How it learns

The spec sheet says 11.7°/30m. Your motors know better.

Every slide your rigs drill is measured, graded and filed against the assembly that drilled it. Your Office Server shares it across the company, so every slide call starts from what your own motors have actually done.

What SharpShooter learns stays within your company's - or your own - system. It is never shared with another company.

From a slide to a number

Measured, not remembered.

Slide and survey as usual. Nothing extra to type - the slide sheet you already fill in is the input.
The surveys split each course in two: what the motor did, and what the well does on its own when you rotate. The rotating tendency comes out, so the number is the motor's own work.
The rig feed grades the slide. Toolface locked in, good, wandering or window washed - and the weight, differential and flow it slid on are kept beside it.
It is filed by the set-up - motor size, power section and bend, the bit, the flex and slick monels and the stabilisers, no serial numbers - with the inclination band.
The next slide call uses it, and the sheet says exactly what stands behind the number.

Example · the slide sheet

MOTOR · Learned · this BHA

10.46 °/30m

this BHA, Montney, 85-95°, 186 m slid, slides locked in 96%

toolface running 12° right of the one set

Sliding on: 8500 daN on bit, 1150 kPa diff, 2200 L/min

Every learned number carries its basis: how many metres stand behind it, which angle it came from, and how well the toolface was held while it was drilled.

What stands behind the number

It says where the number came from.

Every learned figure carries its basis: the metres slid behind it, the inclination band it came from, how many slides and their range, and how well the toolface was held while they were drilled - so an average over very different slides is never taken for a promise.

When the case is new

The nearest answer first.

This assembly, at this inclination.
This assembly, anywhere it has drilled.
Nothing learned yet: the motor output you choose, as always.

Each answer names the step it came from, so a number is never quietly stretched further than it should be. Now the pad joins the ladder too: the same set-up within 25 km is asked before anywhere else.

Shared across your company

One rig learns it. Every rig in the company knows it.

Your Office Server is the company's own server. What each rig learns rides up with its surveys; when a rig links a job, the company's footage for the assemblies it is running comes back down with the anti-collision setup.

Counted once

The same well sent from the rig laptop and from a second computer is one set of footage, not two - so a busy rig never outweighs a quiet one.

Only what the rig needs

A rig gets back the company's answer for the assemblies on its own job, which keeps it quick over a rig connection.

Measurements only

Depths, angles, what the motor did and what it was pushed with. No well names, no clients, no licences - the well travels as a random identifier.

It stays in your company

The learning lives on your rig computers and your own Office Server - and, when your company signs the company data agreement on the client portal, in your company's own space on our server so your licensed copies share it with each other. It is never shared with, or used for, another company. Without an agreement or an Office Server, each computer learns from its own wells.

With the rig feed

More to learn from, and cleaner footage.

What it slid on

Weight on bit, differential, flow, RPM and ROP are kept for every slide and rotate, so "does this motor build more with more weight?" has an answer from your own wells.

A weak slide is not a weak motor

The live toolface grades each slide. A slide that washed round the window is recorded as a weak slide - the motor keeps its real output, and what it does with the toolface held sits beside the average.

Slides it saw for itself

With the feed on, the slide sheet fills from the rig feed, so the learning starts from clean footage.
