INSITE®/IRIS®
Data Acquisition System
The System
The next generation logging system is here. The INSITE/IRIS Mud Logging system is a
new concept in logging unit design. The myriad of panels, knobs, and controls, common to
older technologies, have been replaced by a group of networked PC’s that run on industry
standard intuitive Windows® 2000 platform. Flexibility, ease of operation, reliability, and
expandability were the watch words in the design of the INSITE/IRIS logging system.
Sixty five years of logging experience dictated that this ultimate logging system has the
flexibility to be customized in the field and be updated with future logging and electronic
technology developments. Further, it had to be easy to operate for loggers not trained in
computer programming. Above all, the system had to be reliable in one of the harshest
environments known -- the oil field. The INSITE/IRIS logging system meets these design
goals and in so doing becomes the nucleus for all Halliburton Sperry-Drilling advanced
services.
The System Is Flexible

Flexibility to tailor the output of a logging system to the needs of the location and the
personnel interpreting the data has long been recognized as a necessity in a monitoring
system.
A flexible logging system adapts to the drilling practices of the area in which it is working.
INSITE/IRIS logging system allows individual English or metric or a combination of any
unit selection, user definable gas units to percent-methane-in-air ratios, and the options of
monitoring common troublesome gases (multi H2S points, CO2, and H2). The
chromatograph is fully controlled from the IRIS user interface with advanced calibration
methodology that allows multipoint calibration for mixtures of gases and concentrations.
A flexible logging system simplifies data interpretation. The key behind this concept is the
system ability to provide versatile capabilities in regards to managing data input and
output. The database has hundreds of built-in parameters organized into records.
However, the system is so flexible that it can accept any added user parameter, being raw
parameter from a direct measurement or one that is calculated. When it comes to
outputting data, in addition to dozens of built-in formats provided as logs, XY-plots, tables
as well as displays, complete format customization is provided for specific user
requirements. The parameters showing in these outputs are totally user selectable with a
great degree of flexibility regarding the way of display, units, scaling, colors, ranges… etc.
The INSITE/IRIS logging system allows the operator to continuously monitor rig activities
during tripping, drilling, circulating… etc. by providing outputs based on the type of current
activity.
Alarms can be set on any database parameter, being raw or calculated, for user-defined
high or low limits. The system provides audible and visual indication. These alarms are
intelligent in the sense that the system can identify the actual alarming conditions in order
to minimize false alarms.

SDL System Specs
The system is easy to operate
The INSITE/IRIS logging system has been engineered with the logging functionality in
mind. Being Windows® based, all system modules follow the Windows® conventions which
makes it easy to operate as operating Windows® is becoming more of a common
knowledge nowadays. All system functions (calibrating equipment, formatting displays,
database functions, producing outputs… etc.) can be performed from any computer in the
unit network. After the computer is given the proper parameters to calculate lag, The
INSITE/IRIS logging system automatically updates this lag with the progress of drilling and
informs the logger when to catch a sample. Data acquisition, processing and storage in
database are all transparent to the operator. Now, the system management requires less
of the logger's valuable time than any previous system, thanks to the effective use of the
latest in electronics and microprocessing technology.
The System Is Reliable

The acquisition system receives all signals from sensors through safety barriers to
eliminate shock hazards. All signal processing and sensor calibrations are handled on the
computer inside the unit.
Although the system operations are distributed between different computers running IRIS,
Database and INSITE applications, only one computer can run the whole system in case
the other computers become faulty. This is a great flexibility and reliability feature that
minimizes the potential of system failure.
The System Is Expandable

A new generation logging unit needs the capability to grow with the advancing drilling and
electronic technologies. It should be capable of adapting to new sensors, to advances in
computer power, and to the increasing complexities of managing real-time downhole
information. IRIS was designed to be flexible enough to accommodate new technology
easily. INSITE development team is continuously adding, modifying, improving and
tweaking the system to keep up the technology edge.
Not only new sensors could be accepted, but also complete acquisition system could be
fully accommodated, e.g. Profibus system of HiTech Drilling. New advancements in the
drilling technology, new parameters to be measured, new tools to be introduced to the
industry, all could be easily incorporated into the versatile platform of IRIS.

Description
IRIS hardware comprises at least four AlphaScan units arranged in a “stack”. AlphaScans
have been in use with Halliburton for more than a decade and provide a reliable means of
collecting data from a distributed sensor array such as that found on a rig.
Each AlphaScan module is programmable to identify each other in the stack (network).
The system can accommodate as many AlphaScan modules as required for an extended
array of sensors and signals.

SDL System Specs
IRIS Configuration and Operation
IRIS channels configuration screen
The 934S provides the interface to INSITE through an RS485 link to the IRIS server on the
network.
Each sensor is connected to an AlphaScan channel, each AlphaScan has 20 channels. If a

stack of 4 AlphaScans is built up, the channels are numbered sequentially from 1 thru 80.
Each AlphaScan in the stack is called a Node. In the AlphaScan Node, each channel is
assigned two numbers, the sequential number (e.g. 1-80) and the channel number in the
Node (1-20). The sequential number is then assigned a parameter name. This name is
“mapped” to its equivalent parameter in the INSITE database (the ADI) and is logged in
the relevant record in each run.

Hook Load
(Strain Gauge)
The Hook Load sensor uses a full bridge strain gauge sensing element with high accuracy
measurement. The pressure-to-electrical signal electronics eliminate the day-to-night
temperature drifts seen by the usual implementation.
The wire rope is fixed at the centre of the transducer body between two deflection blocks.
When additional load is applied to the wire rope, it tends to straighten at the deflection
point and creates a strain on the transducer body which is detected by the strain gauge.
The strain gauge bridge and the signal conditioner combine to produce a 4-20 mA output
signal proportional to the tension in the wire rope.

SDL System Specs
Rotary RPM
The RPM proximity switch consists of a reed switch enclosed in two magnets. The two
magnets are set in opposite polarity so that they cancel each other out and hence turn the
reed switch off. The field is only imbalanced, and the reed switch turned on, by the
proximity of the other magnet or magnetic substance such as steel. The sensor is
positioned over the top drive or rotary motor driving shaft.

 Range 0- 500 RPM
 Sensor Accuracy+/- 1 RPM/ FS

SDL System Specs
Electrical Rotary Torque
The torque sensor is a 'Split Core Current Transducer'. It takes the form of a clamp which
sits round the main power cable to the Top Drive System. Being clip-on, it requires no
cutting/splicing of electric cables. It works on the principle of deformation of Hall-effect
chips by the magnetic field produced around the cable due to the current being drawn
through it, i.e. the greater the torque being produced as the pipe rotates, the greater the
current drawn by the Top Drive (greater 'Hall effect').
The Hall-effect chips are made of Indium Arsenide (semi-conducting material) with a
ferrite core that focuses the effect of the magnetic field on to the semi-conductor. In short,
they give a variable resistance effect which is directly proportional to the strength of the
magnetic field they are exposed to. They give a variable 4-20 mA signal back to the
logging unit.
Specifications

SDL System Specs
Standpipe/Choke Pressure
The sensor design puts the transducer in contact with mud. The sensor utilizes a bonded-
foil strain gauge sensing element and a completely encapsulated electronic signal amplifier
to produce a 4-20 mA output that is proportional to applied pressure.
The unit is environmentally sealed with the stainless steel cover being electron-beam
welded to the pressure fitting. The parts which come in contact with the drilling fluid meet
the NACE standards for contact with a sour gas (H2S).
The sensor features a 4-pin Glenair connector for 24 VDC input power. Even though the
transmitter is polarity dependant, it is protected against reversing polarity.

SDL System Specs
Mud Density
The two diaphragms are hydraulically linked within the sensor’s construction. The lower
diaphragm is “rated” to give a known displacement in response to applied pressure, while
the upper is compliant and simply transfers the pressure it measures via the hydraulic fill,
to the rear of the rated diaphragm. Actual displacement of the lower diaphragm is
measured using an internally mounted Linear Variable Differential Transformer.
The externally mounted amplifier module receives the output signal and conditions it to
provide a 4 to 20 mA output over the required span.

SDL System Specs
Radiation-based Mud Density Meter
Nuclear density gauges consist of a sealed source in a source holder and a scintillation
detector. The source holder is mounted on a side of a pipe with the detector on the
opposite side. A focused beam of radiation is transmitted from the source through the pipe
and process material to the detector. As the density of the material in the pipe changes,
the amount of radiation reaching the detector changes.
The greater the density of the material, the lower the radiation field at the detector.
Process density is provided in the form of a current output.

SDL System Specs
Mud Conductivity
The sensor works on the principle of the toroidal coupling effect. The sensor contains two
coils known as the primary and secondary coils. AC current is fed to the primary coil by
oscillator.
The magnetic effect caused by this current is transmitted to the secondary coil by the
medium surrounding the coils. The phase difference of the second coil is related to the
resistivity of the medium. The phase difference is detected by a modulation unit and then
amplified to a 4-20 mA signal. The sensor also contains a thermistor for temperature
compensation so that the actual value given is at its 20 °C equivalent.

This sensor consists of a thermistor enclosed in a stainless steel probe that in turn is
protected by a stainless steel cage. The probe is submerged in the mud. The thermistor is
a temperature sensitive resistor that has proved its high accuracy with durability and ease
of installation and maintenance.
The temperature sensor probe used on the INSITE IRIS is a thermistor device. The
thermistor is connected to a current loop converter element supplying 24 VDC isolated
power from the PF barrier. The sensing element gives a variable resistance to current loop
converter which is then amplified to give 4-20 mA signals.

High resolution EM
Mud flow out sensor
The principle of measurement relies upon Faradays law of electromagnetic induction. If a

conductor is moved within a magnetic field an electromotive force (emf) is induced in that
conductor at right angles to the direction of movement. The magnitude of the emf is
directly proportional to the speed at which the conductor moves. The magnetic field is
created by the magnet within the sensor; the drilling fluid is the conductor; the induced
EMF is measured as a voltage variation by the sensors inside the pipe. Thus, the voltage
measured is proportional to the speed of flow of the drilling fluid.
For the sensor to work, the pipe at the point where the measurement sensor is used has
to be full of fluid when taking the measurement and the fluid has to be conductive.
Specifications
 Type of fluid: Conductive fluids only (not suitable for OBM)

 Fluid Temperature: –40 to +130 °C (–40 to +266 °F)
 Ambient Temperature: –20 to +60 °C (–4 to +140 °F)
 Minimum detectable flow: 30 lpm (8.5 gpm) with 6” sensor
 Sensitivity (resolution): One tenth of minimum detectable flow
 Working Principle: Faraday’s law of Electromagnetic induction
 Output signal: 4 – 20 mA Intrinsically safe
 Accuracy: ±3 % of full scale
 Zone certification: Ex II 2G EEx e [ia] IIC/IIB T3/T4/T5/T6.

SDL System Specs
Coriolis-Effect Meters
Accurate quantitative measurement of fluid flow rates can be achieved by coriolis-effect

flowmeters, which generally give excellent response to changes in flow. Coriolis devices
measure mass flow, volume flow, density and temperature from a single device.
These types of sensors have limitations in operating environment as they require

significant alteration to the rigs return mud flow system due to their large size. Due to the
design nature of Coriolis meters, they may induce flowline restrictions in some geometrical
setups. This needs to be taken into account when designing the geometry of the flowline
pipe diversion to avoid restrictions or backflow.
Because Coriolis meters basically measure fluid mass, the meter’s accuracy may also be
affected when entrained gas level in the mud is high. Recent “smart” sensor models used
by Halliburton Sperry can tolerate up to 40% of entrained gas.
The larger diameter coriolis flow meter the larger the height of the coriolis loop and hence
its weight that can go up to 150 to 200 Kg. This must be taken into consideration with
regard to installation. Halliburton Sperry typically provides a pipe diversion skid that
matches the size and weight of the sensor to be installed and provides the support
required for the pipe configuration assembly.

SDL System Specs
Mud Volume, Ultrasonic
The pit volume measurement is done using ultra-sonic transit time. The sensor is mounted
over the pit above the maximum mud level. The following sequence of events takes place
several times each second:
1. The transmitter emits a brief ultrasonic pulse.
2. A short time is allowed for the electronics to settle and for spurious echoes to die
away.
3. The transmitter is switched to receiver-mode automatically.
4. The first pulse returning from the mud surface is received.
5. The receiver is locked out to eliminate confusion caused by secondary echoes.
6. The sequence is repeated
The electronic Controller contains all the circuitry necessary to determine the round trip
time and to transmit it as a 4-20 mA current signal.

a hose connection to the gas detection system for analysis of released gases.

SDL System Specs
Ditch Magnet
Overview
Ditch Magnet is tool designed to remove metal debris and particles from drilling mud that
the shale shaker misses. The ditch magnets will capture all debris having magnetic
attraction and hold it until they are removed from the mud stream.
It is particularly valuable during milling operations, wash overs and fishing jobs. Removal
of mill cuttings and debris reduces the wear and tear of mud pumps and other equipment,
as well as eliminating problems caused by the return down hole of harmful debris.
Operation
Suspended by soft line, position the Ditch Magnet in the mud return line and/or in the
shaker discharge. Metal particles passing by the magnet will then be caught and retained.
The magnet should be used any time metal particles may accumulate in the mud. The unit
should be cleaned several times per day, depending on milling rate by removing the
magnet and cleaning it with a fresh or salt water hose. Wipe all cuttings from the unit and
return it to duty.

Total Gas Detector and Chromatograph
Total Hydrocarbon Gas Detector

The Total Gas Detector is a computer-interfaced detector
which analyzes a continuous stream of gas and air drawn from
the gas trap, for total hydrocarbon gases. Accuracy is to 1
unit (0.01%). The gas detector analyzes information from the
gas trap assembly and is located in the logging unit.
The total gas detector that Halliburton Sperry Drilling uses is
the Series 9000. This gas detector is a flame ionization detector, which is flexible, highly accurate, and easy
to calibrate.
The operating principle is based on the release of charged ions from the burning of hydrocarbons in a
hydrogen flame. Only about 1% of the hydrocarbons are actually burned and the remainder is vented. As
the ions or free electrons are released they are converted to a current, which is amplified. The current flow
is of the order of 10-9 to 10-12 amperes. An electrometer produces a voltage proportional to this current
and therefore proportional to the amount of hydrocarbons present in the sample.
Readings from the gas detector are fed into the data acquisition computer via the Data Scan Network. Gas
alarms and displays are controlled through the INSITE™ database.
Advantages of the FID gas detector:
 Not sensitive to CO2, water vapors, H2S or hydrogen.
 The FID detector is very accurate at high and low gas concentrations and provides a linear response to very
high concentrations of gas.
 The detector measures from 0-100% methane with a sensitivity of 10 ppm.
 Using both the FID gas detector and the chromatograph allows accurate correlation between both instruments
providing a double check of the operations of the gas system.
Note: Halliburton Sperry Drilling INSITE® system is also capable of monitoring CO2 detectors, Infrared Detectors,
and ambient gas systems.

Hydrocarbon Gas Chromatograph
The Gas Chromatograph is a computer interfaced,

programmable, flame ionization Baseline chromatograph
with automatic sampling and calibrating for detection of
hydrocarbons (C1, C2, C3, C4 iso & normal, and C5).
Samples are either taken from the gas trap or by manual
injection from a Steam Still. Accuracy to 10 ppm. The
chromatograph is located in the unit.
The gas systems are calibrated using minimix test gases
containing C1-C5 hydrocarbons and are checked regularly.
For gas chromatography, Halliburton uses the series 8900 detector. The 8900 has twin columns and is fitted
with a flame ionization filament. It is programmable and all functions are controlled through an on board
microprocessor. It has selectable signal attenuation, which gives high accuracy throughout the range of
hydrocarbons gases encountered. Full analysis of gases from methane to normal pentane takes
approximately 60 secs.
The microprocessor unit enables the operator to program the shorter of the 2 columns (precut column) to
chose the range of hydrocarbons to analyze. After gases have traveled through the precut column, the
sample is directed through the longer column. It is here where the gases are separated into their individual
components. As with the gas detector, the chromatograph is unaffected by CO2, H2S, water vapors, or
hydrogen.
The operating principal is the same as the gas detector, but where the gas detector is continually fed with
mixed samples, the chromatograph takes a 1cc sample. Another difference between the gas detector and
chromatograph is that the gases are separated into components as they travel through the long column of
the chromatograph.
Gas integration can be performed externally with an external integrator such as the HP3392 series or
internally. Internal gas integration is made possible by the use of Halliburton Sperry’s chromatograph
logarithmic amplifier board. The logarithmic amplifier board interfaces with the Data Scan Network which is
connected to surface computer. The surface data acquisition computer performs the chromatograph
integration. The integration program is capable of determining the gas concentrations of methane through
hexane, carbide, and specialty gases such as propylene.
INSITE™ is also capable of monitoring 2 chromatographs simultaneously. This adds the flexibly to have
continuous gas analysis and be able to run cuttings gas analysis or steam still analysis.
Sampling Rates: Sample rates for the GC are 30-35 seconds complete cycle for C1-C4 and 30 seconds for
complete cycle C1- C5, the IRIS software reads 10 signals per second.

1. E.W.S. Introduction:
Early detection of parameters that indicate well control problems are handled in software by Sperry
Drilling in its Early Warning System. This system (EWS) has been developed to give a rapid
response to any unpredicted changes in the flow system.
The circumstances seen on slim hole drilling make this particularly important since the volume of
any influx has to be kept low to minimize pressures and avoid further problems. All HPHT drilling
projects and deep water projects equally increase the need for fast real-time information about the
drilling fluid circulation.
For the accuracy required this monitoring is best performed on the direct flow measurements rather
than by being inferred from pit level measurements.
The system has been well established in the Middle East area throughout the past five years having
been operated in over 15 rigs distributed between Oman, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait with
remarkable performance.
2. Advantages / Benefits:
Control Quickly
- Speed of response can make the difference between managing a situation in time and the
costly consequences of an influx of too large a volume
- Control a situation before pressure limits are breached
Timely information for those who need to know

Information and alarms generated by this system are distributed around the rig so that the rig crew
can take timely action to prevent costly unwanted occurrences.
3. Main Features:
 Accurate flow measurement for a wide flow range

 Monitors both flows and pressures
 Direct flow measurement rather than inferred from pit levels
 Integrated CFM (Connection Flow Monitor) module monitors the circulating system while
pumps are off during connections (monitors hole breathing/ballooning)
 Rapid response to unpredicted changes in the flow system including: Fluid Influx, mud
losses, washouts / restrictions and hole breathing/ballooning.
 Help detect formation micro-fractures while drilling
 Intelligent Alarms with minimized false warnings
 Various alarm tools available for rig floor or anywhere on the rig
 Rolling averages statistical methods are used to remove noise resulting from pulsating flow
of pumps and/or electrical fluctuations

SDL System Specs
 The model accounts for the displacement variations resulting from pipe and/or vessel
movement
 The system compensates for the delays observed in the flow-out measurement resulting
from the mud system
 User-friendly system that runs on a dedicated server seamlessly integrated into Sperry
Drilling InSite® System
4. The system:
Improved flow measurement

The system has been set up to use accurate direct measurements for the flow regime as the
primary input. In water base muds, electromagnetic flow meters are used whereas coriolis meters
are used with oil base muds.
Statistical data filtering

Although the measurements of flow are as accurate as possible, the signals need to be handled
appropriately. Before mathematical models are applied noise such as the pulsating flow of pumps
and electrical fluctuations are removed with statistical changes. Using different types of rolling
averages the users are able to make sure the signal is a fast reacting true representation of the
flow, without unwanted noise.
Modeled flow prediction

The model that calculates the predicted flow out is based on the flow in measurement. However,
the model compensates for the delays in the flow out measurement seen due to well system and
the rig flow system. All movements of pipe as well as movement of vessel are taken into account to
make this prediction as accurate as possible. The fluid properties produce particular curves in
response to changes of these rig activities and this profile is also built into the model.
Improved alarm systems

While drilling, the flow out predicted by the model is compared constantly with the measured flow
out. All differences seen are used as the primary potential for alarm generation. Instead of using
this difference with simple limit alarms, statistical methods comparing the profiles of the cumulative
sums are used to judge the validity of early alarms. This allows alarms to be set close but avoids
false alarms. Whenever a real difference between the expected flow out and the actual flow out is
shown to be valid, this difference is integrated over time to show a volume. The prime alarm that
an engineer sets will be this volume which they can readily relate to current circumstances. This can
be judged against the effect that this volume would have on the well, given the particular hole and
pipe configuration.

SDL System Specs
Monitoring standpipe pressure
The system also uses the measured flow in to predict the actual standpipe pressures. This has built
in intelligence to avoid false alarms as changes of state are made. The differences seen between
this and the measured pressure are used as a secondary indicator from which alarms can be
triggered.
Integration of CFM
A very important feature of Halliburton Drilling EWS system is the integration of CFM algorithm into
the package. At any time that the pumps are switched off the alarm generation is switched
automatically to the Connection Flow Monitoring application. CFM compares the profile of the
returns (both flow out and pit gain) to either a standard profile developed under controlled
conditions or to a recent average. The accuracy of this system has been shown where the standard
profile is made for each hole section and then the profile is developed as new connections are
made.
This system has shown its great advantages in helping distinguish between hole
breathing/ballooning situations and real kicks (see example graphs below).
All rig activities are monitored closely by this system. While there is steady pumping and steady
drilling these trends can be reasonably easily watched. However this system continues to keep close

5. Use of the system:
The custom displays of this information and these alarms are available on the machine making the
calculations. However, because this system is an integral part of the INSITE suite of software the
alarms, the stored data and the real-time displays can be used by any personnel on the rig with an
INSITE workstation. This use is not restricted to monitoring but involves detailed analysis of the
stored data.
In order to display this information to the driller, an optional simplified traffic light alarm system can
be installed on the rig floor. However it is also possible – upon request – to install a full explosion
proof monitor on the drill floor. These screens can be used to show the trend analysis as well as the
alarms.

The revolutionary new Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer is Portable, durable, versatile,
cost-efficient and ergonomic, the Isologger MS makes MGIL routine.
Simply, it’s the most compact and rugged IRMS (Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer) in the
entire solar system.
The Isologger MS can provide information from C1 right up to C8. For cost effectiveness,
we’re often asked to focus our machines on C1 – C3, Methane, Ethane and Propane
analysis but, because Isologger MS is so sensitive, you can rest assured that additional C3
– C8 information can be gained from extremely low concentration gas samples.
This additional information can help to determine the type of petroleum in your reservoir.
Oil may be indicated by a higher abundance of C3+ components (Pentanes and Hexanes),
whereas a “wet” gas can

CUTTING VOLUME SENSOR™

SDL System Specs
Cuttings Volume Sensor
At present Halliburton Sperry Drilling Surface Data Logging is developing a cuttings

volume monitor which will be unique within the mudlogging industry. The technology is
currently being developed with an estimated commercialization date of Q2 2018.
The technology is being developed to provide the following information as part of the 1st
phase of development.
 Volume of cuttings
The information from this technology will be integrated into the Insite software package
and combined with downhole and surface data to give a complete picture of borehole
cleaning with relation to all other drilling parameters. This will be the first device to
actually directly measure cuttings volume and not an estimation of volume derived from
cuttings weight and cuttings density.
The second phase of the development is to be able to identify the following;
 Cuttings size
 Cuttings shape
It is also hoped that the cuttings size and shape distribution can be identified and that this
information can be used to evaluate borehole stability by automatically identifying changes
in shape, and size of cuttings, and discern cavings as they pass across the shakers. This
information will be able to identify borehole breakout at its earliest stages, and will be
integrated with drilling, and petrophysical data to update wellbore geomechanical models
in realtime.
This second phase of the development is estimated to take between 8 months and 1 year
to complete.
