# 6.7.1 - Actual Well Properties The Actual Well Properties dialog will automatically open when a new plan is created. To access the Actual Well Properties for an existing well, right click on it in the Object Explorer.

### **6.7.1.1 - Properties** **Name:** The name displayed in the Object Explorer. **Description:** A description of the wellbore used only for information purposes. **Tolerance Circles:** Tolerance circles are for visual reference only. The radius of the inner and outer tolerance circles can be added here. These can be displayed in a plan or spider plot by selecting their inclusion in the chart properties dialog. The default colours for the inner and outer tolerance circles can be adjust in the Chart Defaults ribbon. **Force Colour:** Selecting this option and choosing a colour will ensure that this actual well will always be displayed in this colour in all the plots. This supersedes any colour options for this actual well in the ‘Chart Properties’ dialog. **Locked:** This checkbox allows the user to lock all the editable cells in the dialog. If NO password has been entered at Operator level in the set password section, then the user can freely select to lock and unlock the dialog. If a password has been added at Operator level, then the user must enter the relevant password to both lock and unlock the dialog. ### **6.7.1.2 - Vertical Section** Details of the vertical section (used for section plots and vertical section calculations) are entered here. The VS azimuth and the origin point must be entered in order to correctly calculate vertical section. When Bottom Hole Location is selected, the program will draw a straight line from the VS origin point to the last survey point and the azimuth of this line will be used as the vertical section. It is important to note that if this is selected, the vertical section will change every time a new survey is added. ### **6.7.1.3 - Depth Reference** A list of depth references available to the well can be selected from the drop-down menu. The available depth references are defined in the Well Properties, one level up. If the depth datum is changed and there are currently surveys entered, a dialog will appear asking if you wish to change the TVDs or preserve them. If the user chooses to **Change TVDs**, the TVD values of the surveys will be changed in order to preserve the TVD Subsea values. If the user chooses to **Preserve TVDs**, the TVD Subsea values will change in order to preserve the TVD. **Note:** Changing a depth datum with surveys already entered can seriously corrupt your data and a backup should be made prior to this.

### **6.6.1.4 - Magnetics** The magnetics grid allows the user to calculate geomagnetic data for the well location using any of the models available in the Well Seeker X magnetics directory. The geomagnetic data marked as Active will be used whenever ellipse of uncertainty need to calculated for the plan. **Date:** The date used to calculate the geomagnetic data. This input is required if the user is using any model other than User Defined. **Model:** Select the desired geomagnetic model from the dropdown box. By default, the IGRF and WMM models will be available. If your organisation has purchased the BGGM or HDGM models, contact Innova support () for instructions on how to integrate them into Well Seeker X. The user my also select User Defined, allowing them to manually enter the declination, dip and total field values. **Declination, Dip, Total Field:** These values will be automatically calculated using the selected model, date entered into the Date field, and the surface location of the plan. If User Defined was selected as the model, these values can be manually entered. **Active:** Only one row can be marked as active at a time. The active row is the one used to ellipse of uncertainty for the plan. **Export Geomag Data:** Located to the bottom-right of the Magnetics grid, this option exports the geomagnetic data as a document. Select the line in the ‘Magnetics’ section that you want to export the geomagnetic data for. Then select the report format as ‘PDF’ or ‘Excel’ from the drop down menu, before selecting ‘Export’ to generate the report.

### **6.6.1.5 - Survey Program** The survey program specifies how the actual wellbore is constructed and which IPMS’s will be to generate error ellipses. When the user first saves a survey, they will be asked if they want to add it to the survey program. This means that under normal operations the survey program will not ned to be manually edited. However, the user may need to manually reconstruct the plan to resolve and error, or to change which parts of the wellbore are covered by specific surveys.

Rows in the survey can be deleted by clicking on their row number and then pressing the delete key on your keyboard. In a new row, start by selecting the desired survey from the dropdown box in the **Survey** column. The user should start with the shallowest survey. The **Depth From** and **Depth To** columns will populate down to the deepest station in the selected survey. If there are overlapping surveys present for the well, modify the Depth From and Depth To values to specify which parts of the survey you want to use. **Note:** The Depth From value should always equal the Depth To value in the row above it – do not leave any depth gaps. The survey tool for each survey is displayed in the **IPM** column. If the select survey tool is highlighted in red, it means that the required IPM file is missing on your PC. The Survey Tool Editor can be opened by clicking on the **Survey Tools** button at the top-right corner of the dialog. This value is not editable here – survey tools are chosen in the Survey Properties dialog. If the actual well is a sidetrack of another well, the survey program from the motherbore will be included in the survey program, down to the tie-on point. These rows will be greyed out and un-editable. ### **6.7.1.6 - Sidetrack Details** The actual well can be turned into a sidetrack of another well using the options in this section. Follow the process below to turn the actual well into a sidetrack. Note that actual wells can only be sidetracked from other actual wells, not plans. A more detailed explanation can be found on [Well Seeker X: Sidetrack Guide](https://docs.innova-drilling.com/introduction/innova-engineering-how-to-guides/well-seeker-x-guides/well-seeker-x-sidetrack-guide) 1. Click on **Well is a sidetrack**, to activate the other features. 2. Use the **Parent Well** to select the motherbore that this actual well will be tied to. Only actual wells under the same well will be available. 3. Enter the kick off depth of the sidetrack in the **ST Depth** box. This is referenced to the depth reference of this actual well, not the parent well. 4. Choose an option from the **Errors Start** dropdown. This sets where anti-collision ellipses begin when running anti-collision between the sidetrack and it's mother bore. If **ST Point** is selected, the error ellipses for both will start at the sidetrack kick-off point, with an initial magnitude of zero. If **Surface** is selected, the error ellipses will start at surface as normal. If the actual well was imported from a Compass EDM file, this option will match the choice in the EDM file. Otherwise, it will default to ST Point. Note that this only applies to anti-collision run between the mother bore and the sidetrack. For anti-collision scans against any other well or plan, the errors will start from surface. 5. Click on the **Create Sidetrack** button. This will update the survey program with all the surveys up to the side track point from the parent well. It should be noted that all previous survey program lines will be deleted. 1. Annotations, Casings, and Formations will be copied from the motherbore into the sidetrack. Duplicate entries will be identified based on MD and will be cleaned up. Only entries above the sidetrack point will be copied. The same behaviour applies when creating a Sidetrack using the options in the context menu. ### **6.7.1.7 - Build Rate to Land** By default, the **BR to Land** column, displayed in the actual wellbore and survey views, is calculated from the principal plan. Force landing allows the user to enter a TVD, INC and AZI to project to, without having to make an alteration to the principal plan. This information only affects the **BR to Land** column data. ### **6.7.1.8 - Depleted Zone** This section allows the user to set up a depleted zone for the actual well, which can then be displayed on the 3D Chart. The depleted zone is elliptical; the **Up** and **Down** entries define the radius of the ellipse above and below the wellbore. The **Width** entry defines the radius of the ellipse to both the left and the right of the wellbore. The **Start** and **End** fields set the measured depth where the depleted zone starts and ends. Lastly the **Rotation** entry can be used to change the orientation of the ellipse. ### 6.7.1.9 - Multi-Leg Lateral This section allows the co-ordinator to designate the actual well as the motherbore for a multi-leg lateral from this section. This is only available when connected to the user organization’s remote server database. If accessed on a local database, this options will be greyed out. Check the checkbox and then enter the number of legs, not including the motherbore. At the rig site, the directional driller can create a new leg using the Side Track Wizard. See more information in section [**7.2 - Create Sidetrack**](https://docs.innova-drilling.com/introduction/innova-engineering-manual/7.0-object-explorer#id-7.2-create-sidetrack). Note that the name of the motherbore must have a UWI appended to the end of the name, with the same format as below:
