Oil companies and directional drilling contractors seeking a tool for ensuring safe and efficient operations
About COMPASS
Rock properties, torque and drag, cost, and the location of existing wells can all cause potential problems and affect the optimal well trajectory. Designed for both oil companies and directional drilling contractors, COMPASS™ is the industry’s premier application for directional well path planning, survey data management, and anti-collision analysis enabling engineers to steer the bit into the profitable pay zone. Whether simple or complex, COMPASS directional path planning software can optimize drilling trajectories quickly based on cost, torque and drag, or anti-collision criteria. When carrying out infill drilling, the software’s well path planner can automatically recommend the most appropriate well to sidetrack, saving days of costly trial and error analysis. Set up customized anti-collision scans interactively while planning, surveying, or projecting ahead. Set up warnings and automatic email notifications to alert users.

GeoMaster
GeoMaster is browser-based cloud geosteering software for geosteering engineers, geologists, directional drillers and drilling teams. GeoMatch supports steering against structural models and stratigraphic correlation of logging-while-drilling data with a type well, with interpretation versions users can save, compare and restore. DrillTracker compares the well with its plan and provides trajectory, bit projection, bit-to-sensor offset and steering-to-plan information; trajectory calculations use minimum curvature. Users can import LAS files and connect to WITSML 1.4.1.1 servers to browse wells and retrieve trajectories, logs and mudlogs. GeoEngine answers questions using project well data and checks interpretations; users approve changes. Shared projects support editor and read-only viewer roles. GeoMaster runs in a browser without desktop installation and offers a free plan and a 14-day Pro trial.

DEPRO
DEPRO is a comprehensive torque, drag, and hydraulics program. Using this software, users can reduce many of the risks encountered in drilling and completion operations. DEPRO predicts the limits in the length of a horizontal well based on specific friction factors, recommends rig specifications, and evaluates the required weight to set a packer. For hydraulics, DEPRO covers downhole circulating pressures, surge and swab, equivalent circulation densities (ECD), bit optimization, hole cleaning, and volumetric displacements. Using DEPRO, downhole drilling hydraulic conditions can be fully examined and any potential problems can be identified prior to field execution. Torque, drag, and stress calculation. Soft and stiff string models. Drilling, back reaming, rotation off the bottom, tripping in and tripping out operations. Sinusoidal and helical buckling prediction. Field data comparison on workload and surface torque. Friction factor sensitivity analysis. Packer setting analysis.

TADPRO
Today’s more prevalent extended-reach directional wells mean that tubulars are exposed to greater amounts of torque and drag (T&D). If this torque and drag is not evaluated, this can result in stuck pipe, pipe failures, and costly fishing jobs. TADPRO, the most comprehensive torque and drag software in the market, removes many of the risks of a drilling program, completion design or specific tool operation. Limits in the length of a horizontal based on specific friction factors can be determined. The ability to get needed weight to a liner-top packer can also be evaluated. With the ability to analyze forces downhole, rig equipment specifications for torque and hookload can be predicted. With unparalleled user-friendliness and graphical outputs in the industry, TADPRO provides both versatility and accuracy in its calculations. The software also integrates advanced features that make it extremely easy to use and allow results to be interpreted effortlessly.

WellArchitect
WellArchitect, developed in conjunction with Baker Hughes Company, is an advanced well planning and survey management system for integrated planning and drilling of directional wellpaths with or without earth models. Devised to seamlessly accommodate the needs of sidetracking, multi-lateral wellpaths, and re-entry drilling, WellArchitect is used at both the office and wellsite, by all personnel levels in the industry. Trajectory calculations, target erosion by positional uncertainty, reporting, plotting, and 3D visualization are all included in this package. Wellpaths can be juxtaposed against earth models, reservoir models, and more (above). Data used with permission of the owner. Combines powerful directional drilling software with advanced 3D visualization tools and optional reservoir geo-data, a major step forward for the drilling industry. Handles everything from planning and survey calculations through data management and collision-risk analysis.
