Release Notes for 3.0.3.4 (06^th October 2025)

• Changed the way error ellipses are drawn in the 3D and plan view plots.

  • In 3D view standard ellipses now display 2 crossed ellipsoids, one is the high side lateral ellipse and the other is the lateral along hole ellipse. This will show the correct representation of the errors in all directions.

  

  • In the 3D view there are now options in the chart properties to display as a cone or an ellipsoid.

  

  • On the plan view the error ellipse plotted is the NEV ellipse from the covariance matrix. This means that the ellipse semi major may not always be perpendicular to the wellbore.

• Slide/Rotate rig states logic has been updated to accommodate scenarios where the WITS data frequency caused the rpm values during oscillation to not vary much. New logic takes rpm variation as the primary indicator and torque as a secondary indicator for oscillation

If it managed to do the above tools will be transferred in Oasis, if not there will be an error displayed.
