Abstract

See full text

A method of testing and monitoring operational integrity of a drilling rig is described. The method includes operating the drilling rig in a non-drilling mode at a sequence of different phases including an acceleration phase, a constant speed phase, and a decelerating phase, collecting sensor data associated with one or more components of the drilling rig while the drilling is operated in the non-drilling mode at the sequence of different phases, and analyzing the collected sensor data to determine the operational integrity of the drilling rig. The analyzed data, together with previously stored historical data is used to estimate the life expectancy of the rig and monitor, plan, control, or report maintenance activity for the drilling rig, top drive, or any other system.
