3.0 - Software Overview

Innova Well-Seeker Pro is a high performance well planning and survey management package designed for use by Operators, Well Engineering Companies and Directional Drilling Contractors. The software integrates high performance 2D & 3D graphics with a powerful database engine that allows the user to easily store and visualize their well trajectories as well as perform complex well planning and anti-collision calculations. Innova Well Seeker Pro offers exceptional performance with all the features expected of an industry leading well planning package.

  • Calculate ellipse of uncertainty (EOU) using full range of ISCWSA MWD and Gyro error models.

  • Error outputs and Centre to Centre distances validated against ISCWSA standard well paths to < 0.1% error.

  • Anti-collision scans can be run interactively during planning and drilling phases on multiple actual wells / plans.

  • User defined warning criteria and alerts can be set to notify of potential collision risk.

  • Casing and hole diameters can be included in separation factor calculation in order increase accuracy. Especially important for top hole drilling with large diameter surface casing.
