Description

Abstract – In the blink of an eye. An eye blink takes approximately 0.4 second and the high frequency vibration and gyro sensors currently available from multiple suppliers enable drilling analysis in this time domain. Fracture ID provides information from high frequency sensors fitted to drill bits and string subs for increased understanding of what is physically occurring downhole. Bio - Keith “Peach” Holtzman graduated from the Pennsylvania College of Technology with an associate degree in Heavy Equipment Technologies in 1982. For the first 24 years of his oilfield career, he worked for Halliburton where he spent 20 years in Alaska in various drilling repair and maintenance and planning and operations positions. These included Well Planning Engineering Manager, Directional Drilling Coordinator, and Drilling Technology Manager. This was followed by 4 years in a North America Regional Drilling Optimization Manager position based in Denver. He then worked 6 years for Devon Energy advising a real time center and business units as a drilling SME. Since leaving Devon he has taken on the role of Senior Drilling Advisor with Fracture ID where he has been advancing the development of high frequency data drilling analysis. Peach holds three drilling related patents and has co-authored two technical papers.
