Dynamic Graphics WellArchitect Technology

WellArchitect, developed in conjunction with Baker Hughes, is an advanced well planning and survey management system for integrated planning and drilling of directional wellpaths with or without earth models. Devised to seamlessly accommodate the needs of sidetracking, multi-lateral wellpaths, and re-entry drilling, WellArchitect is used at both the office and wellsite, by all personnel levels in the industry. Trajectory calculations, target erosion by positional uncertainty, reporting, plotting, and 3D visualization are all included in this package.

WellArchitect Features

• Combines powerful directional drilling software with advanced 3D visualization and modeling capabilities—a major step forward for the drilling and oil and gas industry
• Handles a range of applications from single wellpath survey calculation through to multi-wellsite, multi-well planning, collision risk analysis, and data management
• Visualize reference wellpath, offset paths, geologic and driller′s targets, ellipsoids of uncertainty, as well as the geologic or cellular model, for optimal wellbore placement
• Hazard avoidance: be alerted when a path intersects an horizon or fault below a user-specific angle
• Target sizing based on positional uncertainty, special return-to-plan capabilities, trajectory planning in basic and advanced modes, as well as easy data transfer from the office to the wellsite (and back), are among the many features designed to improve the well planning and survey management experience
• Sophisticated Graphic Editor facilitates plotting for wall maps and page-sized scale drawings
• Complete reporting package covering data management and transfer reports as well as wellpath and clearance calculation reporting
