Today's drilling devices output massive amounts of data! On top of that, you can sometimes have 2, 3, even up to 10 systems all
outputting data in different formats. Can you imagine, 10 systems outputting related data in different formats and you're stuck with analyzing and comparing this data?
With this in mind, at Erdos Miller we have created the WAVE application: a data analysis software package that analyzes both real-time and recorded memory for drilling devices. WAVE provides the user with a graphical workbench which brings all this data together
automatically into one consistent graphical work-space. WAVE SOFTWARE
Some of the features you may enjoy the most from WAVE are: You can load data from different sources and manufacturers. You can easily analyze data visually. The time correction feature. You can create PDF reports easily.

Letter From the Houston Chapter Director |
During 2017 the Houston Chapter brought industry professionals from both the
service provider/manufacturer and operator community together to identify improvement opportunities for improving the performance reliability of directional drilling BHA’s. Workshops focusing on Rotary Steerable systems and Creating a High Capacity BHA have certainly be the highlights of the IADD Houston chapter this year. Individual presentations discussing Data Management Systems, LWD Data Capability, and PDM Elastomer Technology have contributed to round off the systems
approach. Our final event for 2017 will be the Clay Shoot on Dec 1st. We hope to greet all of the “Shooters” for a great social event.
During 2018 we will continue to focus on maintaining and building a technology focused platform that will provide all attendees with the ability to
share and discuss the latest technology and process developments and learn how these changes can be applied to reduce exploration cost and improve performance. During the first quarter we will explore latest development in well planning software and methodology, discuss near bit data measurements, and downhole drilling data acquisition systems. Throughout 2018 the Houston chapter will invite drilling contractors to explore opportunities to link real time downhole date with surface data systems in to provide a comprehensive drilling optimization tool. Other exciting subjects will be the mitigation of drilling dynamics, updating Geo Steering technology, and improving equipment capability and reliability with the expanding trend in increasing rig capacity. IADD would like
to wish you and your family an enjoyable Holiday season.
Sincerely, Roland Illerhaus |

Donations
Requested Over the years, the IADD has partnered with Operation Military Embrace, Inc., (OME)—a Texas-based tax-exempt/non-profit 501(c)(3) military support organization that’s helps America’s seriously injured and ill Warriors and their families in their time of need—through the donation of cash and household items (toys, kitchen items, linens, etc.).
This year, we’d like to invite attendees to our summer shooting event and Houston
chapter luncheons to bring items (clothes, gift cards, food items, etc.), which will then be given to wounded service members at Camp Hope (Houston campus for the PTSD Foundation), as well as other private and VA facilities throughout the year.

Directional Drilling Minute: Drillscan |
This video, created from WellScan software, shows a typical case study for unconventional wells. The
software simulates the drilling rotary phase along the lateral, where one sees first the vertical phase with no apparent buckling, then the curve with strong side forces and bending stress along the pipe, and at last the lateral section where buckling occurs in a washout section. Note the effect of WOB on buckling, going from 20 to 45klbs. WellScan software is the only commercial software able to run post buckling analysis in 3D wells without using FEA analysis (computation time greatly
reduced!). |
As part of our ongoing drive
to highlight the accomplishments of and technologies utilized by our Corporate Sponsors who strive to present the clearest most concise description of their capabilities to you their customers and peers. Please take a moment to read this article by LORD corporation.
Lord Corporation: Who We Are As a member and corporate sponsor of IADD, it was a privilege to share our
expertise on the topic of MWD shock absorbers at the September luncheon as part of the high-capacity BHA series. Although LORD is becoming known, in the IADD membership, for our downhole shock and vibration attenuation products, our motion and vibration control solutions actually stem back almost 100 years to the aerospace and industrial sectors... |
