Condition based maintenance program based on life-stress acceleration model and cumulative damage model

摘要

Methods and system for implementing Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) of downhole systems and equipment, including drilling tools, wireline tools and production tools is presented in this disclosure. The presented CBM-based approach combines the use of a tool life distribution with a life-stress acceleration model and a cumulative damage model to account for varying stress levels during a tool operation. The CBM methodology presented herein provide for a more effective maintenance system based on direct utilization of field data so that an appropriate maintenance can be performed at an appropriate time, thereby optimizing a frequency of performing maintenance.
