The purpose of the software development presented in the article is to obtain detailed information about the surface of the walls in wells necessary for more efficient and safe drilling and casing of the wellbore. The developed software of the automated system “LogPWin” allows obtaining a clear idea of the mine itself, as well as reducing the time spent on processing and analyzing the model obtained during the logging process. A software product developed as a result of the work provides visualization of data coming from an acoustic profiler, giving a visual and informative idea of the object of study. The program gives detailed information about the surface of the mine’s walls through 3D modeling. It possesses the possibility of rotating and scaling the object; there is also a color palette that can be changed depending on the incoming data. The program can be applied in the oil and gas industry and mining, as well as when drilling wells for other purposes. The program interface is quite clear and simple. The structure of the program is made in such a way that it allows obtaining data for building an object not only in real time, but also through interaction with a ready-made .txt file.
Today complications during drilling and operation of oil and gas wells are unavoidable. Most of them are the result of violation of technological discipline (technology), some are due to insufficient knowledge of geological and physical conditions (especially in exploratory drilling), a lack of understanding of the causes of the phenomena preceding the complication. Sometimes performers in performing complex technological operations go to the so-called “justified” risk, as a result of which complications and accidents occur. It should be taken into account that the failure of the well even for a short time - the loss of oil and gas production. Therefore, the development of modern methods for their detection, prevention (prevention) and methods to combat their consequences is an urgent task.
Visualization of objects using computer programs can greatly facilitate the external presentation of projects of coal industry enterprises. Modern computer graphics make it possible to embody very realistic models, and since the creation of 3D objects takes less time than their implementation. 3D technologies allow you to present the model from all angles and eliminate the shortcomings identified in the process of its creation. Successfully implemented tasks in this work include: creation of a 3D model of the selected RoadHeader; importing the developed model into the Unity 3D game engine; create and customize animations for the above harvester model inside Unity. The 3D model created in this work for visual display of the equipment used in the development of coal deposits in the mining industry contributes to the improvement of the process of training specialists and work planning when training personnel to work with drilling equipment at the training stage. The presented development can serve as a visual representation in the study of the principles of mining machines, as well as in the creation of 3D objects and scenes for the tutorial “Virtual mine”.
