Casing Program Section
Well Planning Report
The Casing Program section uses a Detail Spreadsheet to 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.
The Current Wellbore/Design picklist identifies the active wellbore/design for the data displayed in this section.
This section displays information for the wellbore/sidetrack selected in the Current Wellbore/Design picklist. Changing the selected wellbore/sidetrack updates the information displayed in the section.
Note:
This section is read-only when the associated Design is locked or another application has the Design open.
Changes made to Planned and Prototype Design's data in PROFILE™ software are reflected in the Well Planning report for the same Design.
For information on using spreadsheets, see the Using Spreadsheets and Tables topic.
This section contains the following spreadsheets:
Locked check box
The Locked check box appears at the bottom of the Casing Program section. This check box indicates whether the associated Design has been locked. If activated, the Design is locked and the fields can no longer be modified. A Design can be locked or unlocked through the Design Properties dialog accessed using the Well Explorer in one of the Engineer's Desktop™ software engineering applications, such as COMPASS™, CasingSeat™ and StressCheck™.
The Assembly Strings spreadsheet is used to describe the planned casing on liner assemblies to be run in hole. Click the Add Row () button to add a row to the spreadsheet and complete the information for the assembly called for in each of the columns.
Depth Calculation Top to Base
Activate this check box to change the component depth calculations to top down. If not activated, component depths are calculated bottoms up using assembly set depth. If activated, component depths and the assembly set depth are calculated top down from the top depth.
Assembly Length
The Assembly Length is automatically calculated as the sum of component lengths listed in the String Components spreadsheet.
MD Landed
The landed measured depth is calculated based on the sum of the MD Top, Depth Correction and component Length fields entered in the String Components spreadsheet.
Note: If Calc Top To Base is not set, this value can be entered by the user.
The assembly components spreadsheet is used to record the planned components required for the assembly.
Wellbore assembly components are usually recorded in order from the top of the Well to the bottom. OpenWells® software does, however, let the user select how to enter the components: Bottom to Top or Top to Bottom.
Click the Add Row () button to add a row to the spreadsheet and complete the information for the component called for in each of the columns.
File Attachment Support ( )
The String Components spreadsheet allows for one or more electronic documents to be attached to a component in the spreadsheet. This enables tool specification sheets, photographs, or installation instructions to be detailed for each tool.
To attach a file to a component in the spreadsheet, left-click the cell in the (Attachment) column and select New.... The Attachment Properties dialog allows the user to attach a document to the row. For more information see the Using Attachments in Spreadsheets topic.
Section Type and Component Type
Each component must be specified with a Section Type and a Component Type. A Section Type is the type of equipment; a Component Type is a more specific tool type. Some tool Section Types are supported by EDM catalogs. When most Section Types are selected, a Catalog Selection dialog appears enabling the user to select the component from equipment lists populated from the catalog. Selecting the Section Type automatically populates the Component Type column. For information on using a catalog, see the Catalogs topic.
The Auto Catalog Select command is activated the Catalog Selection dialog automatically appears by default.
Top Set and MD Base
When the Depth Calc Top To Base is activated, the Top Set is the measured depth at the top of the component and the MD Base is the measured depth at the bottom of the component. The length of the component is added to the Top Set to calculate the MD Base for the current component which also becomes the Top Set depth for the next component in the assembly.
