Engineers wanting a tool that offers interactive 3D visualization for their planning and drilling operations

About WellArchitect

WellArchitect, developed in conjunction with Baker Hughes Company, is an advanced well planning and survey management system for integrated planning and drilling of directional wellpaths with or without earth models. Devised to seamlessly accommodate the needs of sidetracking, multi-lateral wellpaths, and re-entry drilling, WellArchitect is used at both the office and wellsite, by all personnel levels in the industry. Trajectory calculations, target erosion by positional uncertainty, reporting, plotting, and 3D visualization are all included in this package. Wellpaths can be juxtaposed against earth models, reservoir models, and more (above). Data used with permission of the owner. Combines powerful directional drilling software with advanced 3D visualization tools and optional reservoir geo-data, a major step forward for the drilling industry. Handles everything from planning and survey calculations through data management and collision-risk analysis.

COMPASS

Rock properties, torque and drag, cost, and the location of existing wells can all cause potential problems and affect the optimal well trajectory. Designed for both oil companies and directional drilling contractors, COMPASS™ is the industry’s premier application for directional well path planning, survey data management, and anti-collision analysis enabling engineers to steer the bit into the profitable pay zone. Whether simple or complex, COMPASS directional path planning software can optimize drilling trajectories quickly based on cost, torque and drag, or anti-collision criteria. When carrying out infill drilling, the software’s well path planner can automatically recommend the most appropriate well to sidetrack, saving days of costly trial and error analysis. Set up customized anti-collision scans interactively while planning, surveying, or projecting ahead. Set up warnings and automatic email notifications to alert users.

(2 Ratings)

Simultaneously compare different vendors tool response against your specific reservoir geology to identify the most suitable tool and resistivity curves. Incorporate all memory data to create high-accuracy final inversions. Deploy the inversion module on High Performance Computing (HPC) devices for fast results. Calculate the distance to bed boundary in real-time to prevent exiting the target zone and staying in the reservoir. Set up phase shift and attenuation curves from non-azimuthal tools, interval length and parameters for conducting 2-layer boundary mapping in real-time, To predict a tool's log response in advance, build the earth model of the formations you are drilling and easily model resistivity effects: shoulder effects, polarization horns and anisotropy.

Petrel

The Petrel platform is available on-premise and in the DELFI cognitive E&P environment, for geoscientists and engineers to analyze subsurface data from exploration to production, enabling them to create a shared vision of the reservoir. This shared earth approach empowers companies to standardize workflows across E&P and make more informed decisions with a clear understanding of both opportunities and risks. Integration at the data level is the foundation for enabling multi-discipline integration. This integration allows the capture and preservation of knowledge, from exploration to production—from the petroleum systems modeler to the reservoir engineer and beyond, all contributing to a shared vision of the subsurface. Whether you are working on your first deepwater exploration well or delivering a comprehensive drilling program in a shale play, the Petrel platform enhances multidisciplinary workflows.
