Well Planning
Well Planning


We have a team of experienced, extensively trained well planners that work directly with our customers and coordinators to produce the most accurate well plans possible. While accuracy is vital to drilling success, we also stress perpetual safety and efficiency in our plans so that our customers see optimal value and returns on their projects.

We use Landmark COMPASS™ and AutoCAD®—both industry standard packages—to create customized well plans. Not only does this allow us an opportunity to maximize potential, but it also affords our customers an opportunity to visualize the approach and provide feedback before any drilling begins. We provide customers with well plan drawings, traveling cylinder plots, and well plots so that informed collaboration between all parties can occur.

We provide services including well design; AC monitoring and collision avoidance; identification of lease and hard line crossings; daily well updates; and end-of-well reporting. We have experience with multi-lateral, extended reach, turnazontal, s-well, build, and hold wells.
