Auto Drill Mode

AutoDriller System monitors up to four drilling parameters at the same

time, providing steady-state weight and/or differential pressure to improve
wellbore quality and rate of penetration (ROP). The system has two modes:
Auto Drill and Time Drill. In the Auto Drill mode, the controller maintains
selected drilling parameters at or near their target values. If a parameter
begins to approach or exceed its target, that parameter assumes control of
drill line payoff. For the Time Drill mode, the controller maintains drilling at a
slow, specific rate (in/min) to address certain specialized operational Time Drill Mode
requirements, like milling a window for sidetrack operations or kicking off
directionally. If any of the other active parameters start to exceed their target,
they will appear and drilling will pause until no targets are exceeded.
