Before the implementation of OGEMS, the process of determining optimal jar placement in well profiles was complex and time-consuming. Site engineers relied on manual calculations and reference materials to determine the best placement location, which often led to suboptimal results and increased the risk of unsuccessful operations. The lack of a streamlined and standardized process hindered the efficiency and effectiveness of jar placement operations.

JAR PLACEMENT APP
As part of the OGEMS suite, Parallel Minds developed the Jar Placement app to revolutionize and optimize the jar placement process. This app introduced the following features, simplifying and enhancing the jar placement operation:

• Well Profile Selection: The app allowed the site engineer to select the well profile type, either horizontal or vertical (S or J-shaped). This ensured that the app’s algorithms and calculations were tailored to the specific well geometry.
• Guided Parameter Specification: The app provided a step-by-step guide to help the engineer choose and specify the standard parameters necessary for jar placement. This streamlined the parameter selection process and reduced the risk of errors.
• Optimal Jar Placement: Using the specified parameters and advanced algorithms, the app generated a drill string with the jar placed at the optimal location within the well. This ensured that the maximum impact could be applied to the stuck point, increasing the chances of successful jar operations.
• Interactive Jar Placement Adjustment: The app allowed the engineer to manually adjust the jar placement, taking into account their expertise and any additional factors. This interactive feature empowered the engineer to fine-tune the jar placement for maximum impact and operational success.
• Data Export and Validation: Once the jar placement was finalized, the engineer could export the jar placement data and share it with the engineering team for validation and approval. This streamlined communication between site engineers and the engineering team, ensuring that the jar placement adhered to the required standards and operational objectives.
