    When creating a sidetrack, the bit depth will sometimes incorrectly jump to the kickoff depth even if the bit is at the surface. This can lead to incorrect activity and data if the drill string is moved without noticing the incorrect depth. It is recommended to create sidetracks with the bit at the surface. After creating a sidetrack, operators must remember to reset the bit depth back to the surface or correct depth to avoid this issue. The document provides an example and instructions for correcting the bit depth after it jumps upon restarting the system after sidetrack creation.

    Bit Depth Jump when creating Sidetrack

    Case Histories & Lessons Learned

    From: Q&Ops
    Introduction: Reminder to correct bit depth once sidetrack creation is complete.

    Title

    Problem: Bit Depth jumps to kick off depth while creating sidetrack even at surface. If unnoticed,
    incorrect activity and data will occur if HKH moves and total depth increases.

    Solution: If you need to create a sidetrack, it is recommended to do it when the bit is at


    surface. When creating a sidetrack remember to move bit depth back to surface or to
    correct depth.

    In the following example a new wellbore has been added at a depth of 1855m. The bit
    depth is 0.05m (on surface)

    Case Histories & Lessons Learned


    ***INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS ONLY***
    After the system is restarted and the setup panel is opened, the bit depth has jumped to
    the kick off depth at 1855m.

    Bit depth jumped to


    KO depth.

    Make sure to correct your bit depth. In this case, the bit was on surface so 0.05m was
    entered.

    Reset bit depth to


    correct depth
