# 5.1 - Wells
The Wells tab displays all wells in the your organisation’s remote server database, and allows the user to select a well for use with the Well Views pages. It is split into two sections, the Wells Grid and the Map, the display of which can be toggled using the **Grid** and **Map** buttons on the left hand side of the toolbar.
The toolbar at the top of the tab contains a number of functions to filter the displayed data, and add new data to the database:
**Grid:** Shows/hides the wells grid.
**Map:** Shows/hides the map.
**Add Instant Well:** This function allows the user to quickly add a new actual well to the remote server database. See **Section 5.1.4** below.
**Import:** The import function allows the user to import well data from the third party programs Compass, Drill Plan and Well Architect. It also allows the user to apply depleted zone data to multiple wells. See **Section 5.1.5** below.
**Refresh Recent Wells:** This option refreshes the information displayed in the Wells tab for the most recently updated wells.
**Refresh All Wells:** This option refreshes the information displayed in the Wells tab for all wells in the database. Note that if the database contains a large number of wells, this can take some time.
The other options on the toolbar allow the user to filter the wells displayed in the grid or the map.
**Pinned Filters:** This option allows the user to pin commonly used filters to the toolbar. Once pinned, clicking on a filter will toggle it on/off. To pin a filter, find it in the dropdown menu and click on the icon on the right hand side. This menu is also the only way to filter the grid by **Assembly Type**.
**Search:** The search bar at the top of the page allows the user to filter the displayed wells by any keyword entered here.
**Favourite:** Filters the Wells tab to only display wells that are marked as favourites. Note that a rig can be added to your favourites by clicking on the star on the status indicator for a well.
**BHA in Hole:** Filters the Wells tab to only display wells that currently have a BHA below the rotary tab.
**Active WITS:** Filters the Wells tab to only display wells that are currently receiving WITS data.
**Incidents:** Filters the Wells tab to only display wells that have at least one incident recorded in a motor performance report.
**Curve:** Filters the Wells tab to only display wells that are currently in the curve phase of the well.
**All/7d/60d/1Y:** These options filter the End Date column in the grid so that it only displays wells drilled between now and the selected time frame.
**Show Offsets:** By default the Wells tab does not display offset wells – wells that contain no reporting data or have the N/A status. Toggle this option on to display them.
## 5.1.1 - Map
The map displays a plot of the wells in the organization’s database on a Google Maps window. The map can be moved around by left-clicking and dragging, and can be zoomed in and out using the mouse wheel. Clicking on a well will display some details.
Clicking on **View Well**will take the user to that well’s Well Details page, and select it for use with the Well Views pages.
If the map is zoomed out too far to distinguish between individual wells, the wells are clustered together with an icon that shows the number of wells in the cluster. Clicking on a cluster will zoom in, allowing the user to see individual wells.
**Note**: Google Maps uses it’s own co-ordinate reference system which usually will not match the CRS of the wells, so the location of wells on the Map will not exactly match their true location
If the user hovers over the  icon, it will display the **Map** **Layers**menu, which can toggle on additional geological and geographical information on the Map. The **Shale Basins**and **Conventional Basins**options toggles display their respective oil play areas on the Map. Additionally, they can toggle on state and county borders using the **States**and **Counties** options. Lastly, the **Well Paths** option will impose the plan view plots of the wells on the map.
To the right of the Map is the Wells Counters. These counters tally the wells in the organization’s database according to three criteria, set out below. The user can hover over each section in the Wells Counters to get more information.
## 5.1.2 - Wells Grid
The Wells Grid is a table that lists all of the wells in your organisation’s remote server database, along with some key information for each well.
Click on  to the left of a well to go that well’s Well Details page, and select it for use with the Well Views pages.
Click on  to the left of a well to open the Additional Well Grid Options menu. See **section 5.1.3** below.
The details of the columns in the grid are detailed below. Note that some of them can be edited by double clicking on them:
**Status and Favourite Indicator:** An icon showing the status of the well. If the star beside the status indicator is illuminated, then well belongs to a rig, operator or district that has been **favourited**. Clicking on the star will add or remove that well’s rig from your favourites. The table below shows the types of available status:
**Well:** Name of the Actual Well in the database. Clicking on the name will select the well and go to the Well Details page.
**Operator:** The name of the operator that the well is contained under in the database.
**Organization:** The name of the remote server database that the well is stored under.

**Description:** A text box where the user can leave a description, comment or note about the well. This can be edited by double clicking.
**Well Seeker Version:** The version of Well Seeker that was used to send the most recent update from the field to the server.
## 5.1.3 - Additional Wells Grid Options
Click on  to the left of a well to open the Additional Well Grid Options menu. This menu contains the following functions for the selected well:
**Well Info:** Expands the selected well to display some additional information:
The display is split into four sections:
1. **BHA Statistics (Top Left)**- Displays each BHA in the well and shows the Total Footage, Total BRT Hours and Average ROPs for each BHA. In the Footage and Hours columns, the orange bar represents the total distance/time that the BHA spent sliding, while the green bar represents rotating. In the ROP column, the orange bar represents the average ROP for all sliding activity, the green for rotating, and the pink bar represents the average ROP for all drilling activity.
2. **Distance to TD and 24Hr Summary (Top Right) -** The Distance to TD compares the recorded measured depth against the TD measured depth in the principal plan. Hover over the green section to display the distance drilled, and the red section to display the distance remaining. Below the Distance to TD is the 24Hr Summary and the 24Hr Lookahead. These are taken from the most recent daily report for the well.
3. **Survey Sheet (Bottom Left) -** Displays the five most recent surveys for the well. If slide sheet data is available, this will also display the slide seen, slide remaining and motor yield over the survey interval.
4. **Personnel (Bottom Right) -** Displays the names of the DD and MWD field personnel. This is taken from the Personnel Data section of the most recent daily report for the well.
**Depth v Days:** Displays a Depth v Days chart for the selected well. Offsets can be added by selecting them from the dropdown box above the chart. The offsets that are available depend on the search radius (in miles) entered into the Radius box.
**Plan v Actual:** Creates a Plan v Actual wall plot in PDF format. If a custom Plan v Actual plot has not been assigned to the well, Vantage will use the default layout. For more information on creating and assigning a custom PvA plot see the [**Plan v Actual Wall Plot Guide**](https://docs.innova-drilling.com/introduction/innova-engineering-how-to-guides/well-seeker-x-guides/plan-v-actual-wall-plot-guide).
**Data Acquisition:** Takes the user to the Data Configurations page. See **section 4.7.1.**
**Edit Costs:** Displays a grid of all daily costs associated with the well, taken from the **Costs** well view page (**section** **7.8**). The user can edit any field in the grid by double clicking on it. They can add a new cost using the row at the bottom – select a date and a cost code to automatically add the row, then fill in the other data once it is in the grid. A cost can be deleted by clicking on the red bin icon on it’s row.
**Solo Data Factory:** Requires a ROGII integration set up (see **section 4.6**). Opens the Solo Data Factory grid. This grid allows the user to search for nearby wells in the Solo database and import them as offsets. In the Radius box, enter the radius in miles you wish to search around the surface location of the well and click on **Fetch**. The Wells Found counter will show how many wells have been discovered, and the grid will populate. To import wells, click on the checkbox beside each well and then click on **Import**in the bottom right.
## 5.1.4 - Add Instant Well
This function allows the user to quickly add a new actual well to the remote server database. Follow the steps to create the well. Step 1 – Enter Well Details is the only required step, the others can be skipped and their data added later, if desired:
1. **Enter Well Details:** Enter the Object Explorer levels of the new well.
1. **Object Names:** This section is where the operator, field, facility and well level names are selected. Clicking in the operator, field or facility boxes will display a dropdown of all existing names at the selected level. This allows the user to assign the well to an existing operator/field/facility. Note to see the dropdown for a level, the level above it must already be selected. Alternatively, the user can manually enter new names for these levels. A new name must be entered at the Well level.
2. **Well Location:** Enter the surface location as a decimal latitude and decimal longitude.
3. **Rig Details:** The **Rig** dropdown can be used to select an existing rig stored in the Rigs page (see **section 4.4.2**), or the user can enter a new rig name. When the well is created, the new name will be added to the rigs page. Enter the rotary table elevation above mean sea level in the **RTE -> MSL** box.
4. **Job Data:** Enter the Job number for the new well. The Vertical Section Azimuth can optionally be entered here as well. Select either US, Canada or Rest of World from the Region dropdown. If US is selected, the State and County fields will appear. If Canada is selected, the Province field will appear.
## 5.1.5 - Import
The import function allows the user to import well data from the third party programs Compass, Drill Plan and Well Architect. It also allows the user to apply depleted zone data to multiple wells:
**Compass EDM:** Click on **Select Files** to select the desired Compass export files. Configure the below options then click on **Import**.
* **Import Survey Tools:** This will import any magnetic error models (IPM) contained in the export file and add them to the error models for your server database. See **section 4.4.6**.
* **Import Targets:** Imports any targets contained in the export file and assigns them to their associated wells/plans. Note that Compass export files can contain a lot of targets.
* **Import All Plans:** If this option is toggled off, only principal plans will be imported.
* **Import Lease Lines:** Imports any lease lines contained in the export file.
* **Assign Lease Lines:** If the above option is toggled on, then toggling this option on will assign the imported lease lines to their associated wells/plans.
* **Assign Offsets:** Enter a radius in the **Assign Offsets Radius** field. For each imported well, Vantage will find wells within the assigned radius and assign them as offsets. This is based on the surface location of each well.
* **Set Actual Well Status:** Choose a status from the dropdown menu. All imported actual wells will be assigned this status.
**Drill Plan:** Click on **Select Files** to select the desired files, then click on **Import.**
**Well Architect:** Click on **Select Files** to select the desired Well Architect files. Once selected, use the dropdown choose the well status that you want assigned to the imported wells. Then click on **Import.**
