Recommended Job Startup Procedure

The following document details the recommended procedures to follow in Well Seeker Pro from pre-job, through to post-job. These procedures are designed to aid office and field personnel by providing a structured, repeatable workflow for them to follow. For a more detailed breakdown of each of the features mentioned in this guide, refer to the Well Seeker Manual.

The document is split into the following sections:

• Office - Pre-Job Steps

• Rig Site – Pre-Job Steps

• Rig Site – WITS Setup

• Rig Site- Drilling Operations

• Office – Monitoring Drilling Operations

• Rig Site – End Of Well Steps

• Office – Post-Job Steps

Office -Pre-Job Steps

These steps describe how to set up a job on your company’s remote server database, so that it is ready for the rig crew to download when they arrive at the rig site.

1. Log on to the SQL server field database.

If you are using a corporate license, your login window may be simplified (right) and will require you to only enter your username and password. Otherwise, you will require additional login credentials for your SQL server database (left).

2. Review your default activity, phase and cost codes. Click on the Tools menu and select Code Defaults.

3. Use the Code Defaults window to review the default activity, phase and cost codes for the server database. These codes will be applied to any new operator and actual well that is created, either manually or when imported using a Compass EDM file. When you are satisfied with your default codes, click on the Save icon and then close the window. Note that you will be able to tweak the codes for your well later.

Steps four, five and six assume that you will set up your well by importing a well plan from Compass. If you have built your well and/or well plan in Well Seeker, skip to step seven.

4. Review your Compass import settings.

5. Select Import Compass EDM file.

6. Select the correct Compass export file to import that includes final well plan and any offset wells not already included in the database. You may notice that your database tree contains slightly different names when imported into Well Seeker, compared to the original Compass file. This is because Well Seeker requires names in the database tree to be unique, whereas Compass does not. Well Seeker will modify names to avoid conflicts. For more information on the logic behind this process, visit this page: EDM Import Function Update

7. Make sure that your principal well plan has been correctly designated. Right click on the well plan and select Properties.

8. In the Plan Properties window, check the Set as Principal Plan checkbox and click Apply, then Close.

9. Right click at well level and select Insert new actual well.

10. In the Actual Wellbore Properties window that appears, input and check the actual well name, vertical section, magnetics and depth reference details. If your well is a sidetrack, refer to this page for a guide to tying your well onto its mother bore. After checking your inputs, click on Apply and then Close.

11. Right click at actual well level and select Insert new survey.

12. Input and check survey name, tie on details and survey instrument/IPM. After checking your inputs, click on Apply and then Close.

13. Double click on the newly created survey to open the survey table. Click on the Save icon. When the program asks Do you wish to add this survey to the survey program? Click Yes. Then close the survey table.

14. Double click on the actual wellbore to open the actual wellbore table. Click on the Select Offsets icon in the toolbar, or open the Tools menu and select Offset Selector.

15. In the Select Offsets window, select all relevant offset wells. If you need to select offset well plans, you will need to make them visible by activation them in the Filters section. Once you have selected the desired offsets, click on Apply and then Close.

16. Right click on the actual well and select Reporting >> Drill String Editor.

17. In the Drill String Editor window click on the Add New BHA icon in the toolbar. In the newly crated BHA, input the BHA description and BHA number. Click on the Save icon and then close the window.

18. Open the Tools menu and select Personnel Names and Details.

Rig Site – Drilling Operations

The steps below detail some of the tools available to the rig crew during drilling operations, as well as recommended procedures for filling in and performing quality control on your reporting data.

1. Fill in your daily reporting activities until you are on bottom and drilling. From this point, begin recording your slide sheet and surveys. Drilling activities can be automatically transferred from the slide sheet to the daily report using the Get DDR from Run Sheet button, as detailed in Step 9, below.

2. When viewing a survey sheet, the Up/Down, Left/Right and (Centre-to-Centre) Dist columns can be used to monitor how closely you are following the principal plan. If these columns are not available, they can be activated using the Survey Column Show Hide option in the View menu.

3. If the wrong plan is set as the principal, it can be changed using the Set as principal plan option in the Plan Properties window.

4. Plots can be viewed when a survey or plan is open. Click on any of the plot icons on the toolbar, or select them from the Plots menu.

5. When viewing a plot, offset wells/plans can be toggled on or off by clicking on the Toggle Offsets icon on the toolbar. The selected offsets can be edited by clicking on the Offset Selector icon on the toolbar or in the Tools menu.

6. Projections can be added to a survey using the Multi-Project and Project Ahead tools. Multi-project allows you to add multiple, simple projections, while Project Ahead utilises the same planning tools as the well plan. Both of these windows can be left open while working in other parts of the software. Access them using the icons in the toolbar or in Tools >> Projection Tools.

7. The Real Time Anti-Collision (RT AC) dialog can be accessed when viewing a survey. Open it by clicking on the icon in the toolbar or by selecting Tools >> Dashboards >> RT AC Warnings. The RTAC will display the anti-collision results for all selected offsets, the principal plan and any lease lines/hard lines.

8. The Directional Drilling (DD) Dashboard collects data from multiple sources within Well Seeker and displays them in one interface, allowing the Directional Driller or a RTOC to monitor drilling operations from a single screen. It is accessed via the Slide Sheet. In the Slide Sheet window, click on the DD Dashboard icon in the toolbar.

The DD Dashboard will then open. It can be left open while working in other parts of the software. Multiple DD dashboards can be opened at the same time, but this can be taxing on your computer’s CPU and memory.

The DD dashboard contains the following sections. For a detailed breakdown of these sections, refer to the Well Seeker Manual:

• Real time gauges showing various drilling parameters. Requires WITS data from the rig.

• Toolface rose displaying details of the last slide.

• Real time anti-collision.

• Recent surveys with automatic bit projection.

• 3D plot showing principal plan and bit projection.

• Drilling parameters plot and current rig state. Requires WITS data from the rig.

9. During drilling, click on the Get DDR from Run Sheet button in the Daily Reports window to automatically fill in your drilling activities using the data recorded in the Slide Sheet. Any gaps in drilling activity will be filled in with the default activity code that you set in the Report Options menu.

10. Click on the Get Params button to automatically update your run and 24hr parameters using the data recorded in your slide sheet. Update mud properties and Well Data & Personnel with any changes. Remember to fill in the Daily Costs for each day.

11. At the end of each day, it is recommended to QC your report. Open the Data Validation menu and select Check activity against slide sheet. If the drilling activities in your report do not match with the slide sheet, you will get an error message. You should also check the following:

a. The depth at the start of the day is correct.

b. All activity codes are correct.

c. If a BHA has been picked up or lay down, it has a 6O or 6P activity assigned. If no BHA is in the hole, the BHA field should be blank.

d. Every activity has a phase assigned to it.

12. It is also recommended that you backup your database at least once a day. In the main Well Seeker interface, open the File menu and select Backup Database. This will let you save a backup copy of your database.

13. Print your Daily Report by going to File >> Print DDR or File >> Print PDF Reports >> Print DDR. You can configure what is included in the DDR by opening the Report Options menu and using the Daily Report and Additional Daily Report Options submenus.

14. You can create a morning report by going to File >> Create Morning Report Package. This morning report is treated like an End Of Well Report and is configured in the EOWR submenu in Report Options. The package contains the following:

a. A copy of the database.

b. An Excel format EOWR up to the current day.

c. An email template containing a summary of the current status of the well.

15. At the end of a run you should fill out the performance report for the BHA. Open the Drill String Editor, select the current BHA and click on the Performance Report icon in the toolbar.

16. In the Performance Report, click on the Get Data From DDR. This will automatically fill in the parameters section using data recorded in the Daily Reports.

17. Click on Get MWD Surface System. This will pull all of the surface system serial numbers from the Tool Inventory, allowing you to select them using dropdown boxes in the MWD section.

18. Make sure a Reason for POOH has been selected. Make any general comments on the run in the Additional Comments and MWD Comments section.

19. If there was a tool failure, record it by clicking the Motor Failed, MWD Failed or RSS Failed check boxes. If a different tool caused the failure, just click the Failed checkbox in the top right. This will activate the Failure section allowing you to record details of the failure. Make sure to click the Trip For Failure or LIH (Lost in Hole) checkboxes if these apply.

20. Save and then close the Performance Report.

21. Save your BHA and then create the BHA for the next run by clicking on the Add New BHA icon. You can also click on Copy BHA, which will create a new BHA and copy over all of the components from the current BHA. Give the new BHA a name and BHA #. Once you have finished filling in the new BHA, you can Save and then close the Drill String Editor.

Office – Monitoring Drilling Operations

The following steps introduce the tools that can be used to monitor the job from the office. These tools require the field engineers to be pushing data from the rig site using the Real Time Data Exchange. Some also require the WITS feed from the rig to be pushed to the server.

1. Log into the remote server database.

2. Open the Tools menu and select the Dashboards submenu. These dashboards can be used to provide information for multiple wells at the same time.

3. The Anti-Collision (AC) Dashboard allows you to monitor the anti-collision status of multiple wells at the same time. Open the File menu and select Open RT AC For Active Wells. A window will appear displaying all wells that are currently set to active in the daily reports. Select the ones you want to monitor using the Select column. You can also change the offset settings of the wells by toggling Update Offset Selection on.

4. Click on the OK button and Well Seeker will open the Real Time AC dialog for the selected wells. The AC Dashboard will also populate with two lines for each selected well. One will show the offset well with the lowest C2C distance to the selected well. The other will show the offset with the lowest SF to the select well. If any anti-collision limits are breached, the lines will be highlighted in red.

5. The Rigs Online Dashboard displays all of the rigs that are currently pushing data to the server using the real time data exchange. The Time Since Update column displays the time in hours and minutes since the last update from the rig. Opening the File menu and selecting Show WITS Connections will cause the list to also display wells that are pushing WITS data to the server.

6. The Logistics Dashboard searches all the well inventories in the database and displays all tools which are listed in these inventories. Note that if the On Location box is not checked, the tool will not show up in this dialog. The list van be filtered using the dropdown boxes and search bar.

7. The Activity Dashboard displays an overview of all ongoing jobs in the server database – that is any job with the daily reporting status set as Active, Standby, Upcoming or TD. The list of wells at the bottom of the window can be filtered using the dropdown boxes. Selecting a well from the list will display information for that specific well.

8. The Incident Dashboard displays all BHA failures that have occurred in the last 12 months. This is logged using the Motor Failed, MWD Failed or RSS Failed checkboxes in the performance report. Selecting a well from the list at the bottom will display the BHA assembly of the well.

9. The Directional Drilling (DD) Dashboard collects data from multiple sources within Well Seeker and displays them in one interface, allowing the Directional Driller or a RTOC to monitor drilling operations from a single screen.

It is accessed via the Slide Sheet. Open one of the surveys for the well you wish to view. Then right click on the survey in the database tree and select Reporting >> Slide Sheet.

In the Slide Sheet window, click on the DD Dashboard icon in the toolbar.

The DD Dashboard will then open. It can be left open while working in other parts of the software. Multiple DD dashboards can be opened at the same time, but this can be taxing on your computer’s CPU and memory.

The DD dashboard contains the following sections. For a detailed breakdown of these sections, refer to the Well Seeker Manual:

• Real time gauges showing various drilling parameters. Requires WITS data from the rig.

• Toolface rose displaying details of the last slide.

• Real time anti-collision.

• Recent surveys with automatic bit projection.

• 3D plot showing principal plan and bit projection.

• Drilling parameters plot and current rig state. Requires WITS data from the rig.

Rig Site – End Of Well Steps

Once drilling operations have finished, follow the below steps to QA & QC your reporting data and close out the well.

1. Finish recording activities and parameters for the last day. Make sure that the last BHA has a 6P: Lay Down BHA activity assigned. Save and then close the Daily Reports window.

5. Open the Data Validation menu again and select Zero RPM for all slides on slide sheet. This sets the RPM parameter on all slides in the slide sheet, as this is supposed to represent surface RPM. Click on the Save icon in the toolbar again, and then minimize the Daily Reports window.

6. In the database tree, double click on one of the surveys for the job to open it. Then right click on the survey in the database tree and select Reporting >> Slide Sheet. For each slide sheet in the well, check through your drilling parameters to make sure that there have been no typos or mistakes.

A common mistake is that the drilling parameters get entered with the wrong units. If you are not sure what units you are supposed to be using, open the Tools menu in the main interface and select Unit Sets. The units in this dialog are the units used in the slide sheet.

When you have finished with each slide sheet, save your changes by clicking on the Save icon in the toolbar. When you have finished with every slide sheet, close the slide sheet window.

7. Go back to the Daily Reports window, open the Data Validation menu and select Update Activity Description from slide sheet all reports. This will take the drilling parameters that you have just checked in your slide sheets, and use them to update the descriptions for your drilling and sliding activities in your Daily Report.

8. Open the Data Validation menu and select Get drilling params from slide sheet all reports. This will take the drilling parameters that you have just checked in your slide sheets, and use them to update the 24hr and run parameters in in your Daily Report.

Click on Save in the toolbar and then minimize the Daily Reports window.

9. Once you have finished QC’ing the Daily Report, you should make sure that all of your BHA performance reports are filled in. Right click on the actual well and select Reporting >> Drill String Editor, then open the Performance Report by clicking on the icon in the toolbar.

10. For each performance report check that:

a. Parameters have been filled in. If not, you can click on the Get Data from DDR button in the toolbar. This will automatically update the drilling parameters in the performance report.

b. A reason for POOH has been selected.

c. If the BHA had a failure, make sure that this has been recorded.

11. After all data QC has been completed, open the Daily Reporting for the well and changed the well status to Verified.

12. If you have a clean master database, you can now transfer the well, using your company’s preferred method. After doing so, change the well status to Transferred.
