OUR EDGEANALYTICS + CONTROLSWe’ve drilled some of the world’s most complex wells. That’s why we know that every well you drill will benefit from the sophisticated data streaming and analysis of Edge Analytics partnered with the Edge Controls advanced rig performance package.

Edge AnalyticsData-Based Decision-Making

We have moved beyond “flat” data interpretation to reliable insight into drilling operations.

With the power of Ensign’s Global Network, our rigs have a 24/7 data connection that never stops delivering machine data and drilling performance data to our enterprise servers. Using sophisticated analytics, we then pull meaningful data out of the noise and compare it to theoretical models and “known, good examples.” The result is reliable insight for decision making.

On every well, Ensign’s Well Optimization Personnel mobilize through a feedback loop, remaining in contact with drillers at the rig and managers in the field and office. This includes daily reports comparing KPIs from rig to rig, well to well and driller to driller.

Edge ControlsDrilling To Your Well PlanWell plans have become more complicated, requiring advanced controls to stay on track.

We know that downhole issues with stick-slip, vibration and other friction related problems could quickly lead to deviations from a well plan. These effects can be reduced with our advanced Stick-Slip Mitigation and Quill Oscillation software.

AutoDriller is then able to optimize the rig’s control mode to more accurately and consistently keep the bit on bottom with optimum drilling parameters. Edge Controls is available on every AC rig in our fleet.

Edge Controls calculates optimum conditions that make our drillers even better at what they do.

Ensign’s state-of-the-art software collects and delivers the right data, at the right velocity and in the right volume to a wide set of well-orchestrated analytics.

We’re in the age of big data. Drilling operations generate over one gigabyte of data per rig every day. The secret to drilling success is not how much data you collect, but how you use the data to improve performance on every well.

AutoDrillerAutoDriller uses advanced algorithms to optimize the desired control mode, ensuring the correct WOB, DP, Torque or ROP are held for the duration of the stand. The system continuously calculates and then switches to the optimum control mode to ensure smooth and consistent drilling. Drillers have sophisticated AutoDriller tuning capabilities at their fingertips.

Stick-Slip MitigationStick-Slip is present in about 50% of on-bottom time rotary drilling and can cause the bit and BHA to completely stop and accelerate three to five times the surface RPM. Our Stick-Slip Mitigation software compensates for the conditions that lead to stick-slip, widening the drilling envelope.

Quill OscillationThis software aids in sliding and curve build segments of a well by rocking the drill string back and forth according to parameters set by the driller. This rocking reduces the friction with the wellbore and produces a more efficient transfer of weight to the drill bit, supporting directional steering.

Meanwhile, Ensign’s Well Optimization Personnel are in constant contact with the rig and office experts in a cycle of continuous improvement.

The Ensign Edge The Ensign Edge is Ensign’s advanced performance management process, which includes Edge Analytics and Edge Controls. The Ensign Edge integrates real-time data capture and advanced analytics reporting with state-of-the-art rig performance controls to unlock value, enable decision-making, and drive continuous improvement.

QuarterlyPerformance Review

Edge Analytics streams rig data 24/7 and then uses machine learning algorithms to pull out meaningful insights to improve drilling performance.

Edge Controls includes separate software modules, designed by Ensign to seamlessly integrate with our rig equipment. Stick-Slip Mitigation and Quill Oscillation work to alleviate downhole challenges that can reduce bit performance and cause deviation from the well plan. With these effects minimized, AutoDriller optimizes the rig’s control mode, so drilling can follow the well plan as closely as possible.

Meanwhile, Ensign’s Well Optimization Personnel are in constant contact with the rig and office experts in a cycle of continuous improvement.
