Description:
This app displays geotechnical borehole data in 3D. It provides the functionality to select data in 3D and to perform statistical analysis on the selected borehole data.

Data conversion importing and analysis apps for geotechnical borehole data analysis will be developed when the need for this functionality arises as part of other projects.

Production Drilling Parametric Analysis

Status: Beta

Principal Author: Stuart Tierney

Citation:
Tierney, SR (2019) mXrap software app, Production Drilling Parametric Analysis. Perth, Western Australia: The Australian Centre for Geomechanics, The University of Western Australia. https://www.mXrap.com

Description:
This app builds a database of drilling parameters from production rigs and provides a number of analysis options. Parameters include penetration rate, percussion pressure, rotation pressure, flush pressure, feed pressure and damper pressure.

The database is built by merging individual log files (.xml and .txt). The database analysis includes plotting of the production holes in 3D and histograms of each drilling parameter. There are also grid based analysis tools to assess the average 3D distribution of each parameter. At this stage the app has only been implemented at one site but there is potential to roll out to more sites if data is available.
