MAINTENANCE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A MACHINE USED IN DRILLING OPERATIONS

摘要

A method for scheduling a maintenance event for a machine used in drilling which includes providing a first well plan for a first well to be drilled over a first time period (tA) and a second well plan for a second well to be drilled over a second time period (tB), controlling a first computer program module for determining a projected first duty profile for the machine in the first time period and a projected second duty profile for the machine in the second time period, controlling a second computer program module for scheduling a maintenance event (tM1) for the machine based on the projected first duty profile and the projected second duty profile, and creating a new maintenance event (tM2) at a time prior to the second time period if the maintenance event (tM1) falls within the second time period.

1. A method for scheduling a maintenance event for a machine used in drilling, the method comprising:
providing a first well plan for a first well to be drilled over a first time period and a second well plan for a second well to be drilled over a second time period; controlling a first computer program module for determining a projected first duty profile for the machine in the first time period and a projected second duty profile for the machine in the second time period; controlling a second computer program module for scheduling a maintenance event for the machine based on the projected first duty profile and the projected second duty profile; and creating a new maintenance event at a time prior to the second time period if the maintenance event falls within the second time period.
