1 AUTOMATED RIG CONTROLS

2 AUTOMATED RIG CONTROLS (ARC) MEETING TOMORROW S CHALLENGES TODAY Tesco is commited to delivering exceptional products and aftermarket support throughout the life cycle of your equipment. Available for both new and existing Tesco Top Drives, Automated Rig Controls (ARC) is a technologically advanced, softwarebased platform designed to enhance and optimize the drilling process. ARC takes input from drilling engineers, drillers, directional drillers and live rig data to accurately model drillstring characteristics and adjusts top drive parameters in real time. Data flow between ARC components and the rig enables an optimization of well profile, rate of penetration (ROP) and bit life. By implementing ARCFit, Reactive maintenance is a thing of the past. It enables rig personnel to predict maintenance and service of drilling equipment to reduce NPT. New Tesco Electric Top Drives can now be delivered ARCReady upon request, equipped from the factory with the features necessary to run Tesco s drilling optimization suite of products. Components include a Top Drive mounted Remote I/O, a VFD PLC panel, an ARC-Ready Driller s Panel and an updated Service Loop. For retrofit Electric Top Drives, a hardware kit installation and integration will be required to ensure full ARC functionality. No matter your Top Drive, options for user interface includes a choice of Tesco-supplied touchscreens or the ability to supply your own. In order to remain connected to back office drilling support staff and to have data available globally, customers may choose a Tesco-supplied satellite or connect the ARC system into their own internet connection. Once the hardware is installed, customers have access to the ARC suite of drilling optimization products with a subscription. Key Features & Benefits: Mitigation of drill string stick-slip anomalies through autotuning, resulting in increased ROP and extended bit life Automated directional control system helps get weight to bit on long reach horizontals Predictive, condition based and preventative maintenance for optimum operation of critical equipment

3 ARCFit ARCFit is Tesco s solution for ensuring rig operations keep running smoothly by constantly monitoring critical components. Tesco s ARCFit helps track equipment maintenance and predicts future events. ARCFit uses a sophisticated system of sensors, communication infrastructure and real-time monitoring support to keep equipment running. The system monitors pressures, fluid flows, temperatures, shock and vibration, which allows for the prediction of critical system failures by analyzing real-time and historical data. Depending on the condition or the parameter, real-time alerts can report when parameters have exceeded set limits. Sensor only packages are available to integrate into an existing asset managment tracking system. TESCOMATION ARC customers also gain access to an exclusive web portal Tescomation. This platform provides the viewer full access to all of the data collected through any of their equipment running Tesco software. Tescomation provides customers with insight into the status and location of equipment. Tescomation also contains helpful features like the automatic ARCFit software provides a resource for both on and off-site alert system which sends a notification when equipment has staff to view the current status of their equipment in real-time, exceeded a safe level of operation. view equipment location and perform preventative maintenance by recording and reporting maintenance and service events. Having historical data available also aids in any troubleshooting that may occur, thereby reducing NPT.

4 ARCSlide The ability to drill long reach horizontal wells has been partially achieved by reducing the friction caused by the drill pipe lying fl at in the wellbore and maintaining weight on bit by oscillating or rocking the drill pipe. In traditional methods to manual oscillate while drilling, the driller must mark the pipe and count the number of pipe rotations that have gone into the drill string to know when to change the direction of the pipe s rotation. Tesco s ARCSlide system provides an automated solution to oscillate the pipe. The ARCSlide software utilizes intelligent control algorithms to automate drill string rotation, resulting in a reduction of wellbore/drill pipe friction and allowing for increased weight on bit and faster ROP. Tesco s ARCSlide maximizes your ROP during directional drilling operations. When used with a mud motor, ARCSlide eliminates the need for expensive rotary steerable technologies. ARCGuide Horizontal and directional wells are only successful if the drill bit stays on target throughout the entire wellbore. Traditional methods of adjusting the tool face incrementally until the desired outcome is obtained can be time consuming and challenging. Tesco s solution automates this process with the ARCGuide tool face control system. Once the well plan has been loaded into the ARC system, the ARCGuide calculates the required top drive movement to correctly affect downhole tool position to optimize the wellbore construction. Manual tool face control can also be used when the driller wants to control top drive operations. ARCSlide screen showing oscillation and tool face parameters Tesco s ARCGuide can work independently; or when combined with Tesco s ARCSlide system it can automatically correct the tool face while in oscillation mode. These systems working together reduce the need for driller interaction and increase drilling efficiency by minimizing course corrections.

5 ARCTork Tesco s ARCTork maximizes your ROP, plus it lengthens the life of your bit and BHA tools. Drill string anomalies such as stick-slip present challenges in the drilling process that can lead to equipment damage and reduce ROP. When stick-slip occurs in drilling, the bit slows down or even stalls on bottom intermittently as the bit sticks and slips, resulting in significant torsional vibration. The result of this condition causes severe stress on downhole tools, damage to drill pipe connections, decreased ROP, decreased bit life and severe wear on top-side drilling equipment. Tesco s ARCTork system dramatically dampens vibrations by mitigating stick-slip while drilling and reaming to improve rotary drilling efficiency. The reduction of vibrations on the downhole equipment extends the life of the bit and BHA, resulting in fewer trips out of the wellbore and lower equipment costs. By diminishing the effects of stick-slip, operators can increase ROP, saving time in the entire drilling operation.
