 DSG Well Planning

Module of DecisionSpace Geoscience to

quickly and effectively plan wells locations,
trajectories and completion intervals through
geoscience and drilling team collaboration

© 2018 Halliburton. All rights reserved. 23

 - Different modes available: single and multi well planning, manual or automatic

- Interactive with guided steps

- Flexibile: mature, deep water, new venture and also unconventionals scenarios

- Planning methods similar to Compass

- Automation to reduce Well-Planning Cycle Time & optimize cost PRODUCTIVITY

- Redline parameters and basic anticollision evaluation, with report SAFETY

© 2018 Halliburton. All rights reserved. 24

 Typical Collaborative workflow

- Use cultural info (GIS) > define lease boundaries and

surface hazards for sites/surface wells location

- Use G&G data (seismic, 3D grids, surface grids, faults) >

manually or automatically select targets and subsurface
hazards.

- Define pad/platform numbers and types (slot numbers and

costs)

Surface Fault
grids

 - Define well trajectory (vertical/horizontal) with appropriate KOP, inclination, DLS, reach.
Manual or automatic set up with optimization

- Compare different scenarios solutions, estimating

costs

- Exchange information with EDM (Compass) to refine well trajectory, making the right decision.

 Surveys and plans

Survey: drilled well with stations along MD

Plan: tentative well (principal or prototype) Survey errors
and cone of uncertainties
for each survey station
Survey tools: providing survey
measurements (MD, incl, azim)
at each survey stations while drilling.

Each tool has uncertainties for MD, incl,

azim (elliptical error around each station,
increasing with depth) impacting on Scanning
trajectory, geological target positioning and methods for
anticollision
anticollision (respect to offset wells).

Magnetic tools also affected by magnetic field > higher errors than gyros.

* well trajectory typically calculated using minimum curvature method as method of interpolation of survey
stations.

 Main Drilling & Completions Challenges
▪ Survey uncertainties and Anti-Collision
▪ Avoid hazards (ie faults) and reach sweet spots with precision
▪ Plan Effective Wells: reduce footage, tortuosity and cost while increasing Coverage Factor
▪ Adhere to Drilling Constraints

▪ Avoid damage to formations and surface equipment Errors sum <

▪ Completions Efficiency (especially for injector wells)

 Fast Track Well Planning offshore Borneo

▪ Over-pressurized environment with shallow

hazards and channels. Two prior drilling efforts by
another operator failed to reach the geological
target.
▪ Planning for the primary well location and six
geological sidetrack scenarios was accomplished
in a single day using DS Well Planning technology
▪ The well was drilled successfully without
operational problems, faster than anticipated and SPE-182449-MS
under budget. Fast Track Well Planning in Borneo

“In terms of well planning, deepwater wells require at least 12 to 18

months of lead time before execution. Therefore, it is phenomenal
that the operator successfully delivered its first fast track
deepwater exploration well in less than two months, from
planning to spud.”

 Collaborative Well Solution Offshore South America
Optimized trajectory combining:
- geoscience knowledge (better location of formation tops>avoiding potentially unstable intervals)
- drilling knowledge (producing a wellbore smooth enough to enable future interventions,
avoiding the use of one additional casing string)

 Optimize Relief Well Designs in Gulf of Mexico

The US government requires operators to submit 2 complete

relief well plans to obtain a deepwater drilling permit.

Generation of hundreds of scenarios in a mere half hour or less

in a deepwater subsalt scenario

Crucial in emergency
Relief wells below salt base
situation where every
minute increases potential
health, safety,
environmental, legal,
financial
and political liabilities.

Using DSWP as part of RTOC

Challenges:

- NPT (wellbore stability, stuck pipe, sidetrack issues)

often accounts for up to 40% of total well costs
- G&G and Drilling not talking to each other

Real Time Operation Center at Repsol using DSWP

and Engineering Notes to generates a three-day

real-time operations.
