Double click on the fields in the Value column to edit them.

Get from slide sheet: Uses the slide sheet to automatically fill the Daily Activities grid with rotary drilling and slide drilling activities. For more information on the slide sheet – see 6.7 – Slide Sheets.

The function will pull in any activity that occurs later than the most recent entry in the Daily Activities grid, and will not overwrite any existing activities. Prior to selecting the function, make sure that the most recent entry contains the desired phase and BHA. It will use the assigned BHA to access the correct slide sheet, and any entries that are pulled in will use the selected phase. Data will only be populated from the slide sheet that has the same date and legitimate time stamps as the daily report in question.

Any gaps between the End Time of one activity and the Start Time of the following activity will be filled in with the activity “10D: Survey & Connection”. Rotary drilling and slide drilling activities will add their drilling parameters recorded in the slide sheet to the Comments column.

6.4.1.2 - Daily Activity

The Daily Activity grid. is where the user can view and edit the directional driller’s activity record for the selected daily report. It can be viewed by clicking on the on the left of the report.

An existing activity can be deleted by clicking on the icon to the left of the row.

A new activity can be added by entering the Activity Code/Description, Start Time and End Time in the row at the bottom of the Daily Activity grid. The start time entered must match with the end time of the most recent activity.

Once a new activity has been entered, the user should fill in the remaining fields in the row. Fields can be edited by double clicking, and serve the following functions:

Activity/Description: Double click on either the Activity or Description cell to pick the activity from the dropdown box. The user should select the activity code that best describes the activity being recorded. Activities are used to categorise activity on the rig, including drilling activity, which then allows the Web Portal to track data such as drilling and circulating hours. This data can then be used in reports and in KPI tracking. The available choices are set in the Activities section of the Operator page – see 5.1.2 – Activities.

Start Time: The start time of the activity in 24HR hh:mm format. Double click to edit. First activity of the day should start at midnight 00:00. This will default to the end time of the previous activity. If the end time of the previous activity does not match with the start time of the current activity, they will be highlighted in red to alert the user to the time gap.

End Time: The end time of the activity in 24HR hh:mm format. Double click to edit. If the activity ends at midnight, it should be 24:00. If the start time of the following activity does not match with the end time of the current activity, they will be highlighted in red to alert the user to the time gap.

Hrs: The difference between the start time and end time of the current activity. This is automatically calculated and cannot be edited.

Depth From: The bottom hole depth at the start of the activity. This can be double clicked to edit, but only for drilling activities (codes starting with a ‘2’) or the 3Z sidetrack/depth adjustment activity. If the depth to value of the previous activity does not match with the depth from of the current activity, they will be highlighted in red to alert the user to the depth gap. Non-drilling activities inherit the depth to value of the previous activity, and cannot be edited.

Depth To: The bottom hole depth at the end the activity. This can be double clicked to edit, but only for drilling activities (codes starting with a ‘2’) or the 3Z sidetrack/depth adjustment activity. If the depth from value of the following activity does not match with the depth to of the current activity, they will be highlighted in red to alert the user to the depth gap. Non-drilling activities simply copy the depth from value.

CL: The difference between the depth from and depth to of the current activity. This is automatically calculated and cannot be edited.

Phase: The drilling phase that the well is currently in. Phases are used in the creation of KPI tracking charts. Double click to edit using the available choices in the dropdown box. The available choices are set in the Phases section of the Operator page – see 5.1.3 – Phases.

BHA: The BHA currently in hole. Double click to edit. The available BHAs are set in the Drill String page for the selected well – see 6.9 - Drill String.

Comments: The user should input a description of the activity and any other operationally pertinent events occurring between the start and end time, which will then be included in the daily report. If the user clicks on the Get From Slide Sheet option, then drilling activity pulled from the slide sheet will automatically fill the comments box with drilling parameter data.

6.4.2 - Daily Activity Editor

The Daily Activity Editor allows the user to view all the daily activities for the well in one chronological table. The user can make edits to the table in the same way as the Daily Activity grid. The table can be exported in Excel format by right clicking anywhere on the grid and selecting Export.

The Daily Activity editor is a useful tool for performing quality control on your daily activities, as it will highlight in red the following errors:

Activities where the start time does not match the end time of the activity proceeding it.
Activities where the depth from does not match the depth to of the activity proceeding it.
If the selected BHA does not match the BHA of the activities above and below it.
If the selected phase does not match the phase of the activities above and below it.

An existing activity can be deleted by clicking on the icon to the left of the row.

A new activity can be added by entering the Date, Activity Code/Description, Start Time and End Time in the row at the bottom of the page. The start time entered must match with the end time of the most recent activity. Once a new activity has been entered, the user should fill in the remaining fields in the row. See the Daily Activity section above for details on each field.

Click on the icon in the bottom right of the page to open the edit menu, which has the following functions:

Refresh: Refreshes all data on the page.

Get from Slide Sheet: This function works the same as the Get from Slide Sheet function in the Daily Report Options (see above) but it is not restricted to a single slide sheet or a single day. Instead, it will pull in activity from all slide sheets in chronological order.

Any gaps between slide sheets will be filled with the activity code 24A:Other and the comment “Change BHA”. Note that this function will not automatically add 6O:Pick Up BHA or 6P:Lay Down BHA activities.

6.4.3 - Daily Reports Charts

The top of the page is split into four charts – Depth v Time , Phase Footage, Phase Hours and Phase ROP. Hovering over the left or right hand side the page will display a < or > icon. Clicking on these icons will cycle through the charts.

Right click on each chart to copy or export it as an image.

The four charts are described in the sections below:

6.4.3.1 - Depth v Time

The Depth/Time chart consists of two plots overlayed on each other.

Firstly there is a standard Depth v Days line plot. The X-axis represents time, while the left hand Y-axis represents the total hole depth. By default the line is coloured by the phase at the time of drilling, and the vertical blue lines represent a BHA change. Hovering over the line will display a readout of the depth and time at that point, as well as additional activity information.

Secondly there is a bar chart showing the total distance drilled each day. Use the right hand Y-axis to measure, or hover over each bar to see the exact amount drilled when rotating (green) or sliding (orange).

The user can zoom in/out of the chart by scrolling the mouse wheel.

In the top right of the chart there are some additional display options. Hover over the icon to display the following options:

Show/Hide Bit Depth: Displays a line for bit depth on the chart, allowing the user to see trips in and out of hole.

Show/Hide Hole Depth: Displays a line for the cumulative hole depth.

Activating either of these options will display an additional option. Hover over the icon to colour the lines by either phase, BHA or by activity.

6.4.3.2 - Phase Footage

The Phase Footage page shows the distance drilled during each phase of the selected well.

The X-Axis represents distance drilled. The Y-Axis list the phase code of each phase recorded in the daily activities of the selected well. The bars for each BHA are coloured to show the split between rotary drilling (green) and slide drilling (orange).

6.4.3.3 - Phase Hours

The Phase Hours page shows the drilling hours of each phase of the selected well.

The X-Axis represents time spent drilling in hours. The Y-Axis list the phase code of each phase recorded in the daily activities of the selected well. The bars for each BHA are coloured to show the split between rotary drilling (green) and slide drilling (orange).
