Hook Load Sensor Drilling

With xact sensing s hls the hook load transducer can be repaired locally.

Hook load sensor drilling. The torque sensor is a clamp fig. The hook load is the sum of all the weight hanging on the hook during a drilling operation this hook is normally attached to the bottom of the travelling block and has a j shape to make it easier to hang other equipment like the swivel kelly elevator bails or even topdrive units. 5 that sits around the main power cable to the top drive system tds. Digital drilling data systems llc is a houston tx based company specializing in software and hardware systems for oil gas drilling operations.

Hook load sensor xact sensing llc was founded in 1999 to provide products services and solutions for challenging measurement and control problems. We offer three types of hook load sensors and two types of depth encoders which all plug and play into our usb connected data box. Sira 13atex2365x and iecex sir 13 0148x. The measured output depends on how tight the sensor is attached to the drilling line and thus can be infinitely adjusted for the different spans required.

Hook load is a very important parameter used during drilling operations to control the weight on bit and to assess possible deteriorations of the downhole conditions such as poor hole cleaning or excessive tortuosity. A process that could take up to 6 weeks now can be completed within minutes. However the quality of the hook load measurement is often regarded as quite poor. Some forces that might reduce the weight include friction along the wellbore wall especially in deviated wells and importantly buoyant forces on the drillstring caused by its immersion.

Software that runs the oil and gas drilling industry. Service companies usually bring their measurement packages which include a clamp line tensiometer clt able to measure log the weight of the drill string. The ability to repair the hls in the field reduces down time on the rig produces cost savings and enhances drilling efficiency. Drill monitor sensors monitor surface revolutions per minute rpm values rotary torque and hook load.

It works on the principle of the deformation of hall effect chips by the magnetic field produced around the. Our weight indicator systems use load cells sensors or chart recorders to accurately define tension weight or compression. The initial range of products came from our partner in japan shanoc. Measurement while drilling mwd and measurement while logging mwl require a lot of information including hook load.
