COMPASS

"Compass" is the drilling software most widely used by well planners for directional & horizontal planning, anticollision analysis and managing survey data for each well drilled. Error of ellipse reports can also be created as
well. COMPASS was created by Landmark Software & Services, a Halliburton company.

WELLPLAN
The "Well Plan" software is used to run torque & drag analysis to determine the forces that may affect the drill
string and/or casing. WELLPLAN is run in conjunction with Compass.

Successful wells begin in the office long before tripping the first line. Our veteran
well planners use a consultative approach to review all operational components of
the drilling process, from determining effective mud and casing programs to
selecting an optimal bottomhole assembly (BHA).
The aim of the well planning phase is to integrate operational issues that contribute
to the success of a well plan and maximize uptime throughout the life of the project.
With the drilling program in place, we then use sophisticated wellbore design
software to construct a comprehensive well profile to reach the target objectives
under the specified drilling conditions.

Staying on the right trajectory while drilling is critical to ensuring safe and

efficient operations. 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 software is the industrys 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.

Reach targets while saving money


Whether simple or complex, COMPASS directional well planning software can
optimize drilling trajectories quickly based on cost, torque and drag, or anti-collision
criteria. When carrying out infill drilling, the softwares well path planner can
automatically recommend the most appropriate well to sidetrack, saving days of
costly trial and error analysis.
Interactive anti-collision scans to help avoid costly incidents
Set up customized anti-collision scans interactively while planning, surveying, or
projecting ahead. Set up warnings and automatic email notifications to alert users
when well paths converge on company-specified minimum criteria. Along with hardcopy reports, COMPASS software produces spider, ladder, 3D proximity, and traveling
cylinder plots to provide the data needed to drill safely.
Reduce well-planning cycle time

COMPASS software includes data level integration with Landmarks Engineers Data
Model (EDM) database and cross-domain workflow integration with OpenWorks
database. This allows each member of the asset team to share common data and
provide the feedback required to improve planning cycle times and operational
performance.
See whats occurring in real time
For the most accurate representation of the wellbore to total depth (TD), COMPASS
software automatically computes a look-ahead plan based on real-time survey data.
When used with DecisionSpace Well Engineering software, engineers can
determine the impact of the current actual trajectory with respect to operations
when the well is drilled to TD.
New Package for Field Users with Anti-collision Capabilities
Now Landmark is offering a new license package for COMPASS called Directional
Rig Package. By having access to the Industrys premier well path planning and
survey data management technology at the Rig site service companies can now
deliver wells with greater precision allowing for more complex well paths and smaller
targets to be drilled while reducing the risk of wellbore collision. Using Compass
Directional Rig Package enables Service companies to exchange data between the
office and the field lessening the need and risks of manually transposing data to and
from files / emails.
Description: This five-day Well Design and Analysis Using the COMPASS, StressCheck, and
WELLPLAN Software course is a detailed, hands-on course where participants rapidly learn how to
utilize Landmark software to model and analyze various aspects of well design. A combination of
theory and software usability will be covered to provide engineers a working knowledge of engineering
principles considered in the analysis. The COMPASS, StressCheck, and WELLPLAN Software
are all integrated, and use the Engineers Data Module (EDM). During this course, participants
will build a firm foundation in data structure and the Engineers Data Module (EDM).
The COMPASSsoftware will be used for directional well trajectory design. Participants will import
and quality check survey data, evaluate planning options using a wide array of tools to generate 2D
and 3D well trajectories, and perform well collision avoidance by computing the distance between
wells and adjusting anti-collision parameters.
The StressCheck software is an extraordinarily powerful and easy-to-use engineering tool for the
design and analysis of casing strings. During this course, participants will learn fundamental casing
design principles, and the concepts behind design criteria while investigating burst, axial and collapse
loads. A special focus will be put on results interpretation.
The WELLPLAN software will be used to analyze the torque and drag forces acting on casing and
drill strings. A complete stress analysis will be performed for the string. The mechanical concepts and
theory behind the analysis will be explained. Participants will model well hydraulics including hole

cleaning, pressure losses, and equivalent circulating density (ECD).


On the final day, participants will have an opportunity to utilize functionality from COMPASS,
StressCheck, and WELLPLAN in an integrated workflow.
