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. The following functions are unique to the Wells tab:

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.

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:

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.

1. 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.

1. 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.

1. 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.

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.

Edit Costs: Displays a grid of all daily costs associated with the well, taken from the Costs well view page (section 7.9). 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.

Import EDR and Job Data: Allows the user import electronic data reader (EDR) data in .csv format for the well. This data can also be used to generate daily activity and slide sheet data. The process for this is covered in section 5.1.4 – Add Instant Well.

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.

Replicate well to home org: This option is only available if you organisation has been granted access to view another organisation’s wells in your Dashboard, via the Database Access page (section 4.9.4). Using this option on a well from another organisation will create a copy of the well, with all of its associated data, in your organisation’s database. The new well will have your organisation listed in the Organisation column.

Data Config: Opens the Data Configuration dialog for the well. See section 5.5.

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.

      1. 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.

2. EDR Data: This step allows the user to import drilling parameter data from an electronic data reader (EDR), if they have it available. Drag a .csv file containing the data into the top area to preview the data. Double click on the fields in the second row of the table to reassign the data type in each column, if required.

Use the options below the table to customise the import:

Append: Toggle this on to overwrite any existing EDR data that exists in the same time range as the imported data.

UTC/Rig: If the TIME STAMP column is recorded in Coordinated Universal Time, select UTC. If it is recorded in the local rig time, select Rig.

Create Daily Activities: Toggle this option on to use the EDR data to automatically generate daily activities for the Daily Reports page.

Overwrite Daily Activities: Toggle this option on to overwrite existing daily activity data with data generated from the EDR. Requires the above option to be toggled on.

Unit Set: Choose the unit set that the data was recorded in.

Advanced Slide Detection: Uses torque values instead of RPM to distinguish between rotary and slide drilling. Toggle this on if sliding intervals are not being detected, due to RPM data values not displaying oscillation variation i.e., flatlining for multiple data points.

1. BHA Details: Use this section to create the BHAs used in this well. This allows Vantage to build the slide sheet for each BHA and assign parameters. If the Create Daily Activities option was toggled on in the previous step, this will also allow Vantage to assign pickup/laydown codes and drilling activity to the correct BHA in the Daily Reports page.

2. Phase Details: Use this section to define the start and end times of each phase. This allows Vantage to correctly match the phase to drilling activity in the Daily Reports page, and to parameter data for KPI analysis.

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.

Depleted Zones: To import depleted zone data, it must be contained in an Excel or CSV file, and arranged in the below format:

Click on the Choose File option and select the data file. Then click on import to apply.
