Introduction
The Drillworks software family of pore pressure and geomechanics applications is an integrated
set of practical solutions. Your operations benefit from industry-leading programs that address a
wide range of analytical needs for a single well or a basin-wide program.
Drillworks Presage - for building basin-scale pore pressure models that improve prediction
accuracy at new locations; allows real-time pore pressure prediction ahead of the bit through model
modification.
Drillworks Predict - the industry's leading program for accurately deriving a one-dimensional
pore pressure analysis at a single well location.
Drillworks Explorer - provides an intelligent window into the substantial amounts of geopressure
and geomechanical data that an operator or service company accumulates and converts that data
into a valuable corporate asset that is essential for future exploration and well planning as well as
to improve drilling operations.
Drillworks Pressbase - a personal database application that allows the Drillworks end user to store
and access Drillworks projects and pressure data.
Drillworks 3D - a dynamic, three-dimensional tool for visualizing and analyzing Drillworks

projects.
Drillworks Anaseis - for quick, easy correction of interval velocity seismic bias using 2D or 3D
seismic processing.
Drillworks Safe Seal - analyze target locations, test for commercial accumulations of
hydrocarbons and better estimate reservoir capacity.
Drillworks Geostress - a geomechanical analysis tool for better understanding of near-wellbore

rock stresses; plan optimum well paths and determine safe mud-weight windows by identifying
wellbore stability issues in advance.
FAQs
1. Is Drillworks 5000.8.4 a full install or a patch/update? Drillworks 5000.8.4 is a full

installation. You will need back up your data and uninstall any previous version of Drillworks.
For details, see the Drillworks Installation Guide.

SQL Server is 4 GB which should be adequate for the standard user.
4. I have Pressbase now with Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Can we continue to use this? No,
Drillworks no longer supports SQL Server 2000. You will need to upgrade to SQL Server
2008 which is provided with the install or have your IT department install the upgrade. The
Drillworks Installation Guide has detailed instructions for migrating your existing Pressbase
data to the new Pressbase.
5. I have Pressbase now with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard. Can I continue to use
this? Yes. During the installation process you can skip the installation of SQL Server 2008 R2
Express. It is not mandatory that you upgrade the SQL Server installation.
6. We have Pressworks. Contact Landmark Support to make arrangements to upgrade your

Pressworks 4.0 to Pressworks 5000.
7. What is ESRI ArcGIS? ArcGIS Desktop is a comprehensive set of professional GIS

(geographic information system) applications from ESRI that are used to solve problems,
increase efficiency, make better decisions and for a variety of other goals. ArcGIS Desktop is
the primary GIS platform for professionals to build data, maps, models and applications.
Drillworks uses ESRI ArcGIS Engine Runtime as its GIS mapping engine.
8. What version of ESRI ArcGIS does Drillworks 5000.8.4 install? There are two different
installations. Choose either ESRI ArcGIS 10.1 or ESRI ArcGIS 10.2 depending on existing
requirements in your company.
9. I have ESRI ArcGIS 9.3. Will Drillworks 5000.8.4 work with this version? No. You will
need to uninstall any previous version of ESRI Arc GIS to use Drillworks 5000.8.4 with

OpenWorks wells to existing Drillworks projects or create a new project from the Desktop.
You may also open projects stored in the connected Pressworks database directly from
DecisionSpace Desktop.
Views lists in Drillworks products can now be filtered by the selected well in the Project
Explorer. This is useful for projects with multiple wells and views.
Wells can be queried for by well name or by a common name. You will have an opportunity to
add the common well name when creating a new well or wellbore or to existing wells from the
Properties dialog.
You may also control the way well and wellbore names are displayed in the Project Explorer.
You may choose to list the wells and wellbore by common name or by Unique Well Identifier.
Standard views may be set up in the System Manager to accept common datasets when
importing wells for new projects or creating a project from query results.
Ability to calibrate CS and FA datasets on the fly while displayed on tracks with Edit Special.
The Geostress Safe Mud Weight display has been improved to allow adjustment of Major and

You may use Drillworks 3D to export one or more datasets from OpenWorks seismic brick
(.bri) files to use in analysis.
Drillworks now supports WebHelp displayed in a browser window.
Drillworks 5000.8
5000.8.4 Page 15 of 29 November 2015

This release of Drillworks 5000.8 is integrated with Landmark's DecisionSpace Desktop 5000.8
to provide users with a collaborative environment and access to a wider range of stored data and
tools.
Users with a Presswork license may search for stored Pressworks log curves and display along
side data from OpenWorks wells. Log curves may be visualized in Cube and Correlation views.
OpenWorks wells may be copied to Pressworks to use in Drillworks projects. The Pressworks Well
Data Manager allows users to view Pressworks stored data in tabular format from within the
Desktop. Drillworks now supports processing OpenWorks velocity modeling data in Drillworks
3D analysis and saving data back to OpenWorks for displaying in DecisionSpace Desktop. See the
help in Drillworks and DecisionSpace Desktop for details.
Drillworks 5000.8 new features include
support for common well names. Users can control the format of the well name as it is
displayed in the Project Explorer.
duplicate well feature - wells may be copied in their entirety and assigned a suffix. This can be
useful for differentiating wells for pre-drill, realtime and postmortem use.
wells copied from OpenWorks or EDM data stores will honor the project's default units.
new copy/paste function for creating and editing lithology columns. Users may copy data from
text files or spreadsheets and paste directly into the lithology creating/editing wizard.
performance issues and customer reported problems have been addressed
Drillworks 5000.0.3
Users are now notified when the SQL Express limit of 4 GB is reached for the Pressbase personal
relational database thus avoiding a potential loss of important data.
Previously when updating datasets via the ConnectML WITSML auto-load feature, survey stations
below the designated depth level were not preserved. This has been changed to keep the lower
survey stations as a projection per users requests.
Additionally, the measured and vertical depth values are handled more efficiently inside of UDMs
and UDPs.
This release also fixes defects reported by customers and support.
Drillworks 5000.0.2
Windows 7 platform is now supported for the Drillworks suite of applications. Some issues
reported by customers and users have been fixed in this release.
5000.8.4 Page 16 of 29 November 2015

Drillworks 5000.0.1
The Drillworks 5000.0.1 patch fixed several issues reported by users including the following:
Performance in displaying trace locations in 3D has been improved

DEX format survey data import has been fixed
An issue with exporting a new dataset to INSITE has been fixed.
Drillworks 5000
Drillworks users now have the ability to work collaboratively. A user may open a Predict project
and choose to share the project with other users. Only one instance of Predict has read/write access,
but other users may now open the shared project in Geostress, Presage and/or the LOT Analyzer
with full write privileges. This feature is dependent on license holdings.
Additional new features for Drillworks Predict
All Drillworks products have consistent coordinated mapping systems.
New with Drillworks is the ability to define one individual dataset per datatype as definitive
for each wellbore. Previous definitive associations at the wellbore level are preserved in stored
projects.
Users may now select a region on a track-displayed pressure dataset and have the program fit
a curve to the point. This Gradient Analysis can be saved and edited.
Track properties have been enhanced to allow changes to apply to all user-locked tracks while
editing a current view or track. Additional track enhancements include a maximum of 15 tracks
in a view instead of the previous eight, plus the capacity to stretch the application window
across two monitors.
When importing wells from OpenWorks or EDM data stores, view templates can be
automatically created in the same manner as when importing a well from Pressbase or
Pressworks data stores.
Drillworks software has the ability to change the name of the WTSML curve as it is loaded into
Pressworks via the AutoLoad Configuration dialog in ConnectML.
Drillworks Explorer new features:
Drillworks Explorer users may now evaluate duplicate wells found in different data stores and
choose which data to include in a temporary well. This constructed well, or derived well can
be easily edited and then included in a new or existing project.
Users have more flexibility in editing wells found in query results before adding the wells to a
project. You may delete multiple query result wells from the Data tab by a highlight and right-
5000.8.4 Page 17 of 29 November 2015

click Remove operation.
Users may now perform queries by location using specific features in differing layers relative
to wells and stored pressure data.
With a Drillworks Explorer license, you may launch a query directly from the Predict track to
quickly determine spatial relationships between wells by viewing the results on the Map tab of
Drillworks Explorer.
New features for Drillworks Geostress
Borehole breakouts are stress-induced horizontal enlargements of the wellbore while the well is
being drilled. The breakout is a very important indicator of wellbore instability and the
enlargement can be described by the breakout angle and breakout azimuth.
New with Drillworks software is the ability to import caliper logs to produce a caliper group
dataset as input to create an enlargement dataset. This enlargement dataset can be created by
the program to automatically identify breakout, washout and key seat zones. These zones can
be plotted on standard Predict tracks for the entire length of the borehole.
Another new feature is the Breakout Analysis which uses the caliper group dataset and/or the
enlargement dataset. The outputs are Breakout Angle and Breakout Azimuth datasets which
can also be plotted on standard Predict tracks. This analysis can be used to characterize the
extent and direction of the breakouts based on 4 or 6 arm caliper logs.
The displayed Breakout Azimuth and Breakout Angle datasets can be viewed in cross-section
at a user-specified depth. Additionally, these results can be used to compare with others
obtained from image logs to make a more accurate prediction of wellbore stability.
The new breakout angle dataset can also be used in the SFG calculations.
Geostress has now implemented correlations for limestone/dolomite in addition to shale and
sandstone for shear failure gradient correlations.
Additionally, users may specify these new correlations or use the constant values for each
formation in a lithology column for rock strength parameters used in calculating shear failure
stress gradients.
Users may now determine near wellbore principal and effective stress outputs that can be used
in UDMs and UDPs for wellbore stability analysis.
