Well Planning Data
Interactive Well Site
The Well Planning form is used to record planned operations milestones, well construction or workover requirements and engineering decisions to enable planned versus actual comparisons. The Well Planning report supports operations and well construction planning for the primary wellbore and any number of planned sidetrack wellbores. The well planner may create a list of planned sidetracks for the well program and all planned downhole data may be associated to a specific design, enabling engineers to record well programs for planned sidetrack and multi-lateral wells.
The Well Planning report supports the entry of a fully comprehensive Well Program and integrates with other Engineer's Desktop™ Well Planning application data sets.
This report is typically completed in the office by a Well Planning team, rather than in the field. Therefore, a new Well Planning report CANNOT be created from the Interactive Well Site interface. Users must launch OpenWells in its classic interface mode to add a new Well Planning report.
When creating a Well Planning report the following standards apply:
Multiple Well Planning reports may be created within a single wellbore, one for each design.
The Well Planning report that is associated with the planned design is used for general Planned vs. Actual comparisons (e.g., OpenWells® Output Reports). I no planned design is present a Well Planning report associated to a prototype may be used.
Only one Design can be associated with a Well Planning report.
No more than one Planned Design can be associated with a wellbore.
Multiple Prototype Designs are allowed within a wellbore.
If a Design is locked, Well Planning sections associated to the design will be read-only, except for those which are only exposed in the OpenWells Well Planning report.
Integration Note: Well Planning reports are associated to a Design. This allows for natural integration with data created and calculated by Landmark's other well planning applications: COMPASS™, CasingSeat™, StressCheck™, PROFILE™ and WELLPLAN™. Some sections of the report are read-only when the associated Design is locked or another application has the Design open.
Well Planning data can be recorded from the interactive well site, by clicking on the Plan button located in the bar on the left side of the screen.
A yellow check mark 
appears
next to an item on the Interactive Well Site to indicate that data exists
on the current day for the item.
Once all data has been entered and reviewed, activate the Section Complete check box located at the top of the page or in the section header.
The yellow check mark, on the Interactive Well Site, turns green 
to indicate that the data entered today
for the section is complete.
In OpenWells Classic, a green check mark will appear on the section
icon (
) to indicate that all required data
has been entered in the section.
Customization Note: OpenWells® software is a fully customizable application. Reports that have been customized by your company may not appear exactly as described in this help system.
The Well Planning report consists of the following sections:
General - Records the Well Planning team's summary of the Well Design.
Casing Program - Record the planned sequence of Casings or Liners run in the hole. If the associated Design has previously been created and populated by CasingSeat™ software or StressCheck™ software, this data will appear in this section.
Cement Program - Record the cementing requirements for each casing or liner cemented in the hole. For workover or re-completions, squeeze and plug cement jobs may also be documented.
Completions - Define the planned completion assuming successful encountering of hydrocarbons in the anticipated production zones.
Completion Strings - Define planned completion strings.
Coring Program - Record a list of cores to be taken while drilling the well.
Directional Drilling Plan - Summarize the planned trajectory, selected targets, directional drilling parameters for each plan section and document known anti-collision risks.
Drillstring Program - Document the planned drillstring assembly and bit program designed to drill each hole section.
Equipment - Define equipment, vendors/service companies required on location to complete the well.
Frac Gradient - Define the fracture gradient profile as a function of true vertical depth.
Geothermal Gradient - Define the geothermal gradient as a function of depth. This temperature profile is used as the default initial temperature state for all casing strings and is used to model circulation temperature profiles down the drillstring and up the annulus.
Health, Safety and Environment - Captures known or anticipated health, safety, and environment issues and procedures to be implemented during Well operations.
Hole Plan - Record planned hole section information, progress and costs information, which can be used for comparison purposes in the planned vs. actual, depth vs. days and cost vs. days performance graphical reports and in iWellFile™ software.
Logging Program - Document a list of log runs planned for the well.
Mud Program - Capture planned fluid intervals and associated mud cleaning equipment for each hole section.
Offset Wells - Select Events from Offset Wells for performance comparisons with the current planned Well. These Events are used to review Offset Well performance data which is used to determine the "Best Case" Offset Well performance and Technical Limit for the current planned operation from historical Wells contained in the EDM™ database.
Perforation Intervals - Define planned perforation intervals.
Planned Operations - Record the planned sequence of operations for a Well based on existing data from similar Wells. Planned operations may be defined for Phase or Operation activity code. Actual activities may be linked to planned operations so that detailed planned versus actual comparisons can be made.
Pore Pressure - Define a pore pressure profile as a function of true vertical depth.
Sidetracks - Define any planned sidetracks and associating them to a Design.
Stimulations - Record planned stimulation jobs and the depth intervals.
Tests - Create a list of planned tests and intervals.
Treatments - Define planned treatments.
Well Services - Capture the production plan for the well. This is accomplished by recording production rate before the workover, expected and actual production rate after the workover. This section consists of the following areas:
Wellbore Formation - Record anticipated geological column and expected depths, formations and lithology.
Remarks - Contains a memo field that allows free-form text entry.
