Introduction

A vast quantity of data is associated with the life of a well, and we summarize the various stages and related data in the following list:

  • Once a well location is selected, planning such details as preparing the surface lease, selecting drilling contractors, and estimating well prognosis depths begins.
  • Drilling the well involves recording operational data, including the rig on location date, spud date, rig release date, bit types, numbers of bits used, etc.
  • Once the target formation is reached, it is evaluated by coring, logging, and testing. The results are analyzed and recorded.
  • If the well encounters hydrocarbons in economic quantities, the well must be put on production by installing completion strings, perforating, etc.
  • Once the well is put on production, fluid volumes, allocation, and composition must be recorded, along with the results of periodic testing.
  • Alternatively, the well may be a suitable injection well, and fluid injection will need to be monitored, and the results recorded.
  • With time, production from the well may no longer be economical, and the well interests may be sold to another company.
  • Alternatively, the well may be abandoned.

The Well Module captures all data related to the life of the well, with the exception of production data. That data is captured in the Production Module of PPDM.
