Use the appropriate tools to import data to OpenWells. Use the appropriate tools to export data from OpenWells. Send a Report to the office using the Field Office Data Transfer application.

The Origins of OpenWells OpenWells has been developed to replace Landmark Graphics Corporation’s DIMS (Drilling Information Management System) application. DIMS is still the most widely used drilling and well services operations reporting system in the industry. Introduced in the mid 1980’s, the original DIMS application was created to allow the morning daily drilling reports to be entered at remote, Canadian rig sites, transmitted into the office using a 1200 baud modem, and printed on dot matrix printers in the Drilling Department. DIMS grew into a complete office to well-site operations, reporting, analysis, and database management system which could be configured to adapt to any operating environment. The technological environment has grown and changed. Slow baud rates have been replaced with ultra-fast modems, satellite supported, and wide area networks. The trickle of operations data from the field has become a wide, bi-directional flow, linking field and office together. Despite the advances in hardware technology there exists a need in the oil and gas industry to capture, report, review, analyze, and optimize Well operations for cost efficiency as well as worker, public, and environmental safety. These needs existed when DIMS was created. They existed over the years when DIMS served our clients as a valuable tool. They still exist and have become even more complex in today’s marketplace where demand for increased performance and cost efficiency contained by a decreasing sized workspace requires knowledge and understanding to be captured and widely accessible in Well engineering software systems.

Individual sets of isolated well information have accumulated into vast pools of knowledge that have become true corporate assets. Allowing this information to be available across a company whenever it is needed and by whatever application needs it, are challenges that can be answered by OpenWells and the Engineer’s Desktop.

About This Manual This training manual complements the instruction provided in the OpenWells Basics training course. Each section of this manual corresponds to a section completed in the course and can be used both during and after the course to answer questions that you may have about OpenWells.

System Overview OpenWells is designed to provide drilling, completions, well servicing, and operations reporting information within a single application. OpenWells is a fully customizable application that can be configured to meet the specific needs of a company. OpenWells is built around the following key themes: customization, integration, value of data, security, modernization, and ease of use.

Customization The customization features in OpenWells allow the user to configure elements such as the data entry forms, output reports, preview panes, and shortcut bars. OpenWells also includes full internationalization support. This means that by changing the Windows Regional Settings, OpenWells can be launched in another language.

Integration The integration of drilling engineering workflows through the Engineer’s Desktop provides improved data integrity across applications. As more versions of OpenWells are released, Landmark is continuing to develop more efficient workflows for various groups of users including Well Services Engineers, Drilling (field) users, Wellsite Geologists, Office Well Planners, and Management.

Value of Data OpenWells offers improved graphic visualization of data through features such as customizable data previews and thoughtfully developed output reports. The 2003.11 release of EDM will also include Data Analyzer, PROFILE, and iWellFile (based on iDIMS).

Security Security is extremely important for the protection of client data. In OpenWells there are two types of security; application security and database security. In the OpenWells application, security is enabled through the assignment of security levels to fields and users and through the use of tokens. Security levels are given to fields within the application. Users are also given a security level. If the users’ security level is greater than or equal to that of the field, the user can access the field contents. Tokens are also used to provide or revoke access to specific functionality in the application. The ability to edit, add, or delete within the application is based on tokens.

Modernization The 2003.5 version of EDM provides a set of tools to help clients move DIMS data into OpenWells using a complete and comprehensive data migration.

Ease of Use OpenWells offers an improved user interface the implementation of a three paned navigational window. This application has been designed with interfaces common to the suite of Landmark engineering application whenever possible. While in the design phase, client feedback was incorporated into the design of the Data Entry Forms.

OpenWells Concepts and Terminology Engineer’s Desktop The Engineer’s Desktop is built on a robust integrated infrastructure known as the Engineer’s Data Model. The Engineer's Data Model (EDM) is Landmark’s Drilling, Well Services, Production, and Economics integration platform. EDM provides a common database schema that allows for common data access, enables naturally integrated engineering workflows, and reduces data entry duplication across applications. The EDM database improves integration between Landmark's Drilling and Well Services products by enabling OpenWells to use and share the same data set with other engineering applications. Release 2003.11 Engineering applications include: CasingSeat - Casing shoe size and depth selection, StressCheck - Casing Design, COMPASS - directional well planning, survey management and anticollision risk assessment, WELLPLAN - Torque/Drag, Stuck Pipe, BHA Drill Ahead analysis, Critical Speed string vibration analysis, Swab-Surge, Hydraulics, Cementing, Well Control, and Engineering Notebook, OpenWells - comprehensive wellsite operations reporting, communications, analysis and engineering information in a corporate data management system used to capture data for drilling and well services operations. PROFILE - data driven wellbore equipment schematic diagrams allowing the visualization of currently installed and historical wellbore information and downhole equipment; allows for quick entry of wellbore equipment and downhole equipment. EDM Engineering applications share many User Interface components including: • • •

The EDM database is a mix of common data tables, common infrastructure tables, and application specific tables. The common data tables allow the applications to naturally integrate through sharing of a single data hierarchy and common data such as assemblies and formation tops. Data required in a specific application is stored within dedicated application data tables. All applications communicate with the EDM database through data handler layers. Most commonly, the EDM Data Services toolkit developed by Landmark is used. Data Services handles all of the select, insert, update, and delete transactions required by the application and also provides for Import and Export of data transfer files using XML as the data definition language.

Data Migration The Data Migration Toolkit is included with Release 2003.5. The Data Migration Toolkit allows companies to migrate COMPASS, WELLPLAN, and DIMS data sets to EDM. Common data from COMPASS, WELLPLAN, and DIMS databases can then be merged into EDM to create one set of shared business objects, preventing future duplication of information.

Map - Migrate - Merge The migration of data from legacy Landmark Drilling and Well Services databases to the EDM database is critical to the integrity of the resultant EDM data set that is created from the migration process. DIMS, COMPASS, and WELLPLAN data is handled by the Data Migration Toolkit. StressCheck and CasingSeat data can be imported within those applications when running against the EDM database. The migration of legacy DIMS, COMPASS, and WELLPLAN data to the EDM database is a three-step process: •

Mapping of fields,

•

Migration of data, and

•

Merging of data.

Unit Systems OpenWells is shipped with two default unit systems: API (American Petroleum Institute) This unit system in based on the Imperial system of measurements (i.e., Feet (ft), Inches (in), Pounds (lb), Quart (qt), Gallon (gal) Fahrenheit (°F)). API - US Survey Feet (American Petroleum Institute) This unit system in based on the API system described above. It has the ability to display units in fractions. SI (International System of Units) This unit system is based on the Metric system of measurements, its units are identical in all languages (Meters (m), Centimeters (cm), Millimeters (mm), Kilograms (kg), Liters (L) Celsius (°C)). The Engineer’s Desktop also allows for the creation of a customized unit system based on either one of the above systems. For more information on Unit Systems, see “Unit System” on page 3-20.

SAM - Simultaneous Activity Monitor The 2003.5 release of the Engineer's Data Model supports full concurrency for multiple applications accessing the same data set through the Simultaneous Activity Monitor (SAM). The Simultaneous Activity Monitor consists of a Messaging Server. This service notifies a user of all data items currently open by other applications sharing the same database. SAM does not indicate what its own application is doing, it is merely a messenger service that monitors other applications which share an EDM database. For more information on SAM, see “SAM - Simultaneous Activity Monitor” on page 3-78.

Security in OpenWells Security in OpenWells is based on user authentication and validation, user/group management, and application security.The OpenWells System Administration course and manual covers all aspects of managing security in OpenWells. Data Locking can help secure data in your OpenWells database. For more information on Data Locking, see “Data Locking” on page 3-23.

Tight Groups Tight Groups are used to restrict access to the Site and Well levels of the Well Explorer hierarchy. Each Site and Well is associated to a particular Tight Group. Sites and Wells to which the User or their Group does not have Tight Group access are not displayed. This security measure effectively prevents the user from accessing this data. For a restricted Site, all Wells, Wellbores, Events, and Reports within that Site are hidden. For restricted Wells, all Wellbores, Events, and Reports are hidden. Tight Group creation and membership can be managed by your System Administrator using the EDM Administration Utility.

Getting Started In this chapter you will learn how to: • Log in to OpenWells. • Demonstrate the proper use of all data entry types.

OpenWells and the Database The common database schema allows for common data access. This means that one set of data can be accessed from several different applications. For example:

Grizzly Well

OpenWells and COMPASS application accessing the Grizzly Well from the EDM database The database also enables naturally integrated workflows. The directional well planning of a trajectory for a Well can take place in other applications (such as COMPASS) and then used in OpenWells to compare the Drilling progress against plan. Finally, the common database reduces duplication of data entered between applications. Some of the same data that is required for Well planning in COMPASS is also required in OpenWells. If the data, such as a survey, is entered in COMPASS and stored in the EDM database, it will not have to be re-entered in OpenWells.

Data Entry Types Simple Data Simple Data Fields or text fields are fields that require a keyboard entry that corresponds to the field title. Some Simple Data Fields will only accept specific data in specific formats (e.g. telephone numbers, time). This means that the field has been set to accept a certain type of value such as ten digits for a phone number. To navigate between simple data fields: • • •

Press Tab to move forward (to the right or down) from one field to the next. Use the mouse to position the cursor in the field and click the left mouse button once. Press Shift + Tab to move backward (to the left or up) one field.

Picklist Picklists are dropdown selection lists designed to simplify and expedite data entry and ensure data integrity and consistency by providing a selection of valid entries to complete a field. A picklist is accessed through a dropdown arrow (

).

Select the dropdown picklist to display a predefined list of valid values for the field. Alternatively, press the F4 keyboard shortcut to display the list. Picklist contents may be edited, using the Picklist Editor, by your System Administrator or users with a sufficient security level.

Validated and Optional Dropdown Picklists There are two types of picklists available in OpenWells. The validated picklist and the optional picklist.

Landmark


2-5


Validated Picklists A validated picklist will only allow the user to select a value from the picklist. If an item that is needed is not found in the picklist the System Administrator must be contacted to add it to the picklist.

Optional Picklists An optional picklist is one that will allow the user to enter a value into the field if they do not find the appropriate item in the picklist. There is no visual indicator to differentiate a validated picklist from an optional picklist though it becomes evident if a user tries to enter a value using their keyboard into a field with a validated picklist.

Spreadsheets and Tables Spreadsheets and Tables are an integral part of OpenWells. They are the ideal way to present a number of information types that OpenWells captures. A spreadsheet is a collection of individual data fields (cells) that are arranged in rows and columns. Spreadsheets allow the user to edit data within a cell and see the change immediately. Tables are similar to spreadsheets in their layout but unlike spreadsheets, tables are used to display information and their cells cannot be edited directly. The data found in a table comes from various locations in the application. Changing data in a table involves changing the source field for the data. An advantage of spreadsheets and tables is their ability to collect and display a large amount of data in a small space. Spreadsheets and some tables can be expanded both vertically and horizontally. When the size of a spreadsheet or table exceeds the size of its display area scroll bars will appear allowing the user to navigate through the entire spreadsheet.

A number of cells organized in rows and columns that will either accept the entry of data or display data entered in another area of the application.

Basic Table

The basic table is for display purposes only and can be found in the following areas of the OpenWells applications; Report List (in the main application window), Associated Data Viewer, and Wizards.

Multi-Level Spreadsheets and Tables

A spreadsheet within a spreadsheet/table; if an associated child row, or sub-spreadsheet is present an indicator ( ) appears in front of the parent (main) row.

Detail Spreadsheets and Tables

Detail spreadsheets and tables in OpenWells enable more efficient data viewing. The data within a row of the table is entered through fields appearing below the spreadsheet/table.

Spreadsheet and Table Data Entry Features

Column Headings Spreadsheets have column headings similar to tables. They hold a descriptive title to clarify the data currently displayed or the data to be entered in the column. Columns with a unit class, such as feet, assigned will display the unit label, ft, in parenthesis after the column name. Spreadsheet columns also allow for width manipulation, sorting, and rearrangement. •

Landmark

Widths can be manipulated to fit the widest text entry in any cell of the column. To change the column width move the cursor to the dividing line between the headers until a double headed arrow appears. Click and drag the column to the required width.


2-7


Note: OpenWells will remember any adjustments made to the width and position of the columns within a Spreadsheet. This only works for Spreadsheets on Data Entry Forms. The adjustments are saved to an XML file in the user’s settings folder. (x:\Documents and Settings\\ApplicationData\Landmark\OpenWells\ UserPreferences.xml). The adjustments are saved when the user leaves a form by closing the window, switching days, or switching report types - even if the user doesn’t save the form’s data by clicking Cancel in the ‘Do you want to save?’ dialog. These user adjustments are ignored if the administrator (using the EDM Administration Utility) changes the configuration of the section containing that spreadsheet.

•

Columns can be sorted by clicking on the Column Heading for the column you want to sort by. Click once to sort ascending and click again to sort descending. An arrow is displayed on the column header to indicate whether the column is sorted in ascending or descending order.

•

Column order can be changed using the drag and drop feature. Click on the column, holding the mouse button down and drag the column to the new location.

Date Selectors Cells in a spreadsheet that require a date contain a picklist icon. When this icon is selected the Date Selection dialog appears. Using the Date Selection dialog reduces errors that result from entering dates in the wrong format. To enter today's date in a field quickly, select the field and press F12. To enter the Report date, use the Shift + F12.

Date /Time Selectors Some Date Selection dialogs also include a field for time entry. A time can be manually entered in the field or the scroll buttons can be used to scroll to the correct time. The time format can be set using either a 24 hour clock or a 12 hour clock using the Windows Regional Settings on your computer.

Using Spreadsheets and Tables Spreadsheets contain interactive data fields, which means data can be entered and edited directly in the cells of the spreadsheet. There are three fundamental operations for OpenWells spreadsheets: add a row, insert a row, and delete a row. Tables do not have interactive data fields. This means that data appearing in a table originates from elsewhere in the application. Tables are used to display information in a read-only format. The data found in a table comes from various locations in the application. Changing data in a table involves changing the source field for the data. There are four fundamental operations for OpenWells tables: add a row, insert a row, delete a row, and populate a row. To enter new data in a spreadsheet/table a new row must be added to accept that data. Note: Columns cannot be added, inserted, or deleted in spreadsheets/tables. Your OpenWells System Administrator can configure OpenWells to only show certain columns. Users may adjust the look and feel of spreadsheets by changing column order and width. In OpenWells’ data entry forms these changes are remembered between sessions.

To enter data for a table row, select the row and start entering data into the corresponding fields below.

Date Entries Date entries in OpenWells can be entered using the date selection dropdown. This dialog is accessed through a dropdown arrow ( ), that looks similar to the arrow used to access picklists. Using the Date Selection dialog reduces errors that result from entering dates in the wrong format. For example, entering the date in dd/mm/ yyyy format instead of mm/dd/yyyy. All dates are entered in a short date format to ensure the date can be stored in any ODBC compliant database without modification. If a date is entered with the year in a two-character format (dd/mm/yy) an error is returned. By forcing the date to be entered in the short date format, OpenWells ensures that the correct date is sent to the database.

The order of MM, DD, YYYY is taken from the local PC's Regional Settings short date configuration to ensure that dates can be entered according to local convention. To change the date format, you must change it in the Windows Regional Settings. To enter today's date in a field quickly select the field and press F12. Note: When a date is entered manually through the keyboard, do not forget the leading zeros for days and months where appropriate (for example, enter 02/03/1997, not 2/ 3/1997).

Time Entries Time can be manually entered in the data entry field or the scroll buttons can be used to scroll to the correct time. The time format can be set using either a 24 hour clock or a 12 hour clock using the Windows Regional Settings on your computer. When using a time field, the time is laid out in hours and minutes: 00:00. Change the value in the hours position by clicking on the hours segment and scrolling up or down using the arrow buttons to the right of the field. The minutes and seconds (where available) can be changed in the same way. To insert the current time (based on the clock setting in your computer), press F12. Time fields within the Daily Operations report will only accept time ranges that fall within the current Reporting Standard.

Checkboxes Many Data Entry Forms and dialog boxes in OpenWells contain checkboxes. Checkbox fields have only two settings: they are either activated or deactivated. When the box beside the field title is empty the field is deactivated, and the function expressed in the field title is ignored. When the box is filled with a check mark (activated), the field is active and the function expressed in the field title is carried out.

Libraries A Library is a tool employed by OpenWells and WELLPLAN to store drillstrings or fluid descriptions for future use. Once a drillstring or fluid is stored in a library, it can be retrieved (imported) to quickly and easily create a new fluid or drillstring based on the retrieved string or fluid. For example, a drillstring library can be used to store commonly used assemblies. Once a drillstring is imported from a library, it can be edited to meet your current objectives. A library should not be confused with a catalog. A catalog contains a collection of similar drillstring components that can be used to build a drillstring. For example, there are jar catalogs, or drill pipe catalogs. A library is used to store the complete drillstring, not a certain type of drillstring component. You can use the fluid library to store commonly used fluids. Each fluid entry in the library includes all the data required to define that fluid, such as rheological model, weight, gel strength, etc. As with drillstring library entries, once the fluid has been imported from a library into the current case, it can be edited as desired. Using WELLPLAN Libraries can be shared with other users by exporting them at the database level to library transfer files (.LIB xml). Libraries are accessible in the Daily Operation Report; Drillstrings and Fluids Sections.

Read Only Some data fields in the Data Entry Forms may appear as 'greyed-out' fields. These fields have been populated by data in fields present in other parts of the form or in other parts of OpenWells, or the user does not have sufficient security to edit the field. By default read-only fields cannot be directly edited. If a read-only field needs to be edited, the entry must be changed in the source fields. OpenWells read-only fields are shipped with the application, and can also be configured by your System Administrator. An example of a read-only field shipped with OpenWells is the Total Daily Cost field in the General Section of the Cost Estimate and AFE report.

Memo Memo fields are large text fields that allow unlimited free-form text entry. Memo fields are unrestricted with respect to content but should be relevant for the Data Entry Form in which they are entered. Depending on how the System Administrator has customized your version of OpenWells, memo fields can also be unrestricted in space. This means that the user can enter as much information as necessary to describe a situation. When using memo fields it is important to remember that other users will access the information entered. Therefore it should be documented in a way that will be understandable to others. Avoid the use of uncommon abbreviations and acronyms where possible.

Carryover When creating a report for the first time, some data fields in the Data Entry Form may be populated automatically using default values or data from the previous report. This auto-populated data is called carryover data. Carryover fields are configured in OpenWells by the System Administrator using the EDM Administration Utility. Simple examples of carryover fields are DOL (Days on Location) and DFS (Days from Spud) fields in the Daily Operations report, which increase incrementally by one in the General section of the second or subsequent Daily Operations data entry form. Some data is carried over with no change (e.g., Supervisor Name). By default most carryover fields can be directly edited unless it has been configured as a read-only field by the System Administrator.

Spreadsheet Carry Down In some instances, data entry fields are automatically populated with information that carries down from a previous row in a spreadsheet. For example, in a spreadsheet containing From and To depths over time, the From value for a new row may default to the To value of the previous row.

Knowledge Management in OpenWells The Knowledge Management system in OpenWells is designed to facilitate data, information, and knowledge sharing within a corporation. EDM and OpenWells support Knowledge Management initiatives by enabling experienced field hands to document their experience and insights through a usable interface available to them at the well site. This enables Operators to easily capture valuable learnings from the field supervisor's and engineer's least accessible from the office. The following processes can be used to improve Well construction and analysis processes through improved utilization of previously recorded operations experience and learning. • • •

Lessons Learned Equipment Failure and Non-Productive Time (NPT) Technical Limit

Lessons Learned Lessons Learned is a component of the Knowledge Management system which allows a company to record operations experience and learnings. This information, in turn, can be used to improve Well designs and operations for future Wells. The EDM Lessons Learned system and information storage area may also be integrated by clients to liaise with other Knowledge Management systems within their IT infrastructure.

Lesson Property Page The lessons learned feature provides a number of benefits to the organization: •

•

Users in the field who have first hand knowledge and experience with both processes and equipment used on the Rig can document their expertise to the rest of the organization. The Lessons Learned data entry areas in OpenWells enable these users to easily enter this valuable information. Lessons Learned data entry areas provide fields to enter information for equipment, processes, methods, and vendors.

•

Lessons Learned information can be associated to activity code information. This information can then be used during the Well planning phase (using the Well Planning Report) for future Well designs to improve operations. • Permutations of lessons information can easily be configured for comparisons and reporting purposes. The most valuable lessons are created from (and subsequently linked to) the following: •

Report data entry window - Lessons can be associated to any Report type through the Report's data entry forms, • Equipment Failure/NPT events - Lessons can be added to Equipment Failures and NPT's (Non-Productive Time's) through the NPT/Equipment Failure Properties dialog (available in the Time Summary section of the Daily Operations Report or the Associated Data Viewer). Lessons can also be created using the New > Lesson command when the Well, Wellbore, Event, or Completion node is selected in the Well Explorer. Once created, a Lesson is available from the Associated Data Viewer (see “Associated Data Viewer” on page 3-77). Important! Lessons that are associated with a Report must be created within the Report's data entry form.

Equipment Failure and Non-Productive Time Equipment Failure and Non-Productive Time (NPT) are two components of the Knowledge Management system which allows a company to record operations experience and learnings. Non-Productive Time (NPT) is any deviation from the plan or unexpected occurrence caused by either equipment failure or an event such as stuck-pipe or waiting on weather. It is categorized as either lost time, which is avoidable, or down time, which is unavoidable. Event functionality provides a mechanism, within the execution phase, to describe in detail unplanned activities recorded within the operations time breakdown. Non-Productive events can span either a single activity or multiple activities. These events can span a single day or cross over to the next day. For each NPT event, information can be entered related to equipment failures, cost of the NPT, and descriptions regarding the

event and how it was closed-out. NPT is also known as trouble time, and commonly used as a measure of efficiency for operations. Equipment Failures and NPT, which delay Well Construction may be comprehensively documented and associated to Daily Operations activities. Tracking equipment failures and operation downtime improves planning for well operations. It also aids in the anticipation of equipment failures. Using this tracking method facilitates a more effective and proactive maintenance approach. All of these factors result in less downtime and greater operations efficiency through modification of operations with high equipment failure frequencies. Equipment Failures and Non-Productive Time events are tracked through the NPT/Equipment Failure Properties dialog ( see “Time Summary Section” on page 4-15.). These events are also listed in the Associated Data Viewer (see “Associated Data Viewer” on page 3-77) whenever the associated Event is selected in the Well Explorer. Failures are listed by Equipment System (Date of Failure) and Subsystem. This unplanned event system enables Daily Operations activities to be associated to equipment failures and downtime in operations through the Time Summary section. Within the dialog the engineer is able to fully define particular activities as Equipment Failure, Equipment Failure with NPT, or NPT (No Failure). The unplanned event can then be further defined by equipment system, subsystem location, costs incurred, and downtime.

Technical Limit Technical Limit is a component of the OpenWells Knowledge Management system which allows a company to use existing Well data, Lessons Learned, Equipment Failure and Non-Productive Time information to generate a "Best Case Scenario" plan. The goal of this plan is to reduce well construction and maintenance costs without compromising safety, the environment, and the well objectives. Technical Limit is defined as the perfect performance to achieve an objective limited only by currently available technology and personnel. The Technical Limit is determined for the well design based on the operations program. This operations program is generated from the engineering requirements for the well and capabilities of a specific rig type and crew. The resultant Technical Limit derived drilling and/or

well services program is an aggressive operations schedule which maximizes the value of the project and meets the agreed objectives. The Drill Well On Paper (DWOP) prior to spud is part of the well planning process that is typically part of an operator's Technical Limit process. It is a key milestone of the Technical Limit planning process. The key objective is to achieve optimum execution of the well program by defining an optimum planned operations duration for each activity. This involves cooperation of the rig crew and service company personnel. Setting target times creates a ‘base line’ against which actual execution performance can be measured. Therefore, the target times (Technical Limit) created are based around execution of the well program with the actual rig and equipment available. TL Time = Best time in a Perfect World (TL time) + Local Conditions (Rig Type, Rig Equipment, locally available materials, etc.) This ‘base line’ plan is then agreed as Target times for the well program in anticipation that value erosion will occur during well construction. Performance is then measured against this base line plan during execution of the well design. Technical Limit is implemented in OpenWells through the following areas: •

Well Explorer The primary navigation and data management interface common to all EDM applications. This pane is consistent with the Engineers Desktop and provides file Attachment support for all displayed nodes. A node is a data item stored it the database that falls within the EDM hierarchy. The Well Explorer forms the foundation for OpenWells and is used in all of the EDM applications. It has been designed to provide intuitive, consistent navigation, and data management throughout the EDM data hierarchy. Use the Well Explorer to browse the database, open, copy, delete, rename, and manage the main data items; including Companies, Projects, Sites, Wells, Wellbores, Events, Rigs, Rig Operations, and Rig Equipment. The Well Explorer is located by default on the left hand side of the OpenWells window and operates in the same way as Microsoft Windows Explorer. It is organized as a hierarchical data tree which can be used to browse the EDM database.

General Functions in the Well Explorer

Drag and Drop “ Drag and Drop” in the Well Explorer functions somewhat like the Microsoft Windows Explorer. You can use drag and drop to copy a Well, Wellbore, Event, or Report.

applicable to any other EDM applications using the database and accessing that data. Data locking is performed from within Properties dialog boxes. Locking data in the database can provide another level of security outside of the user and group security management through the creation of tight groups (see “Tight Groups” on page 1-9).

How Data Locking Works There are a number of ways that Data Locking can be implemented. The Company properties (see “Company” on page 3-29) can be locked allowing users to have edit access to all nodes below the Company level without allowing edit access to the Company node. All nodes below the Company level (Project, Site, Well, Wellbore, etc.) can also be locked separately allowing read-only access to the data contained within the locked nodes. Reports can be locked (either in the Reports List of the OpenWells main window or from within the report itself using the File > Properties menu path) allowing read-only access to the Report contents. To lock data, passwords must be set in the Company Properties dialog box to prevent unlocking. If a password is not set, data objects can be unlocked by any user wanting to change data in a locked node. By default, no passwords are set, and the Locked checkboxes on all Properties dialogs are available to all users. The Locked checkbox can be activated or deactivated at will with no security to prevent users from modifying the data. If an item is locked, a small lock ( ) appears in the corner of its icon in the Well Explorer. Locked reports are highlighted in the reports list with a lock icon shown on the report ( ).

The Company Properties dialog contains two buttons: Company Level and Locked Data, and a Locked checkbox.

Company Properties dialog box These are used to lock data at the Company level and to set a Locked Data password for the Company and for the child data sets owned by the Company within the hierarchy. Note: All levels are locked individually - this means that locks do not cascade. Therefore, a Well can be locked but this does not lock all of the data below the Well in the hierarchy.

If passwords are not set for data then it is available to all users to make changes. The Company/Contractor Level button and the Locked Data button work independently of each other for the purposes of data locking. The Company Level and the Contractor Level buttons (in the Company Properties and Contractor Properties dialog boxes) are used to set a password to protect the data at those levels only. It does not impact the accessibility of any data below the Company or Contractor in the hierarchy.

The Geodetic System is the general mapping system. Before computing grid convergence or performing geodetic conversions (latitude & longitude converted to easting & northing and vice versa) the correct Geodetic System must be selected from the picklist. The Geodetic Datum is the common reference and shape for the surface of the earth in an area of interest. This value is associated with an ellipsoid that defines the mathematical parameters used when performing geodetic conversions. If you do not know the geodetic system, select Flat Earth. The Geodetic Zone is one segment of a Geodetic System. Each Geodetic System must have at least one zone. The selection of a Geodetic System defines the values available in the Geodetic Datum and Geodetic Zone picklists.

The Local Co-ordinate System defines the origin of the grid used for local co-ordinates within the Project. The local co-ordinate origin is the zero point for north and east coordinates. The following three options are available for selection when defining the local co-ordinate for the Project: Well Centre - Selecting this option defines the Well as the zero point for local north and east coordinates. The Well Center Location is defined in the Location Tab of the Well Properties dialog.

Site Center - Selecting this option defines the Site as the zero point for local north and east coordinates. The Site Centre Location is defined in the Location Tab of the Site Properties dialog. Project Center based on Site - Selecting this option defines a single point within (or without) the Project as a common local coordinate reference for all wells. A picklist is available to select the Site (within the current Project); this Site is designated as the Project Centre. The coordinates of all sites within the Project will be relative to the defined Project Centre. Note: Because each site has a different convergence angle, if you choose a Project Centred co-ordinate system, local north must be based on the map grid. Wellbore Trajectory positions information (e.g., MD, TVD, N’S, E/W) for Surveys is referenced to one of the above Local Coordinate Systems.

Use Scale Factor - When converting from distances on a map to distances measured on the ground there is a small difference caused by the curvature in the earth. A map system is designed to minimize this distortion. When the Use Scale Factor checkbox is activated local coordinates are true distances and a scale factor is applied. When this checkbox is deactivated land distance may be converted directly to map distances (provided meters to feet and true north convergence rotations are calculated). With this option, a scale factor is applied.

Well The Well is the data level directly beneath the Site level and each Well within a Site must have a unique name. A Well is a surface location on which a Rig or Work Unit conducts operations down the Well. A Well can have one or more Wellbores associated with it. For example, there may be the original Wellbore with one or more Sidetracks tied on to it at different kick-off depths. Multi-lateral Wells may have Wellbores tied to other Wellbores which are tied to subsequent Wellbores.

Enter the Wellhead Depth. This is the height above system datum of the wellhead flange (surface casing). In some cases, the Wellhead Depth may be less than the Ground Elevation because the Wellhead 'cellar' is often below ground level. Offshore Well Activate the Offshore checkbox. Enter the Water Depth. This is the total depth of the column of water (MSL to mudline); it is referenced to Mean Sea Level (MSL to mudline). Enter the Wellhead Elevation. This is the height above system datum (MSL/LAT) of the wellhead flange (surface casing). Offshore Subsea Well Activate the Offshore checkbox. Activate the Subsea checkbox. Enter the Water Depth. This is the total depth of the column of water (MSL to mudline); it is referenced to Mean Sea Level (MSL to mudline). Enter the Wellhead Depth. This is the distance from the system datum to the wellhead, and is used in some calculations where this is the hanging depth for casing when set. To determine wellhead depth: Wellhead Depth (from rig floor) = Depth Reference Datum Elevation + Wellhead Depth (below MSL) Wellhead Depth (set in the General tab of the Well Properties dialog) is positive for offshore subsea and negative for wellheads above MSL (i.e., onshore or offshore platform). Therefore, the calculation above can handle either offshore or subsea wells. The Reference Datum Level is always positive for drilling rig datums. Both wellhead depth and wellhead elevation are distances from the system datum to the casing flange.

Location Tab The Wellhead Location defines the Wellhead centre location. This location is defined in terms of map coordinates referenced to the Map Zone, Geographic Latitude/Longitude, and Local Site coordinates (N/S, E/W) from the Site Centre Location. A Slot may be selected from the Site templates. In the Location tab one of two methods may be used for defining a wellhead location relative to the Site. Local Select the Slot option to define the wellhead location using a predefined template. Use the Name dropdown picklist to select a predefined template. The Slot coordinates are then used as local coordinates from Site centre. Select the Offset from Site option to define the wellhead local coordinates referenced from Site center to the wellhead location. Enter the distance North from the site center. Enter the distance East from the site center. Map - The wellhead position may be defined in map co-ordinates. Enter the Northing and Easting coordinates of the wellhead and the local coordinates will be calculated from the site center. The well location is stored relative to the site, so if the site moves, the well will move too. Geographic – Check this option and enter Latitude and Longitude coordinates to indicate the location of the wellhead. A position error may be associated with the Well location. This error is added to all errors generated on Wellbores in this Well. The Well error is designed for special cases. For example, when there are a number of Wellheads in close proximity to each other (grouped in the same Site) but not connected by a template. The well error in this case is the error in measurement of one Well relative to the others, but not the error in the group’s location, which is the Site position error. It is recommended that Well error be left as zero for template Wells. Note: EDM now uses the ISCWA survey error framework for calculating all survey errors and requires that all instrument and location error input is to 1 sigma confidence. This means that the Site and Well location errors are now 0.5 the value entered in previous versions of COMPASS where the Company error model was Systematic or Cone of Error.

Event An Event is a time slice or period marking a phase of major operations occurring at a Well. An Event is the data level directly beneath the Well level in the Well Explorer hierarchy. Each Event within a Well is defined by an Event Code (Reactivate, Repair, Workover, etc.) and an Objective (Completion, Development, Wildcat, etc.). The date that follows an Event 'name' in the Well Explorer helps to further define the Event. A new Event must be created when the focus of work activity on the Well changes. Every Well contains multiple Events. Each Event represents a particular job performed on the Well. Concurrent Events or overlapping Events cannot be entered in OpenWells. A Well can have as many Events as required. The data storage structure of EDM allows each Event to contain as many Reports (e.g., Daily Operations, Casing, Cementing, etc.) as required.

Event Properties The Event Properties dialog is used to specify a block of time during which major phases of operations occur in the Well. Events do not overlap, when one Event ends the next Event may begin. The Event is below the Well level in the hierarchy and parallel to Wellbore. Periods of time when the Well is in production do not normally have Events defined though these can be entered for completeness. Events typically

Description

A blue SAM icon indicates that one or more users on the current PC have this item open but the current user still has full read-write access. A user must be careful when making changes to the data as this method enables data to automatically flow between applications. Intentional updates to other live applications should be anticipated before saving changes. The first user to open a data item becomes the data item's owner. They will 'own' the data until they have completed any changes, saved the data item, and closed it. When another user opens the data item through an EDM application they can see that the data item is currently being accessed by the first user, the owner. This other user can access the data item but will be unable to save any changes until the owner has closed it. To view a list of users, applications, and machines that have the data item open, hover the mouse over the SAM icon on the item and a data listing tooltip will appear. In COMPASS, WELLPLAN, CasingSeat and StressCheck, SAM appears over any open Designs to signify that the Design is open by other users.

The change notification dialog is then offered to the user to reload or ignore the data owner's changes or cancel the dialog box. The dialog that appears displays the user name for the owner as well as the application in which the changes were made. This enables the user to identify the source of the change that has been posted.

Reload The Reload option results in the owner's changes being uploaded into the current application.

Ignore The Ignore option gives the user the ability to ignore the owner's changes and continue working with their current data item. The user may choose to ignore the updates if they own the data item in another application. In this instance they may choose to save later and overwrite changed data in the other application as a result.

Depth Reference Datum Definition of Terms A datum is a value that is agreed upon and known. Datums are used as a basis for calculating or measuring depth. An example of a datum is the elevation of a benchmark, or sea level, to which other measurements are corrected. Depth Reference Datums can be found in two places in the OpenWells application; Project Properties (see page 3-34) and Well Properties (see page 3-42).

In Project Properties

System Datum The System Datum is set in the Project Properties/General dialog, and represents zero depth reference elevation across the Project. It is the depth reference datum from which all other well depth reference elevation levels are measured. Additionally, All well depths are stored in the database relative to this datum level. Depths are not stored relative to the user's viewing datum. Usually the System Datum is Mean Sea Level, Mean Ground Level, or Lowest Astronomical Tide, but it can also be the wellhead, rigfloor, RKB, etc. A positive reference level represents a height above the system datum, a negative elevation level represents a position below the system datum.

Elevation The Elevation is set in the Project Properties/General dialog, and represents the elevation of the system datum above Mean Sea Level. (If

Landmark


3-81


Mean Sea Level is selected as the System Datum, the Elevation field is grayed out.)

In Well Properties

Depth Reference Datum(s) The Depth Reference Datum is the reference elevation for depths displayed or entered in EDM applications. It is sometimes known as the local datum, and is measured as an elevation relative to the System Datum. You can define one or more Depth Reference Datums for a well in the Depth Reference Tab (see page 3-43) of the Well Properties Dialog. For each Depth Reference Datum the elevation above or below the System Datum must be specified. A positive reference level represents a height above the system datum, a negative elevation level represents a position below the system datum. The default Depth Reference datum selected in the list will be the viewing datum in all applications, the viewing datum can be changed ‘on the fly’ in OpenWells. Offshore: Activate the checkbox to indicate that this is an offshore well; leave unchecked to indicate a land well. Subsea: (offshore well) Activate the checkbox to indicate that this offshore well is subsea. Ground Elevation: (land well) This is the elevation of the ground above the System Datum; it is set in the Depth Reference Tab in the Well Properties Dialog. Water Depth: (offshore well) This is the total depth of the column of water (MSL to mudline); it is referenced to Mean Sea Level. Wellhead Depth: (subsea well) This is the distance from the wellhead to the system datum, and is used in some calculations where this is the hanging depth for casing when set. To determine wellhead depth: Wellhead Depth (from rig floor) = Depth Reference Datum Elevation + Wellhead Depth Wellhead Depth (set in the General tab of the Well Properties dialog) is positive for offshore subsea and negative for wellheads above MSL (i.e., onshore or offshore platform). So, it does not matter in the above

3-82


Landmark


calculation whether it is offshore or subsea. Depth Reference Datum is always positive. Both wellhead depth and wellhead elevation are distances from the system datum to the flange. Wellhead Elevation: (platform and land wells) This is the height above system datum (MSL/LAT) of the wellhead flange (surface casing). It may happen that for some land wells using ground level as the system datum that the user may have to enter a negative value because the wellhead 'cellar' is often below the ground. Air Gap (calculated) This is the distance from the system datum to the rig floor, and is used in some calculations for hydrostatic head. Air Gap is always positive. To calculate air gap, the application uses: Air Gap (offshore wells) = Depth Reference Datum – Elevation Air Gap (land wells) = Depth Reference Datum – Ground Level Elevation is set in the Project Properties/General dialog. Ground Elevation is set in the Well Properties/ Depth Reference dialog.

Procedure: Configuring Reference Datum Levels For Your Design In the Project Properties dialog, General tab the System Datum to be used for the entire Project can be defined. See “General Tab” on page 3-34. In the Project Properties dialog, General tab the Elevation field is used to enter the depth offset that the System Datum is above/below Mean Sea Level. If your System Datum is below Mean Sea Level, this number will be negative; otherwise enter a positive value. If the System Datum is Mean Sea Level, Elevation is grayed-out. This system datum offset is used by some of the engineering applications to calculate true air gap relative to actual mean sea level.

Calculate Current Field Stored calculated fields in the database can sometimes become inaccurate. This happens when a dependent field found in another report (e.g., the previous days report or a different report type) used in the calculation is changed. Some calculated fields in OpenWells are 'stored' calculated fields, meaning the calculation result is stored in the database. When a Data Entry Form is opened the 'stored' calculation is extracted from the database. If a dependent field of the calculation, located in the data entry form from another report is changed, the 'stored' calculation is not updated in the database and therefore can become incorrect. To verify that a 'stored' calculated field is correct, select the field and follow the menu path: Configure > Calculate Current Field

The field is recalculated and the result is 'stored' in the database.

Well Planning Report The Well Planning report is used to record operations milestones and engineering decisions to enable planned versus actual comparisons. This report also records the plan design decisions that may be generated into an Output Report. The Well Planning report supports the entry of a fully comprehensive Well Plan and integrates with other Engineer's Desktop Well Planning applications result data sets (e.g., COMPASS, StressCheck, WELLPLAN). Integration Note: Well Planning reports are associated with a Design. This allows for natural integration with data created and calculated by Landmark's other well planning applications: COMPASS, CasingSeat, StressCheck, and WELLPLAN.

When creating a Well Planning report the following standards apply: • •

• • • • •

Multiple Well Planning reports are supported within a wellbore. The Well Planning report that is associated with the Planned Design is used for general Planned vs. Actual comparisons (e.g. OpenWells output reports). 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. A Well Planning report can be associated to an Actual Design if required. If a Design is locked, associated Well Planning data entry forms will be read-only, except for those which are only exposed in OpenWells.

Completing the Well Planning Report Only the most commonly used sections of the Well Planning Report are covered in this training manual. For more information on specific sections in the Well Planning Report please refer to the online help.

4-4


Landmark


General Section The General section records the Well Planning team's summary information about the Well Design. This section is divided into the following areas: General, Environmental Considerations, BOP Equipment, Logistics, and Location Map. The Design field is a read-only field, which displays the name of the Design associated with the Well Planning Report. The Design is selected and/or created during the Report creation. The AFE Number picklist contains the number's of each Cost Estimate and AFE report created in the same Event. Selecting the AFE will populate the AFE Total field with the total costs for all rows in the AFE Cost Estimates Spreadsheet. The Objective field is populated by the Event Properties dialog. This field is greyed-out in the report and can only be changed from the Event Properties dialog. Use the Environmental Considerations area to record wind and sea variables if an offshore Well is being planned or weather conditions on land including inability to drill in certain seasons. Use the attachment button located at the bottom of the General section to attach location map documents. For information on attachments, see “Attachments in OpenWells” on page 3-94.

Planned Operations Section The Planned Operations section enables the Well Planner to record the planned sequence of operations for a Well, based on existing data from similar Wells. Operations may be defined for Phase or Operation (Code) levels.

Critical Path Totals Area The Critical Path Totals summary area displays the sum of all corresponding fields in spreadsheet rows flagged as critical paths dependent (CPD). All fields in this area are calculated fields and cannot be edited. The calculations for these fields are outlined below. The following total fields appear in this area: •

Landmark

Target Duration - Sum of the agreed target time for the activity from the DWOP process.


4-5


•

Technical Limit Duration - Best performing phase/well for all planned phases. The field is calculated by dividing the "Best Case Scenario" Offset Well's, Hole Section Length by the Technical Limit ROP for each equivalent Planned Operation. This calculation does not occur until data is entered into the MD From and MD To fields for the Planned Operation. Average Offset Well Duration - Total average performance time for each operation determined from selected offset wells. This field is calculated by dividing the "Best Case Scenario" Offset Well's, Hole Section Length by the Avg Offset ROP for each equivalent Planned Operation. This calculation does not occur until data is entered into the MD From and MD To fields for the Planned Operation. Note: The Technical Limit Duration and Average Offset Duration calculations can be performed using the Calculate ROP/Duration From Offsets button.

The Planned Operations spreadsheet is used to enter the planned operations for the Well. Each step of the Well operation may be documented. These steps can be directly associated to actual operations in the Daily Operations data entry form. When a phase is entered in the spreadsheet OpenWells uses the entered information to calculate the "Best Case Scenario" from the Offset Wells section and displays these details in the Technical Limit Analysis area (described below). Technical limit calculations are performed at the Phase level only. For more information see “Technical Limit” on page 2-23. The Critical Path Dependency (CPD) checkbox is an indicator used to flag activities required to complete the well operation. Offline activities may also be documented in the plan, which may be performed off-line or concurrent to the critical path operation. By default this checkbox is activated. If the operations step entered in the row is part of the critical path activate the CPD checkbox. Once activated the values for Target Duration, Technical Limit Duration, and Avg Offset Well Duration are added to the corresponding Critical Path Totals fields located in the Critical Path Totals area above the spreadsheet. The Step number column records the planned operations sequence number, which may be indexed to each actual activity. Enter the start and end measured depth in the MD From and MD To fields for the planned operation.

4-6


Landmark


Enter the planned operation start date and time in the Activity Start Date/Time field. Use the Cost Class, Cost Code, and Cost Subcode fields in the details area below the Planned Operations spreadsheet to record the associated planned operations to particular cost codes.

Hole Plan Section The Hole Plan section is used to record 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 graphs. The Totals area displays the sum of all corresponding fields in the details area for the Hole Plan spreadsheet below. All fields in this area are calculated fields and cannot be edited. The Generate from Planned Operations button automatically populates the Hole Plan with data entered in the Planned Operations section based on unique activity Phases.

Casing Program Section The Casing Program section is used to record the planned sequence of Casings or Liners run in the hole. If the associated Design has been created and populated by CasingSeat or StressCheck, data entered in these applications will appear in the Casing Program section. Note: This section is read-only when the associated Design is locked or open in another application.

The Components spreadsheet makes use of a detail spreadsheet below it to record components which make up the casing or liner assembly in the order in which it would be run in the hole. The Select from Catalog button appears in the Component area. This button can be used to select casing or tubing components from an available catalog. For information on using a catalog, see “Catalogs” on page 2-15.

A Locked checkbox appears at the bottom of the Casing Program section, below the tabs. This checkbox indicates whether the associated Design has been locked. If the checkbox is activated the Design is locked and all information in the section is grayed-out. A Design can be locked or unlocked through the Design Properties dialog. This dialog can be accessed through the Engineer' Desktop applications such as, COMPASS, CasingSeat, and StressCheck.

Cement Program Section The Cement Program section is used to record the cementing requirements for each casing or liner cemented in the hole. The Casing Name picklist is populated by casings that have been entered in the Casing Program section of the Well Planning Report. The Case Name picklist contains a list of Cases (within the same Wellbore) which have been created in other ENgineer’s Desktop applications (e.g., WELLPLAN). If there are no Cases created for the Well the picklist will be set to None.

Cost Estimate and AFE Report The Cost Estimate and AFE (Authorization for Expenditure) report is used to store the estimated costs of a Well prior to the start of operations. This report is typically completed in the office by a Well Planning team, rather than in the field. Note: A Cost Est & AFE report must be created before information can be entered in the Costs section of the Daily Operations data entry form.

An AFE is normally associated to an Event within each Well. OpenWells supports association of an AFE to multiple Events that may occur on different Wells.

Completing the Cost Est & AFE Report Well/Event List Section The Well/Event List section of the Cost Estimate and AFE Report displays a table listing all Wells and Events associated with the AFE along with the Event Date. Associations are configured using the File > Associate > AFE command (see “AFE” on page 3-4).

General Section The most important element in the General section of the Cost Estimate and AFE Report data entry form is the field used to enter an AFE Number. An AFE Number is used to track planned vs. actual costs. The information collected in the Cost Estimate and AFE Report is used to compare cost estimates with actual cost, and can be viewed in the Cost

Depending on the configuration of the Data Entry Form an AFE Activities area may appear in the General section. AFE Activities can be recorded in either a Cost Estimates spreadsheet or the AFE Activities area. Enter all other necessary information.

Cost Estimates Spreadsheet The Cost Estimates spreadsheet is used to report estimated costs entered for specific cost code categories. These codes will have been configured for your company. The AFE Activities fields found in the spreadsheet are used by clients who want to record specific cost categories to specific class codes. To begin recording data in the spreadsheet, click the add row button and select a Class from the dropdown picklist. The following cells in the row are populated depending on the configuration of the picklist; Class, Code, Subcode, and Description. The Quantity and Item Cost columns are used to calculate the total cost for each row in the spreadsheet and the sum appears in the Cost Est Base Curr column. The total costs for all rows in the spreadsheet are calculated and displayed in the Cumulative Cost field located at the bottom of the spreadsheet. Enter all other available information in the spreadsheet. The Cost Estimate spreadsheet allows for associated documents for each cost item to be attached to a row in the spreadsheet. For information on using this feature see “Attachments in OpenWells” on page 3-94.

Daily Operations Report The Daily Operations report contains information on the entire Drilling or Well Services process. It is the most extensive report in OpenWells. Data Entry Form layouts for the Daily Operations report will very likely be customized significantly for different operations types and user groups within your company.

Completing the Daily Operations Report Not all sections included in the Daily Operation report are covered in this training manual. If you have questions about sections not included, refer to the On-line Help available in the OpenWells application. The sections in this training manual may appear in a different order than those in your application. The order used below is based on completing the most critical sections of the Daily Operations report.

General Section The General section of the Daily Operation report is a management summary of the drilling operation. The Supervisor, Engineer, Geologist, and Supervisor Other (if present) fields are typically carry-over fields. By default the information entered in these fields is carried over to the next Daily Operations report. Edit these fields as necessary. Enter the DOL (Days On Location), this is the number of days since the arrival of the Rig on site. Enter the DFS (Days From Spud) this is the number of days from spud for drilling operations. The DFS field can contain a negative number. The days recorded in these fields can be different if the Rig is moved on location before the Well is spudded. By default when a second Daily Operations report is created the DOL and DFS fields automatically increase by one day. This carry over behaviour can be changed by the EDM/OpenWells System Administrator. The following fields involve calculations performed by OpenWells: •

4-12

The Daily Cost field is the sum of the Amount fields in the Daily Cost section spreadsheet.


Landmark


•

The Daily Mud Cost field is the sum of the Day Cost field in the Mud Inventory section’s multi-level spreadsheet

•

The Cumulative Total field is the sum of the Daily Cost fields for all previous Daily Operations Reports.

•

The Cum Mud Cost field is the sum of the Daily Mud Cost fields for all previous Daily Operations reports.

•

The TVD (True Vertical Depth) field is calculated by OpenWells using the MD for the report and entered survey data.

•

The Progress field details the amount of new hole that has been drilled in the last report period. It is calculated by subtracting the MD for the previous report from the MD for today. Once the Daily Operations report is created this field is calculated and cannot be edited. A value must be entered in this field in the first Daily Operations report. (E.g., The Well is drilled down to 100 ft. and this value is recorded as the MD on the first Daily Operations report. On the second day, the Well is drilled down to 300 ft. and this value is recorded as the MD on the second Daily Operations report. OpenWells calculates a Progress of 200 ft. and displays this figure on the second Daily Operations report.)

•

The Avg ROP (Average Rate of Penetration) field is calculated using the Progress field and dividing it by the Rotating Hours field.

•

The Hole Size field is determined by the OpenWells section diameter for the unit hole section.

Last Est, Est Date, Auth Cost, and Auth Date are read-only fields. The data contained within these fields is based on data entered in the General tab of the Event Properties (see “Event Properties” on page 3-60) dialog. Use the dropdown picklist to select the Lithology and Formation. The Lithology picklist is based on entries in the Lithologies tab of the Database Properties (see “Database Properties” on page 3-27) dialog. The Formation picklist is populated based on entries in the Strat Units tab of the Project Properties (see “Project Properties” on page 3-34) dialog and filtered based on the current Wellbore.

Daily Cost Section Daily Cost data is entered in the Daily Cost section.

Use the (sum total) button to calculate and view the cumulative cost for a particular cost item. Select a Daily Cost row and press the Sum Total button to calculate cumulative costs up to the current date for that row’s cost code configuration. Note: A Cost Estimate & AFE report must be created or associated within the Event before information can be entered in the Costs section of the Daily Operations report data entry form.

File Attachments The Costs spreadsheet allows for one or more associated documents to be attached to a row in the spreadsheet (see “Attachments in OpenWells” on page 3-94). To attach a file a row in the Daily Cost spreadsheet, click the cell in the (Attachment) row and select New.... The Attachment Properties dialog appears that allows the user to attach a document to the cost item. Rows that have associated documents attached display the paper clip icon in the spreadsheet column.

AFE and the Daily Cost Section Once the Cost Estimate and AFE report has been created, the AFE Number field in the Daily Cost spreadsheet is automatically populated with the appropriate number. If more than one AFE number exists for the Daily Operations report created, the dropdown picklist is available to select the appropriate AFE. The AFE Number field is a required field for the Daily Operations report. If a supplemental AFE number is available for the project, use the dropdown picklist to select an entry for the Supp AFE field.

Landmark


Carryover Costs Activate the C/O checkbox if the costs are to be carried over to the next Daily Operations report. Note: Typically, a number of costs carry-over from day to day, such as rig costs, service company costs, and rental costs. The Carry-Over column in this spreadsheet saves time for the user by automatically carrying over this information day to day when the carry-over (C/O) checkbox is activated. The carry-over feature appears in every row added to the Costs spreadsheet. This allows you to carry-over only the costs selected. OpenWells carries over not just the costs, but the cost codes as well. This means that the carry-over costs can be edited and the codes will not have to be re-entered.

Time Summary Section The Time Summary section of the Daily Operations report is used to capture times, operations codes, and daily operational details for the Report interval. The 24 Hour Summary Comments field is a Memo field used to enter summary information. The Activity Details section contains a spreadsheet.

Hole Sections Section The Hole Sections information section is used to record inner wellbore geometry and leak off test (LOT) of a well. It allows daily updates to the Hole Section information from the top measured depth to the total depth (TD) of each hole section component. (e.g., Casing, Liner, Riser, Open Hole). A hole section is defined by summary parameters such as; name, depth, date range, and a corresponding hole section geometry. The detailed length and inside diameter (ID) of each section is entered as part of the hole section geometry. Defining a hole section allows annular fluid volumes to be automatically calculated by OpenWells for the string currently in the hole. A hole section is generally created for each hole size drilled during well construction. Where performed, LOT or FIT data may be defined for each hole section. Next Casing information may also be recorded for each hole section. Note: A new hole section cannot be created if the End Date and/or the MD Base have not been entered for the previous hole section. A new hole section must have a Start Date equal to or later than the previous hole sections End Date.

Each hole section created will appear in the spreadsheet on the days following the section start date. This results in each Daily Operations report displaying all hole sections created up to the date of the report. For cased-hole sections, use the Select Casing From Casing Reports button to select a casing assembly that has been entered in a Casing report on or before the date of the current report. A dialog box appears displaying all Casing reports. Select an assembly and click OK, to

Survey Section The Survey section is used to record wellbore trajectory measurements (surveys) that assists engineers in determining the position and direction of the wellbore. It is important to record the position of the wellbore as this allows engineers or geoscientists to track drilling progress against the planned trajectory. Additionally, survey data enables anti-collision analysis to be performed especially when drilling in close proximity to other wellbores or drilling a relief well. The Survey section contains two spreadsheets, a properties page, and a survey stations history dialog window, which also contains a spreadsheet. Initially, only the Survey Headers spreadsheet can be seen. Once a row has been added to this spreadsheet the Today's Survey Stations spreadsheet appears below.

Survey Headers Area A Survey Header is created for each survey tool run. All survey stations are recorded for their particular survey header referenced against a particular date. The Survey Header spreadsheet displays all survey headers defined for the wellbore on or before the current report date. EDM Integration Note: Survey Header information is shared with the COMPASS™ application using the same database. Survey Headers created in COMPASS are available in OpenWells. Surveys locked in COMPASS are also locked in OpenWells.

Since a survey header represents a start of the first or a new series of surveys stations recorded on the wellbore, a new header occurs when there is a change in the survey tool, method, or tie-on.

Survey Properties The Survey Properties dialog box is used to define a survey header, select the survey tool to be used, and survey tie-on point. This information establishes the permanent reference for the survey. Once this information is entered it is rarely changed.

Select the Survey Tool from the dropdown that is located in the Instrument Selection area. This is the tool that will be used to survey this section of the wellbore. Integration Note: The survey tool used here is very important if OpenWells survey data is shared with COMPASS™, where the survey tool error model is used to calculate positional certainty. The specified tool is used in all anti-collision calculations. Therefore, proper selection and definition of each tool’s errors and tolerances is critical to proper compilation of positional uncertainty in COMPASS.

Select an option to define the Tie-on Point for the survey. The following three options are available:

User Defined This option allows the user to customize the tie-on point location, which is used as a baseline for survey station calculations. In this case the user would manually enter the Measured Depth, Inclination, Azimuth, True Vertical Depth, Northing, and Easting.

From Wellhead This options allows the user to define the tie-on point as from the wellhead. The initial Measured Depth, True Vertical Depth, Northing, and Easting would equal zero. The user must enter the Inclination and Azimuth of the Wellbore; zero for vertical Wells; nonzero for slant Wells.

From Survey This option allows the user to select a survey header previously used on the wellbore. The tie-on point would be the last survey station of the selected survey. Note: There are two situations in which a survey tie-on would be entered; to initialize the origin of the Well survey (for the first survey of the Well), or to establish a new starting point for a survey tool (for all subsequent surveys).

Start Volume

For the first Daily Operations report generated this value will always be 0. For any subsequent days the value in the previous day's End Volume field will become the value in the Start Volume field of the current report.

Surface Total

The value in this field is the sum of all the data entered in fields within the Surface Losses area of this tab.

Subsurface Total

This field is the sum of all the downhole losses entered in fields within the Downhole area of this tab.

Cumulative Fields

The Surface and Downhole areas both contain cumulative values for each field. On the first Daily Operation report the cumulative value would be the same as the entered value for the field. On subsequent days the value would be carried over to the next day's report and added to the new value entered on that day's report. For example, on the first Daily Operation Report the initial value in the Evaporation Cumulative field would always be 0. Entering 2 in the Evaporation Daily field will change the value of the Evaporation Cumulative field to 2. When the report for the next day is generated the Evaporation Cumulative value will be 2.

Pipe Tally Report OpenWells provides two types of Pipe Tally reports: Off-Load Tally and Run Tally. These Pipe Tally reports can be used for recording casing and tubing information as the equipment arrives at the Wellsite or is run into the hole.

To Create an Off-Load Tally The Off-Load Pipe Tally is used to record and document measurements of pipe joints being unloaded from a transport vehicle or vessel. This enables the wellsite engineer to confirm the total length of joints received which are then available for the Casing/Liner Run or Tubing Run. Entering data initially in the Off-Load Pipe Tally has real value when creating running tallies and Casing or Wellbore Equipment reports. The Off-Load Pipe Tally data can be re-used in the Run Pipe Tally so component details do not have to be re-entered. Once casing or tubing data is entered into a Pipe Tally report it is then available to be copied directly into the Casing or Wellbore Equipment reports. A new Pipe Tally report is created using the Create New Report Wizard (see “OpenWells Report Wizard” on page 4-2). When the Wizard appears, select Pipe Tally from the Select Report Type section (see “The Create Report Wizard in OpenWells” on page 4-2, Figure 4.1).

This Report can act as a checklist for the casing-hand or well engineer supervising the Casing/Tubing run. If a Run Pipe Tally report is created without creating an Off-Load Pipe Tally first, casing string accessories such as float shoes can be added as the spreadsheet is completed. A new Pipe Tally report is created using the Create New Report Wizard (see “OpenWells Report Wizard” on page 4-2). When the Wizard appears, select Pipe Tally from the Select Report Type section (see Figure 4.3). Click the Next button to move to the next screen of the Wizard.

Casing Report The Casing report is used to record data about each liner or casing run into a Well during the Drilling process. The Report supports descriptions of string accessories, components, and the status of each casing string. Tallies of the casing string or tubing joints can be imported from the Pipe Tally report using the Import Pipe Tally... button in the Components section. Importing the Pipe Tally reduces time spent entering data and improves data integrity as information is only entered once by the user between these two Reports. Once a Casing report has been completed the data entered in the Assembly Name field of the General section will appear in the dropdown list for the Assembly field in the General section of a newly created Cementing report. Not all sections included in the Casing report are covered in this Training Manual. For more information, see the OpenWells On-line Help.

Cementing Report The Cementing report is used to record the operations details of each cement job performed on the well. Oilwell cementing is the process of mixing and pumping a cement slurry down the casing and up the annulus behind the pipe where it is allowed to set, thus bonding the pipe to the wellbore formation and providing hydraulic isolation. Cementing operations may be categorized as Primary or Secondary (or Remedial). In OpenWells, three Cement Job types are supported: Primary, Plug and Squeeze.

Cement Job Type Plug Cement jobs are performed for a variety of reasons to isolate a portion of the wellbore from the wellbore above or seal the well for abandonment. Primary Cementing is performed immediately after the casing or liner is run into the hole. Its objective is to provide zonal isolation to prevent migration of formation fluids in the annulus and help protect the pipe by safely anchoring and supporting the string. Secondary Cement jobs are performed after the primary cement job. Squeeze Cement jobs are performed to force a cement slurry under pressure through holes or splits in the casing/wellbore annular space. The slurry then flows into a permeable formation or fracture and hardens thus sealing that formation interval from the well.

Cement Report Sections General Section The General section enables operations summary information to be entered. Note: A new Cementing report must be created for every cement job performed on the Well.

Perforation Report The Perforation report is used to record all aspects for a perforating job from the initial conditions to the total number of shots. A new Perforation report must be created each time a perforation job is performed on the selected Wellbore. The Perforation report consists of three sections; General, Intervals, and Remarks.

General Section In the Initial Conditions Area select the Fluid Type used during the perforation from the dropdown picklist. Enter data in the Fluid Density, TVD Fluid Top, Surface Pressure, Condition, Est Res Pressure (Reservoir Pressure Estimate), and TVD Reservoir fields. The following fields are automatically calculated by OpenWells: Fluid Head = TVD Reservoir - TVD Fluid Top Hydrostatic Press is calculated as a function of the Fluid Density and TVD Reservoir (Surface Pressure is also added to display effective Hydrostatic Press (Hydrostatic Pressure) at TVD Reservoir) Pressure Difference = Hydrostatic Pressure - Est Res Pressure The entry in the Condition field is based on the calculated results found in the Pressure Difference field. There are three possible entries: Overbalanced (positive number in Pressure Difference field) In this case the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the wellbore fluid inside the casing or liner is greater that the reservoir pressure. In this case, once the perforation is made there will be a tendency for the wellbore fluid to flow into the reservoir formation. Neutral (balanced)

4-48


Landmark


In this case the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the wellbore fluid inside the casing or liner is equal to the reservoir pressure. Underbalanced (negative number in the Pressure Difference field) In this case, the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the wellbore fluid inside the casing or liner is less than the reservoir pressure. In this case, once the perforation is made there will be a tendency for the reservoir fluid to flow into the wellbore. Activate the Is Underbalanced checkbox if the Pressure Difference field contains a negative value. Enter all necessary information in the Summary area of the General section. The Total Shots field is the sum of the following calculation for each row in the Intervals spreadsheet. Total Shots = {SP/ (shot/ft.) x [TS-BS (length)]} + Additional Shot - Misfires If the Misrun checkbox is activated in the Intervals spreadsheet then the perforations recorded for that row will not be included in the Total Shots calculation.

Intervals Section The Intervals section of the Perforation report contains a spreadsheet to capture all perforation intervals and corresponding reference data. Enter available information in each column of the spreadsheet for each perforation interval. Select a Formation from the dropdown picklist. If the required Formation is not available, additions can be made using the Formations tab of the Wellbore Properties dialog (see “Wellbore Properties” on page 3-49). Select a Reservoir (Zone) from the dropdown picklist. The CCL@(ft) field refers to the depth of the Casing Collar locator which is a known reference point in the Wellbore to which perforation depths are referenced. The CCL-TS field is the distance from the Casing Collar Locator to the Top Shot (perforation interval).

Output Reports OpenWells Output Reports are predefined report formats, generated from a selected data set, to display information in an electronic format which can then be saved, emailed, or printed using a variety of file formats (e.g., .doc, .pdf). Applications such as OpenWells collect an immense amount of data during the life span of an operation. While each piece of data is important and critical in its own way, many times it may be more useful to have logically-related information presented in a comprehensive Output Report. Output Reports are developed to display information in a consistent and logical format. Once the output report has been generated and displayed, the EDM Report Manager can print Output Reports to any printer that is supported by Windows. The EDM Report Manager is accessed through the Print Preview command in OpenWells.

Creating an Output Report Select a Well Explorer node or Report. Follow the menu path: File > Print Preview

A menu appears displaying a list of available Output Reports for the selected Well Explorer node or Report. Select an Output Report to be generated. Information for the Report is extracted from the database and passed to the Report Manager which collates the data and formats it using the report configuration. The EDM Report Manager opens. See Figure 5.1 on page 5-4. Basic functions available are to view, print, and save in various formats. The following electronic file formats are available: •

Import/Export Data There are two methods available to move data in OpenWells to other instances of the EDM database. The Import and Export commands within the EDM applications use data transfer files to move data from one database instance to another. The second method to move OpenWells (EDM) information is by using the Field to Office Data Transfer application. This application is used to transfer various types of data to the office from a remote site.

Import/Export Commands in OpenWells The Import and Export commands are found in the File menu of the OpenWells main screen, similar to other EDM applications. The Import/ Export sub-menu is also available by right-clicking on the database node in the Well Explorer tree. The Import and Export functions in OpenWells do not use file compression or encryption. They use EDM *.XML data transfer files to move data from one machine to another.

Import Command The Import command is only available through the main menubar File menu item when the highest level of the Well Explorer is selected. This command is used to import data for the Well Explorer into the EDM database using an EDM data transfer file. In both the Drilling and Contractors tabs, the highest level of the Well Explorer is the database ( ) level of the hierarchy. Important: EDM Data Transfer File imports are not supported from paths or file names containing apostrophes.

To use the Import command, select the database node in the Well Explorer and follow the menu path:

Chapter 6: Import/Export Data File > Import... Note: If a data entry form is open when you try to import data, a warning message will appear indicating that the data entry form must be closed before the import can run.

The Import... window appears. Navigate to and select the EDM .XML file to be imported and click Import.... An Importing: status dialog box appears. When the import is complete the dialog box will close. The selected file contents will be added to the Well Explorer tree. Note: There are certain restrictions on existing data that will prevent import. A locked data item will not allow an import to overwrite its data. Data items which have a tight group assigned will not allow the data to be overwritten by a user who does not have access to that tight group.

Export Command The Export command is available from within the main menubar File menu item. This command is used to export data from the Well Explorer to an EDM Data Transfer File. Data Transfer Files are used to move EDM data from one database instance to another. Data Transfer Files can be created to contain all of the data contained within any Well Explorer node so exports are available at any level. Though the export is generated at a certain node level, the created data transfer file contains the entire contents of the selected data parent hierarchy set so that when it is imported elsewhere, it imports into the correct data hierarchy location. For example, a Well export file contains its parent Site, Project, and Company. If they don’t exist at the import database, they will be created. If they do exist, the Well will be imported into it’s Site. All nodes within the Drilling tab can be exported. There are no nodes in the Contractors tab that can be exported.

Field/Office Data Transfers The Field/Office Data Transfer application is used to transfer various types of data to the Office from a remote site. This application allows for the transfer of data, such as Wells, Wellbores, Events, and Reports. It also allows for the import and export of EDM system customizations and OpenWells Picklist metadata tables. The Field Office Data Transfer application compresses all transfer files and supports Tight Group security and file encryption. The Import and Export functions within OpenWells (see “Import Command” on page 6-1 and ‘Export Command” on page 6-2) do not use compression or encryption. They differ from the Field/Office Data Transfer application in that they use pure *.XML files to move data from one machine to another. The Field/Office Data Transfer can be configured to transfer data using Email or FTP over an existing LAN (network) or using Dial-Up Networking (RAS). Note: The Field/Office Data Transfer application sends changed data in the database, therefore, only data that has changed since the last data transfer will be selected by default. The user can re-send data by selecting reports prior to the last sent date.

Prior to using the Field/Office Data Transfer the EDM Services Utility must be configured to use Email and FTP on the sender machine. Typically, a Company’s EDM Data Receiver architecture will be fully configured and tested prior to being used at any Rigsite. The Field/Office Data Transfer allows for Status updates. When data is transferred to another site the sender can access the updated transfer status from the receiver at a later time. This allows the field hand to confirm that their send data has successfully imported into the office system. Note: The configuration of the sender and receiver machines must be completed for the Field/Office Data Transfer to work.

Step 4 - Data Recognition on Receiver Machine In the Office Receiver system, the data transfer will be recognized by one of the LGC EDM Data Receiver services and then automatically extracted to the monitored directory. The LGC EDM Data Receiver (Email) for emailed transfers or the LGC EDM Data Receiver (File System) for FTP'd transfers will detect the data transfer files. Once the security checks have been made (with no issues detected) the data contained in the transfer file is appended into the office database.

Step 5 - Checking Status of Data Transfer Whether a data transfer to the Receiver is successful or unsuccessful, the EDM Data Receiver Services will generate status messages which can be sent back to the Sender’s address advising them of the success of failure of their transmission. The user in the field can check for these status messages in the Field/Office Data Transfer application’s Transfer Status area. To check the status of an attempted data transfer, open the Field/Office Data Transfer application. On the lower right side of the main window is the Transfer Status area. The status of the data transfer will be displayed in the Transfer Status area. To update the status of the transfer click Check Status Now.

Summary There are two ways to transfer data for OpenWells. OpenWells contains both an Import and Export command within the application. These commands use *.XML files to move data from one machine to another. Files are neither compressed or encrypted when this option is selected. OpenWells information can also be transferred using the Field to Office Data Transfer application. This tool is used to transfer various types of data to the office from a remote/field site. The Field Office Data Transfer application compresses all transfer files. It also allows for Tight Group security and offers the use of encryption for added data security.
