Benefits of Immersive Well Planning:
- Effective and efficient communication of complex information
- Enables multidisiplinary collaboration, avoiding confusion, and miscommunication
- Provides majore cycle time reduction. Multi-well planning projects using this tehnology than normally take weeks to months, have been accomplished in a few days to a week
- Helps improve success rates by:
- Optimizing economics
- Minimizing mistakes:
- Optimize platforms for infill wells
- Avoid existing infrastructure
- Maximize safety:
- Avoid drilling hazards
- Minimize well collision risk
- Reasons for Improved Results:
- Integration of data
- Integration of discipline specialists
- Collaboration
- Intuitive display and interaction in 3-D
- Rapid re-planning to accomodate "reality"
- Continuing R & D - IDP Consortium and the University of Colorado:
- "Brownfield" drilling
- VR interface and 3-D manipulation
- Geological/geophysical uncertainties
- Additional engineering calculations
- Tele-collaboration
