RADAR

Directional Drilling

Built on DSP-One technology, Radar is a fully integrated suite of programs designed to meet the needs of Directional Drilling Service Companies.

Radar provides extensive functionalities for performing well planning, trajectory calculations during both the planning and drilling stages, collision avoidance and trajectory corrections to get back on target.

Throughout the entire suite, extensive use of graphical displays is made of both input data and calculated results. Radar includes a complete and robust reporting database with a Slide Sheet report.

The Contents of Radar

Well Planning
Stipulate platform, rig, slot and target Grid/UTM data for the well.

Directional Drilling
Design a well path section by section from start point to target, using a selection of directional methods.

Anti-Collision
Compute a well position uncertainty (using either of the two error models: Cone or Ellipsoid of Uncertainty). The result can then be used in conjunction with a selection of collision-risk wells and one of the separation models (Horizontal, Traveling Cylinder or Closest Approach (3D)) to conduct Collision Analysis. This analysis can be carried out over the length of the current well (depth scanning) or over a forward projection of an actual well.

Well Outline
Define a basic casing program, enter formation tops (with TVD to measured depth correlation) and drilling performances. The module automatically generates a drawing of the well outline and corresponding time-depth curves.

Mud Window
When Pore and Frac pressures are available, the mud window is displayed according to the selected casing depths.

Drill String Analysis
This module contains a selection of sub-modules covering:

  • drilling hydraulics
  • drag and torque
  • trip drag chart
  • friction factors back calculation
  • casing wear prediction

Due to data sharing capabilities of DSP-One, the drag and torque calculations re-use a high proportion of the data supplied to the hydraulics module.

Survey
Survey management is available from all modules of DSP-One that require it. For actual wells, the user can import survey data in a variety of common formats. There are a host of utilities supplied with the Survey module.

Sliding Sheet
Data quality checks and reports are included
