The Well Views pages allow the user to select a specific well from their organization’s database and view detailed information on it. When viewing one of these pages, the user can select a well by clicking on the icon in the top right of the Web Portal window, next to the User Profile icon.
This will open the Select Well menu, which provides a list of the wells available. By default, only wells with active, upcoming, standby or TD status will be visible. The user can enable all wells by toggling the All Wells option at the top of the list. They can also search for a well by entering its name into the search bar. Wells that are followed will appear at the top of the list. See 3.3 - Additional Options for more information on following wells.
The user should select a well by left clicking on it. Once a well has been selected, its name, rig and job number will be displayed at the top of the Web Portal window.
Most pages have an Edit Menu that can be accessed by clicking on the icon in the bottom right of the page, giving the user access to additional options:
The function of each of the separate Well View pages is described in the subsections below.
The Well Details page allows the user to create their own custom summary page for the selected well. The page is made up of cards, each of which convey a different piece of data about the well. The user can add, remove, and rearrange these cards so that all the desired information can be monitored from a single page.
Cards can be moved around the window by left clicking and dragging the title of the card. The card can be resized by left clicking and dragging the bottom right corner of the card. The card can be closed by clicking on the icon in the top right of the card.
Closed cards can be re-added using the Well Details Edit Menu, which can be accessed by clicking on the icon in the bottom right of the Web Portal.
Select Cards – Opens the select cards dialog box. The user can toggle on/off the desired cards and then save their selection by clicking Apply.
Reset Layout – Resets the Well Details page to the default layout.
The EDR is a real time display of the drilling activity on the selected rig. It displays up to date drilling parameters along with survey and toolface information. It requires a WITS transfer from the rig site to the organisation’s server. The user can check if the WITS transfer is active for the selected well by looking at the Wells List page.
The EDR also requires a data config set up and running for the selected well. See section 10 Data Acquisition for more information.
The user can export each part of the EDR by right clicking, allowing the user to save the selected part as an image or copy it to the clipboard.
The EDR is split into four sections. On the left of the EDR is the Well Schematic. This shows the casing, liner and open hole configuration of the well. Hovering over a section will show the depth range and diameter of the section. The depths and diameters of the well casing are set in the organisation’s server or uploaded from the rig site.
In the centre of the EDR is the drilling parameter log. The log takes drilling parameter data from the rig via the WITS transfer and plots it on three traces. The first trace contains the surface torque, rate of penetration and pump flow rate. The second trace contains the hookload, weight on bit and block position in the derrick. The third trace contains the standpipe pressure, differential pressure and top drive rotations per minute. The maximum and minimum values for each parameter are shown in the key at the top of the log. The user can hover over the log to see a readout for each parameter in the key. The log is plotted against time, with the most recent update at the bottom of the log. The user can scroll with the mouse wheel to see historical data from an earlier time.
On the right is the toolface rose. This shows the current orientation of the motor, if there is one in the hole, as well as visualising how far the well is deviating from the principal plan. The centre of the toolface rose represents the principal plan. The most recent survey and bit projection are plotted as a dark green and light green dot, respectively. Their distance from the centre represents their displacement from the principal plan, while their position around the outside of the circle shows if they are above/below or to the right/left of the plan.
The blue bars represent the most recent real time toolfaces received. The number in the centre of the toolface rose is the most recent one. The dark green cone represents the effective toolface (ETF) based on the average of the most recent surveys. The light green cone represents the intended drilling direction, also known as the target toolface (TTF).
Below the toolface rose are the current rig state and the real time gauges. The current rig state shows whether the BHA is rotating or sliding and the current bit measured depth. The hole depth shows the total measured depth drilled for the well.
The real time gauges show the most up to date drilling parameters sent from the rig via the WITS transfer. These are the standpipe pressure, rotations per minute, weight on bit, rate of penetration, differential pressure and torque.
The Anti-Collision page shows the anti-collision results between the selected well (also referred to as the reference well for anti-collision purposes) and any offset wells assigned to the selected well. Currently, offset wells are set within the organisation’s database and cannot be changed in the Web Portal.
Anti-collision is the process of calculating the ellipse of uncertainty around each of the reference and offset wells and measuring the distance between them to see if they within acceptable limits. Anti-collision rules are set at operator level. For more information see section 8.1 - Operator.
In the bottom section of the page all offset wells are broken down into their individual survey stations and an anti-collision result is given for each one. The list can be filtered by typing the name of an offset well into the search bar at the top of the list. Surveys are highlighted in red if they represent the minimum value for either the centre-to-centre distance (C2C), ellipse separation (ES) or separation factor (SF). For each survey point the Anti-Collision page displays the following information:
MD, Inc, Azi: The measured depth, inclination and azimuth of the reference well.
Off MD, Off Inc, Off Azi: The measured depth, inclination and azimuth of the offset well.
Off TVD, Off NS, Off EW: The total vertical depth, north/south position and east/west position of the offset well.
Ref Casing, Off Casing: The size of the casing for the reference and offset well. Depending on the anti-collision settings on the operator page, these could be added or subtracted to the ellipse of uncertainty for the wells.
TFO: The bearing of the offset well from the reference well.
Ref Ellipse, Off Ellipse: The size of the semi-major axis in ellipse of uncertainty for the reference and offset wells.
Ellipse Sep: The ellipse separation between the reference and offset wells.
C2C: The distance between the centre of the reference and offset wellbores.
SF: The separation factor between the reference and offset wells.
Warning: If any warnings are violated at the current survey point it will be highlighted here.
The top of the page is split into four charts – the anti-collision summary, travelling cylinder, separation factor plot and ladder plot. These sections can be scrolled through by clicking on the arrows to the left and right of the page, or by clicking on one of the four buttons at the bottom of each chart.
The four charts are described in the sections below:
The Anti Collision Summary lists all offsets and show the points where the centre-to-centre distance (C2C), ellipse separation (ES) and separation factor (SF) are the smallest. The centre-to-centre distance and separation factor are colour coded to show if they have violated any warning levels.
The Travelling Cylinder is specialised anti-collision plot that shows the relative distance and bearing of offset wells. The centre of the plot is the centre point of the reference well. The selected offset wells will display over the entire depth range of the individual offset wells, unless a depth filter has been applied using the TVD Min/TVD Max options.
The distance of a survey point from the centre of the plot represents the centre-to-centre distance between the reference well and that point. The bearing of a point is referenced to well highside or true north depending on the HS Ref setting.
The plot can be zoomed in and out using the mouse wheel. The Travelling Cylinder plot has some extra options on the left:
HS Ref: When checked, the travelling cylinder will be referenced to the highside of the selected well. The bearing of other wells is measured from the highside of the selected well. When turned off, the travelling cylinder will be referenced to true north. The bearing of other wells is measured from true north.
Depth Labels: Adds a measured depth and TVD value to each survey point.
Well Names: Adds the well name to each offset well.
TVD Min / TVD Max: Allows the user to set a depth filter for the plot. Offset wells will only display survey points with a TVD above the TVD Min value and below the TVD Max Value.
The separation factor plot shows the separation factor vs measured depth for all offset wells for the selected well. The lines running horizontally across the chart represent the warning levels are set in the Operator page. The chart can be zoomed in by scrolling the mouse wheel and moved around by left clicking and dragging. Hovering over a line will display the name of the offset well along with the measured depth and the separation factor at that point.
The ladder plot shows the centre-to-centre distance vs measured depth for all offset wells for the selected well. The red bar under each line represents the size of the ellipse of uncertainty for that well. The chart can be zoomed in by scrolling the mouse wheel and moved around by left clicking and dragging. Hovering over a line will display the name of the offset well along with the measured depth and the centre-to-centre distance at that point.

Rig: Toggles the display of a 3D drilling model at the surface location of the select well.
Wellheads: Toggles the display of 3D wellhead models at the surface location of the offset wells.
Survey Stations: Toggles the display of survey stations, which appear as green spheres.
Casing: Toggles the display of casing points assigned to the selected well.
Annotations: Toggles the display of any annotations assigned to the selected well.
Formations: Toggles the display of any formations assigned to the selected well, which appear as horizontal planes on the plot.
Targets: Toggles the display of any targets assigned to the selected well.
Well Names: Toggles the display of well names. These appear at the final survey station on each well/plan.
Survey Labels: Toggles the display of survey labels for the selected well. These appear next to each survey station of the selected well, and display the measured depth, inclination azimuth, TVD and dogleg recorded at each survey.
Worksight Radius: Allows the user to change the size of the worksight.
The Phase Statistics page shows the distance drilled during each phase of the selected well.
The X-Axis represents distance drilled. The Y-Axis list the phase code of each phase recorded in the daily activities of the selected well. The bars for each BHA are coloured to show the split between rotary drilling and slide drilling.
Right clicking on the plot allows the user to save the chart as an image or copy it to the clipboard.
The BHA Statistics page shows the drilling performance of each BHA in the selected well.
The X-Axis represents distance drilled. Every BHA in the selected well is listed down the Y-Axis, with the total distance drilled in brackets besides each BHA. The bars for each BHA are coloured to show the split between rotary drilling and slide drilling.
Right clicking on the plot allows the user to save the chart as an image or copy it to the clipboard.
The Plan View page displays a plan view plot of the selected well. The X-Axis of the plot shows the Local East/West displacement from the wellhead, while the Y-Axis shows the Local North/South Displacement.
