The Rig-Hand System Overview

 

The Rig-Hand system finally brings modern information technology to the rig floor. It introduces a new process which adds considerable value to drilling operations by saving time, improving on-site safety and increasing drilling performance.

It’s economic advantage is overwhelming.

The complete Rig-Hand system is a combination of software and hardware designed to become the primary data collection methodology for all downhole equipment information. The system dramatically improves the accuracy, speed and safety of collecting critical measurements, providing the most accurate downhole equipment information available.


The system collects tubing, casing, and drill-pipe tallies as well as Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) dimensions. It quickly and easily produces downhole equipment schematics. Dimensional information can be input manually or by using intrinsically safe, fast and accurate caliper and laser input devices.

 

The mobility offered by the handheld device takes the rig site information collection to the source, thus eliminating the need for manual data re-entry. It frees up valuable personnel to perform other tasks.
 

The Rig-Hand system is designed to work in conjunction with existing drilling information programs such as DIMS™ and WellView™, among others.


The data captured in the handheld device is reliably and easily transferred to a desktop (PC) environment. There it becomes available for local or enterprise error checking, review and presentation. The information can also move manually or automatically into other drilling engineering and reporting applications to be used for a wide variety of engineering and management purposes.
 

A high degree of automated redundancy is built into the system to ensure the integrity of collected information.


The Rig-Hand system will be certified as intrinsically safe (I.S.) for use on the drilling rig. This environment is typically classified as a Zone 1 Class 1 hazardous environment. No other system available on the market is able to perform these functions while operating safely and legally in the rig-floor environment.
