is designed for drilling parameters continuous inspection and recording in real time to provide operational management and optimal trouble-free well-drilling.
GEOSENSOR system is adapted to be combined with the bottom-hole telemetry system (ZTS) ZIS-4ME, Azimut 4-108 used for trajectory monitoring and controlling.
GEOSENSOR system provides an integrated assembly ZTS and GTI including:
• Geological and engineering survey (GTI) operator’s workstation: a PC combined with a surface processing complex ZTS, directional well drilling technologist’s PC and a print device through-local network. Connection with a drill man’s PC – on request.
- Directional well drilling technologist’s workstation is arranged for real-time ZIS-4ME data parameters monitoring (or other telemetry systems parameters after its software matching); for “GEOSENSOR” process-dependent parameters monitoring. Those ones provide an operational management of drilling practices as well as bottomhole assembly location while drilling.
GEOSENSOR system comprises a drilling parameters sensors assembly, driller’s control panel (basic and subsidiary), drilling process recording and controlling software.
1. Drilling parameters sensors:
- hook load sensor (weight sensor);
- tongs-torque indicator;
- inlet flush fluid pressure;
- flush fluid level in tank (quantity – on client’s request);
- draw works shaft counter (depth sensor);
- outlet flush fluid flow indicator;
- inlet flush fluid flow sensor;
- rotor revolutions sensor.
Supplementary sensors may be also included in System set on Client’s request.
2. Driller’s control panel.
It gathers the information from drilling parameters sensors; controls and visually represents the basic drilling process parameters; controls and visually represents the angularity parameters; visually represents the digital and graphic ZTS angularity parameters using LED indicator; displays alarm signals and messages in data line on driller’s PC.
Represented parameters:
Drilling process parameters:
- hook load;
- bit load;
- tongs-torque;
- bottom-hole position;
- depth;
- round-trip velocity;
- inlet flush fluid pressure;
- outlet flush fluid flow;
- inlet flush fluid flow;
- flush fluid level in basic tank;
- flush fluid level in fill-up tank;
- current time;
- data line messages.
ZTS angularity parameters:
- zenith angle;
- azimuth;
- deviator position.

3. Supplementary data display
The supplementary data display represents basic drilling parameters. It is usually installed in the pump section or other section of a drill unit. The system may comprise up to 3 supplementary data display.
Represented parameters:
- inlet flush fluid flow;
- bit load;
- traveling block position relative to the rotary table;
- flush fluid pressure.
4. Software
The system software provides:
- real-time recording, displaying, monitoring of up to 20 basic drilling parameters;
- real-time recording, displaying, monitoring of current ZTS data while drilling;
- efficient report-making on well drilling process – on Client’s request and for well drilling management;
- processing, viewing, printing of technological information on drilling process;
- forming, printing of output cumulative diagrams;
- parameters saving in database.
GEOSENSOR system may create the basis for geological and engineering survey (GTI) station.
