAINLESS IMPLEMENTATION
· Automated quality control and data processing
· API connections to third party software
· Trusted, technical experts provide procedures and best practices to help ensure survey success
· Operations to scale without compromising service quality

STALLASSIST™ SOFTWARE
DETECT, MITIGATE, AND RECOVER FROM DOWNHOLE STALLS
95% of operators experience motor/rotary steerable system (RSS) stalls downhole. Frequent stalls can result in premature bit and BHA failures that lead to unplanned trips, tools lost in hole, sidetracks or cement plugs – and in some cases plugging and abandoning a well if the mitigation efforts are unsuccessful. H&P StallAssist™ software was designed not only to detect downhole stalls, but to mitigate and help recover from them. By increasing bit and BHA reliability this technology can help decrease sidetracks or lost in hole occurrences and increase motor and bit longevity, translating into more footage drilled per BHA and reduced time to target.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
FEATURES ADVANTAGES OUTCOME
As pressure is reaching the stall rating, the system continually and simultaneously evaluates several factors; pressure, the speed in which the pressure is rising and motor specifications Dynamic, real-time calculations prevent the motor from ever seeing the strain of pressure that is outside motor limitations Detects and actions a stall much faster than a human can feasibly do, stopping significant wear from excessive force on elastomer and mechanical motor components
Within in just a couple of seconds of detection, StallAssist immediately and automatically executes the full sequence to react to a stall Consistent and immediate action. Without StallAssist software, a driller would have to action each step in the process; See steps 1-7 above. The driller can now focus on the full spectrum of drilling operation activities Helps eliminate delayed or inconsistent reactions that put additional strain on the motor, reducing premature BHA failure and associated replacement costs
Configured based on operators operational preferences and practices. As an example, pumps can be slowed or stopped after stall detection Allows for quicker recovery of electrical and mechanical systems Quickly resume operations, reducing downtime
Unlike other industry offering, StallAssist is a software-based system No downhole tools are required Avoid additional risk and cost associated with downhole tools
StallAssist software detects and mitigates stalls during both rotating and sliding activity Not dependent on drilling method Confidence throughout the drilling process
After 2 years of testing StallAssist™ software: No Stall Undetected. No False Detections.
