Abstract:
Calibrating Friction Factors. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods including: calibrating friction factor for a drilling operation by: plotting on a display device the expected hook load versus depth for the drilling operation; displaying plot points on the display device, each plot point indicative of a measured hook load versus depth for the drilling operation; selecting a plot point associated with a depth, the selecting responsive to a cursor hovering over the plot point on the display device; displaying a friction factor values which correlates the expected hook load versus depth for the particular depth to the measured hook load versus depth for the plot point, selecting the value responsive to the cursor hovering over the value; and then shifting on the display device at least a portion of the indication of expected hook load versus depth based on the value of friction factor.

Abstract:
An illustrative scenario compiling method that includes providing a visual representation of a well having well components mapped to different areas of the visual representation, responding to a selection of one of the well components with a list of data sets corresponding to the well component, retrieving a selected data set from a corresponding database, storing the data set in a common location with selected data sets of other well components, and saving the selected data sets as a scenario to be used for assembling a future collection of data sets as input for analysis software.
