a stand by stand or joint by joint basis and for an entire trip i e a complete removal from or insertion into the wellbore of a drill string as set forth in the background section herein different users of the method and system may use different levels of granularity for example the driller drilling unit operator is likely to be interested in stand by stand information while the wellbore operator or wellbore designer is more likely to be interested in the overall trip information it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that tripping operations are most commonly conducted by assembling or disassembling multiple segment assemblies typically each consisting of three segments or joints of drill pipe and or drill collars heavy weight drill pipe and or drilling tools each such multiple segment assembly is referred to as a stand it should be clearly understood that while the present description is made in terms of stands the use of the methods described herein is not limited to tripping by stands the methods are equally applicable to single joints or stands having more or fewer than three segments joints of the above described items while tripping a joint or stand the guidance and statistical processing method according to the present disclosure calculates acceleration deceleration and maximum speed within a selected window or range to either trip in or out of the well without incurring corresponding surge or swab effects or damaging shock and vibration effects the acceleration deceleration and maximum speed may be presented to the drilling crew as an idealized target speed profile over time for tripping a particular stand such idealized speed profile may.
