Well Seeker X - Insert a Missing Daily Report

Introduction

In some cases, a single or multiple Daily Drilling Reports (DDR) may be missing from the middle or the beginning of a well, that a user wish to add in.

When this happens, simply adding a new DDR and entering the missing date may not work. Well Seeker validates that DDR report numbers and dates remain in chronological order.

For example, if DDR #5 is missing for 05 July 2019, but DDRs #5 already exists for a later date, the existing DDRs must first be renumbered to create a gap for the missing report.

This guide explains how to insert the missing DDR while maintaining the correct DDR numbering and dates.

Procedure

1

Identify the Missing DDR

Open the Daily Reports section and identify the missing date.

In this example, the missing report is 05 July 2019.

The existing DDRs after the missing date are numbered consecutively, so a new DDR cannot simply be added as DDR #10 and assigned the missing date. WSX’s validation logic will flag this as an error and prevent a date from being saved to DDR #10 that is less than DDR #9.

2

Renumber the Existing DDRs

Starting with the last DDR, renumber each report by +1, saving at each change.

In this example change:

• Report #9 → Report #10

• Report #8 → Report #9

• Report #7 → Report #8

• Report #6 → Report #7

• Report #5 → Report #6

Important: Change backwards from the last DDR. This prevents two DDRs from temporarily having the same number.

After renumbering, the DDR sequence should look like this, with report #5 available:

3

Add the Missing DDR

Add a new DDR.

Set the DDR Report # to 5. Save the new DDR.

At this stage, do not edit the date until after the DDR has been saved with the correct report number.

4

Set the Missing Date

After saving the new DDR as Report #5, click in the to change the DDR date to 05 July 2019.

Save the DDR again.

The DDR sequence should now be chronological.

5

Select the Correct BHA and Phase

If the activity for the inserted day was non-drilling, then manually update the daily activity accordingly, to the row where on bottom drilling activity resumes. Then on the first row of drilling activity select the appropriate BHA and Phase. These values should match the BHA and phase that were active for the missing day's activities.

6

Slide Sheet

If applicable, open the relevant Slide Sheet and click in the save button. This allows the Daily Activity to update the drilling data associated with the newly inserted DDR.

Missing Report #1

If the missing Daily Drilling Report is Report #1, follow the same procedure described above, but renumber all existing reports # by +1 until Report #1 becomes available.

Once Report #1 is available, add the new DDR as Report #1 and enter the correct date.

Missing Multiple Daily Reports

If more than one day is missing, the existing reports numbers must be increased by the number of missing reports.

For example:

• Drilling started on 01 October 2025

• Drilling ended on 10 October 2025

• DDRs currently exist from Report #1 to Report #7

• DDRs for 02, 03 and 04 October are missing

There are 3 missing reports, so the existing report numbers need to be shifted by +3. In this case, change the last existing report from report #7 to report #10

The reports should then be renumbered backwards to create gaps for reports #2, #3 and #4:

• Report #7 → Report #10

• Report #6 → Report #9

• Report #5 → Report #8

• Report #4 → Report #7

• Report #3 → Report #6

• Report #2 → Report #5

• Report #1 remains Report #1

This creates the required gaps for:

• Report #2 – 02 October 2025

• Report #3 – 03 October 2025

• Report #4 – 04 October 2025

The missing reports can then be added using the available numbers following the steps explained above.
