Drilling wellbores with optimal physical drill string conditions

摘要

A drilling system includes a control unit and a bottomhole assembly (BHA) coupled to a drill string. The control unit uses measurements from sensors for example seismic sensors used for geosteering distributed throughout the drill string and BHA to determine the physical condition of the drill string and BHA. The sensors are housed in receiver subs and can be positioned on extensible members. The receiver sub also can include a short-hop telemetry module, a processor module, and a clock module. The receiver subs include sensors for enabling vertical seismic profiling (VSP). The processor visually presents via graphical user interfaces a dynamically updated pictorial image representing the drilling system. The image is annotated with an appropriate visual signal to indicate a determined physical condition. The processor can also display recommended adjustments to drilling parameters.
