ECLIPSE TOUCH APPLICATION NOTE: Automatic Survey Corrections

 

1. Introduction

 

Eclipse Touch has support for integrating with multiple automatic survey corrections providers. When configured, Eclipse Touch will seamlessly transmit your raw surveys to the provider and retrieve the corrections for display directly in Eclipse Touch.

 

2. Setup Instructions

 

Begin by opening Eclipse Touch and setting up your well. Once the well is set-up, click on the top half of the toolface dial where it states [Click to Configure Well/Run].

Click the Automatic Survey Corrections switch to enable ASC, click on the logo of your corrections provider, then enter the username and password given to you by the provider. You can click the eye icon next to the password field to reveal the password to ensure it is typed correctly.

When everything is entered correctly, click the Fetch Wells button to generate a list of available wells.

3. Utilizing Corrections

 

When a survey is fully decoded (all 6-axis data has been decode), the “Survey Complete Popup” will appear on screen. Enter the correct depth if the one displayed is incorrect, and mark the survey with the correct type.

After clicking “Confirm”, the survey will automatically be sent to the corrections provider for review. Eclipse Touch will check with the corrections provider every 10 seconds for the corrected information.

As Eclipse Touch receives responses from the corrections provider, the survey table will be updated to reflect the status of each survey:

Note: Each provider has different criteria for beginning survey corrections. Most providers require at least 4 surveys before corrections begin, with other providers having additional criteria on top of that. 

 

4. Manual Survey Submission

 

Users can manually submit surveys for corrections. This is useful when a survey’s depth has been edited and needs a new correction. To manually submit a single survey for corrections, click/touch the survey in the table and select “Submit for Corrections” in the pop-up menu.

Users can also submit all surveys for corrections at one time. This is useful when survey corrections are configured AFTER surveys have already been decoded. To do so, click the “Submit ALL for Corrections” button at the top of the survey table.
