What Is In This Release?

DecisionSpace® Well Engineering software is the latest significant step in the over twenty year evolution of the WELLPLAN™ software. Building upon this industry leading suite, DecisionSpace Well Engineering extends and simplifies the science through advancements in ease of use and data visualization. DecisionSpace® Well Engineering is integrated with the other EDT™ applications enabling you to install it on the same computer, and share data with other EDT applications. You can be confident that DecisionSpace® Well Engineering software uses the same theoretical science and industry-leading methodology you rely on with the WELLPLAN™ software.

Significantly Improved Usability

For novice and expert users, the completely redesigned user interface provides a simple approach to input data as well as powerful visualization capabilities to quickly interpret results. The software interface is divided into four major sections. Use the tabs on the left to input well related data, and the tabs on the right to input analysis parameters or view a schematic. Select desired analysis outputs using the ribbons at the top, and view output results in the middle section. This interface design provides you easy navigation through the software with minimal clicks. Due to the improved usability, existing WELLPLAN™ users will require minimal training, while new users can quickly learn to use the DecisionSpace® Well Engineering software.

What Is In This Release? DecisionSpace® Well Engineering Software Release Notes

Expanded Sensitivity Analysis

DecisionSpace® Well Engineering provides a powerful method of performing sensitivity analysis for many different variables. Rather than perform multiple manual iterations, you can define a range of values for the numeric variables you want to use in the sensitivity analysis. The analysis will be performed using the defined ranges on all outputs in the Output Area (center section of the software interface) that use the range data. Detailed graphical representations allow you to quickly review the sensitivity results.

5000.1.10.1 of 46 May 2013

Draft



Output Drive Inputs

Input only the data needed for the analysis you need. DecisionSpace® Well Engineering provides clear step-by-step guidance on what data is required and leads you through the data input panels in just a few clicks. Dynamic navigation and notifications guide you through entering the required data, and performing the next analysis step. Outputs are calculated and displayed when all the required data is input. This process enables engineers to utilize the software quickly and easily while supporting more accurate results.

“Output driving input” methodology identifies the required data and provides hypertext links to the appropriate data input panel. Simply click the hypertext links, input the required data, and the software does the rest. The interactive wellbore schematic provides visual feedback throughout the analysis. This simplified process allows you to make better decisions by quickly and accurately performing the analysis you need.

5000.1.10.1 of 46 May 2013

Draft



Interactive Wellbore Representations

Results are displayed graphically as part of interactive wellbore representations making interpretation of results easy to visualize and understand.

5000.1.10.1 of 46 May 2013

Draft



WYSIWYG Reports

The “output driving inputs” design used in the DecisionSpace® Well Engineering software carries over into the reports. In addition to a well schematic and table of contents, the report will contain only the information associated with the outputs you have selected. Information associated with the output includes general well data, and analysis parameters. The reports can be output in a variety of commonly used formats such as pdf, doc, xls, and more.

Service Oriented Architecture

DecisionSpace® Well Engineering calculations are web services based. This provides the capability to replace the Landmark® provided calculation engines with third party, or customer specific calculation engines.

New Centralization Module

This module is new for the 5000.1.10.1 release of DecisionSpace Well Engineering software. It is similar to the Centralizer Placement Mode in the WELLPLAN™ Cementing Module (OptiCem).

Use this analysis to predict the Casing or Liner String centralization for intervals, using the Required Standoff or the Fixed Spacing methodologies.This analysis can be used to determine the centralization intervals for Casings and/or Liner Strings using the selected methodology.

The intervals can be selected using either traditional inputs, or graphically using the Wellbore Curvature Schematic. Once the centralizer pattern is defined, the user can note the effect on the centralization, comparing both methodologies. The selected standoff can then be transferred with a single click to the appropriate input fields (on the String Editor), to be used for all calculations. A “Quick Look” at the Torque and Drag calculation will be shown.

Known Issues

Descriptions of Known Issues for the DecisionSpace® Well Engineering software are provided below.


906861 Exception when a User tries to open a case (from the recently opened cases) with no Tight group permissions

906863 Circulation Pressure: The First Calculation (string) differs from WELLPLAN behavior

906864 Hole section: Friction factors: toggling on/off using FF from hole or per operations has no effect on sensitivity

906865 Unchecked lines show on the legend after pasting "Copy to clipboard"

906866 The steady state swab‐surge results change depending up on the order in which the calculations are run. This is a defect in WELLPLAN and translates to DS Well Engineering as well.

906868 Missing validation that affects all Hydraulic Calculations when HB is selected on rheology Data

907411 Makeup Torque should not be a required field for non-Torque & Drag calculation

907413 When Collapse resistance is "0" calculations doesn't run (Hydraulics and TD)

907414 Inconsistent logging of user information in Audit logs

907415 When the Hole Section is shallower than the Wellpath, the Geothermal Gradient has weird behavior: NaN on Hydraulics Calculations

907416 Centralization Intervals output doesn't show the hyperlink

907417 POI > Torque Point, when POI=0, the rotating on bottom operation shows the torque at bit of the backreaming operation

907418 Missing information on the Operations TAB show up like validations in the affected and non‐affected plots

907421 Report: Adobe needs to be installed warning the first time the report is running (with Adobe X installed 10.1.4)

907422 Import/Export does not work when special language (Unicode) characters are used in file names

907424 When running ECD with HerschelBulkleyWithTemperatureEffect first then running BinghamPlasticWithBackpressure ECD, the results are different

907426 New (Copy of) Report takes LONG time to load when there's large number of centralizers or Survey stations

908900 Enhancement: Hook Load, String Summary, and String Position outputs are affected by the Bending Stress Mag. Factor, even though there’s no user interface for it.

908902 Enhancement or defect: Discrepancy on the Steady State Swab and Surge on the ECD vs. Time plots.

909824 Switching the Datum on Riserless scenarios produces incorrect depth adjustment

912257 Min. Wt. Hel. Buckle (Tripping In) column disappears from the Hook Load data table when selecting "Measure at X ft from TD" radio button

913068 Affected backward compatibility for Riserless cases, when these cases are opened on WELLPLAN (offshore and subsea scenarios)
