13.4.7 – DDR Main User Interface

The main user interface is where the user records all the relevant information relating to the day’s activities. It is split into 5 different sections which are discussed in detail in the below sections.

13.4.7.1 – DDR Report Selection

This section can be used to navigate through existing reports. The dropdown box on the left can be used to select the desired report from a list in chronological order. The calendar to the right is used to assign a date to the report. Only one report can be assigned to each date.

Selecting the Calculate button recalculates BRT hours and slide rotate distances from the daily activity entered.

Selecting the Get DDR from Run Sheet radio button will update the Daily Activity section with data which has already been populated in the Slide Sheet for the selected day.

Prior to selecting Get DDR from Run Sheet button select the BHA and Phase in the Daily Activity grid and set the Default Activity Code via the Report Options Menu. Then select the Get DDR from Run Sheet button. This will ensure all imported entries will have the same BHA and Phase as the start row initially, which saves the user manually selecting these for each row. Data will only be populated from the slide sheet that has the same date and legitimate time stamps as the daily report in question.

Any gaps between the end and start time on adjacent rows in the slide sheet will be added in the daily activity section as a separate row, with the activity and description that the user set for the Default Activity Code. For example, in the below slide sheet, Row 1 has an end time of 17:10, and row 2 has a start time of 17:15. This 5 minute gap will be populated in the daily activity section as start time 17:10, end time 17:15, activity 5A: Circulating (in this example this is the activity set as the default). The activity can be edited if required and the time can be further subdivided by right clicking on the row and selecting insert row, if more than one thing happened over this time period e.g. rig repair etc.

This function allows the user to update the daily report from the Run sheet incrementally. For example, the user selects Get DDR from Run Sheet when the run sheet has data populated up to 08:00 on the same day as the daily report in question. From 00:00 – 08:00 the Daily Activity section will populate with the data from the run sheet. The user may wish to make some small changes to the details if they so wish and save these changes in the Daily Reports dialog. The user then updates the slide sheet with data up to 15:00. The user selects Get DDR from Run Sheet and only the additional data from the end of the existing time stamp in Daily Activity to the end of the time stamp in the slide sheet is added to the Daily Activity section. The data previously input from 00:00-08:00 is not overwritten. This allows the user to update their report from the slide sheet throughout the workday and edit any additional data within the Daily Reports dialog. For more information on Slide Sheets see Section 13.10 – Slide Sheet.

Selecting the Get Params radio button will automatically populate the Drilling Parameters section of the main user interface with the relevant data taken from the slide sheet. Well Seeker will use the last selected BHA in the day to draw drilling parameters from.

The Well Status dropdown allows the user to assign one of the following options to the well: N/A, Active, Standby, TD, Complete. These options are searchable in the search database dialog and allow the user to quickly find the relevant wells in the database. This is also a searchable option in the well analytics.

The DD Coordinator and MWD Coordinator dropdown boxes allow the user to assign coordinators to the well, which can then be used in KPI and activity tracking. The available names are taken from the Personnel Details tool. See Section 6.4.18 – Personnel Names and Details for more information.

The Drive Type and MWD Type dropdown boxes allow the user to assign type of BHA/MWD used for that days drilling activity, which can then be used in KPI and Activity tracking.

13.4.9 – MWD Parameters

The MWD Parameters window can be used to record information for any MWD currently in the hole. This information can then be included in daily reports and the EOWR, so long as the option is turned on in the Report Options menu.

The fields for Plug In/Out Date, Plug In/Out Time, Plug In Hrs and Circ Hrs are entered into the Component Properties of the MWD/LWD component for the BHA that is currently in the hole. See section 13.5.7.4 – Component Properties for more details. The Battery Life Remaining, On Btm Pulse Amplitude and Off BTM Pulse Amplitude need to be entered manually.

13.4.10 – Daily Costs

The Daily Costs tool allows the user to assign items and their costs to the daily reports.

Items must have been previously defined using the Cost Codes tool (See Section 13.2 - Cost Codes). The predefined costs can then be selected from a dropdown menu in the Description column and given a quantity in the Qty column. The well daily cost and the total well cost are automatically calculated at the bottom of the dialog.

The user can manually enter the serial number for any individual component listed in the daily costs; however, checking the SN dropdown option at the bottom left of the dialog, means that when the user selects a cell in the serial number column, a drop-down menu will appear listing all the serial numbers listed in the tool inventory, allowing the user to quickly choose from these options without needing to manually enter the data.

The BHA # column allows the user to assign each cost to a BHA created in the Drill string Editor. Then when the user prints a Grouped Field Invoice, the invoice will be grouped by the cost of each BHA.

Once populated, the user can then print the Daily Cost Report and the Well Cost Report from the menu or toolbar in the main Daily Reporting window.

13.4.11 – Pump Data

The pump data dialog allows the user to enter details of the rig pumps. These details can be included in the daily report if selected from the Report Options menu.

The pump output is automatically calculated from the input details.

13.4.12 – KPI Tracking Graphs

The KPI tracking tool can be used to display several Key Performance Indicators based on data from the daily reports. Each KPI graph can be customised by right clicking and selecting options from the context menu (see Section 6.8 – Context Menu). The graphs can be exported for use in other documents by right clicking and selecting Export Dialog.

The KPI tracking tool provides the following data: Phase summary, ROP per run, Footage per run, Footage per day, Footage per phase, ROP per phase, NPT per phase, Drilling Hrs per phase, Activity summary, Activity per phase, Cost Breakdown, Footage per phase (bar chart), Drilling Hours per Run and NPT Summary.

13.4.13 – Depth v Time graph

The Depth v Time tool will automatically plot a depth v time graph based on the data entered in the daily reports.

The chart can be exported for use in other documents by right clicking and selecting the Export option in the context menu (see Section 6.8 – Context Menu). The chart can also be printed to PDF format by opening the File menu and selecting Print.

The graph can be customised by right clicking and selecting options from the context menu. All labels can be moved by left clicking and dragging. The chart can also be customised using the View menu.

13.4.13.1 – DvT File Menu

Print: Prints the Depth vs Time chart to PDF.

Exit: Closes the Depth vs Time chart.

13.4.13.2 – DvT View Menu

Show phases: Displays the well phases, as defined in the daily activities, as vertical lines on the chart.

Show screen reader: Toggles the screen reader function on and off. The screen reader displays the Depth and Days at whichever point the cursor is on the graph.

Show Plan: If the principal plan has an AFE design associated with it, then the predicted Depth v Time chart for the well can be displayed alongside the actual chart. For more information on creating an AFE design, see Section 15.0 – AFE Plan Designer.

.

Colour by Activity/Phase/BHA: Colours the Depth v Time line according to activity, phase or BHA at that point in the well. The chart legend describes the meaning of each colour. The colours and the layout of the legend can be customised using the Context Menu.

Do not Colour: Turns off any colouration by activity, phase or BHA and colours the line red.

Show Casing: Toggles the casings on and off. For more information on adding casing to a well see Section 7.2 - Casing.

Show Lithology: Toggles the lithology lines on and off. For more information on adding lithologies to a well, see Section 7.5 - Lithologies.

White Background: When selected the background of the chart will be white.

13.4.14 – Well Statistics

The Well Statistics dialog, displays a variety of statistical data, taken from the DDR’s, Slide Sheet’s and BHA’s. It serves as a quick way for the user to view data from different sources side-by-side. The well statistics can be printed as an Excel or PDF format report from the File menu.

13.4.15 – Tortuosity KPI

The Tortuosity KPI window allows the user to compare wells based on their dogleg. The window displays four charts plotted against measured depth. The depth range displayed on the charts can be altered using the Depth From and Depth To boxes at the top of the window. The four charts displayed show the inclination, dogleg, cumulative dogleg and ROP. They can be removed by unchecking the ‘Chart’ checkboxes in the bottom left. The ‘Phases’ checkboxes in the bottom left will hide results for the selected phase from the charts.

The reference well – the well being viewed when the Tortuosity KPI window was opened – is always displayed on the charts. By default, the principal plan will also be displayed on the charts. It can be toggled off by clicking on the Show/hide principal plan button. The user can add other actual wells to the charts by selecting them in the well selector on the left-hand side of the window. The list can be filtered by typing in the search box at the top of the window.

The user can export the charts as an image and a table for each well by clicking on the Export to Excel button.

This option is only available to select from the Actual Well level. This is where the user can input the inventory for the well.

Any component entered in the inventory will be available for the user to select within the Drill String Editor and Shipping Ticket dialogs.

For ease of identification the inventory will highlight rows based on how the user has set their status in the On Location, Failed, Ready for Backload, In Hole and Dirty Columns:

• On location: Designates whether the tool is at the rig site or not. When check on location the tool is not highlighted. If the user unchecks the On Location column, to mark a tool that is not at the rig site but still in the inventory, the tool will be highlighted orange.

• Failed: If the tool has failed, the user can check the Failed column and the tool will be highlighted in red. This can then be used as a reference to make sure that the failed tool is not used in another drill string.

• Ready For Backload: Tools that are ready to be delivered off site are highlighted in blue.

• In Hole: This status is handled automatically, and changes made by the user will not be saved. Well Seeker will check the latest daily activity entered in the Daily Report for the well. If there is a BHA selected for that activity, Well Seeker will highlight all tools in that BHA in green in the inventory.

• Dirty: This status does not have a highlight colour, but is also handled automatically, and changes made by the user will not be saved. The Daily Report will record the circulating hours for each BHA, and then apply those hours to tools in the Inventory in the D&C Hrs Well column. If the tool already had circulating hours accumulated when it arrived on the rig site, the user can enter them in the Prev D&C Hrs column. Total D&C Hrs column is simply the sum of the other two columns. Any tools with more than zero hours in the Total D&C Hrs column will be marked as dirty.

At the bottom of the tool inventory window there are some additional functions:

Check Remote Db: Connects to the remote database to see if tools have been shipped to the job and are awaiting receipt into the system. Well Seeker will attempt to connect to the server defined in the ICDS Server section of the Real Time Data Exchange. See Section 6.4.15 – Real Time Data Exchange for more information.

Filter by off location: Hides all tools except for ones marked as Off Location.

Filter by on location: Hides all tools except for ones marked as On Location.

Search: Filters the inventory for tools that contain the keyword entered in the Search box, in any of their columns.

13.6.1 – Tool Inventory Toolbar

The toolbar contains the main functions used when operating the Tool Inventory. Most of these functions can also be accessed from the menus at the top of the Tool Inventory window. However, there are some which can only be accessed from the toolbar. These will be detailed below:

Transfer Tools: Opens the transfer tools dialog, allowing the user to transfer tools from the current well to a different well in the database. It should be noted that only tools which are marked as on location in the main tool inventory dialog will be available to select. If there is a date entered in the date off location cell, the tool will not be available to select, even if the on location check box is selected. Once a tool has been transferred, the date off location cell will automatically populate and the on location cell will be unchecked.

Add Row: Adds a new blank row at the bottom of the table

Receive Tools: Adds the tools which have been marked as shipped on the remote database to the inventory. The Check Remote Db option must be checked for this function to work. If any tools are detected, the Select Tools dialog will open:

The user should enter their name into the Received By box, select the tools they want to receive by checking the Receive Tool checkbox, and then click on the Receive Selected button. This will add the selected tools to the local inventory.

Mark all Ready for Backload: Toggles the Ready for Backload checkbox on or off for all items in the inventory.

Mark all on location: Toggles the On Location checkbox on or off for all items in the inventory.

13.6.2 – Tool Inventory File Menu

Highlight Rows: Toggling this option off will disable all highlighting of rows in the Tool Inventory and in reports.

Show All Components: Shows all items in the Inventory.

Show MWD Only: Filters the inventory to show only item types that correspond to MWD operations. E.g., MWD/LWD, Shock Absorber, Pulser, etc.

Show DD Only: Filters the inventory to show only item types that correspond to DD operations. E.g., Motor, Drill Collar, Stabilizer etc.

Show MWD Status Columns: Displays the Field Status and Shop Status columns in the Tool Inventory.

13.6.4 - Tool Inventory Catalogue Menu

Select from Catalogue: The Component Catalogue contains a list of drill string components with pre-defined properties that can be add to the inventory. The desired component can be searched for using the dropdown menus at the top. Clicking the Insert button will add the selected component to the inventory. Note that this will overwrite the row that was selected at the time of opening the Catalogue.

Custom components can be added, removed, and edited using the Add, Delete and Edit buttons. Components which come with the standard install can also be edited and removed if desired. The Reset button will revert the catalogue back to its originally installed state. Finally, the component catalogue can be imported and exported to and from other users.

This option is available to select from all levels within the database structure. Here the user can enter the addresses of any company or location that are being shipped to/from over the course of a project. These addresses can then be used in the Daily Reporting package to generate a shipping ticket or a bid sheet. The addresses entered in the Shipping Address tool are applied to every operator in the database, so these addresses are available to select for any well within the database.

The Well Seeker PRO daily reporting package allows the user to semi-automate the creation of daily drilling reports. Reporting package features are accessed through the reporting toolbar in the database tree, or through the Reporting Toolbar.

Use the navigation tree on the left to view the page for each feature in the Reporting package.

The daily reporting package can produce the following reports:

13.0.1 Reporting Data Input Sequence

It is suggested that data is input in the following order to increase input efficiency and reduce the requirement to duplicate data entry. However, this is just a guide and the user can deviate from this sequence should they wish.

1. Input tool listing into Tool Inventory. This will give the user the option to select these components when creating a BHA, reducing duplicate data entry.

2. Input/import the BHA for the upcoming run in the Drill String Editor. Once created a BHA can be associated with a time and date window within daily reporting. This allows for sharing of data between Drill String Editor and Daily Reporting, including allocating tool performance and utilisation data.

3. Confirm/edit Activity Codes, Cost Codes and Phase Codes. These codes can be utilised in the Daily Reporting dialog and when referenced, are used by Well Seeker to generate the relevant KPI data. If the user is interested in reporting this data, it is important that these codes are set correctly at the start of the job.

4. Input/confirm Shipping Addresses. Shipping addresses can be selected in the shipping ticket dialog.

5. Fill in the Daily Reporting and Shipping Ticket sections as required.

6. The user can populate the daily activity section of the daily report directly from the slide sheet. If it is the user’s intention to populate the daily report in this way, then input the drilling data into the Slide Sheet over the relevant 00:00-24:00 time interval. At any time, the user can select Get DDR from Run Sheet within the Daily Reporting dialog, and the daily activity section will be populated automatically with the relevant data from the run sheet.

13.0.2 Reporting Toolbar

The Daily Reporting toolbar is an additional toolbar that gives access to the main Daily Reporting Functions. It can be enabled/disabled using the View > Toolbars and Docking Windows menu item.

The slide sheet dialog will only be available to the user when they are in a survey. When in a Plan or Actual Wellbore, the slide sheet option will be greyed out and the user will be unable to open this feature.

The slide sheet is designed to minimize repeated entry of data. Once the slide sheet has been filled in with drilling activity and parameters, the user can use the Get DDR from Run Sheet button in the Daily Reporting interface to automatically fill in their daily activities and drilling parameters sections. See section 13.4– Daily Reporting for more information.

The slide sheet can be set up to automatically fill itself in with sliding, rotation, and drilling parameters data from an incoming WITS or WITSML feed. Both raw and calculated surveys can also be received via WITS and WITSML. This data can be sent to the Directional Drillers Dashboard (see section 13.11 – Directional Drilling Dashboard), allowing the user to monitor drilling operations from one screen. This information can also be uploaded to a server, allowing for remote operation of directional drilling and surveying services.

Each BHA created in the Drill String Editor (see section 13.5 – Drill String Editor) will have a slide sheet associated with it. When in the slide sheet window, the BHA can be selected from the drop-down box at the top of the window. If no BHAs have been created for the actual well, there will be no slide sheets available to edit and the drop-down box will be empty.

The user should fill in the slide sheet by entering data into the Date, Start Time, End Time, Start, End, State and TF (Toolface) Type rows. The Target Toolface (TTF), Effective Toolface (ETF) Motor Yield (MY) and drilling parameters columns are optional. When selecting the state of each row, they will be highlighted as follows:

• The Green Lines indicate slides using Magnetic Tool Faces

• The Blue Lines indicate slides using Gravity Tool Faces

• The White Lines indicate Rotation

13.10.1 – Slide Sheet Toolbar

13.10.5 – Slide Sheet Settings Menu

Date Format: Allows the user to set how dates are displayed in the slide sheet. The available choices are DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY.

WITS Survey Options: Contains options that configure how the software handles surveys when receiving survey data over a WITS or WITSML connection.

• Survey Type: User should select the type of survey that they want to receive from the WITS feed. Note that the rig may be transmitting only one type of survey, in which case the user must select the correct one for WITS surveys to work.

  • Inc and Azi (Calculated) – If selected, the user will not be able to run the Short Collar Correction feature of the software as this requires the raw values.

  • GxGyGzBxByBz (Raw) – If the user chooses to receive the WITS surveys as raw accelerometer (GxGyGz) and magnetometer (BxByBz) values then they will have the ability to run Short Collar Correction on the surveys.

• Magnetic Units: If the user is receiving surveys in Raw format, they must specify the units of the magnetometer readings (Bx, By and Bz) that are being transmitted. This is not required if surveys are being received in Calculated format. The available units are:

  • Geolink / Tensor (mV)

  • SSP / SUCOP (µT)

  • nT

  • nT (no XY inversion)

  • µT (XY Inversion)

  • Evo / Applied Physics

• Accelerometer Units: If the user is receiving surveys in Raw format, they must specify the units of the accelerometer readings (Gx, Gy and Gz) that are being transmitted. This is not required if surveys are being received in Calculated format. The available units are:

  • G

  • mG

  • Inverted Z axis

• Survey QC Limits: Opens the raw survey QC limit dialog. If required, the industry standard default values can be edited here by the user. This only applies to raw surveys.

The tolerances entered here are the amount the calculated field strength (HL), dip and gravity field strength (G) can vary from their reference values before being marked as out of tolerance. The reference values are defined at actual well level (Section 8.6 – Level 6: Actual Well Level).

• Auto Send Survey Email: When a WITS survey is received and accepted an email update will automatically be sent to the current distribution list defined in the Survey Email Update Template in the Tools menu. No dialog or outlook window will appear.

• Auto Accept Surveys: When a WITS survey is detected at a depth deeper than the last entered survey, it will automatically be accepted and added to the survey listing without prompting the user. Note: this option should be used with caution.

• Use Bit Depth as Survey Depth: If a new WITS survey is detected this option forces the survey depth to be set as the current bit depth. This option is useful for unmanned operations.

• Include Bit Projection in Survey Email: When toggled on, this option will add a projection to bit in the Survey Email Update Template available from the Tools menu.

• Attach Survey Listing to Email: When this option is toggled on, a survey listing in Excel format will be attached to the survey update email. This email can be configured with the Survey Update Email Template tool in the Tools menu.

• Check for WITS Surveys: If this option is toggled off, Well Seeker will ignore any surveys transmitted from the rig via WITS.

Slide Record Input – CL: If this option is toggled on, the Course Length (CL) column is used to define the length of each slide and rotate. The End [Depth] column will be greyed out and is automatically calculated from the start depth and the course length.

Copy Drilling Params to New Line: If this option is toggled on, then whenever a new line is created, its drilling parameters columns will be automatically filled in by copying the parameters from the line above. These lines can be edited afterwards if required.

Auto Calculate ROP: If this option is toggled on the ROP column will be automatically calculated using the Start Time, End Time, Start and End columns. The values in the ROP column cannot be edited. ROP is calculated as follows:

Auto Populate Parameters: If this option is toggled on and Auto Populate Slide Sheet is activated, then the slide sheet will automatically fill in the drilling parameters columns with drilling parameter data received over WITS.

Auto Populate Slide Sheet: When WITS data is being received, if this option is selected, then the slide sheet will be automatically populated based on the operation (sliding or rotating). While this option is running, the below message will appear next to the BHA selection box:

While this option is enabled, the user will NOT be able to manually add or adjust anything on the slide sheet. If it is necessary to adjust the slide sheet for any reason, the user can turn off the auto populate option, by toggling the option off or clicking on the red circle in the toolbar. After making the appropriate adjustment the auto population can be turned on again.

NOTE: In order for the slide sheet to auto populate properly, the thresholds in the Rig States dialog must be correctly configured.

Record Connections Data: When receiving WITS data, if this option is toggled on, the Rig States dialog will record In Slips, Off Bottom and Survey times in the Timers section. This is required for the Connection Analysis tool in the Tools menu.

Show surveys on slide report: Adds a survey listing to the slide report when printed from the File menu.

Show phase on slide report: Adds the drilling phase to the Comments column in the slide report when printed from the File menu. The phase is set in the Daily Report activities section. See section 13.4.7.6 – DDR Daily Activity for more information.

Show short survey on slide report: Adds compacted survey listing, which only contains depth, inclination, azimuth and DLS, to the slide report when printed from the File menu. This option is overridden by Show surveys on slide report.

Show reduced drilling params on slide report: Shows only WOB, RPM, flow, torque and ROP in the slide report when printed from the File menu.

13.10.6 – Slide Sheet Tools Menu

Motor Yields: Opens the Motor Yield analysis dialog. This displays every survey taken and the corresponding slide length between the surveys. These can be broken down into Formation / Section Type / BHA. Each section has a detailed analysis of slide and rotation percentages, the High, Low, and average motor yield and the average rotary DLS and TF. The dialog can be printed to an Excel format report via the File menu.

Survey Update Email Template: Opens the Survey Update tool, which allows the user to quickly send an email updating clients or other personnel on the details of the latest survey.

The user can add recipients to the update email by entering their email address (e.g., email1@email.com) to the box at the top of the window and then clicking on the add button. Multiple addresses can be added by delimiting them with a comma (e.g., email1@email.com,email2@email.com) before clicking the add button. Addresses can be removed from the email by selecting them in the list and clicking on the delete button. Well Seeker will save all emails entered into the recipient list after the window is closed.

The email body contains the most recent survey along with the distance from plan, average motor yield and dogleg to land. The user can include a curve projection by clicking on the Include checkbox and then entering the TVD, Inc and Azi of their landing. In the Settings > WITS Survey Options menu there is also an option to include a projection to bit.

If the default email client on the user’s computer is Microsoft Outlook, then they can click on the send mail button to generate an email with the recipients, subject and email body set up as in the template. In the Settings > WITS Survey Options menu there is an option to include a survey listing as an attachment to the email. There I also an option to automatically send the email as soon as a survey is accepted.

RigStates: Opens the Rig States Settings dialog. The Rig States Settings is where the user configures how Well Seeker interprets incoming WITS data to decide what operation the rig is currently performing. It also allows the user to see what drilling parameter data is being sent through from WITS. Rig States will operate when:

• The WITS Data Reader is running (and receiving real time data via WITS or WITSML), and

• The Auto Populate Slide Sheet Option is selected from the Settings Menu

The Current Rig State section shows what activity Well Seeker thinks the rig is currently performing, based on the latest parameters received from WITS. These parameters can be seen in the Current WITS Data and Drilling Params sections. Well Seeker determines the current rig state by comparing the parameters to the thresholds as set by the user in the Thresholds section. The user will need to set these thresholds to the correct values for the rig they are on to make sure that Well Seeker correctly interprets the rig state.

Rig states logic is defined below.

1. Is the Bit on Bottom?

   1. Hole depth – Bit Depth < On bottom threshold

2. If on bottom, are you drilling?

   1. Pump Pressure > Threshold

   2. WOB > Threshold

   3. Hookload > Threshold

   4. On bottom recorded when all 3 of the above are recorded = TRUE

3. If Drilling = TRUE, the logic is as follows:

   1. If 10% of the values in the RPM buffer are < Rotating threshold then Sliding

   2. If 10% of the values in the RPM buffer are > Rotating threshold then Rotating

The RPM Buffer section is used along with the RPM threshold value to determine if the string is rotating. The RPM buffer size sets how many of the most recent RPM values to keep in the buffer, and the RPM Buffer Threshold sets how many values in the buffer need to be above the RPM threshold before Well Seeker considers the string to be rotating.

The Timers section records the total amount of time that Well Seeker registers the pumps being on, the string being in slips, the string being off bottom, and the time taken surveying. For these last three timers, the option Record Connections Data in the Settings Menu needs to be turned on before they are recorded.

The Sliding TF section will display the latest tool face data if this is being transmitted over WITS.

The Simulator button opens the Rig States simulator. This can be used to generate a fake WITS feed for debugging and demonstration purposes. It should never be used during real drilling operations.

Real Time Gauges: Opens the real time gauges dashboard, where the user can view some of the data being received from the WITS feed. Note that these gauges will only operate when WITS data is being received.

The gauges can be customized by double left clicking on them individually. This opens the gauge settings dialog, and allows the user to select the following:

• Minimum: Minimum range the gauge displays

• Maximum: Maximum range the gauge displays

• Label: The label which appears at the bottom of the gauge

• Units: The units which the values on the gauge are referenced to

• Mnemonic: The WITS input which is being displayed on the gauge

Note that when the Real Time Gauge dialog is closed, all the settings reset back to default and the user will need to make the necessary changes again.

Directional Drillers Dashboard: Opens the Directional Drillers Dashboard window. See section 13.11 – Directional Drilling Dashboard for more information.

Slide Analysis: Slide Analysis requires the Save Svy and TF Data function to be enabled in the WITS data reader. Before the Slide Analysis dialog can be opened, the user must select a slide by left clicking on one of the cells in the slide row.

The red line through the chart represents the Effective Toolface (ETF) for that slide, while the points represent the individual slide toolfaces recorded by WITS for the duration of that slide. The data can be exported to Excel by opening the File menu and selecting Export Data. The chart can be exported as an image by right clicking and selecting Export Dialog from the context menu. For more information on the context menu see section 6.8 – Context Menu.

Connection Analysis: The Connection Analysis chart requires the Record Connections Data option in the Settings menu to be toggled on whilst recording WITS data.

The Connections Analysis chart will display every connection recorded by WITS as a bar chart. Each connection will be coloured to show how much of the connection was spent reaming, taking a survey and performing the connection itself. The blue line represents the average time to make a connection. This chart can be used as a way of gauging which activities are taking the most time during connections, and therefore where timesaving improvements can be made.

The data can be exported to Excel by opening the File menu and selecting Export Data. The chart can be exported as an image by right clicking and selecting Export Dialog from the context menu. For more information on the context menu see section 6.8 – Context Menu.

Seriel/TCP WITS Comms: Opens the WITS reader. See section 13.10.7 – Serial/TCP WITS Data Reader for more information.

WITSML Comms: Opens the WITSML reader. See section 13.10.8 – WITSML Data Reader for more information.

Wireless WITS Comms: Opens the Wireless WITS reader. See section 13.10.9 – Wireless WITS for more information.

Cross Plot / Heat Map: Displays the Cross Plot window. The cross plot can be used to show how often two drilling parameters are recorded in the slide sheet. Green areas are values that record fewer times or not at all, while red areas are values used more often.

The available parameters are WOB, RPM and flow rate. The axis that these parameters are displayed on can be configured using the X Axis and Y Axis menus. The cross plot can be exported as an image by right clicking on it and selecting Export Dialog from the context menu. For more information on the context menu see section 6.8 – Context Menu.

Select Downlink: This is a legacy feature that has been replaced with the Send Downlink option described below.

Send Downlink: Opens the Downlink Control dialog window. See section 13.10.10 – Downlink Control.

View Downlink History: Opens the Downlink History dialog which displays a record of all downlinks sent using the Downlink Control dialog.

Round Depths: Rounds all start and end depths in the currently opened slide sheet to the nearest whole number.

Enable error logging: Toggling this option will create a file called rigStateLog.txt in the Debug folder in the Setup File directory. The Setup File directory can be opened via the Help menu in the main Well Seeker interface and selecting the option Open Setup File Folder. This file records a log of incoming drilling parameter data and will record any errors in the data feed.

13.10.7 – Serial/TCP WITS Data Reader

Opens the WITS Reader Dialog. This option is used to configure Well Seeker to receive WITS data via a serial or ethernet cable. This allows the user to automate the slide sheet via the Rig States and Auto-Populate functions in the slide sheet. For this process to work correctly, it is important that the WITS mapping in Well Seeker matches the WITS mapping of the rig. See section 6.4.21 – WITS Mapping for more information on editing Well Seeker’s WITS mapping.

There are three types of connections available:

1. Serial WITS: If the user is receiving WITS via a serial cable, they should leave the UDP WITS and TCP WITS options in the Ethernet WITS Settings section unchecked. In the Serial WITS Settings section, they should select the comm port from the Comm Port drop-down box. This will not be populated until the serial cable is plugged into the computer via a serial-USB converter. The user also needs to enter the baud rate into the Baud Rate box. This should be provided by the people transmitting the WITS data.

2. UDP WITS: If the user is receiving UDP WITS via an ethernet cable, they should check the UDP WITS checkbox in the Ethernet WITS Settings. They should then enter the port number into the Port box. The port number should be provided by the people transmitting the WITS data.

3. TCP WITS: If the user is receiving UDP WITS via an ethernet cable, they should check the TCP WITS checkbox in the Ethernet WITS Settings. They should then enter the port number into the Port box and the IP Address into the IP Address box. The port number and IP address should be provided by the people transmitting the WITS data.

Once the user has configured their connection, they can start receiving data by clicking on the Start Reading button. Whilst the WITS feed is running, the user can see incoming data and any error messages in the WITS Data Stream section. The user can pause the data stream by checking the Pause Messages checkbox – the WITS feed will continue in the background. This allows the user to scroll through and read any messages. Once unchecked, all messages which were received during the paused interval will appear. The Stop Reading button will stop the WITS feed. Whilst the WITS feed is running, the status can be seen in the WITS Status section.

The Save Svy and TF Data checkbox will save the Survey and Toolface data to the database. You need this selected if you want to calculate slide grade and view the slide analysis data. Note that the slide sheet will populate without this option being checked; however, this must be selected if the user wants the data saved. The Well and Survey boxes show the well and slide sheet that this information is being saved to.

The Clear WITS Data button clears ALL WITS data stored in the database. The user may want to do this if they have WITS data from a previous well or the database size is getting too big. It should be noted that if the database reaches 1.5Gb in size, the WITS data will be deleted automatically.

The user can forward WITS data to a remote server, so that RTOC operators can receive slide information from the rig and monitor the well using the Directional Drilling Dashboard. To do this, the user needs to check the Send Data to Server checkbox on the Server Data Sync section. When this is activated, the user will start seeing status messages in the message box below. The IP address and port of the remote server will be displayed in the IP and Port boxes. These are set in the ICDS Server section in the Real Time Data Exchange. The well that the data is assigned to is set in the Select Well section in the Real Time Data Exchange. For more information, see section 6.4.15 – Real Time Data Exchange.

The Send Data Handshake option should only be checked if the user is running a Noralis MWD system and is receiving data from a Noralis WITS system.

13.10.8 – WITSML Data Reader

WITSML is when rig data is uploaded to a server and then downloaded by users wishing to receive WITS data. To receive data this way, Well Seeker users should use the WITSML Data Reader instead of the Serial/TCP WITS Data Reader.

To use the WITSML Reader, the user needs valid login credential for the WITSML server. They should enter these into the Server URL, Username and Password boxes in the WITSML Server section. The user also needs to know the version of the server – either 1.3.1 or 1.4.1 – and select it from the dropdown box.

The Show/Hide checkbox will display or hide the password, while the Save password checkbox will remember the password so that it does not need to be entered every time the WITSML Reader is opened.

The user can check their credentials by cling the Test Connection button. A message will display in the Messages section indicating if the connection was successful or not.

Once the user is happy with their connection, the user can click on the Load Wells button to get a list of wells and logs stored on the data. The user can now select a log and a trajectory that they want to receive by clicking on them in the list. Note: Well Seeker uses time-based logs for its slide data, and trajectory logs for surveys. The user can also click on the Pull to file button to download all stored data from a selected well.

Once the user has selected their desired feeds, they need to map the WITSML mnemonics to the Well Seeker mnemonics in the Curve Mapping section. There is no industry standard set of WITSML mnemonics, so the user must set them manually. The Well Seeker internal mnemonics are listed on the right, with a column for the WITSML mnemonics on the left. Well Seeker will attempt to automatically match mnemonics that have the same name. The user should set the WITSML mnemonic by clicking on a row and selecting from the dropdown box.

Once the user has finished their mapping, they can start receiving data by clicking on the Start Reading button. The Selected Data section will update to display the selected well, wellbore, log, and trajectory. Whilst the WITS feed is running, the user will see values in the new Value column in the Curve Mapping section. They will also receive status and error messages in the Messages section.

The user can pause the data stream by checking the Pause Messages checkbox – the WITS feed will continue in the background. This allows the user to scroll through and read any messages. Once unchecked, all messages which were received during the paused interval will appear. The Stop Reading button will stop the WITS feed.

As with the Serial/TCP WITS Reader, the user can forward WITSML data to a remote server by checking the Send Data to Server checkbox. The server that the data is being sent to is set in the ICDS Server section in the Real Time Data Exchange. The well that the data is assigned to is set in the Select Well section in the Real Time Data Exchange. For more information, see section 6.4.15 – Real Time Data Exchange.

13.10.9 – Wireless WITS

The Wireless WITS dialog allows to receive WITS data from a wireless WITS system, if one is available.

Note: All other WITS dialogs must be closed when the Wireless WITS is running.

The user should select a data source type from the Source drop-down box, and then enter the URL of the data source in the Server URL box. The user will be provided with credentials for the server which they should enter into the Username and Password boxes. They can check if their credentials are correct by clicking on the Test Connection button. The message box below will display a response from the server.

When the user clicks on Start Reading, Well Seeker will begin receiving data. Acknowledgement of incoming data packets will be displayed in the message box, and the Rig States dialog will begin populating with drilling parameters. The user can stop receiving data by clicking on the Stop Reading button. The Pause Messages button will prevent the dialog from receiving any new messages, but the data feed will continue in the background. Clear Messages will delete all messages in the message box and Write to File will create a text file containing all messages in the message box.

The user can forward WITS data to a remote server by checking the Send Data to Server checkbox. The server that the data is being sent to is set in the ICDS Server section in the Real Time Data Exchange. The well that the data is assigned to is set in the Select Well section in the Real Time Data Exchange. For more information, see section 6.4.15 – Real Time Data Exchange.

13.10.10 – Downlink Control

The Downlink Control dialog allows Well Seeker Pro to remotely send and monitor Rotary Steerable System (RSS) downlinks on a specified rig, utilizing the rig’s control system. Currently Well Seeker Pro can communicate with NOV’s DrillLink software and downlink by either the mud pumps, or top drive on rigs utilizing the Amphion and Cyberbase rig control systems.

The Downlink Control can connect to the RSS locally, by being physically connected to the rig network at the rig site. It can also connect remotely, sending commands via the internet. This requires the Innova Remote Client software and access to the Innova Cloud Portal API.

13.10.10.1 – Drill Link Section

Connection: User should select their connection type from the drop-down box. Local connection should be used when at the rig site and the PC is physically connected to the rig network. Remote connection should be used when the user is connected to the rig network over the internet using the Innova Cloud Portal API and the Innova Remote Client installed on a PC at the rig site.

If local connection is selected the Drill Link section will look like the below screenshot:

IP Address: The IP address of the DrillLink device, or the hardware forwarding commands to DrillLink. This will be provided by the rig.

Port: The port of the DrillLink device, or the hardware forwarding commands to DrillLink. This will always be 8080.

Connect/Disconnect: After entering the IP address and port, the user can connect to the DrillLink device by clicking the Connect button. If successful, the connection status should turn green and change to ‘Connected’. The user can disconnect from the DrillLink device by clicking the Disconnect button.

Connection: Shows the status of the DrillLink connection. If successful, it will be green and display the message ‘Connected’.

Switch: Shows the status of the downlink control switch. This switch is operated by the driller at the rig site and gives them ultimate control over whether remote access to the DrillLink system is granted. The switch status must show ‘Enabled’ before any downlinks can be sent.

If remote connection is selected the Drill Link section will look like the below screenshot

Username/Password: User should enter the username and password for the Innova Cloud Portal API. These will be provided to the user’s company by Innova.

Get rigs: After entering the username and password, the user should click on the Get Rigs to populate the rig listing, displayed below:

• Rig: Displays the names of the rigs connected to the Innova Cloud Portal API.

• Online: Displays the status of each rig – red for offline, and green for online.

• Select: The Downlink Control can only send commands to one rig at a time, so the user needs to select the rig that they want by clicking the checkbox next to their desired rig.

Connect/Disconnect: Once a username and password have been entered, and a rig has been selected in the rig listing, the user can connect to the DrillLink device by clicking the Connect button. If successful, the connection status should turn green and change to ‘Connected’. The user can disconnect from the DrillLink device by clicking the Disconnect button.

Connection: Shows the status of the DrillLink connection. If successful, it will be green and display the message ‘Connected’.

Switch: Shows the status of the downlink control switch. This switch is operated by the driller at the rig site and gives them ultimate control over whether remote access to the DrillLink system is granted. The switch status must show ‘Enabled’ before any downlinks can be sent.

Online: Shows the status of the selected rig in the rig listing. This must read ‘Yes’ before a downlink can be sent.

Channels: Before sending a downlink command, the user needs to map the top drive and each of the mud pumps to the correct channels. These must match up with the channel mapping at the rig site, so if unsure the user should verify with the rig.

• Name: The name of the item being mapped to the channel. The user has the choice of Mud Pump (MP) #1 - #4, and the Top Drive.

• Active: The user should ensure that all channels that will be used in downlink are selected as active. This is done by clicking in the checkboxes in the Active column.

• RPM CH: Any channel mapped to the top drive must have the corresponding checkbox in the RPM CH column checked on.

13.10.10.2 – Downlink Setup Section

Tool Type: User should select the model of the Rotary Steerable System (RSS) tool that they are sending the downlink to.

Software Version: User should select the software version installed on the RSS that they are sending the downlink to. The Tool Type needs to be selected before this drop-down is populated.

Tool Mode: User should select the tool mode set for the RSS that they are sending the downlink to. The Tool Type and Software Version need to be selected before this drop-down is populated.

Rotary DL: Certain tool type, software version and tool mode combinations will allow the user to toggle Rotary Downlink (DL) on. This means that the downlink will be sent using the top drive instead of the mud pumps.

Downlink: The drop-down box contains all available downlink commands for the RSS tool. The user should select the action that they wish the RSS to perform. The Downlink Parameters section will populate depending on the command selected.

Pump Strokes/Top Drive RPM Reduction: This drop-down box allows the user to set the percentage difference between the high pump rate and low pump rate when transmitting the downlink. This also applies to the high rpm and low rpm if Rotary DL is turned on.

Preview: Once the user has selected their downlink from the Downlink drop-down box, they can preview it by clicking on the Preview Button. This will display the selected downlink in the Downlink Sequence section.

Send: Once the Drill Link and Downlink Setup sections have been filled in, the user can click the Send button to send the selected downlink to the RSS tool.

Abort: Aborts transmission of the downlink sequence.

Elapsed Time: Records the time elapsed since the user started the downlink sequence by clicking on the Send button.

Average Flow: If Well Seeker is recording WITS or WITSML data from the rig, the current flow rate will be displayed here.

Average RPM: If Well Seeker is recording WITS or WITSML data from the rig, the current RPM will be displayed here.

13.10.10.3 – Downlink Sequence Section

The Downlink Sequence section consists of two parts – the Downlink Sequence Chart and the Downlink Sequence Table.

The Downlink Sequence Chart displays the elapsed time along the X-Axis and the pump flow rate along the Y-Axis. If Rotary DL is selected in the Downlink Setup section, then the Y-Axis will display the top drive RPM. The red line displays the selected downlink sequence. When the Send button is clicked, a green line will move across the chart, showing the progress of the downlink transmission. The elapsed time in seconds and minutes:seconds will also be displayed.

If Well Seeker is recording WITS or WITSML data from the rig, the rig flow rate will be recorded on the chart as a blue line. If Rotary DL is selected, this will show the top drive RPM.

The Downlink Sequence Table breaks down the selected downlink sequence into its constituent states, either Pumps Up/Pumps Down or RPM Up/RPM Down. The Time columns show the cumulative elapsed time of the sequence in minutes:seconds and seconds. When the Send button is clicked, the rows in the Table will be highlighted green as each part of the sequence is completed.

This option can be accessed via the database navigator menu or directly from the Daily Reporting dialog. Note that when accessing via the database navigator menu, the Cost Codes option will only be available to select from Well Level.

This tool is used to define cost items, that can then be used in the Daily Costs tool in the Daily Reporting package and in the AFE Designer.

• Description: A description of the Item or Service

• Cost Code: Appropriate cost code. This will be something made up by the user.

• Value: The unit cost of the item or service

• Cost Schedule: User can choose the following options from a drop-down menu: Fixed, Daily, Hourly, Variable or Footage

• Group: Appropriate group code. This allows the user to see which costs are associated with the same group.

• Type: User can choose the following options from a drop-down menu: Tangible, Intangible or Consumable

• Vendor: Enter the vendor’s name. This allows the user to group costs by vendor.

The cost code profile can be exported as a .mdb file using the Export button, and the Import button can be used to import cost code profiles.

If any cost codes have been sent to the well using the Bid Sheet tool, the name of the bid will appear in the Linked Bid box.

The Search box can be used to filter the results table. The Update from remote button allows the user to pull in cost codes from a bid sheet on a remote server.

To access bid sheets the operator must exist on both the local and the remote server. The user must also have recently connected to the remote server via the Real Time Data Exchange or Remote Data Fetch.

The Set to Default button will set the cost codes to match the values entered in the Activity / Cost Code Defaults (See section 6.4.14 –Code Defaults).

The Import from Oasis button allows the user to import cost codes from an external Oasis ERP database. The Oasis endpoint credentials need to be set up in section 6.1.5.5 – Oasis Credentials.

Once complete, the data entered in this section will be available to select in the Daily Costs section of the Daily Reports and also in the AFE Designer.

The window can also be locked using the checkbox in the bottom left. When locked it is not possible to change any of the data in the window. If a password has been set in the associated Operator Properties, it will need to be entered before the window can be unlocked.

This option is only available to select from the Actual Well Level. The user can enter multiple pipe tallies for each well by using the add button. The different tallies are accessed via the dropdown menu at the top left of the dialog.

Description: Add a unique description for each tally

Add: Add a new Tally

Delete: Delete an existing Tally

Print: Print currently selected tally to Excel

BHA Length: Total length of the appropriate BHA. The length will be added to the total length of drill pipe to calculate the bit Depth.

Stickup: The length of pipe below the joint left sticking out above the rotary table when making connections. It is subtracted from the bit depth (along with the Survey Offset) to calculate the Survey Depth.

Survey Offset: Distance from bit to MWD sensor. It is subtracted from the bit Depth (along with the Stick Up) to calculate the Survey Depth.

Gamma Offset: Distance from bit to gamma sensor. This value is just for reference and does not affect the survey depth.

Joints Per Stand: How many joints are in a stand. This will be rig specific and will usually range from 1 to 3.

Survey at Mid Stand – This can be checked if surveys are being taken in the middle of the stand instead of at the bottom. The Survey Depth Column will change to reflect this.

Length: User should enter individual joint lengths here

Stand: This column is populated automatically based on the value entered in the joints per stand cell

Depth: This column is populated automatically and is the cumulative depth of the joints up to that point and the BHA Length.

Svy Depth: This column is populated automatically and shows the survey depth at the bottom of each single. If Survey at Mid Stand is checked, the survey depth for middle single will change to the middle of the single instead of the bottom.

Inc: User can add the survey inclination in the relevant cell

Azi: User can add the survey azimuth in the relevant cell

Comments: User can add an appropriate comment in the relevant cell if required.

This option is only available to select from the Actual Well level. Using the information already input in the Inventory and the Shipping Addresses dialogs, the user can quickly and easily create a Shipping Ticket Report in excel format by selecting the Print radio button.

File Menu

• Save: Saves the currently selected shipping ticket

• Add New Ticket: Creates a new shipping ticket

• Delete Ticket: Deletes the selected shipping ticket

• Ship Tools: Once the user has selected the relevant tools to ship, from the select tools section, selecting the ship tools radio button will have the following effect: In the tool inventory, the selected tools will have the ‘on location’ box unchecked and the date off location cell will populate

• Select Tools Ready for Backload: Selects tools in the lower grid which have been marked for backload in the inventory

This option can be accessed via the database navigator menu or directly from the Daily Reporting dialog. Note that when accessing via the database navigator menu, the Activity Codes option will only be available to select from Operator Level.

These codes are used in the Daily Activities section of the Daily Reporting package and utilised for KPI Tracking Graphs and automatic calculations of Drilling Parameter and Drilling Summary data when selected.

The active check box allows the user to select which of the activity codes are active. Any codes which are selected as active will be available from the dropdown menu in the Daily Reports section. If the code is not selected as active, it will NOT be available to select in the Daily Reports. Note: Caution should be taken de-activating codes after a well has started. If a code is in use in the Daily Activity grid and the user de-activates it, it will be replaced with no selection.

The toolbar at the top of window contains additional functions:

Save: Saves any changes made.

Activate all codes: Sets all currently entered activity codes to active.

De-activate all codes: De-activates all currently entered activity codes.

Reset to defaults: Sets the activity codes to match the values entered in the Code Defaults, if any have been entered. If not, this will reset all the activity codes the Well Seeker factory default. See section 6.4.14 –Code Defaults.

Lock: If the associated Operator Properties have been locked, the Activity Codes will also be locked. Clicking on the Lock button will unlock them. If a password has been set in the associated Operator Properties, it will need to be entered before the window can be unlocked.

13.1.1 - Important Activity Codes

Most activity codes are arbitrary and do not have any specific function beyond allowing the user to differentiate between different activities in reports and KPI results. They can be added, removed, and modified without affecting the Daily Reporting package. However, some codes do have special functions which the user should be aware of:

• 2K (Rotary Drilling) and 2J (Slide Drilling): Any code beginning with the number 2 is recognised by the software as drilling activity, allowing it to record drilling hours, distances and differentiate between slide and rotation. 2K and 2J are the most important of these codes as they are the default codes used to populate the Daily Activity grid using data from the Slide Sheet. The user should make sure that 2K and 2J are always present and active in the Activity codes.

• Codes starting with 5: Codes starting with the number 5 are recorded as circulating hours by the software. The exception to this rule is code 10C (Reshoot, surveys, cycle pumps, downlink tools), which will also count as circulating time.

• Codes starting with 8: Codes starting with the number 8 are highlighted in red in the Daily Activity grid and are counted as rig non-productive time (NPT).

• Codes starting with 26: Codes starting with the number 26 are highlighted in red in the Daily Activity grid and are counted as directional non-productive time (NPT). By default, there are no 26 codes included so the user will need to add them manually if they wish to record directional NPT.

• 3Z (Sidetrack): Allows the user to change the current hole depth recorded in the daily report. The only other way to do this is with a drilling activity (code 2), which counts as drilling time. 3Z allows the user to change the hole depth (e.g., when pulling back to a sidetrack KOP) without affecting recorded drilling time.

Note that Well Seeker Pro uses the code for these activities to recognise them. All code descriptions are arbitrary and can be changed without affecting Daily Reporting functions.

This option is available at any level in the database tree by right clicking on an item and selecting Reporting > Well Analytics. Alternatively, it can be opened by clicking on the Well Analytics icon ( ) on the Daily Reporting Toolbar. See Section 14.0 – Well Analytics.

The Directional Drilling 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.

To fully utilise all features in the DD Dashboard, the user should have already set up the following:

• Created the well trajectory as a well plan and set it as the principal plan for the well.

• Created an actual well, with a survey sheet ready to be populated.

• Assigned offset wells to the survey sheet. These offsets should be any well that may cause anti-collision concerns.

• Created a lease line for the actual well.

• Created a BHA in the Drill String Editor for the actual well.

• Have the slide sheet open for the well, with the correct BHA selected for the current BHA run.

• The user can manually keep the slide sheet up to date, or they can automatically populate the slide sheet using WITS. If the user is using WITS, they must also correctly set up their Rig States thresholds.

Once set up is complete, the user can open the DD Dashboard from the slide sheet. Thy can do so by clicking on the DD Dashboard icon on the toolbar, or by opening it from the Tools menu.

Note: It is possible to have multiple DD Dashboards for the same well open at the same time, but this will cause additional CPU and memory load.

13.11.1 – DD Dashboard Main User Interface

The DD Dashboard interface is split into 6 sections. These sections can be enabled or disabled in the Settings Menu. The remaining displays will be resized to fill the empty space, so the user can get a clearer picture of displays that they want by hiding ones that they do not need.

13.11.1.1 – Real Time Gauges

The Real Time Gauges are a graphical output of drilling parameters received from incoming WITS data via the Rig States dialog.

The user can edit which parameters are displayed, and the ranges shown on each gauge by opening the Settings menu and selecting Gauge Settings.

13.11.1.2 – Toolface Rose

The Toolface Rose displays the latest toolface updates received over WITS. The centre of the rose represents the principal plan. The rings moving out from the centre represent the distance from the plan, whilst the values around the rose represent the toolface. Whether the toolface is referenced to highside or north depends on the toolfaces being received. If receiving magnetic toolfaces, the most recent toolface displayed in the centre of the rose will end in ‘MAG’ and the rose will be referenced to north. If receiving highside toolfaces, it will end in ‘L’ for Left or ‘R’ for Right and the rose will be referenced to highside. The crossover point between magnetic and highside (gravity) toolfaces is set in the Mag to Grav X/O option in the DD Dashboard Settings Window.

The Toolface Rose contains additional features that aid the DD in staying on track with the well plan. It can be configured to warn the DD if they are straying too far from the plan or tool close to any offset wells. It can also give recommendations on whether the DD should rotate or slide, and by how much, to stay close to the well plan.

The warnings and recommendations are configured in the DD Dashboard Settings Window (13.11.6 – DD Dashboard Settings Window).

The features of the Toolface Rose are described below and reference the numbers in the image above.

1. Principal Plan: The very centre point of the Toolface Rose represents the principal well plan. If the green bit projection is in the centre, then the wellbore is following the plan exactly.

2. Graphical Projections: All projections are from the Real Time Projection section and are relative to the principal plan. The green dot represents the bit projection. The yellow diamonds represent the bit projection + 100 and the bit projection +200, or the curve projection depending on the drilling mode. The pink square represents the advisory projection. There may be additional green dots with well names annotated. These represent nearby offset wells.

3. Real Time Toolfaces: The blue dots represent the most recent real time toolfaces that have been received from WITS. The transparent dark green cone represents the effective toolface (ETF), based on an average of the recent toolfaces. The red number in the centre of the rose is the most recent real time toolface to be received.

4. Tolerance Window: The red shape around the centre of the Toolface Rose represents the maximum distance that the wellbore is permitted to deviate from the well plan. As the bit projection nears this limit the user will receive a warning and will receive a second warning if the limit is crossed. The size and shape of the tolerance window depends on the drilling mode and user configuration, both of which are set in the Settings dialog (13.11.6 – DD Dashboard Settings Window).

5. Projections: This section is a trimmed down version of the Real Time Projection section, containing the MD, inclination, and azimuth of all the projections.

6. Information:

   • Mode: The current drilling mode. This is set in the Settings dialog.

   • TF to Plan: The toolface of a line drawn between the wellbore and the nearest point on the principal plan.

   • Slide (X DLS): The slide length required to achieve the DLS value in brackets, based on the predicted motor yield. DLS value is set with the Max DLS setting in the Settings Dialog. The predicted motor yield is set with the Def Motor Yield setting in the Settings dialog.

   • Rot DLS (Avg/Last): The dogleg achieved while rotating ahead.

   • Rot TF (Avg/Last): The toolface of the DLS in the Rot DLS.

   • Plan (Inc/Azi): The inclination and azimuth of the nearest point on the principal plan.

   • Delta (Inc/Azi): The different between the inclination and azimuth of the wellbore and the Plan.

   • Dist to Crit Pt: The distance to drill until the wellbore reaches the MD of the next critical plan point in the principal plan.

7. Slide Advisory Recommendation: In this section, Well Seeker will give a recommended action – either sliding or rotating - to the DD to help them stay on track with the well plan and stay within the Tolerance Window. If recommending a slide, the recommendation will suggest a toolface and length for the slide.

8. Recommendation Cone: This is a graphical representation of the advisory recommendation. If the recommendation suggests a slide, the toolface that the DD should follow will be displayed as a green cone on the Toolface Rose.

13.11.1.3 – Real Time Anti-Collision

The Real Time Anti-Collison section monitors the proximity of offset wells and lease lines, and can alert the DD if the wellbore strays too close.

By default, the principal plan and any lease lines assigned to the actual well are listed in the anti-collision table. See section 11.0 – Targets for information on setting up a lease line for a well. Offset wells need to be assigned to the survey sheet using the Offset Selector before they appear in the table (see section 6.4.7 – Offset Selector).

The table consists of the following columns.

• Reference Depth: The point on the wellbore that anti-collision calculations are calculated from.

• Centre to Centre (C2C): The distance between the wellbore and the closest point on the offset well.

• Separation Factor (SF): The separation factor between the wellbore and the offset well. Separation factor compares the C2C distance of two wells against the size of their EOU. A SF of 1 means that the EOU are touching. The SF is calculated using the below formula:

• Reference Ellipse: The size of the semi-major ellipse in the EOU of the wellbore.

• Offset Ellipse: The size of the semi-major ellipse in the EOU of the offset well.

• Ellipse Separation: The distance between the edge of the wellbore ellipse and the offset well ellipse.

For more detailed information on how anti-collision rules are calculate, see section 8.2 - Level 2: Operator. The limits for the anti-collision are set in the DD Dashboard Settings dialog:

• Min C2C: The minimum Centre to Centre (C2C) distance between the wellbore and an offset before a warning is issued.

• Min C2C Lease Line: The minimum Centre to Centre (C2C) distance between the wellbore and any lease line before a warning is issued.

• Min SF: The minimum Separation Factor (SF) between the wellbore and an offset before a warning is issued.

If any these limits are violated, the line will turn red, and a warning will appear in the Warnings column.

13.11.1.4 – Real Time Projection

The Real Time Projection section contains details of the most recent surveys recorded in the survey sheet. This includes the measured depth, inclination, azimuth, DLS (dogleg section) and TVD. The UD (Up/Down) and LR (Left/Right) columns indicate how far away the surveys are from the principal plan. Also displayed is the length of any sliding recorded in between each survey, and the calculated motor yield for that period.

The green line below the surveys represents the bit projection. The depth of the bit projection is the last recorded depth in the slide sheet. The trajectory of this projection is set by the action recorded in the slide sheet between the last survey point and the deepest depth in the slide sheet. If the drill string has been rotating, the bit projection will be a rotation projection. This will be straight unless include rotary in projection is turned on in the Settings dialog (13.11.6 – DD Dashboard Settings Window). If the drill string has been sliding, the bit projection will be a sliding projection, based on the distance of the slide and the motor yield calculated in the Settings dialog.

The two yellow lines below the bit projection represent the bit projection extended +100ft (30.48m) and +200ft (60.96m) when in Vertical or Lateral Mode. These projections are always rotary with no sliding, and if include rotary in projection is turned on in the Settings dialog then it will use the rotary DLS and rotary TF, also located in the Settings dialog. When in Curve Mode the yellow line represents the target of the curve projection.

The pink line represents the advisory projection. This shows the position of the well if the DD follows the slide recommendation in the Toolface Rose for 100 ft beyond the bit projection.

The projections will be updated in real time using the deepest out of the slide sheet or the survey sheet. If the latest survey plus survey offset is deeper than the latest slide sheet record, then the projections will be based off the survey sheet. If not, they will be based off the slide sheet.

13.11.1.5 – 3D Plot

The 3D Plot section operates in a very similar way to the 3D chart (see section 12.3 - 3D Chart). The focus point of the chart is always the reference well being drilled. Actual wells including the reference well and offsets are all coloured red. Plans are coloured blue The user can use the up and down arrow keys to move the focus point up and down the well and the information on the left will update. The user can right click to access the context menu and toggle the closest approach distances between highside and north reference.

The spheres on the plan/survey lines represent surveys or critical points in the plan. The green line represents the bit projection. The yellow line represents the bit projection extended +200ft (or 60.96m), or the curve projection when in Curve Mode. The pink line represents the advisory projection. This shows the direction of the well if the DD follows the slide recommendation in the Toolface Rose. The values for all these projections can be found in the Real Time Projection section.

The projections will be updated in real time using the deepest out of the slide sheet or the survey sheet. If the latest survey plus survey offset is deeper than the latest slide sheet record, then the projections will be based off the survey sheet. If not, they will be based off the slide sheet.

The elements displayed on the 3D Plot can be configured using the 3D Chart Menu (section 13.11.4 – DD Dashboard 3D Chart Menu).

13.11.1.6 – Drilling Parameters

The Drilling Parameters section consists of two parts. On the left all drilling parameters received via WITS are plotted are plotted against time on two trace charts. The RPM, pump pressure, WOB and block position are plotted on the top chart. The Differential pressure, flow rate, hookload and torque are plotted on the bottom chart. The Y axis ranges for all these parameters can be customised by opening the Settings menu and selecting Set Drilling Parameters Ranges.

On the right the Drilling Parameters section displays the most recent update for several parameters that are drawn from different sources:

• The drilling parameters from Hole Depth to Block Position are taken directly from the WITS feed.

• The Survey Offset and Gamma Offset are taken from the MWD Component Details in the Drill String Editor.

• The Rig State is taken from the Rig States dialog.

• The Effective Toolface and Slide Grade are calculated using toolface data from the WITS feed.

• The Hole Size, Bit Type and Bit Hydraulics values are taken from the Bit Component Details in the Drill String Editor.

• The Bottom Hole Temperature is taken from the WITS feed.

13.11.2 – DD Dashboard File Menu

Print warnings report: Prints an excel format report that displays a summary of any warnings that have been issued during drilling. Each warning will be listed in the Warning Name column. The threshold set in the DD Dashboard Settings that triggers each warning is listed in the Threshold Value column. The Time Above Threshold shows the total cumulative time that each threshold has been violated. Finally, the Alert Message column displays the message that will have been displayed in the DD Dashboard Settings window.

Exit: Closes the DD Dashboard

13.11.3 – DD Dashboard Settings Menu

Number of toolfaces: Controls how many toolfaces from the WITS feed will be displayed on the toolface rose. For example, if the maximum of 10 is selected, then the 10 most recently received toolfaces will be displayed.

Show offsets on rosebud: Toggles whether offset wells are displayed on the toolface rose. Offsets will be displayed as a green dot with the name of the offset. Offsets are selected in the Offset Selector (section 6.4.7 – Offset Selector)

Set drilling parameter ranges: Opens the Set Curve Ranges dialog, which allows the user to configure the Drilling Parameters display (see 13.11.1.6 – Drilling Parameters below). The name of each curve is listed in the Curve Name column. The user can set the maximum and minimum values displayed on each curve by editing the Max and Min columns.

Settings: Opens the DD Dashboard Settings dialog. See 13.11.6 – DD Dashboard Settings Window below.

Check for warnings: Toggling this option off will disable ALL warning alerts in the DD Dashboard if any of the warning thresholds in the DD Dashboard Settings dialog are violated. This includes anti-collision warnings. It will also disable the automatic opening of the DD Dashboard Settings dialog when a threshold is violated.

Gauge settings: Opens the Gauge Settings dialog, which allows the user to configure the Rig Gauges display (see 13.11.1.1 – Real Time Gauges below). The user can set the WITS mnemonic that each gauge displays in the Mnemonic column. They can then set the minimum and maximum values on the gauge using the Max and Min columns.

Rig messages: Opens the Rig Messages dialog. This dialog can be used to force the Toolface Rose to display a user entered slide recommendation instead of the calculated one. It can also send a message to the DD Dashboard on the Innova Web Portal.

To force a slide recommendation, the user should check the Force slide directive option. They should then enter the toolface and length of the slide advisory they wish to display. If the Specify Depth option is not checked, the advisory will start at the current bit depth. If it is checked, the user can enter the desired start depth and the slide advisory will not appear until the bit reaches that depth. Once the slide advisory is set up, the user can click the Send button to update the Toolface Rose, Slide Recommendation and advisory projections in the 3D Plot and Real Time Projection sections. Note that the toolface in the Slide Recommendation will not change.

The user can clear the forced slide directive by opening the DD Dashboard Settings window and clicking on the Calculate recommendation button.

In the Rig Message section, the user can enter their desired message and then click the Send button. Any users viewing the well through the Innova Web Portal will see the message on the DD Dashboard.

Show gauges/toolface rose/3D view/parameters chart: Toggling these options off will hide their respective displays in the DD Dashboard main user interface. The remaining displays will be resized to fill the empty space, so the user can get a clearer picture of displays that they want by hiding ones that they do not need.

13.11.4 – DD Dashboard 3D Chart Menu

The below options all configure how the 3D Plot (13.11.1.5 – 3D Plot) is displayed.

Show slide colours: Colours the reference well on the 3D plot to show which parts were drilled while rotating (red) and which were drilled while sliding (green).

Show all closest approaches: User must first turn on Show closest approach by right clicking on the 3D Plot. If this option is toggled on, the 3D Plot will show the closest approach to all offset wells instead of the currently selected offset well.

Show lease line curtain: If a lease line is present and show lease lines is on, the 3D Plot will draw a curtain from the lease line up to surface.

13.11.5 – DD Dashboard View Menu

Slide advisory history: Opens the Slide Advisory History dialog, which contains a record of all suggested slides. The dialog can be exported to an Excel report using the Print option in the File menu.

Daily report: Opens the Daily Report window for the actual well currently being viewed in the DD Dashboard. See section 13.4– Daily Reporting.

Slide sheet: Minimizes the DD Dashboard and maximizes the slide sheet for the current well (See section 13.10 – Slide Sheet). Note that closing the slide sheet will also close the DD Dashboard.

Survey sheet: Minimizes the DD Dashboard and the slide sheet and maximizes the survey sheet for the current well (See section 9.0 – Survey View). Note that closing the survey will also close the slide sheet and the DD Dashboard.

13.11.6 – DD Dashboard Settings Window

The Settings window can be opened from the DD Dashboard Settings menu (see section 13.11.3 – DD Dashboard Settings Menu or by double-clicking anywhere in the DD Dashboard. It will also appear if there are any orange or red warnings active in the Warnings section.

The Settings window allows the user to configure how projections, warnings, anti-collision and the slide recommendations behave in the DD Dashboard. The user customises this behaviour in the Configuration section. The Warnings section will display alerts if the wellbore gets close to limits set by the user in the Configuration section.

The Calculate Recommendation button in the top right will force the slide advisory in the Toolface Rose to recalculate. This can be used to undo a forced slide directive in the Rig Messages tool in the Settings Menu. See the description of Curve Mode below for details on the other options in the top of the window.

13.11.6.1 - Drilling Modes

The first five options in the Configuration section choose the drilling mode Whenever a mode is selected, the options that are relevant to that mode will be highlighted in blue in the Configuration section.

Vertical Mode: This mode should be selected when drilling the vertical section of the well. When in Vertical Mode the Warnings section will monitor the Vertical Maximum Distance (Dist. from plan) and Max Vertical Inclination (Max Inc) limits set in the Configuration section.

The Toolface Rose will display the tolerance window as a circle around the centre of the rose. The radius of the circle is set by the Vertical Maximum Distance limit and the slide advisory will attempt to stay within this limit.

Curve Mode: This mode should be selected when drilling a curve to land off a lateral or tangent section. When in Curve Mode the Warnings section will monitor the DLS to Land limit set in the Configuration section.

When in curve mode there is no tolerance window and no yellow extended bit projections. Instead, the yellow projection becomes a landing curve projection in the Toolface Rose, 3D Plot and Real Time Projection sections. This curve will project from the bit projection to the landing target, which is set by the Landing TVD, Landing Inclination and Landing Azimuth in the Configuration section.

The slide advisory will give recommendations with the intention of hitting the landing target. On the Toolface Rose, the yellow diamond shows the distance between the landing target and the principal plan. If the yellow diamond is in the centre, this means that Well Seeker projects the wellbore to land exactly with the well plan.

The landing target is chosen in the Landing Target section at the top of the dialog.

• Select Critical Point: This dropdown box contains all the plan points from the principal plan. When the user chooses a critical point from the list, it will update the landing target to the selected point. The Landing TVD, Landing Inclination and Landing Azimuth in the Configuration section will update to match the TVD, inclination, and azimuth of the critical point. Auto pick curve target must be turned off for this to work.

• Update Critical Points: If the principal plan is updated while the DD Dashboard is open, the user should click on this button to refresh the Select Critical Point dropdown list.

• Find Landing: If the user clicks on this button, Well Seeker will inspect the principal plan and attempt to automatically pick the most suitable critical point for the landing from the list. The selection in the Select Critical Point dropdown list will not update but the Landing TVD, Landing Inclination and Landing Azimuth in the Configuration section will.

Lateral Mode: Lateral Mode is designed for drilling the lateral of tangent section of the well. When in Vertical Mode the Warnings section will monitor the Lateral left/right tolerance (Max Left) and Lateral up/down tolerance (Max Down), Max delta inclination (Max Delta Inc), Max delta azimuth (Max Delt Azi) limits set in the Configuration section.

The Toolface Rose will display the tolerance window as a rectangle the centre of the rose. The height and width of the rectangle is set by the Lateral up/down tolerance and Lateral left/right tolerance limits. The slide advisory will attempt to stay within this rectangle.

Nudge Mode: This mode is currently in development and does not perform any function currently.

No Mode: No Mode only provides a projection to the bit. Extended projections, advisory projections, tolerance windows and almost all settings in the Configuration section are disabled. However, the anti-collision settings and warnings do still apply. It is possible to use the slide advisory in this mode, but it is not recommended.

13.11.6.2 – Warnings

The Warnings section monitors the constraints and limits for the wellbore set by the user in the Configuration section below. When the wellbore approaches one these limits – for example, the well wanders too far off plan and approaches the edge of the tolerance window – the DD Dashboard will issue an orange warning. The DD Dashboard main interface will flash orange, and the Settings window will appear. The warning that is nearing its limit will appear in the Warnings section, highlighted in orange.

If the wellbore crosses a limit completely the DD Dashboard will issue a red warning. The DD Dashboard main interface will flash red, and the Settings window will appear. The warning that is nearing its limit will appear in the Warnings section, highlighted in red.

• Warning: Displays the name of the parameter being monitored.

• Current value: The current value of the parameter as transmitted by WITS.

• Threshold: The limit for the value, set by the user in the Configuration section below.

• Active: When an orange or red warning is issued, this column will populate with a brief description of the issue.

• Suppress: When a warning appears in the Warnings section, the user can check this option to suppress it. A suppressed warning will not cause the DD Dashboard to flash and will not cause the Settings window to appear. The user can suppress all warnings by toggling the Check for warnings option off in the Settings menu.

• Time Exceeded: The Warnings section will record the total amount of time that the parameter has spent above the threshold.

Limits specific to the drilling modes and drilling parameters are shown constantly in the Warnings section regardless of whether they are close to their limit thresholds. The limits specific to drilling mode are described in the Drilling Modes section above. The Max Differential Pressure, Max Flow and Max RPM thresholds relate to the operational limits of the motor. To set them, the user needs to open the Drill String Editor for the BHA that the slide sheet belongs to. Then they should select the motor in the Assembly Details section and edit the limits in the Component Properties section. See section 13.5 – Drill String Editor.

13.11.6.3- Configuration

After choosing the drilling mode, the user can then use the relevant options in the Configuration section to define how the slide advisory behaves, how projections are calculated and what tolerances they wish to stay within when drilling the current section of the wellbore

Include rotary in projection: Toggling this option on will include some unintended dogleg achieved while rotating ahead. This dogleg will then be factored in when making projections and slide recommendations. The Rotary DLS and Rotary TF settings define the size and direction of this dogleg. If this option is turned off Well Seeker will assume rotary drilling to be perfectly straight when making projections and slide recommendations.

Slide advisory: Toggles on/off the slide recommendation and advisory projection in the Toolface Rose, Real Time Projection and 3D Plot sections. This option can be used hide the slide advisory of the user does not need it. It can also force the slide advisory on when in No Mode, however this is not recommended.

Limit AC display: Hides any offset wells in the Real Time Anti-Collision section that are too far away to pose any collision risk.

Auto pick curve target: Only relevant in Curve Mode. When this option is toggled on, it will alter the target of the curve projection so that it hits the landing inclination as close to the principal plan as possible. However, it will alter the Landing TVD and Landing azimuth of the curve projection to do so. The landing inclination should be selected first either using select critical point dropdown or entering a value manually into the Landing inclination option.

Auto motor yield: Only functions when in Curve Mode. When this option is toggled on Well Seeker will use the slide sheet and survey sheet to automatically calculate the value in the Motor Yield setting. The survey sheet and slide sheet must cover the same part of the well for Well Seeker to be able to calculate the Motor Yield. Well Seeker will automatically keep the Motor Yield up to date as new slides and surveys are added.

Auto rotary: Like the Auto Motor Yield option above, when this option is toggled on it will use the survey sheet and the slide sheet to automatically calculate the Rotary DLS and Rotary TF settings. Does not function in No Mode.

Landing TVD: Only relevant in Curve Mode. Sets the TVD of the end point of the curve projection. This can be set by selecting the landing point from the select critical point dropdown list or using the auto pick curve target option. If auto pick curve target is off, this value can be edited manually.

Landing inclination: Only relevant in Curve Mode. Sets the inclination of the end point of the curve projection. This can be set by selecting the landing point from the select critical point dropdown list. If auto pick curve target is off, this value can be edited manually.

Landing azimuth: Only relevant in Curve Mode. Sets the azimuth of the end point of the curve projection. This can be set by selecting the landing point from the select critical point dropdown list or using the auto pick curve target option. If auto pick curve target is off, this value can be edited manually.

Rotary DLS: Sets the unintended dogleg of the wellbore while rotating ahead. Well Seeker will use the slide and survey records to automatically calculate this if Auto Rotary is turned on. If Include Rotary in Projection is turned on, Well Seeker will then factor this into the bit projection and the slide advisory.

Rotary TF: Sets the toolface for the Rotary DLS option above. Well Seeker will use the slide and survey records to automatically calculate this if Auto Rotary is turned on. If Include Rotary in Projection is turned on, Well Seeker will then factor this into the bit projection and the slide advisory.

Motor yield: The motor yield of the drill string while sliding. This will be used to calculate the slide recommendation and the bit projection. Well Seeker will automatically calculate this if Auto Motor Yield is turned on.

Default motor yield: If Well Seeker is unable to calculate a motor yield for the Motor Yield option above, it will use the value entered here by the user. Does not function in No Mode.

Max vertical inclination: This setting is only utilized when in Vertical Mode. Allows the user to set the maximum inclination that the wellbore is allowed to reach. A warning will be issued as this limit is approached. The slide advisory will take this setting into account and will suggest a slide if the inclination starts to get close the limit.

Max delta inclination: This setting is utilized in Lateral Mode. It represents the maximum allowed difference between the wellbore inclination and the principal plan inclination. The user will receive a warning if this limit is approached, and the slide advisory will recommend a slide back towards the plan.

Max delta azimuth: This setting is utilized in Curve Mode and Lateral Mode. In Curve Mode it sets how much the Auto Pick Curve Target is allowed to alter the azimuth of the landing point. For example, if the selected critical point has an azimuth of 140 and the Max Delta Azi is 2, then turning on Auto Pick Curve Target will result in a Landing Azi value of 138 – 142. Increasing the Max Delta Azi will allow Auto Pick Curve Target to land closer to the plan but at the cost of azimuth accuracy.

In Lateral Mode the Max Delta Azi represents the maximum allowed difference between the wellbore azimuth and the principal plan azimuth. The user will receive a warning if this limit is approached, and the slide advisory will recommend a slide back towards the plan.

Vertical maximum distance: This setting is only utilized when in Vertical Mode. Sets the maximum distance that the wellbore is allowed to deviate from the well plan. A warning will be issued as this limit is approached. The slide advisory will take this setting into account and will suggest a slide if the distance starts to get close the limit. When in Vertical Mode this distance is illustrated on the Toolface Rose as the radius of the tolerance window around the centre of the rose.

Lateral up/down tolerance: This setting is only utilized when in Lateral Mode. Sets the maximum distance above or below that the wellbore is allowed to deviate from the principal plan. This value is represented on the Toolface Rose as the height of the red tolerance window. The slide advisory will attempt to keep the wellbore within the tolerance window, and the user will receive a warning if the bit projection nears the edges.

Lateral left/right tolerance: This setting is only utilized when in Lateral Mode. Sets the maximum distance to the left or right that the wellbore is allowed to deviate from the principal plan. This value is represented on the Toolface Rose as the width of the red tolerance window. The slide advisory will attempt to keep the wellbore within the tolerance window, and the user will receive a warning if the bit projection nears the edges.

Lateral tolerance offset up/down: This setting is only utilized when in Lateral Mode. Allows the user to shift the lateral tolerance window in the Toolface Rose up or down. Negative values will shift the window up, while positive values will shift the window down.

Lateral tolerance offset left/right: This setting is only utilized when in Lateral Mode. Allows the user to shift the lateral tolerance window in the Toolface Rose left or right. Negative values will shift the window left, while positive values will shift the window down.

Maximum DLS: Sets the maximum dogleg severity that the slide advisory in the Toolface Rose is allowed to suggest for a slide. Does not function in No Mode.

Minimum slide length: Sets the minimum slide distance that the slide advisory in the Toolface Rose is allowed to suggest for a slide. This is to stop the slide advisory suggesting many tiny nudge slides. If the recommended slide is less than this minimum, the slide advisory will suggest rotating ahead instead. Does not function in No Mode.

Magnetic to gravity X/O: Sets the inclination crossover point between magnetic and gravity toolfaces. For wellbore inclinations below the value set here, toolfaces received over WITS will be interpreted as magnetic toolfaces. Inclinations above the value will be interpreted as gravity/highside toolfaces.

Aggressiveness: Aggressiveness is a coefficient that tells the slide advisory how strictly it should enforce limits and monitor the wellbores proximity to the plan. Value should be between 0 and 100. At high aggressiveness the slide advisory will react sooner, while at low aggressiveness it will allow the wellbore to stray closer to limits before it suggests a slide. Default value is 50. Does not function in Curve Mode or No Mode.

Projection distance 1: Sets the size of the first yellow extended bit projection in the Real Time Projection section. By default, this is +100ft beyond the bit projection, but the user can change the distance here. Does not function in Curve Mode or No Mode.

Projection distance 2: Sets the size of the second yellow extended bit projection in the Real Time Projection section. By default, this is +200ft beyond the bit projection, but the user can change the distance here. Does not function in Curve Mode or No Mode.

Stand length: Sets the length of a stand. This is to help the slide advisory work out how much distance it has to work with when suggesting a slide. Default value is 100 ft. Does not function in Curve Mode or No Mode.

Stand length curve: This setting is only utilized when in Curve Mode. This works the same as the Stand Length setting above but allows the user to set a different stand length for the curve section. This is in case the user wishes to take multiple surveys in a stand rather than at just stand down. Default value is 30ft.

Minimum C2C: Sets the minimum centre-to-centre distance allowed in the Real Time Anti-Collision section. A warning will be issued as this limit is approached.

Minimum C2C lease line: Sets the minimum centre-to-centre distance for lease lines allowed in the Real Time Anti-Collision section. A warning will be issued as this limit is approached.

Minimum separation factor: Sets the minimum separation factor (SF) allowed in the Real Time Anti-Collision section. A warning will be issued as this limit is approached.

The AFE Designer can only be accessed via a plan, by right clicking on a planned well in the database tree and selecting AFE designer via the reporting submenu. This option will be greyed out when accessed from any other level in the database tree. See Section 15.0 – AFE Plan Designer.

Any text in the formation and comments section will be displayed in the BHA report when printed.

13.5.7.3 – Assembly Details

The Assembly Details grid allows the user to construct the drill string, allowing it to be included in various reports in the Drill String, Performance Report and Daily Reporting Modules. Different types of assembly can be modelled including drilling, casing and liner assemblies and data entry is identical for each.

The grid can be manipulated by right clicking on a row to open the Assembly Grid Context Menu:

• Copy: Copies the selected row.

• Paste: Replaces the selected row with the copied row.

• Delete: Deletes the selected row.

• Insert: Inserts a new row into the assembly above the selected line.

• Move Up / Move Down: Moves the selected line up or down in the list. Line 1 cannot be moved and should always contain the lowest component in the BHA, for example the bit.

• Insert from Catalogue: Automatically fills in the component information in the Assembly Details. See Section 13.5.9 – Component Catalogue for more information.

• Insert from Inventory: Opens the Insert From Inventory dialog. See Section 13.5.8 – Insert from Inventory for more information.

New lines can be added opening the Context Menu and selecting the Insert command. Lines can also be deleted by selecting the desired row, opening the Context Menu and selecting Delete. Lines in the grid can be rearranged using the Move Up and Move Down buttons in the Context Menu, except for the bit, which must always remain at the top in row 1.

It is recommended that the first thing the user does when filling in a new line is select the component type in the Component column. Once a component type has been selected on any given line, the user can then either manually enter the relevant component details, or by right clicking on the line, select to insert the component from the Catalogue or from the Inventory. Selecting to insert opens either the component catalogue or the insert from inventory dialog and allows the user to choose the appropriate component and insert the relevant details automatically at the click of a button.

The following describes each column in the Assembly Details table:

Component: Before any other details can be entered the component type must be selected from the dropdown list. The type of component that is selected will determine the properties displayed in the Component Properties section. A list of component types and their properties can be found in Appendix E – Drill String Editor Component Properties.

Description: A description of the component entered. This is only used in the generation of reports and plays no part in any of the calculations

OD: The outer diameter of the component in inches or mm

ID: The inside diameter of the component in inches or mm

TJ OD: If the component has a tool joint (such as drill pipe) enter the OD in inches into this column.

TJ ID: If the component has a tool joint (such as drill pipe) enter the ID in inches into this column.

Weight: This is the weight per unit length of the component, this must be entered by the user and is used for BHA weight calculations.

Cumulative Weight: The cumulative weight of the drill string components up to that point. This is automatically calculated.

The user can create a new bid sheet by clicking on the New Bid Sheet icon in the toolbar or selecting the Add option in the File menu. In the top section of the Bid Sheet dialog the user can select existing bids from the dropdown box. The box beside the dropdown box contains the date that the bid sheet was created. This can be edited if the user wishes. In the Description box the user should give the bid sheet a name. On the far right of the top section, the user can enter an expiry date for the bid.

In the Bid Categories section, the user can enter prices for the quote. In the Description field they should enter a name for each item. In the Cost Code field, they should give each item a unique code. The Cost field should contain the price for one unit of the item. In the Schedule field the user should choose how the item is charged from the dropdown box. For example, if the item is a day rate for DD services, the user should choose the DAY schedule. The items will appear as a price listing in the quote.

For each item entered in the Bid Categories section, the user can add additional costs or items in the Details section. These costs will be listed beneath each parent item in the price listing in the quote. If the item is included in the list of its parent, the user should select INCLUDED from the Cost Schedule dropdown. If the item has additional costs, the user should give it a Cost Code and a Cost for one unit.

In the Customer and Supplier Details sections, the user should pick the desired customer and supplier from the dropdown boxes. The information in the Customer Details and Supplier Details section is entered in the Shipping Addresses tool (see section 13.7 – Shipping Addresses)

In the Front Page Text section the user should write a cover letter for their quote. The signature for the Front Page Text will be taken from the Supplier Details. In the Notes section the user can add any additional information. This will appear below the price listing in the quote.

Once the above sections have been completed, the user can generate a quote in PDF format by clicking on the Print bid sheet icon on the toolbar or by opening the File menu and selecting Print.

If the bid is approved by the client, the user should enter the date it was approved in the Appr. Date box in the top section. The user approving the bid should also enter their name in the Approved By box. Note that if connected to a remote server database, the user must have Approver user permission set to do this – see section 6.4.12.5 – User Permissions.

If the user has the Approver user permission set, they can also archive bids by clicking on the Archived checkbox. This will make the bid invisible to users on a remote server database that do not have Approver user permission. Archiving bids on a local database has no effect.

Once a bid has been approved by entering a name into the Approved By box, the cost codes in the Bid Categories and Details sections can be sent to a well as cost codes. The user should click on the Copy Bid to Cost Codes button on the toolbar or use the same option in the File menu. Well Seeker will ask the user which well under the current operator they would like to send them to. Any items in the Bid Categories and Details section with a Cost Code and a Cost entered will be added to that wells Cost Code table. See section 13.2 - Cost Codes for more information.

Bid Sheet File Menu options

Copy to another operator: Duplicates the currently selected bid sheet to another operator selected by the user.

Copy bid to cost codes: Sends the costs in the Bid Categories and Details sections to the Cost Code table of a well under the current operator. A dialog box will appear that allows the user to select the destination well. This option is only available if a bid has been approved by entering a name into the Approved By box.

Exit: Closes the Bid Sheet dialog.

Bid Sheet Tools Menu options

Archive Bid: Archives the currently selected bid. On a remote server database this makes the bid invisible to anybody that does not have Approver privileges.

Only available at Actual Well level. The Daily Activity Editor allows the user to view all the daily activities for an actual well in one chronological table. The user can make edits to the activities in the table the same way they would in the Daily Reporting window.

The Daily Activity Editor can be used to check for mistakes in the daily activities. Cells will be highlighted in red if the end time/depth do not match with the start time/depth of row below. Cells in the BHA and Phase columns will also be highlighted in red if the BHA/phase is different to the ones above and below. This is usually an indicator that the user has filled in the wrong BHA/phase by mistake.

Once the user is happy with their edits, they can save them by clicking on the Apply button.

Only available at actual well level. This option opens the In Zone % Calculator, which lets the user calculate how much of their surveys lie within a defined tolerance zone around the desired well path.

The user should define the tolerance zone as follows:

• Lateral start/end MD: The start and end point of the lateral zone.

• TVD: The TVD of the lateral that the user desires to maintain.

• Dip: The horizontal dip of the lateral.

• Azimuth: The bearing of the lateral referenced to north.

• Up/Down/Left/Right Tolerance: The distance above, below and to the left and right of the lateral to the edge of the tolerance zone.

Once the above values have been entered, the user can click on the calculate button to get the In Zone % result. Well Seeker compares the surveys in the wellbore to the tolerance zone and calculates what percentage of them lie inside it.

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.

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.

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.

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. This will form the basis of what tool configurations the user can specifically ask for when using the Tool Orders dialog. This can be edited later if required. When the user has filled in all the relevant options, select Apply and then close the dialog.

5. Fill in the relevant details in the Tool Orders table:

• If the tool order is for a job that has no daily reporting data yet, such as an upcoming job, then the user would input the Operator, Job # and Well information and leave the Hole Size, State, County, Rig, Mud Type, Mud Weight, Min Temp and Max Temp inputs blank.

• If the tool order is for an existing job which has daily reporting data input within the database, the user would enter the Job # only and the rest of the cells will populate based upon the daily reporting data.

• Update the Date Needed cell. This defaults to the date the tool order was created.

• Input any additional information in the remaining cells.

1. At any stage a tool order can be printed or attached to an email. Firstly select the tool order from the Tool Order table. In the Order Details table, check the Print cell for any row that you wish to be included in the printed report.

3. A tool orders status can be updated from the Status dropdown menu as the tool order progresses through its work cycle.

6. Fill in the relevant details in the Order Details table. Some cells will be manually input, others will be selectable from the dropdown menu, the choices of which the user has set up previously. More than one row for multiple tools may be input in this section.

7. The Tool Order has been completed. By default, the tool order status is Draft. This should be changed to Submitted when the details are finalized. The status can be updated sequentially as the tool order is In Progress, Shipped and Complete.

8. At any stage a tool order can be printed or attached to an email. Firstly select the tool order from the Tool Order table. In the Order Details table, check the Print cell for any row that you wish to be included in the printed report.

10. A tool orders status can be updated from the Status dropdown menu as the tool order progresses through its work cycle.

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.

Only available at actual well level. If a slide sheet is deleted or corrupted, it may be possible to recover it from the daily activities section of the daily report.

The user should select the BHA or BHAs that they wish to recover the slide sheets for, by checking the Recover checkbox beside their name and then clicking OK. Note that this will overwrite any existing data in the slide sheet and cannot be undone.

Well Seeker will look for rotary drilling and slide drilling activities that are assigned to the selected BHA in the daily report. It will then transfer the date, start time, end time, start depth and end depth of these activities to the slide sheet. It will also attempt to read the drilling parameters from the activity description and transfer them to the slide sheet. However, this will only work if the description is written in the below format, as if it had been imported using the Get DDR from Run Sheet button:
