Navigating to failures in drilling system displays
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- storing a plurality of data records in a memory, wherein the data records comprise data about a drill string in a well and wherein each data record comprises;
a depth zone, wherein the depth zone comprises a range of depths in the well,a description of a component in the drill string in the depth zone for the data record, anda failure flag that, when set, represents a failure in the drill string at the depth zone for the data record;
setting a failure flag for a data record for a depth zone when a change by a user to a drilling system parameter results in the failure in the drill string at the depth zone;
using a processor with access to the memory to generate and transmit for display on a graphical user interface a schematic of a portion of the drill string; and
using the processor to emphasize on the schematic of the portion of the drill string on the graphical user interface a representation of an emphasized depth zone, wherein a failure flag in a data record for the emphasized depth zone is set; and
wherein, when emphasizing the representation of the emphasized depth zone, the processor displays text adjacent to the representation of the emphasized depth zone on the graphical user interface, the text indicating a type of failure and a range of depths at which the failure in the drill string occurred.

Abstract
A plurality of data records is stored in a memory. The data records include data about a drill string in a well. Each data record includes a depth zone, wherein the depth zone includes a range of depths in the well, a description of a component in the drill string in the depth zone for this data record, and a failure flag that, when set, represents a failure in the drill string at the depth zone for this data record. A processor with access to the memory generates and transmits for display on a graphical user interface a schematic of a portion of the drill string. The processor emphasizes on the schematic of the portion of the drill string on the graphical user interface a representation of an emphasized depth zone, wherein a failure flag in a data record for the emphasized depth zone is set.

7. A computer program stored in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, the computer program comprising executable instructions that cause a processor to:
-
store a plurality of data records in a memory, wherein the data records comprise data about a drill string in a well and wherein each data record comprises; a depth zone, wherein the depth zone comprises a range of depths in the well, a description of a component in the drill string in the depth zone for the data record, and a failure flag that, when set, represents a failure in the drill string at the depth zone for the data record; setting a failure flag for a data record for a depth zone when a change by a user to a drilling system parameter results in the failure in the drill string at the depth zone; generate and transmit for display on a graphical user interface a schematic of a portion of the drill string; and emphasize on the schematic of the portion of the drill string on the graphical user interface a representation of an emphasized depth zone, wherein a failure flag in a data record for the emphasized depth zone is set; and wherein, when emphasizing the representation of the emphasized depth zone, the processor displays text adjacent to the representation of the emphasized depth zone on the graphical user interface, the text indicating a type of failure and a range of depths at which the failure in the drill string occurred. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system comprising:
-
a memory operable to store a plurality of data records, wherein the data records comprise data about a drill string in a well and wherein each data record comprises; a depth zone, wherein the depth zone comprises a range of depths in the well, a description of a component in the drill string in the depth zone for the data record, and a failure flag that, when set, represents a failure in the drill string at the depth zone for the data record; setting a failure flag for a data record for a depth zone when a change by a user to a drilling system parameter results in the failure in the drill string at the depth zone; a processor with access to the memory, the processor operable to; generate and transmit for display on a graphical user interface a schematic of a portion of the drill string; and emphasize on the schematic of the portion of the drill string on the graphical user interface a representation of an emphasized depth zone, wherein a failure flag in a data record for the emphasized depth zone is set; and wherein, when emphasizing the representation of the emphasized depth zone, the processor displays text adjacent to the representation of the emphasized depth zone on the graphical user interface, the text indicating a type of failure and a range of depths at which the failure in the drill string occurred. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
