Chapter 1: Introduction
System Overview
OpenWells is designed to provide drilling, completions, well servicing,
and operations reporting information within a single application.
OpenWells is a fully customizable application that can be configured to
meet the specific needs of a company.
OpenWells is built around the following key themes: customization,
integration, value of data, security, modernization, and ease of use.
Customization
The customization features in OpenWells allow the user to configure
elements such as the data entry forms, output reports, preview panes,
and shortcut bars.
OpenWells also includes full internationalization support. This means
that by changing the Windows Regional Settings, OpenWells can be
launched in another language.
Integration
The integration of drilling engineering workflows through the
Engineers Desktop provides improved data integrity across
applications. As more versions of OpenWells are released, Landmark is
continuing to develop more efficient workflows for various groups of
users including Well Services Engineers, Drilling (field) users, Wellsite
Geologists, Office Well Planners, and Management.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Value of Data
OpenWells offers improved graphic visualization of data through
features such as customizable data previews and thoughtfully developed
output reports. The 2003.11 release of EDM will also include Data
Analyzer, PROFILE, and iWellFile (based on iDIMS).
Security
Security is extremely important for the protection of client data. In
OpenWells there are two types of security; application security and
database security.
In the OpenWells application, security is enabled through the
assignment of security levels to fields and users and through the use of
tokens. Security levels are given to fields within the application. Users
are also given a security level. If the users security level is greater than
or equal to that of the field, the user can access the field contents. Tokens
are also used to provide or revoke access to specific functionality in the
application. The ability to edit, add, or delete within the application is
based on tokens.
Modernization
The 2003.5 version of EDM provides a set of tools to help clients move
DIMS data into OpenWells using a complete and comprehensive data
migration.
Ease of Use
OpenWells offers an improved user interface the implementation of a
three paned navigational window. This application has been designed
with interfaces common to the suite of Landmark engineering
application whenever possible. While in the design phase, client
feedback was incorporated into the design of the Data Entry Forms.

Unit Systems
OpenWells is shipped with two default unit systems:
API (American Petroleum Institute)
This unit system in based on the Imperial system of measurements
(i.e., Feet (ft), Inches (in), Pounds (lb), Quart (qt), Gallon (gal)
Fahrenheit (F)).
API - US Survey Feet (American Petroleum Institute)
This unit system in based on the API system described above. It has
the ability to display units in fractions.
SI (International System of Units)
This unit system is based on the Metric system of measurements, its
units are identical in all languages (Meters (m), Centimeters (cm),
Millimeters (mm), Kilograms (kg), Liters (L) Celsius (C)).
The Engineers Desktop also allows for the creation of a customized unit
system based on either one of the above systems.
For more information on Unit Systems, see Unit System on page 3-20.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Security in OpenWells
Security in OpenWells is based on user authentication and validation,
user/group management, and application security.The OpenWells
System Administration course and manual covers all aspects of
managing security in OpenWells.
Data Locking can help secure data in your OpenWells database. For
more information on Data Locking, see Data Locking on page 3-23.
Tight Groups
Tight Groups are used to restrict access to the Site and Well levels of the
Well Explorer hierarchy. Each Site and Well is associated to a particular
Tight Group. Sites and Wells to which the User or their Group does not
have Tight Group access are not displayed. This security measure
effectively prevents the user from accessing this data. For a restricted
Site, all Wells, Wellbores, Events, and Reports within that Site are
hidden. For restricted Wells, all Wellbores, Events, and Reports are
hidden. Tight Group creation and membership can be managed by your
System Administrator using the EDM Administration Utility.

Column Headings
Spreadsheets have column headings similar to tables. They hold a
descriptive title to clarify the data currently displayed or the data to be
entered in the column. Columns with a unit class, such as feet, assigned
will display the unit label, ft, in parenthesis after the column name.
Spreadsheet columns also allow for width manipulation, sorting, and rearrangement.

Note:
OpenWells will remember any adjustments made to the width and position of
the columns within a Spreadsheet. This only works for Spreadsheets on Data
Entry Forms. The adjustments are saved to an XML file in the users settings
folder. (x:\Documents and
Settings\<user>\ApplicationData\Landmark\OpenWells\
UserPreferences.xml). The adjustments are saved when the user leaves a form
by closing the window, switching days, or switching report types - even if the
user doesnt save the forms data by clicking Cancel in the Do you want to
save? dialog. These user adjustments are ignored if the administrator (using
the EDM Administration Utility) changes the configuration of the section
containing that spreadsheet.
Column order can be changed using the drag and drop feature.
Click on the column, holding the mouse button down and drag

Date Entries
Date entries in OpenWells can be entered using the date selection
dropdown. This dialog is accessed through a dropdown arrow ( ), that
looks similar to the arrow used to access picklists.
Using the Date Selection dialog reduces errors that result from entering
dates in the wrong format. For example, entering the date in dd/mm/
yyyy format instead of mm/dd/yyyy.
All dates are entered in a short date format to ensure the date can be
stored in any ODBC compliant database without modification. If a date
is entered with the year in a two-character format (dd/mm/yy) an error
is returned. By forcing the date to be entered in the short date format,
OpenWells ensures that the correct date is sent to the database.
Landmark

The order of MM, DD, YYYY is taken from the local PC's Regional
Settings short date configuration to ensure that dates can be entered
according to local convention. To change the date format, you must
change it in the Windows Regional Settings.
To enter today's date in a field quickly select the field and press F12.
Note:
When a date is entered manually through the keyboard, do not forget the leading
zeros for days and months where appropriate (for example, enter 02/03/1997, not 2/
3/1997).
Time Entries
Time can be manually entered in the data entry field or the scroll buttons
can be used to scroll to the correct time.
The time format can be set using either a 24 hour clock or a 12 hour
clock using the Windows Regional Settings on your computer.
When using a time field, the time is laid out in hours and minutes: 00:00.
Change the value in the hours position by clicking on the hours segment
and scrolling up or down using the arrow buttons to the right of the field.
The minutes and seconds (where available) can be changed in the same
way.
To insert the current time (based on the clock setting in your computer),
press F12.
Time fields within the Daily Operations report will only accept time
ranges that fall within the current Reporting Standard.
Checkboxes
Many Data Entry Forms and dialog boxes in OpenWells contain
checkboxes.
Checkbox fields have only two settings: they are either activated or
deactivated. When the box beside the field title is empty the field is
deactivated, and the function expressed in the field title is ignored.
When the box is filled with a check mark (activated), the field is active
and the function expressed in the field title is carried out.

Catalogs
Catalogs are used to collate a list of available assembly components and
their properties. These catalogs are shared by various EDM applications
as selection lists for various equipment such as Drill Pipes, Drill Collars,
Centralizers, Mud Motors, and Packers. OpenWells has catalog
selection interfaces in the Drillstrings section of the Daily Operations
report, Pipe Tally report, Casing report, and Wellbore Equipment report.
Use the Catalog dropdown to select the appropriate component type.

Libraries
A Library is a tool employed by OpenWells and WELLPLAN to store
drillstrings or fluid descriptions for future use. Once a drillstring or fluid
is stored in a library, it can be retrieved (imported) to quickly and easily
create a new fluid or drillstring based on the retrieved string or fluid. For
example, a drillstring library can be used to store commonly used
assemblies. Once a drillstring is imported from a library, it can be edited
to meet your current objectives.
A library should not be confused with a catalog. A catalog contains a
collection of similar drillstring components that can be used to build a
drillstring. For example, there are jar catalogs, or drill pipe catalogs. A
library is used to store the complete drillstring, not a certain type of
drillstring component.
You can use the fluid library to store commonly used fluids. Each fluid
entry in the library includes all the data required to define that fluid, such
as rheological model, weight, gel strength, etc. As with drillstring
library entries, once the fluid has been imported from a library into the
current case, it can be edited as desired.
Using WELLPLAN Libraries can be shared with other users by
exporting them at the database level to library transfer files (.LIB xml).
Libraries are accessible in the Daily Operation Report; Drillstrings and
Fluids Sections.
Read Only
Some data fields in the Data Entry Forms may appear as 'greyed-out'
fields. These fields have been populated by data in fields present in other
parts of the form or in other parts of OpenWells, or the user does not
have sufficient security to edit the field. By default read-only fields
cannot be directly edited. If a read-only field needs to be edited, the
entry must be changed in the source fields.
OpenWells read-only fields are shipped with the application, and can
also be configured by your System Administrator.
An example of a read-only field shipped with OpenWells is the Total
Daily Cost field in the General Section of the Cost Estimate and AFE
report.
Landmark
2-17
Memo
Memo fields are large text fields that allow unlimited free-form text
entry.
Memo fields are unrestricted with respect to content but should be
relevant for the Data Entry Form in which they are entered. Depending
on how the System Administrator has customized your version of
OpenWells, memo fields can also be unrestricted in space. This means
that the user can enter as much information as necessary to describe a
situation.
When using memo fields it is important to remember that other users
will access the information entered. Therefore it should be documented
in a way that will be understandable to others. Avoid the use of
uncommon abbreviations and acronyms where possible.
Carryover
When creating a report for the first time, some data fields in the Data
Entry Form may be populated automatically using default values or data
from the previous report. This auto-populated data is called carryover
data.
Carryover fields are configured in OpenWells by the System
Administrator using the EDM Administration Utility.
Simple examples of carryover fields are DOL (Days on Location) and
DFS (Days from Spud) fields in the Daily Operations report, which
increase incrementally by one in the General section of the second or
subsequent Daily Operations data entry form. Some data is carried over
with no change (e.g., Supervisor Name).
By default most carryover fields can be directly edited unless it has been
configured as a read-only field by the System Administrator.

This information, in turn, can be used to improve Well designs and
operations for future Wells. The EDM Lessons Learned system and
information storage area may also be integrated by clients to liaise with
other Knowledge Management systems within their IT infrastructure.

event and how it was closed-out. NPT is also known as trouble time, and
commonly used as a measure of efficiency for operations.
Equipment Failures and NPT, which delay Well Construction may be
comprehensively documented and associated to Daily Operations
activities. Tracking equipment failures and operation downtime
improves planning for well operations. It also aids in the anticipation of
equipment failures. Using this tracking method facilitates a more
effective and proactive maintenance approach. All of these factors result
in less downtime and greater operations efficiency through modification
of operations with high equipment failure frequencies.
Equipment Failures and Non-Productive Time events are tracked
through the NPT/Equipment Failure Properties dialog ( see Time
Summary Section on page 4-15.).
These events are also listed in the Associated Data Viewer (see
Associated Data Viewer on page 3-77) whenever the associated Event
is selected in the Well Explorer. Failures are listed by Equipment
System (Date of Failure) and Subsystem.
This unplanned event system enables Daily Operations activities to be
associated to equipment failures and downtime in operations through
the Time Summary section. Within the dialog the engineer is able to
fully define particular activities as Equipment Failure, Equipment
Failure with NPT, or NPT (No Failure). The unplanned event can then
be further defined by equipment system, subsystem location, costs
incurred, and downtime.
Technical Limit
Technical Limit is a component of the OpenWells Knowledge
Management system which allows a company to use existing Well data,
Lessons Learned, Equipment Failure and Non-Productive Time
information to generate a "Best Case Scenario" plan. The goal of this
plan is to reduce well construction and maintenance costs without
compromising safety, the environment, and the well objectives.
Technical Limit is defined as the perfect performance to achieve an
objective limited only by currently available technology and personnel.
The Technical Limit is determined for the well design based on the
operations program. This operations program is generated from the
engineering requirements for the well and capabilities of a specific rig
type and crew. The resultant Technical Limit derived drilling and/or

The Audit tab is used in each of the Properties dialogs for both the
Drilling tab and the Contractors tab. Use this tab to track modifications
to the data item. Although the Audit tab is used on each of the Properties
dialogs, the contents of each Audit tab is separate and unique. For
example, the Company Properties > Audit tab is separate from the
Project Properties > Audit tab.
The Created area of the Audit tab displays information about the user
that created the node. In the event that the data was migrated from
DIMS, the following will appear in the User field 'Data Migration ToolDIMS'. It displays the application that was used to create the node (e.g.,
Data Transfer Tool, OpenWells, etc.) as well as the date and time that
the node was created. It also displays the date that the node was created.
The Last Modified area of the tab displays the name of the last user to
modify the data in that node, the application that was used to modify the
data, and the date the data in that node was last modified.
Finally, there is an area to enter comments as desired to assist with
tracking the use of the software on changes to the node data. New
comments may be appended to existing comments.
Project
The Project is the data level directly beneath Company and each Project
within a Company must have a unique name. A Project can be thought
of as a field, asset, or a group of sites. A Project has one system datum

datum to the wellhead, and is used in some calculations where this
is the hanging depth for casing when set. To determine wellhead
depth:
Wellhead Depth (from rig floor) = Depth Reference Datum
Elevation + Wellhead Depth (below MSL)
Wellhead Depth (set in the General tab of the Well Properties dialog)
is positive for offshore subsea and negative for wellheads above
MSL (i.e., onshore or offshore platform). Therefore, the calculation
above can handle either offshore or subsea wells. The Reference
Datum Level is always positive for drilling rig datums. Both
wellhead depth and wellhead elevation are distances from the
system datum to the casing flange.

Location Tab
The Wellhead Location defines the Wellhead centre location. This
location is defined in terms of map coordinates referenced to the Map
Zone, Geographic Latitude/Longitude, and Local Site coordinates (N/S,
E/W) from the Site Centre Location. A Slot may be selected from the
Site templates. In the Location tab one of two methods may be used for
defining a wellhead location relative to the Site.
Local
Select the Slot option to define the wellhead location using a predefined
template. Use the Name dropdown picklist to select a predefined
template. The Slot coordinates are then used as local coordinates from
Site centre.
Select the Offset from Site option to define the wellhead local
coordinates referenced from Site center to the wellhead location.
Enter the distance North from the site center. Enter the distance East
from the site center.
Map - The wellhead position may be defined in map co-ordinates. Enter
the Northing and Easting coordinates of the wellhead and the local coordinates will be calculated from the site center. The well location is
stored relative to the site, so if the site moves, the well will move too.
Geographic Check this option and enter Latitude and Longitude
coordinates to indicate the location of the wellhead.
A position error may be associated with the Well location. This error is
added to all errors generated on Wellbores in this Well. The Well error
is designed for special cases. For example, when there are a number of
Wellheads in close proximity to each other (grouped in the same Site)
but not connected by a template. The well error in this case is the error
in measurement of one Well relative to the others, but not the error in the
groups location, which is the Site position error. It is recommended that
Well error be left as zero for template Wells.
Note:
EDM now uses the ISCWA survey error framework for calculating all survey errors
and requires that all instrument and location error input is to 1 sigma confidence.
This means that the Site and Well location errors are now 0.5 the value entered in
previous versions of COMPASS where the Company error model was Systematic
or Cone of Error.

Completion
A Completion can be defined as a system of isolated wellbore openings,
wellbore conduits, and associated equipment which provide a means to
produce or inject fluid from or into producing zones. A Completion may
also provide a means to observe the conditions of the producing zones.
A single Completion may provide the conduit for fluid flowing via one
or more Effective Wellbore Opening Intervals. The Effective Wellbore
Opening Intervals servicing one Completion are contained in the same
Wellbore.
This process includes the use of equipment to optimize production or
integration such as, packers, tubing, liners, and more.

number of days from spud for drilling operations. The DFS field can
contain a negative number. The days recorded in these fields can be
different if the Rig is moved on location before the Well is spudded. By
default when a second Daily Operations report is created the DOL and
DFS fields automatically increase by one day. This carry over behaviour
can be changed by the EDM/OpenWells System Administrator.
The following fields involve calculations performed by OpenWells:
4-12
The Daily Cost field is the sum of the Amount fields in the
Daily Cost section spreadsheet.
Landmark
The Daily Mud Cost field is the sum of the Day Cost field in
the Mud Inventory sections multi-level spreadsheet
The Cumulative Total field is the sum of the Daily Cost fields
for all previous Daily Operations Reports.
The Cum Mud Cost field is the sum of the Daily Mud Cost
fields for all previous Daily Operations reports.
The Progress field details the amount of new hole that has been
drilled in the last report period. It is calculated by subtracting the
MD for the previous report from the MD for today. Once the
Daily Operations report is created this field is calculated and
cannot be edited. A value must be entered in this field in the first
Daily Operations report. (E.g., The Well is drilled down to 100
ft. and this value is recorded as the MD on the first Daily
Operations report. On the second day, the Well is drilled down to
300 ft. and this value is recorded as the MD on the second Daily
Operations report. OpenWells calculates a Progress of 200 ft.
and displays this figure on the second Daily Operations report.)
Last Est, Est Date, Auth Cost, and Auth Date are read-only fields. The
data contained within these fields is based on data entered in the General
tab of the Event Properties (see Event Properties on page 3-60) dialog.
Use the dropdown picklist to select the Lithology and Formation. The
Lithology picklist is based on entries in the Lithologies tab of the

Survey Section
The Survey section is used to record wellbore trajectory measurements
(surveys) that assists engineers in determining the position and direction
of the wellbore. It is important to record the position of the wellbore as
this allows engineers or geoscientists to track drilling progress against
the planned trajectory. Additionally, survey data enables anti-collision
analysis to be performed especially when drilling in close proximity to
other wellbores or drilling a relief well.
The Survey section contains two spreadsheets, a properties page, and a
survey stations history dialog window, which also contains a
spreadsheet. Initially, only the Survey Headers spreadsheet can be seen.
Once a row has been added to this spreadsheet the Today's Survey
Stations spreadsheet appears below.
Survey Properties

Select the Survey Tool from the dropdown that is located in the
Instrument Selection area. This is the tool that will be used to survey this
section of the wellbore.
Integration Note:
The survey tool used here is very important if OpenWells survey data is shared with
COMPASS, where the survey tool error model is used to calculate positional
certainty. The specified tool is used in all anti-collision calculations. Therefore,
proper selection and definition of each tools errors and tolerances is critical to
proper compilation of positional uncertainty in COMPASS.
Select an option to define the Tie-on Point for the survey. The following
three options are available:
User Defined
This option allows the user to customize the tie-on point location, which
is used as a baseline for survey station calculations. In this case the user
would manually enter the Measured Depth, Inclination, Azimuth,
True Vertical Depth, Northing, and Easting.
From Wellhead
This options allows the user to define the tie-on point as from the
wellhead. The initial Measured Depth, True Vertical Depth,
Northing, and Easting would equal zero. The user must enter the
Inclination and Azimuth of the Wellbore; zero for vertical Wells; nonzero for slant Wells.
From Survey
This option allows the user to select a survey header previously used on
the wellbore. The tie-on point would be the last survey station of the
selected survey.
Note:
There are two situations in which a survey tie-on would be entered; to initialize the
origin of the Well survey (for the first survey of the Well), or to establish a new
starting point for a survey tool (for all subsequent surveys).

Bulks Section
The Bulks section of the Daily Operations report is used to record the
inventory of bulk products used at the Rig. These products may include
barite, cement, diesel, gel, water, heli-fuel, etc.
The spreadsheet contained in the Bulks section is a multi-level
spreadsheet (see Alternatively, the mouse can be used to navigate
through the spreadsheet. on page 2-13).
The main spreadsheet is used to record the bulk products on location,
their unit size, and unit measurement. The sub-spreadsheet is used to
record bulk product transactions (i.e., how much was initially on site;
how much has been used; how much has been back-loaded; and how
much remains on location).
Note:
Enter a value in the Received column of the sub-spreadsheet and press Enter to

Hydrostatic Press is calculated as a function of the Fluid Density
and TVD Reservoir (Surface Pressure is also added to display
effective Hydrostatic Press (Hydrostatic Pressure) at TVD
Reservoir)
Pressure Difference = Hydrostatic Pressure - Est Res Pressure
The entry in the Condition field is based on the calculated results found
in the Pressure Difference field. There are three possible entries:
Overbalanced (positive number in Pressure Difference field)
In this case the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the wellbore fluid inside
the casing or liner is greater that the reservoir pressure. In this case, once
the perforation is made there will be a tendency for the wellbore fluid to
flow into the reservoir formation.
Neutral (balanced)

In this case the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the wellbore fluid inside
the casing or liner is equal to the reservoir pressure.
Underbalanced (negative number in the Pressure Difference field)
In this case, the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the wellbore fluid inside
the casing or liner is less than the reservoir pressure. In this case, once
the perforation is made there will be a tendency for the reservoir fluid to
flow into the wellbore.

Output Reports
OpenWells Output Reports are predefined report formats, generated from a selected data set, to
display information in an electronic format which can then be saved, emailed, or printed using a
variety of file formats (e.g., .doc, .pdf).
Applications such as OpenWells collect an immense amount of data during the life span of an
operation. While each piece of data is important and critical in its own way, many times it may be
more useful to have logically-related information presented in a comprehensive Output Report.
Output Reports are developed to display information in a consistent and logical format. Once the
output report has been generated and displayed, the EDM Report Manager can print Output

Import/Export Data
There are two methods available to move data in OpenWells to other instances of the EDM
database. The Import and Export commands within the EDM applications use data transfer files to
move data from one database instance to another. The second method to move OpenWells (EDM)
information is by using the Field to Office Data Transfer application. This application is used to
transfer various types of data to the office from a remote site.
Import Command
The Import command is only available through the main menubar File
menu item when the highest level of the Well Explorer is selected. This
command is used to import data for the Well Explorer into the EDM
database using an EDM data transfer file.
In both the Drilling and Contractors tabs, the highest level of the Well
Explorer is the database (
) level of the hierarchy.
Important:
EDM Data Transfer File imports are not supported from paths or file names
containing apostrophes.
To use the Import command, select the database node in the Well
Explorer and follow the menu path:
Landmark
6-1
The Import... window appears. Navigate to and select the EDM .XML
file to be imported and click Import....
An Importing: <File path and name> status dialog box appears. When
the import is complete the dialog box will close.
The selected file contents will be added to the Well Explorer tree.
Note:
There are certain restrictions on existing data that will prevent import.
A locked data item will not allow an import to overwrite its data. Data items which
have a tight group assigned will not allow the data to be overwritten by a user who
does not have access to that tight group.
Export Command
The Export command is available from within the main menubar File
menu item. This command is used to export data from the Well Explorer
to an EDM Data Transfer File. Data Transfer Files are used to move
EDM data from one database instance to another.
Data Transfer Files can be created to contain all of the data contained
within any Well Explorer node so exports are available at any level.
Though the export is generated at a certain node level, the created data
transfer file contains the entire contents of the selected data parent
hierarchy set so that when it is imported elsewhere, it imports into the
correct data hierarchy location.
For example, a Well export file contains its parent Site, Project, and
Company. If they dont exist at the import database, they will be
created. If they do exist, the Well will be imported into its Site.
All nodes within the Drilling tab can be exported.
There are no nodes in the Contractors tab that can be exported.

Landmark
To use the Export command, select the node in the Well Explorer tree
and follow the menu path:
File > Export...
The Export... window appears. Navigate to the location where the file
will be exported and rename the file in the File name field if necessary.
Click the Export... button.
An Export status dialog box will appear. When the export is complete
the status dialog will disappear.

Prior to using the Field/Office Data Transfer the EDM Services Utility
must be configured to use Email and FTP on the sender machine.
Typically, a Companys EDM Data Receiver architecture will be fully
configured and tested prior to being used at any Rigsite.
The Field/Office Data Transfer allows for Status updates. When data is
transferred to another site the sender can access the updated transfer
status from the receiver at a later time. This allows the field hand to
confirm that their send data has successfully imported into the office
system.
Note:
The configuration of the sender and receiver machines must be completed for the
Field/Office Data Transfer to work.

Summary
There are two ways to transfer data for OpenWells.
OpenWells contains both an Import and Export command within the
application. These commands use *.XML files to move data from one
machine to another. Files are neither compressed or encrypted when this
option is selected.
OpenWells information can also be transferred using the Field to Office
Data Transfer application. This tool is used to transfer various types of
data to the office from a remote/field site. The Field Office Data
Transfer application compresses all transfer files. It also allows for Tight
Group security and offers the use of encryption for added data security.
