A PUBLICATION OF Spring 2009 ReelDirection NOV Well Intervention and Stimulation Equipment World s Leading Equipment Supplier for: Coiled Tubing Units Snubbing Nitrogen Pumping Fracturing Cementing Pressure Pumping Wireline Pressure Control Data Acquisition INTRODUCES MERLIN CONTROL SYSTEM AT 2009 ICoTA The Merlin Control System is Hydra Rig s next generation of Coiled Tubing Unit (CTU) controls for today s evolving coiled tubing market. It is a hydraulic powered, computer controlled system that provides unprecedented operational performance and safety for coiled tubing unit operation. The Merlin Control System is built around the Amphion TM Single Board Computer, a proven, oilfield hardened SBC developed by NOV specifically for use in mobile rig control applications. Multiple touch screens provide complete unit control and monitoring, for consistent unit performance and job results from operator to operator. The system also provides for integrated operation of nitrogen and fluid pumping units for single point job control from the Merlin control cabin. Contents Page 2 NOV Hydra Rig, Ft.

A NEW INNOVATION IN COILED TUBING UNIT CONTROL The Merlin control system is most readily apparent in the control cabin. The cabin is now a dry design, with no high pressure hydraulics. Only one electrical umbilical cord is needed to connect the cabin to the rest of the CTU. The interior has been ergonomically redesigned for the new touch screen control console. Interior features include an upgraded operator s control chair, wrap around solid surface control center, rear bench seat with monitoring station, and purpose-built, ruggedized climate control unit. The cabin shell itself is constructed using Hydra Rig s rigid foam composite panel shell system and the larger front and side windows provide the operator with excellent job visibility. Mundane, repetitive functions are out of the operator s hands, reducing the potential for operational errors. Touch Screen controls with minimal discreet controls for ESD and BOP functions. Precise computer control and logic automates auto drill functions for reduced operator fatigue. Computer controlled injector chain traction and tension virtually eliminates pipe slippage, and helps protect the tubing string from mechanical damage. Programming of safety logic allows the CTU to automatically react with unparalleled speed and precision to changing job conditions that arise during a job. Machine and job limits can be preset to protect against damage to critical components and to improve job safety performance. Merlin self troubleshoots. Any failed component, its location and function, is reported to the operator. Integrated data acquisition of all job parameters utilizing the CTES Orion and Cerberus DAS allows real time job monitoring, storage, and reporting, as well as remote monitoring. Operators can now concentrate on down-hole functions to insure proper job performance. Built-in simulator program provides off-well operator training. Caption describing picture or graphic. Page 2
The hydraulically driven, fully automated reel, shown left, is based on Hydra Rig s D3000 Drop-In-Drum design. The autospooler function controls proper coiled tubing wraps through automated control of the levelwind drive for consistent, even spooling of the coiled tubing on and off the drum. The multifunction, size adjustable counter monitors tubing speed and depth, and is designed to integrate the CTES Argus Tubespec or CT Dog. The power pack, shown right, is driven by a Caterpillar diesel engine and has a 90 GPM closed loop hydraulic system. Hydraulic lines and all Merlin control cables are stored on reels on power pack and are routed to each Merlin component. On board power generation is supplied by either hydraulic driven or independent engine-driven generator. The power pack has a redundant control console for complete unit control at the power pack in case of emergency. The Merlin control system is initially installed on the Hydra Rig model HR 680 injector, shown above. The system incorporates computer control of traction, tension, brake state, tubing lubrication, and stripper. Merlin also detects impending chain slippage and auto- adjusts traction pressure, reducing the possibility of pipe damage due to slippage. Encoders monitor chain speed and log injector footage for maintenance. Integrated hydraulic control manifolds reduce the control hose bundle from 15 hoses to 6. Page 3
NOV Texas Oil Tools announces new actuator for Subsea BOP s The subsea actuator was designed to occupy a smaller footprint and to enhance safety. BOP ram inspection, maintenance, and hydraulic ram change (versus manual) make it easier and safer to service. Substantial space saving in subsea rig-up. Overall width decreased by 50% Hydraulic ram-change design Proven wedgelock design with low friction, quick open feature New design manufactured in 7-3/8 bore, 10,000 psi working pressure. Smaller sizes to follow Rated to water depth of 10,000 feet. Designed to API and ISO requirements 7-3/8 10,000 psi Subsea BOP NOV CTES unveils its new Slickline Data Acquisition System, featuring slickline fatigue life tracking The new NOV CTES Orion SL Life Saver acquires, records, and displays slickline operating data to estimate fatigue along the length of a slickline, thereby tracking remaining fatigue life. This tracking helps users avoid costly field failures and optimizes the slickline replacement schedule. The Orion SL Life Saver operates by monitoring slickline forces and bending events as tools are run in and out of a well. The standalone system records slickline information via an encoder mounted on a cable depth-measuring device. An electronic load cell provides tension data. Software Features and Benefits: OrionNET software arrives pre-installed in the unit: Real-time SL fatigue calculations help prevent slickline breakage and subsequent fishing jobs Acquires, displays, and records depth, tension, line speed, and one additional analog data channel High-speed, sensitive tension display detects tickle (small variations in tension) when moving past downhole restrictions Easy operation: single switch provides power on and go data acquisition and USB media storage Review Percent (Fatigue) Life Used and Tension To discuss the many advantages of using the Orion SL Life Saver, please contact the NOV CTES Business Development Group at +1 936 521 2200, or stop by Booth #313 at the SPE/ICoTA 2009 Coiled Tubing Well Intervention Conference.
