Tool Orders allows an organization to create, update and maintain oversight of all the tool requirements for upcoming and existing jobs. The Tool Orders will be managed from the server database, but local database users at the rig site can also create tool orders and push these back to the server for approval, should the requirement for more tools occur during an ongoing job.

13.21.1 – Accessing the Tool Order Dialog

The tool order dialog can be opened from two different locations within Well Seeker depending on whether the user is accessing a server or local database, and while the dialog layout is identical in both cases, the functionality varies slightly depending on how it is accessed.

13.21.1.1 – Server Database Access

This feature is designed to be primarily accessed via the server database as it allows coordinators to plan and monitor upcoming tool requirements.

When the user is logged onto a server database, from the main user interface, select Tools – Dashboards – Tool Orders Dashboard.

It is important to note that when accessing a local database, the Tool Orders Dashboard option will not be available in the dashboards list. This will only be an option when accessing a server database.

13.21.1.2 – Local Database Access

Accessing the tool order dialog from a local database is something that should only ever happen in the field, as this is where the field engineer will go to order additional tools.

In a local database, the tool order dialog is accessed via the tool inventory dialog. Tool inventories are associated with actual wells, so the user must first have a database structure in place with everything from Operator to Actual Well level.

The tool inventory is accessed by right clicking at actual well level in the database tree and selecting Reporting – Tool Inventory (below Left). Once the tool inventory dialog is open, the tool orders dialog can be accessed either via the file menu (File – Tool Orders) or via the shortcut toolbar button (below Right).

Unlike the tool order dashboard, the dialog can be accessed in this way on both the local and the server.

13.21.2 – Tool Order Dialog

The tool order dialog is split into 4 main sections which are described below.

3.21.2.1 – Menu and Toolbar

File Menu

Save: Save the active document

Print Report Excel: Prints an excel report of the selected tool order which includes all the associated order details which have the print option selected

Print Report PDF: Prints a pdf report of the selected tool order which includes all the associated order details which have the print option selected

Email Report: Opens a Microsoft Outlook email with the tool order report attached

Exit: Closes the tool orders dialog

Tools Menu

Create new Tool Order: Creates a new tool order in the tool orders section

Delete Selected Tool Order: Deletes the selected tool order

Duplicate selected Tool Order: Duplicates the selected tool order

Refresh Grid: Refreshes the data in the tool orders and orders details sections

Update Job Data: Updates the job data in the tool orders section

Select all Tools: Selects all the tools in the orders details section for any given tool order

Un-select Tools: Unselects all the tools in the orders details section for any given tool order

Approve Order: This option can only be used when a tool order has a status selected as Request from Rig. Once approved, the status automatically changes to Submitted.

Edit Dropdown Menus: Opens the Edit Drop Down Menu dialog. The options available in the menu relate to columns in the orders details section This dialog allows the user to select an option and then enter the required items that they want to be available when the user selects the appropriate cell in the orders details section. The user can enter as many items as required. It should be noted that this option is only relevant when accessing a server database and should not be used in a local database.

3.21.2.2 – Filters

The filters section allows the user to search and filter the data in the tool orders section of the dialog.

In addition to the search cell, there are 6 dropdown options which filter the following columns (left to right):

  • Status Column

  • Rig Column

  • Operator Column

  • Needed In Column

  • DD Coordinator Column

  • MWD Coordinator Column

3.21.2.3 – Tools Orders

The tools orders section is where the user enters the top-level order information. Each tool order can have multiple tools associated with it, which are all listed in the orders details section.

Operator: The name of the Operator. This can initially be filled in manually by the user; however, once the job number has been added to the well data and personnel section of a daily report, Well Seeker will automatically pull the Operator’s name into this cell, over writing anything that has been previously entered.

Job#: The job number. This is a very important cell as the job number is what links the tools orders to the jobs in the database tree. When the same job number is entered in the well data and personnel section of a daily report, several of the cells in this section will populate automatically.

Hole Size: The hole size

Well: The well name. This can initially be filled in manually by the user; however, once the job number has been added to the well data and personnel section of a daily report, Well Seeker will automatically pull the well name into this cell, over writing anything that has been previously entered.

State: The State. This cell should initially be left blank and will automatically populate once the job number has been added to the well data and personnel section of a daily report. Note: No manually typed data will save in this cell.

County: The County. This cell should initially be left blank and will automatically populate once the job number has been added to the well data and personnel section of a daily report. Note: No manually typed data will save in this cell.

Rig: The Rig. This cell should initially be left blank and will automatically populate once the job number has been added to the well data and personnel section of a daily report. Note: No manually typed data will save in this cell.

Mud Type: The Mud Type.

Mud Weight: The Mud Weight.

Min Temp: The expected minimum downhole temperature

Max Temp: The expected maximum downhole temperature

Status: A drop down menu offers the following options: Draft, Submitted, In Progress, Complete, Shipped & Requested from Rig. When Request from Rig is selected, the line will be highlighted in blue, and the dropdown menu will no longer be available to select from. At this point, the only way to change the status is to select Approve Order from the Tools Menu.

Date Needed: The date the tools are required.

Needed In: This cell populates automatically and displays the number of days until the tools are required. For 0-6 days the cell will be highlighted red, 7-30 days the cell will be highlighted orange and >30days the cell will be highlighted green.

Created By: The name of the person who created the tool order. This will be automatically populated based on the user credentials used when logging onto the server database.

Created Date: Automatically populated with the date the tool order was created.

Modified By: The name of the last person who modified the tool order. This will be automatically populated based on the user credentials used when logging onto the server database.

Modified Date: Automatically populated with the date the tool order was last modified.

Comments: General Comments

Motor Comments: Comments related to any motors on order

Tool Comments: Comments related to any tool that is not a motor.

13.21.3 – Tool Order Procedure

The Tool Orders dialog works differently depending on whether it is accessed on a remote server database or on a local database. When accessed on a remote server database, the Tool Orders dialog is designed to be used by a coordinator to monitor and update tool requirements for multiple jobs. When accessed on a local database, the Tool Orders dialog is designed for an operator in the field to make requests for tools and push them back to the server for approval.

The procedure for creating and modifying tool orders differs slightly between a server and a local database, and is described in the sections below.

13.21.3.1 – Server Database Procedure

The below steps assume that the user already has a Well Seeker Pro remote server database:

  1. The user should log on to their remote database and access the Tool Order dialog as described in section 13.21.1.1 – Server Database Access.

3. Input details for each of the tool order detail types in the Select menu option dropdown list.

13.21.3.2 – Local Database Procedure

The below steps assume that the user already has a Well Seeker Pro local database, populated with an actual wellbore:

  1. In a local database, the user should access the Tool Order dialog via the Tool Inventory of the desired actual well, as described in section 13.21.1.2 – Local Database Access.

  2. When the dialog opens it checks the IP and Port values entered in the Real Time Data Exchange dialog. If these are correct, then the dropdown menu options for the Order Details cells will be populated from the information on the server database.

3. Create the tool order and order details as described above for the server database procedure. Any tool orders created on the local database will automatically be given the status of Request from rig.

The Tool Orders dialog will open. Prior to the first use of the Tool Orders, it is recommended that the user input all the of the available tool order options that users will be able to select when creating a tool order in future. Select either Tools > Edit drop down menus or the icon from the toolbar.

4. To add a new Tool Order, select Tools > Create new tool order or select the icon from the toolbar. This will create a new row in the Tool Orders table.

Any tool orders with the status of Request from rig are a tool order that has been pushed from a local database to the server database. A user on the server can the approve this request for tools by selecting the tool order in question and selecting Tools > Approve order, or select the icon on the toolbar. This will change the status from Request from rig to Submitted.

This will change the status from Request from rig to Submitted.

4. To send this tool order request back to the server database, select the icon, or select Tools > Send order to server. The tool order can then be approved by the administrators from the server database and acted upon.
