WELL PLANNING

COMPASS
COMPASS software is designed for both oil companies and directional drilling contractors for
directional well path planning, survey data management, anti-collision analysis and to keep the
bit on target. COMPASS directional well planning software can optimize drilling trajectories
quickly based on cost, torque/drag, or anti-collision criteria. When carrying out infill drilling, the
softwares well path planner can automatically recommend the most appropriate well to
sidetrack, saving days of costly trial and error analysis.
DecisionSpace WELL PLANNING
DecisionSpace Well Planning software is a collaborative well and field development planning
which integrates all relevant data from all domains in one unified 3D workspace. Planners can
generate well trajectories, pad or platform locations, and reservoir targets in the
DecisionSpace 3D visualization environment. Asset teams can generate and evaluate more
development scenarios, and quickly respond to risks or changes to scheduling or capital
expenditure constraints.
WELL ENGINEERING
DecisionSpace Well Engineering
DecisionSpace Well Engineering software is built on the WELLPLAN software suite, by
extending the features while making it dramatically easier to use. It is suitable for designing
complex well string operations requires rigorous analysis to define the key aspects of each piperelated operation in the wellbore to ensure safe and cost effective designs. It also provides a
powerful method of performing sensitivity analysis to analyze ranges of different alternatives.
Instead of performing numerous manual iterations, user can define a range of values and
perform them all at once.
WELLPLAN
WELLPLAN software provides drilling and completions engineers a comprehensive set of
software tools for analysis, well planning, modeling, and well operations to create optimal well
designs for any challenge. It uses sophisticated engineering science and modeling to enable
engineers to analyze and improve well designs, prevent stuck pipe and BHA failures, reduce
drilling problems, and drill better wells more efficiently. It has:
Torque/Drag

Hydraulics

Detailed analysis of the torque and drag forces affecting the drill string,
casing or liner.

Comprehensive pressure drop calculations, bit hydraulics, and hole

cleaning analysis.
BHA DrillAhead
Models drilling performance of steerable and rotary drilling assemblies.
Critical
Speed Models BHA behavior and identifies critical rotary speeds and high
Analysis
stress concentration in the drill string.
OptiCem
Analysis tools to design and simulate cementing operations.

Well Control

Surge
Stuck Pipe

Kick tolerance analysis along with complete modeling of pressure

effects observed in the wellbore during kill operations (generates kill
sheets).
Transient analysis for swab, surge and reciprocation operations to
avoid well control problems and formation damage.
Calculates stuck point, back-off force, and jar setting and tripping
forces.

CasingSeat

CasingSeat software is a graphical tool for accurately determining casing setting depth
and viable casing and wellbore schemes. The software features inventory-based
management of permissible-hole and casing-size combinations. User can identify and rank
casing schemes using bottom-up or top-down solution methods, based on minimum settingdepth requirements and maximum permissible drill-ahead depths.
StressCheck
StressCheck takes the trial and error out of designing casing, liner, and tubing strings. The
software features graphical design tools and algorithms that automatically generate minimumcost solutions that minimize the cost of well tubulars. It enables quick, systematic, and accurate
valuation of casing wear limits, and can provide comprehensive tri-axial and working-stress
design for burst, collapse, and axial installation, and service-life loads to maximize the use of
the most cost-effective casing for each particular situation.
WELLCAT
WELLCAT software lets engineers model complex high pressure, high temperature (HP/HT)
environments such as deep water and design the most appropriate casing and tubular design,
while obtaining both the right well integrity and the best cost configuration.
It has the modules of:
Drill Design
Casing Design

Prod Design
Tube Design
Multi-string
Design

Simulate fluid flow and heat transfer during drilling operations, for full transient
analysis.
Analyze single casing loads and buckling behavior under complex
mechanical, fluid pressure, and thermal-loading conditions. Analyses may be
performed in conjunction with the Drill Design and Prod Design modules
(including tubingless configurations).
Simulate fluid flow and heat transfer during completion, production,
stimulation, testing, and well-servicing operations.
Analyze tubing loads and movements, buckling behavior, and design integrity
under complex mechanical, fluid-pressure, and thermal-loading conditions.
Predict pressure and volume changes due to annular pressure buildup (APB)
when the well system heats up as a result of production operations or the
injection of hot fluids into the well.
