AutoProfiler

AutoProfiler™ automated inline fluid testing enables the transmission of crucial fluid performance data to the digital interface, providing access to what is happening at the rig from anywhere in the world. The integration of automated and digital workflows, combined with our Performance Live™ digitally connected services, maximizes efficiency with real-time recommendations to improve drilling performance and minimizes HSE risk by reducing field crew staff.

• Ensures operations without constant manual intervention
• Increases data integrity with lower HSE risks
• Incorporates self-cleaning procedures for sustained efficiency
• Transmits automatically secure data to the rig’s electronic data recorder (EDR) and cloud-based systems

AutoProfiler fluid testing is a fully computerized, rig-deployed skid that enables inline automated testing of rheological characteristics at temperatures between 4 and 65 degC as per API RP 13B-2, and also atmospheric and pressurized density of aqueous and nonaqueous fluids. Designed for installation on an exterior worksite of an active drilling rig, the unit is certified to ATEX, IECEx, and UKCA Zone 1 standards, enabling it to operate in environments that may be exposed to explosive or hazardous atmospheres. It has two primary fluid inlet valves, enabling multiple sources of drilling fluids to be analyzed consecutively without the need for further operator intervention. The source of the drilling fluid may be from test pits, mixing tanks, flowlines, or other suitable sample points. It also has a separate inlet valve for a cleaning solution. The unit is intended to operate remotely and run autonomously, 24/7. A human-machine interface (HMI) is integrated into the unit for local inspection, and the skid has provisions for remote desktop applications as well as remote data transmission to the rig’s EDR or to other cloud-enabled data storage.
