Entering Employee Information
This is a single instance report (meaning there is one report for each well) that is created and
maintained throughout the duration of the well. The employee information report is carried forward
when a well is ended to the next well. This report enables a company to list the employees and to
enter information pertaining to each employee. The information is then stored in the database to
populate specific fields in other reports to include the payroll sections of the tour sheet. Two
common uses for this report are payroll and safety reports. Employee information must be
completed before attempting to sign off a completed tour sheet. To access the Employee Info
screen, click Reports in the navigation bar, and then click on the Employee Info Report tab or
select Employee Info Report from the Report Type menu.
Click Functions to Save or Print the employee report.1
Click the magnifying glass to zoom in on the report and populate the fields.
Click Tools to update the report header information.

Click and drag on any row to launch a tool bar that allows row manipulations such as add,
delete, and move.
Completing an Employee Information Report
Position, first and last name, and a signature are required to correctly import the employee
information into the tour sheet. A signature is executed by entering a PIN (personal identification
number) assigned by the Tool Pusher. If a signature pad is installed, the employee signs their
name on the signature pad when prompted after entering their PIN.
The Crew field is used to group employees together so they can easily be added to other reports.
To do this, enter the same crew number in the Crew field for each employee in the same crew. A
crew is tracked by the crew number assigned and the appointed Driller of that crew.
Double click the Position field to select an Operator Rep, Company Man, Tool Pusher, or Rig
Manager from the drop-down list. For tour sheet sign-off purposes leave the Crew field blank for
these four positions.

The High and Low alarm limits are warning alarms, indicating that the channel is nearing the High-
High or Low-Low alarm limit. When the High or Low alarm is exceeded, the EZ view or gauge
background turns to yellow and the rig floor horn sounds. High-High and Low-Low alarms are the
actual alarm limits for each channel. Exceeding these alarm limits causes the EZ view or gauge
background to turn red and the rig floor horn to sound.
The High and Low alarms could also be used without the High-High and Low-Low alarms. If the
driller wants to maintain a channel within a certain range, but exceeding that range is not critical.
Chart Bounds
EZ View With Strip Chart
This Chart Bounds section of the Channel Configuration screen is only displayed if the EZ view
is associated with a strip chart.
Reverse Bounds: Switches the Lower and Upper Bound values to mirror the graph on a
strip chart, putting low on right.
Lower Bounds: Minimum charted value, normally displays on the left.
Upper Bounds: Maximum charted value, normally displays on the right.
Gauge
This Chart Bounds section of the Channel Configuration screen is only displayed when a gauge
is clicked.
NOTE: Plan for a total of approximately 20 to 50 tick
marks per gauge, depending on the upper bound and
resolution desired. See recommendations below.
Lower Bound
Upper Bound
Click the numeric display button below the corresponding label to set the following values.
Upper Bounds: Sets the maximum value displayed on the gauge. The needle will not rotate

RigSense 2.2 Electronic Drilling Recorder (EDR) capability offers unparalleled ease of use
coupled with a high degree of flexibility. RigSense takes the place of old fashioned pen and paper
recorders. It records all rig activity for more than one year. Records are searchable and can be
viewed at a variety of resolutions. The RigSense system operates as a single interface, allowing rig
personnel to access historical information, make notations and send messages to communicate
with other RigSense systems on the rig.

Report Sign Off
This section is where the Rig Manager (or Tool Pusher) and the Operator Representative (or
Company Man) sign off a completed report to make it official. These fields are locked until the
drillers have signed and locked each of their tours. If the drillers are unavailable, the Rig Manager (
or Tool Pusher) can sign in place of the Driller.
To sign a report:
1. Click in the field and type the PIN setup on the Employee information Report (see
"Completing an Employee Information Report" on page 101.) and press enter.
2. Depending on the options selected by your company, one of two things will happen:
The name associated with the pin is automatically displayed in the field; or
If a signature pad is installed, the signature pad dialog will display to sign the document.
3. Once both fields have been signed, the system will verify that a valid IADC license exists.
If a valid IADC license is not available, a pop-up will display a notification and the
signature fields will be cleared.
Note: Contact the local M/D Totco representative to purchase or renew an IADC
license key. See "IADC Licenses" on page 154.
If a valid IADC license is found, the report is locked, assigned a unique IADC number
and stamped with the IADC logo. To unlock the report, both the Operator Representative
and Tool Pusher need to re-enter their PINs.

Bit Record Report: A running list of drilling bits
used to drill the current well and provides a summary of the operating parameters and
performance of each bit.
Summary Reports: Creates a pdf file that includes information from the tour sheets stored
for the selected time range
Custom company specific morning reports are also accessed here.
Employee Information Report
This is a single instance report (meaning there is one report for each well) that is created and
maintained throughout the duration of the well. The employee information report is carried forward
when a well is ended to the next well. This report enables a company to list the employees and
enter information pertaining to each employee to be restored in the database to populate specific
fields in other reports including the payroll sections of the tour sheet. Two common uses for this
report are payroll and safety reports. Employee information must be completed before attempting
to sign off a completed tour sheet.

Completing an Employee Information Report
Position, first and last name, and a signature are required to correctly import the employee
information into the tour sheet. A signature is executed by entering a PIN (personal identification
number) assigned by the Tool Pusher. If a signature pad is installed, the employee signs their
name on the signature pad when prompted after entering their PIN.
The Crew field is used to group employees together so they can easily be added to other reports.
To do this, enter the same crew number in the Crew field for each employee in the same crew. A
crew is tracked by the crew number assigned and the appointed Driller of that crew.
Double click the Position field to select an Operator Rep, Company Man, Tool Pusher, or Rig
Manager from the drop-down list. For tour sheet sign-off purposes leave the Crew field blank for
these four positions.
Bit Record Report
This standard report keeps a record of bits being used during the drilling process. Bit Record
information can be imported by the tour sheet and other reports.
Click Functions to Save or Print the bit record.
Click Tools to Clear Bit Record.
As bits are added and updated on the tour sheet they are also automatically saved and updated on

RigSense enables the user to extract data into comma-separated value (CSV) files. RigSense
packages the individual extract files into compressed ZIP files in order to conserve disk space.
The file extension used for the individual extract files is RRC. These files can be viewed or
manipulated using other readily available software applications, such as Microsoft Excel.
Extracted data files are located in E:\ExtractFolder\.
File Formats
The RRC files produced by RigSense can be viewed using Notepad. The files store extracted data
in a very simple format. The first row in the file lists the name of each data channel contained in
the file, separated by a comma. The second row in the file lists the units of each data channel
contained in the file, separated by a comma. The third, and all subsequent, rows contain the
actual values for each data channel contained in the file.
When extracting data into RRC files, RigSense lets the user choose between extracting data by
time or by (hole) depth. When extracting data by time, the file contains one row of values for each
time interval and shows data values changing each second over a period of hours, days, or weeks.
If the time interval spans more than one day, then RigSense breaks the RRC files into multiple ZIP
archives. Each ZIP archive contains 24-hours of data, and the ZIP file name will contain the date,
start, and end time of the data contained within it.

When extracting time-based data from RigSense, the user has the option to compress the
generated RRC files. Compressed RRC files will not include repeated channel values. E.g. if the
initial value for the Block Height channel is 89 feet, and the value does not change for the next two
hours, then 89 feet will appear at the beginning of the two hour interval, but will be shown again
until it changes to a different value.
If the user chooses not to compress the data, then the RRC files will include a value for each
channel in every row of the file, even if the same value is repeated from one row to the next. If the
data will be used in another application, such as Microsoft Excel, then it is preferable not to
compress the data, as such applications do not process the compressed, or "exception-based,"
data format.
When extracting data by depth, the file contains one row of values for each depth interval,
showing data values changing as hole depth increases over a given range. Unlike time-based
data, RigSense produces a single RRC file containing all of the data over the requested depth
range. The name of the ZIP file will contain the start and end depth of the requested interval.
When extracting depth-based data from RigSense, the user does not have the option to compress
the data. Rather, every row will contain values for all requested data channels automatically.

Now, the data is available in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, and can be manipulated with all the
tools available in Excel.
For example, data can be plotted in charts within Excel. However, the user must exercise caution,
because RigSense is capable of producing very large quantities of data, and Excel may run out of
memory attempting to process data in large quantities. Ideally, Excel should be used to view small
sections of data at a time.

Setting up Sample Catching
To begin Sample Catching, the user must choose from one of three notification modes:
RigSense Lag - Contains annular velocity which requires correct pump information and the
user to enter bit diameter and pipe OD (outside diameter). Once set, RigSense calculates
the lag time for a drilled depth to reach the surface. This mode displays notes and/or pop-up
messages based on the user set Lead Time which gives the user advanced notice for taking
the sample.
3rd Party Lag Depth - This mode uses the lag depth value received from a mud logger or
portable gas logger via WITS to print on screen sample catching notes and pop-up
messages. The sample must be taken immediately after the on screen note or pop-up
message appears.
Time Delay - Enter the time it takes for the sample to reach the surface. This number does
not rely on pump strokes which makes this mode suitable for air drilling. This mode displays
notes and/or pop-up messages when the hole depth is drilled based on the Sample Every
interval which gives the user advanced notice for taking the sample.

WITS/Pulse/WSGD Setup
A serial port may be used by RigSense 2.2 for WITS, Pulse or the WSGD for a TPOT connection.
It may also be used outside of RigSense (by a third party application).
A workstation may have zero, one, two or more serial ports. Note that a serial port may only be
used by one function at a time.
A status is shown for the selected serial port during the configuration of WITS. The status may any
one of the following:
Available
In use by WITS
In use by WSGD
In use by Pulse
In use by TPOT
Used by 3rd party app
No such port (contact M/D Totco technician if a port is needed)
If a serial port is in use by something other than WITS, it must be released from that use to be
available for WITS. For example, if the status appears as In use by WSGD, the WSGD must be
disabled in order to use that port for WITS.
Click a button from the Setup > WITS/Pulse menu to select Wellsite Information Transfer
Specification (WITS) Setup or Pulse Setup for a port. Ports cannot be used for both WITS and
Pulse, but a port can be used for both WITS input and WITS output.
WITS Setup
To setup a port for either or both WITS input or WITS output click WITS Setup on the WITS/Pulse/
WSGD menu (the WSGD must be disabled before changes may be made to WITS).

Pipe tally grid
Pipe tally in RigSense is a powerful tool that has the ability to maintain an accurate bit depth and
hole depth, while keeping a record of the pipe tally. When the pipe tally is used in conjunction with
the pipe inventory (see "Pipe Tally with Inventory" on page 183), it also provides direct input to the
tour sheet.
The driller enters the length (and type) of bottom hole assembly (BHA) or drill string elements into
the pipe tally as they are measured, and before they are added to the drill pipe. When entered, the
drill string elements are marked as inactive (not yet in the drill string). Each time a connection is
made the joints are automatically added to the pipe tally and activated. Because the pipe tally
calculates drill string length, the system string length is always updated, and the depth will be
correct.
The pipe tally handles the following:
Maintaining the pipe tally and calculating total BHA length, total string length, total drill pipe
length, and total kelly down length.
Revision A

Monitoring the drilling process and recognizing connections.
With this information, it tracks the bit in and out of the hole, and activates joints as they are
added
Maintaining an accurate hole depth as long as the joint lengths are entered correctly and the
electronic depth measurement system (EDMS) calibration is accurate.
If auto depth is enabled without joints entered, pipe tally adds joints automatically based on
the measured connection lengths provided by the EDMS calculations. The system string
length is compared with the string length in the pipe tally, and the system string length is
adjusted as required.
The pipe tally also maintains an on-site pipe inventory entered by the user and stored in the data
base. Joints are added to the pipe tally by selecting from this inventory, using a drop-down list in
the pipe tally. The quantity and type of pipe on site is maintained by the user.
Pipe Tally Interface
The pipe tally user Interface presents the pipe tally in grid format and allows editing by the driller.
The driller can add joints, delete joints, modify existing joints, insert joints, and move joints from
one location to another in the pipe tally. Other options are also available and will be detailed in the
rest of this section.

Grid Columns
The pipe tally is displayed in a grid with the following columns:
#: (automatic) This is the joint identifier used to identify positions when moving, deleting, etc.
DP #: (automatic) This is the drill pipe count. It only includes items where the Status field
selection is Pipe.
Revision A
Page 167 of 228
11: Pi pe Tal l y
www.nov.com/mdtotco
Stand: (automatic) This column is dependent on the number of joints per stand selected in
Well Setup. If three joints per stand is selected, this column will contain x for the first joint in
a stand, xx for the second joint, and the stand number for the third joint. If two joints per
stand is selected, this column will contain x for the first joint in a stand, and the stand
number for the second joint. Up to four joints per stand are valid choices.
O.D.: (automatic) This is the outside diameter of the joint selected. The information is
retrieved from the on-site pipe inventory
Description: (Driller selected) This information is selected from the Description drop-down
list. See "Inventory" on page 171.
Length: (Automatic/Driller entered) The joint length has three sources:
The strapped length of a joint entered by the driller.
Length measured by the EDMS (indicated by an underline.) When a connection is made
(and auto depth is on), if the last joint in the tally is the active joint (highlighted green),
and the next entry is empty, the pipe tally copies the previous joint type entered, and
sets the length to the connection length measured by the DAQ.
If RigSense is installed on a rig that has been drilling for some time, in order to get the
Pipe Tally up and running quickly, the driller can do a backfill of joints up to the current
joint by entering the total length of the backfill, and the number of joints in the backfill.
The Pipe Tally Manager then divides the length by the number of joints, and fills in the
backfill area with this average joint length. In this case, a strike-through is used in the
joint lengths indicating that the joint length was calculated from a backfill (least likely to
be accurate).
Kelly Down: (automatic) This represents the depth at which Kelly Down will occur. It is the
sum of the Drill String column and the Kelly Down channel value.
Drill String: (automatic) This is the sum of ALL the (active) elements in the drill string,
including the "BHA" and "Pipe".
Drill Pipe: (automatic) This is the sum of the (active) Drill "Pipe", excluding the "BHA". It
includes all joints with a status of "Pipe".
Status: (Driller selected) Status is selected from a drop-down list. This identifies the joints
function in the Drill string:
BHA: This joint is a part of the BHA. BHA sections inserted in the Drill Pipe are treated
as "Pipe" pieces. They are not included when "Display BHA only" is selected. The
bottom hole assembly must be all together at the bottom of the hole.
Pipe: This is an element of the Drill Pipe (these are grouped into Stands)
Inactive: If a joint of pipe is physically removed from the Drill Sting, it may be left in the
Pipe Tally for future replacement, and be set to "Inactive". It is removed from all totals.
Also when entering joints ahead which have been strapped, but are not yet actually in
the hole, they are automatically set to "Inactive", and the Status updated when a
connection is made.
Set Multiple: This is not an actual status, but a means to set one of the above states
into multiple joints. When this is selected from the drop-down list, a dialog pops up

where you enter a start joint#, an end joint# and the Status you want them all to be set
to. Then press OK, the joints are changed to the selected Status.
Note: There is no logical connection between a type of joint in the inventory (Tool, DC,
DP) and the pipe status in the pipe tally. This is determined by the Driller when the joint
is added to the drill string.

Backfill
Basics
On occasion, a large number of joints may need to be added. In order to save time, a backfill can
accomplish this task quickly without entering each joint individually. In general, a backfill is
generated by entering a total length of the pipe, and then entering the number of joints included in
that total. RigSense calculates the average joint length (length divided by number of joints) and
sets the length of each joint to this average.
Note: The average joint length calculation must result in a number close to the average
length of a single joint of pipe. For this reason, do not include BHA items and other odd
length items in a backfill with drill pipe. Only items of equal (or nearly equal) length should
be included in any one backfill.
Conventions and Rules
All Drill String values and estimated joint Lengths in a backfill will have a line drawn
through them.
Joints in a backfill can not be deleted or moved. To delete a joint in a backfill either delete the
entire backfill or enter the correct length for all of the joints in the backfill. Once this is done,
a single backfill joint may be deleted.
The underlined Drill String length at the end of a backfill reflects the accurate string length
at that location in the drill string. All previous string lengths (with a line through them) are
only estimates based on calculated joints.
Note: Correcting joint lengths in a backfill does not change the underlined drill string length.
This is the only string length in the backfill which is known to be correct (based on the
backfill length entered by the driller.) Therefore, it is retained until all of the backfill joints
have been corrected. Joint lengths in a backfill may be changed without affecting the
accuracy of the string lengths following the backfill.
Editing the estimated joint length of the first or last item in a backfill, removes that item from
the backfill. When the last item of a backfill is edited, the second to last item is underlined.
The underlined drill string total is adjusted accordingly.
Inserting a new joint in a backfill will adjust the drill string total.
When all joints in a backfill have been corrected, the underline will be removed from the last
drill string length and the backfill becomes a normal part of the drill string.

Test the TPOT Network
If you suspect a problem with the TPOT network, do the following:
1. If there are other rig floor TPOT devices (i.e. DataWatch, spectrum panels, etc.), see
whether they receive data from the DAQ as expected.
If yes, test the RigSense connection to the TPOT network.
If not, test the DAQ per the DAQ documentation.
2. From the application server, run the TPOT Checker utility.
If the number of tokens does not change periodically, or shows no tokens received:
Check for cut or otherwise damaged cable.
Check for a missing terminator on the network.
Verify the TPOT modem attached to the application server is functioning.
Make sure the network is wired correctly; this means no T-connectors in the cable run
except those on the modems.
3. While running the TPOT Client utility, make sure that there is a black dot next to the word
Valid. This means that the *.CHN files match the channel list coming in from the DAQ.
If the *.CHN file is not valid, contact M/D Totco for further assistance.

The last three digits must be different for each computer, or the network does not operate
properly. If an IP address for a computer is different from this list, contact M/D Totco for
further assistance.
2. Verify the Subnet Mask for all IP addresses is:
255 . 255 . 255 . 0
If it is not, contact the local M/D Totco representative.
3. Use the Ping Check utility
4. If the computer and network cards are properly configured, check the wiring for faults.

About the Tour Sheets
The CAODC (Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors) tour sheet is a key component
of the relationship between Drilling Contractor and Operator. It is used by the Contractor to
generate invoices and to manage personnel and equipment; by the Operator as an analytical tool
to verify billings, review past drilling practices and design future wells; by oilfield service companies
to refine their equipment and services; and by regulatory agencies as a document of legal record.
Using the Tour Sheets
The RigSense CAODC tour sheet allows users to view, create, load, save, import, and send tour
sheets. You can do all these functions by clicking Functions on the Tour Sheet screen.
Opens a new tour sheet.
Prints multiple copies of the tour sheet, a number of printing options are
possible.

There are a number of rules that must be followed when signing off a tour sheet:
All members of the crew must sign off for each tour (shift).
If a driller signs off a tour, he or she must unsign it to make any changes.
The rig manager can unsign a tour signed off by a driller.
All tours on the Tour Sheet must be signed-off before the rig manager or operator
representative can sign off.
If there is an empty tour (no employees on the payroll page), the rig manager must sign off
for the driller.
Sign off for employees, drillers, operator representative and rig manager will not be allowed
until required fields for the employee, tour or tour sheet are filled in first.
Sign Off for the Tour Sheet
