1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This panel is used to acquire and display depth and tension data from a wireline logging winch unit. The panel provides the operator a means to set and make adjustments to the data as necessary. Depth is displayed from data provided from an encoder mounted on a measuring device. The tension data is provided by a load pin and is also passed through to the acquisition system. The panel will operate with both the Kerr AM5K Dual Wheel Measuring device and AMS100 depth measuring device.
It is designed to be a drop in replacement for the current SDDP-A or SDDP-B panel. It provides the same functionality, footprint, signal/control interfaces, and input/output connectors used by the SDDP. In addition to the GPIB interface, the panel also includes some additional functionality such as an encoder quadrature and analog tension output to drive Cased Hole Interface Panel (CHIP) in LOGIQ-CH system.
The panel consists of three main components, the real time acquisition board, the GPIB
interface processor board, and the PC. The acquisition board provides power to and processes the signals from the encoders, load pin, and magnetic mark detector. This board operates independent from the PC and is instantly on when power is applied. It also is connected to displays for depth and tension. This allows depth and tension to be displayed immediately on power up and always be displayed regardless of the PC status. The PC uses an Intel based high speed processor running MS Windows XP embedded. The PC includes a color touch screen for operator input and command entry. The PC is Ethernet ready for connection to the internet for remote display and control. The GPIB interface processor board receives and transmits data and commands from the acquisition board and the Halliburton logging system.

NOTE: do not use Pipe Stretch Enabled to determine the encoder wheel calibration factors. This will be covered later in this section. Refer to: Determining Encoder Wheel Calibration Factors. The following is the list of parameters that must be accurate for proper depth control Using magnetic mark correction: 2.2.1.1. Good marks on a seasoned cable: Rule-of-thumb – a cable is effectively seasoned after 30 pulls at maximum anticipated tension. An unseasoned cable will permanently stretch during a logging run resulting in the winch operator pulling in more cable than was let out to reach the top of the well. The magnetic mark correction algorithm in the WSDP will NOT correct depth accurately in this scenario. This also applies to inaccurate magnetic mark placement on the cable. NOTE: If the operator knows that he must work with an unseasoned cable there are several things that can be done to manually attempt to correct for the depth
Benchmark Wireline Products AMS4A043 PANEL Rev. A May 2010 Page 8 of 83
inaccuracy. It is important to note that the determination of proper depth with an unseasoned cable will inherently be inaccurate. This will be discussed later in this section. Refer to: Working With An Unseasoned Cable. 2.2.1.2. Accurate Cable, Mud, and Tool Weight Parameters: The WSDP software builds a theoretical magnetic mark table based on Cable Weight, Cable Volume, Cable Stretch Coefficient, Mud Weight, and Tool Weight. CAUTION: it is important to note that if any of the above parameters are changed, the theoretical magnetic mark table is re-built and the magnetic mark corrections that the WSDP has performed are zeroed and depth is changed accordingly. Therefore, it is recommended that all parameters are set at the top of the well. If any parameters must be changed, for example, at T.D. make a note of the depth before changing the parameter and then perform a Set Depth command to change the depth back to where it was. Also, keep in mind that the logging system sends the Tool Weight command to the WSDP after exiting the Logging Setup Menu and if the new Tool Weight is different from the old Tool Weight, the theoretical magnetic mark table will be re-built and the magnetic mark correction will be zeroed and depth will change accordingly. Parameters for Built-in Cable Sizes The WSDP software includes typical parameters for eight (8) built-in cable sizes. These are provided for convenience and may not exactly match the particular cable being used. In the case that the operator needs to change a parameter because it does not match the cable being used, the operator must choose cable type ‘Other’ first and then make the necessary parameter changes. Note that the theoretical magnetic mark table is re-built every time that one of these parameters is changed. Theoretical Magnetic Mark Table The table can be viewed (version 2.04 and up) for verification purposes. Go to the Setup – Stretch Parameters – View/Save Profile Table. Several examples follow: For default parameters the theoretical cable stretch at 10,000 Ft is: 4.38 Ft. This means that if the first valid mark was detected at zero (0) feet depth, a mark will be detected at 10,004.38 Ft. If the mark at this depth is slightly shallower or deeper, the WSDP will automatically correct the depth such that the mark is at 10,004.38 Ft. NOTE: The maximum correction allowed for each mark is +/- ½ the Mark Window Width. Also, note that the correction is gradually implemented by the panel at a rate of 1 Ft/10 Ft of cable travel.
Benchmark Wireline Products AMS4A043 PANEL Rev. A May 2010 Page 9 of 83
Theoretical Magnetic Mark Table Without Pipe Stretch Enabled If pipe stretch is disabled, the table is built to “True Depth”. As an example: Make sure that all parameters are set to default and then disable pipe stretch. Refer to the table again (Go to the Setup – Stretch Parameters – View/Save Profile Table) and note that the theoretical cable stretch at 10,000 Ft is now 10,009.01. The difference in stretch between enabling and disabling pipe stretch is: 10,009.01 Ft. – 10,004.38 Ft. = 4.63 Ft., which is exactly the pipe stretch coefficient used by the WSDP. This coefficient has been accepted by Halliburton as the standard and cannot be changed in the software. Note that this coefficient is defined as a function of the depth squared. For example: The pipe stretch at 1,000 Ft is: 0.05 Ft. and, The pipe stretch at 10,000 Ft is: 4.63 Ft. and, The pipe stretch at 20,000 Ft is: 18.51 Ft. NOTE: enabling pipe stretch results in depth represented shallower than true depth by the WSDP depth panel such that Wireline depth matches pipe depth. In other words, when inserting 10,000 Ft of drill pipe into a well, the bottom of the drill pipe is actually at 10,004.38 Ft. because the pipe stretched. The driller will consider this depth to be nominally 10,000 Ft. and the WSDP depth panel is assumed to match that nominal depth when pipe stretch is enabled even if it is not the true depth. 2.2.1.3. Encoder Wheel Sizes: The Halliburton standard for the encoder wheel circumference is 2 Ft. (.608 meters). An oversized encoder wheel results in depth measurements being shallow and a worn, undersized encoder wheel results in depth measurements being deep. NOTE: it is important to note that when the WSDP is operated in the default mode with magnetic mark correction enabled the fact that the wheels may be slightly oversized or slightly undersized is NOT important for proper depth control. The magnetic mark correction in the WSDP will compensate for this and keep the panel on depth. In other words, the encoder wheel calibration factors that are set in the Setup – Wheel Cals – Wheel1 Factor and Wheel2 Factor menus can be set at 0.0 Ft/1000 Ft and the panel will remain on depth if the magnetic marks and the panel parameters are accurate. Disabling wheel correction accomplishes the same as setting the values to 0.0. NOTE: if the WSDP panel is operated with magnetic mark correction disabled, wheel calibration then becomes the most important factor to determine accurate depth.
Benchmark Wireline Products AMS4A043 PANEL Rev. A May 2010 Page 10 of 83
Remember to enable wheel correction if the intent is to use the WSDP panel with encoder wheel calibration factors. The only time that it is necessary to compensate for oversized or undersized encoder wheels is if the error in wheel size is greater than the WSDP panel’s ability to correct for the error in wheel size. For example, with the default window size of 4 Ft. (+/- 2 Ft), the encoder wheel circumference can vary between 1.98 Ft. and 2.02 Ft. and the WSDP panel will still correct to the proper depth assuming that it catches and corrects to every valid mark. NOTE: the above example is the best case scenario where the WSDP panel catches and corrects to every valid mark on the cable. Since some marks can be weak and missed, the wheel circumference should probably be in the range: 1.995 Ft. -> 2.005 Ft. Determining Whether a Stretch Adjustment is required at T.D.: A stretch adjustment is not necessary in shallow wells with relatively light tool strings and tension pulls and a stretch adjustment is recommended in deep wells with relatively high tension pulls. It is the discretion of the Logging Engineer to make this determination. The theory behind a stretch adjustment is that the WSDP in magnetic mark correction enabled mode has been correcting depth to the marks on the cable according to the theoretical mark table all the way down hole based on a theoretical tension curve. When at T.D. the tool string is then pulled up hole, the tension pull usually rises higher than the theoretical tension calculated for the theoretical mark table. This results in the subsequent magnetic mark corrections actually causing the panel to be slightly off-depth at every mark going up hole. The error diminishes as the tool string gets shallower and, in fact, the tool string will get back to zero (0) depth in the same spot it was before the logging run. An Example to Help Visualize the Need for Stretch Adjustment in a Deep Well: The following example uses approximated numbers and is only intended to help visualize the need for a stretch adjustment at T.D. in a deep well. Example: WSDP panel parameters all set to default … ie …Magnetic Mark and Pipe Stretch enabled, Tool Weight is 1000 Lbs, …etc. The tool string approaches T.D. near 20,000 Ft and tension is 7680 Lbs. The Calculated Cable Stretch is 17.52 Ft. and the Actual Cable Stretch is 17.62 Ft. The hoist operator then stops the winch and begins pulling the tool string up hole and tension increases to 9540 Lbs and the Actual Cable Stretch increases by approximately 20 Ft (37.70 total).
Benchmark Wireline Products AMS4A043 PANEL Rev. A May 2010 Page 11 of 83
NOTE: A phenomenon occurs when first pulling the tool string up hole in that the cable begins moving the encoder wheels, the WSDP panel begins decreasing depth, but, the bottom of the tool string does not move until the extra stretch due to the increased tension is imparted on the cable. For the sake of simplicity in this example, the tool string does not move until the WSDP depth reads 19,980 Ft. AND THE BOTTOM OF THE TOOL STRING IS STILL AT 20,000 FT! If the zone of interest to log is near T.D. and the Logging Engineer wants to be on depth, he then decides to perform a depth adjustment. The steps to perform a Stretch Adjustment follows: Continue traveling up hole at logging speed (for example 20 Ft/Min). Watch the Calculated and Actual Stretch on the WSDP. (these values are also available on the In-Site Logging System Depth Display). The Logging Engineer sees that the Actual Stretch is greater than the Calculated Stretch by approximately 20 Ft. The Logging Engineer issues the command Change Calculated Stretch AND Depth by 20 Ft. The WSDP immediately increases Depth by 20 Ft. The theoretical Magnetic Mark table is re-built using an effective tool string weight of 1000 Lbs + 1860 Lbs = 2860 Lbs. (1860 Lbs is the increase in effective Tool Weight when pulling up hole). The Logging Engineer looks in Setup – Summary – Diff In Wgt Due To Str Adj = 1860 for confirmation that the calculation matches the real world events. The Logging Engineer also looks at the Actual and Calculated Stretch again and notes that they are both approximately 37.50 Ft. The Stretch Adjustment procedure is complete. The hoist operator can now stop, go back to T.D. (which is now at 20,020 Ft) and begin logging up hole and can expect catching good marks (which are now listed as 20 Ft deeper) without having to do anything else on the WSDP depth panel because the Magnetic Mark Window is automatically opened by the Stretch Adjustment command. 2.2.2 Determining Encoder Wheel Calibration Factors To determine what the encoder wheel calibration factors should be for the WSDP panel there are a number of conditions that must be met for the numbers to be meaningful and accurate. Seasoned Cable Accurate magnetic marking on cable Accurate cable, mud, and tool parameters. Magnetic Mark Correction enabled Pipe Stretch disabled Wheel Correction disabled or set both encoder wheel factors to 0.0
Benchmark Wireline Products AMS4A043 PANEL Rev. A May 2010 Page 12 of 83
Dynamic Stretch disabled Vertical well free of obstructions Constant line speed (down hole preferable) At least 1000 Ft. of travel (catch at least 10 valid marks, for example) Encoder 1 enabled Encoder 2 disabled Once all of the previously listed conditions are met and the tool string is down hole 1000+ Ft. Stop the winch and view the encoder 1 factor by going to the Setup – Encoders – Encoder1 Cal Fac display. The factor is calculated as follows: Encoder1 Cal Factor = (corrected depth - raw depth 1) / corrected depth * 1000 This procedure should be repeated again with all previously listed conditions except with Encoder 2 enabled and encoder 1 disabled. 2.2.3 Dual Encoder Algorithm The WSDP differs from the SDDP with respect to disabling a bad encoder. The SDDP will automatically disable a bad encoder if it lags the good encoder in depth by 6 inches. This results in an error of up to 3 inches before the bad encoder is disabled (the SDDP averages the two encoder depths). Additionally the SDDP will not re- enable the bad encoder if it starts working again. The WSDP samples the amount of movement from the two encoders every 10 milliseconds and chooses the encoder that moves the most. If both encoders move the same, then encoder 1 is chosen. The WSDP does not attempt to analyze whether an encoder is bad and does not automatically disable a bad encoder. A bad encoder is simply ignored by virtue of the algorithm. In the case that an encoder wheel slips and then begins functioning properly again, the algorithm with utilize it delta counts if they are greater than the other encoder in the 10 millisecond sample. 2.2.4 Working With an Unseasoned Cable The basic premise for working with an unseasoned cable is that the cable will permanently stretch during the logging job such that the hoist operator reels in more cable than he lets out during the trip down and back up the well. The WSDP depth panel magnetic mark correction will not work correctly when the cable is unseasoned. Keep in mind that a thoroughly seasoned cable to 15,000 Ft with maximum pulls up to 7,000 Lbs, for example, will be partially unseasoned if the next job calls for a trip down hole to 18,000 Ft with a tension pull of 8,000 Lbs, for example.
Benchmark Wireline Products AMS4A043 PANEL Rev. A May 2010 Page 13 of 83
Two methods will be discussed for dealing with unseasoned cable. Method 1: Enable magnetic mark correction for the seasoned length of cable, then disable corrections for the unseasoned length. Method 1 requires that the Hoist Operator make note of the WSDP depth BEFORE disabling correction, then disable corrections, and then perform a Set Depth command to put the WSDP panel back on depth. CAUTION: disabling corrections while down hole zeroes out the magnetic mark correction component that was added (or subtracted) to the WSDP depth to that point and therefore depth will change by that amount. The biggest problem with staying on depth with an unseasoned line is when going up hole, after T.D., for example. The increase in tension will result in even more permanent stretch (and more elastic stretch) in the cable, therefore the tool string will be deeper than the WSDP reports. At T.D.: The Hoist operator will probably be required to perform a set depth at T.D. AFTER pulling the cable at the maximum tension pull up hole for several hundred feet. This ensures that a significant amount of permanent stretch has been imparted to the cable. The operator, obviously, has to be able to tie-in the new depth set on the WSDP to a known reference at T.D., for example, the point where it is obvious that the tool string is ‘setting-down’ and then ‘Setting Depth’ on the WSDP to the depth that the driller provided as ‘set-down’ depth. Method 2: If entire cable length is unseasoned, disable magnetic and stretch corrections at the beginning of the job. The WSDP panel will actually stay on depth with an unseasoned cable going down hole, assuming that the encoder wheel circumferences are within tolerance and/or the wheel calibration factors have been determined and inputted in the panel. NOTE: The reason for the above statement is that the encoders actually measure stretched line as it passes the encoder wheels on the measuring head. The biggest problem with staying on depth with an unseasoned line is when going up hole, after T.D., for example. The increase in tension will result in even more permanent stretch (and more elastic stretch) in the cable, therefore the tool string will be deeper than the WSDP reports. At T.D.: The Hoist operator will probably be required to perform a set depth at T.D. AFTER pulling the cable at the maximum tension pull up hole for several hundred feet. This
Benchmark Wireline Products AMS4A043 PANEL Rev. A May 2010 Page 14 of 83
ensures that a significant amount of permanent stretch has been imparted to the cable. The operator, obviously, has to be able to tie-in the new depth set on the WSDP to a known reference at T.D., for example, the point where it is obvious that the tool string is ‘setting-down’ and then ‘Setting Depth’ on the WSDP to the depth that the driller provided as ‘set-down’ depth. 2.2.5 Dynamic Stretch Dynamic Stretch mode is provided for certain cased hole services where there are no magnetic marks in use, therefore magnetic mark correction is disabled when Dynamic Stretch mode is enabled. The WSDP panel depth is affected by the real-time tension reading when operating in the Dynamic Stretch Enabled mode. CAUTION: Do not use Dynamic Stretch Enabled mode if accurate tension readings are not available. Inaccurate tension readings will cause the depth to be inaccurate. An interesting phenomenon associated with Dynamic Tension is that using the example above when the winch is stopped after going down hole 20,000 Ft and then turned around to begin moving up hole – the WSDP will momentarily not show any depth change EVEN THOUGH THE REEL IS OBVIOUSLY MOVING until the tool string actually lifts off of T.D. It has been reported that certain open hole and imaging services produce bad looking logs due to the tension pulls and slacks (and therefore strange depth increments/decrements) if operating the WSDP in Dynamic Tension enabled mode.

4.0 DESCRIPTION OF ALGORITHMS
MMD or CCL Functionality:
Either MMD or CCL can be selected. MMD provides the ability to detect magnetic marks and correct depth if enabled. There is support for both Analog or Digital mark detectors. STRCOR (stretch correction) When STRETCH Correction is enabled, the panel will automatically correct depth to compensate for cable stretch. The following parameters need to be entered: TOOL WEIGHT: The weight of the tool string at the end of the cable. Host computer provides this when the service is loaded. MUD WEIGHT: The fluid weight of the well bore fluid. Dynamic Stretch Correction Algorithm: Stretch in the wireline is compensated in the following manner: As the tool is lowered into the well the depth traveled is measured using the optical encoders 100 times a second. The tension is used to “back out” the stretch on the wireline for that segment and a non stretched depth is calculated by keeping a tally of all of the segments. This summed value is used in the following manner to calculate the depth: If the tension is less than the calculated line weight the tool is assumed to be floating or supported in some other manner. The tension is due to the line weight so the stretch added is = summed depth * tension * Ks * 1/2 where Ks is the stretch coefficient. If the tension is greater than the line weight the stretch due to the line weight is calculated as above and all other weight is assumed to be acting over the entire length of the cable= sum depth *((line weight * ½) + (tension-line weight)) * Ks Magnetic Mark Correction: The panel has 2 modes of operation using magnetic marks. MODE 1: No magnetic mark correction. Magnetic marks are displayed in the MMK Depth window but the depth is not corrected or changed in any way. MODE 2: Magnetic mark correction with stretch correction. MAG MARK WINDOW: The amount of correction possible is determined by the mark window width. After resetting the magnetic mark (find 1st mark) the first mark detected is assumed to be a valid mark (put on when the line was marked.) If the mark interval is 100 feet and the window width is 5 feet, the first mark detected from 97.5 to 102.5 feet from the first mark is assumed to be a valid mark. The panel will add or subtract the difference between the last mark +100 feet – current mark. If the current mark occurs at the last mark + 102 feet, the panel will subtract 2 feet from the displayed depth in the next 20 feet. If the
Benchmark Wireline Products AMS4A043 PANEL Rev. A May 2010 Page 51 of 83
panel output is ‘corrected’ the panel quadrature output will be 2*600 pulses less than the output would have been if the panel output was ‘raw’. If MARK & STRETCH CORRECTION is set to ENABLE: The panel uses the tool weight and fluid density and a theoretical tension vs depth curve is calculated and used to establish the mark locations. At each mark the error is added or subtracted to the depth so that the depth will match the theoretical mark depth. As an example, if a tool weight of 1000 lbs and fluid weight of 8.3 lbs/gal is used the mark at 10000 feet is 10.8 feet + the mark at surface. At 20000 feet it is 43 feet + mark at surface. A depth add/subtract feature allows the operator to add /subtract depth while logging or stopped. To demonstrate the panel operation set encoder PPR to 120, MMD correction on, window width to 5 feet, and encoder out to direct. Zero the panel depth, the system depth and reset the MMD. Rotate the encoder so that the depth says 100.0 feet. The system will see 6000 pulses. Advance the depth to 198 and simulate a mark. Advance the panel depth to 302. There should be 18000 pulses given to the system. The panel added the 2 feet to make up for the error at depth 198. Digital Mark Detector Functionality: Any mark stronger than .3 gauss will be detected. The MMD window determines when the next valid mark can be detected. The cable must travel at least the distance of the mark spacing (100’, 50m or 25m) before a valid mark can be detected. Marks can only be detected if they occur within the mark window. If the window is set for 5' and the mark spacing is 100’, the cable must travel no less than 97.5' and no more than 102.5’ from the last mark before a new valid mark can be detected.
NOTE: Encoders with different pulses per revolutions (up to 2000 PPR) can be used with the panel. Number of pulses per revolution can be changed from depth panel menu. The rear panel Encoder connector wiring supports both 5VDC and 12VDC encoders.
