7. Setting up Drillworks

Once Drillworks 12 is installed, you will need to setup your Pressbase database and Drillworks Explorer. You may view the Getting Started Video on the Drillworks 12 DVD Documentation section or on the Customer Tips section of www.knowsys.com/support that will guide you through setup.

7.1 Setting up Drillworks with the Pressbase Database When the Pressbase database is installed, you will need to setup Drillworks with Pressbase as your data store and then import your projects from the binary file storage to Pressbase. To Connect to Pressbase 1. From the Predict menu select Tools > Options. 2. Select the Data Locations tab. 3. Your current binary data store location will be listed. Click Change. 4. On the Change Data Store dialog select a data store type from the drop-down list:

Pressworks/Pressbase SQL Server Pressworks/Pressbase Oracle.

5. If you choose a SQL server, type the name of the data store location (your computer name for Pressbase) or click Change to navigate to the available server. After making your selection, click OK. The name of the PC/server appears in the Data store location field.

6. If you choose an Oracle personal database, type the name of the database in the Data store location field.

7. After selecting a data store type and location, type the name of the database. For new Pressbase installations with Microsoft SQL Server, the default database name is Pressbase.

8. The method of connecting to a database is decided by your System Administrator. Choose one of the following: Windows authentication - you will be logged in to the database using your Windows

user name and password (for Oracle consult your database administrator). Database server authentication - Type your login name and password for the

selected database. Database server authentication using the default Pressbase Account - you will be

logged in to the database using the default Pressbase user name and password. 9. When you have made your choice, click OK. Newly created projects and/or projects

imported into Predict will be stored in the Pressbase database.


25

7.2 Migrating Existing Data into Drillworks Pressbase Once you have setup Drillworks with Pressbase, you will need to import your projects from the binary file storage to Pressbase. This is the same procedure as importing any other project. First, make sure your stored project location is Pressbase and then import the projects. Note: Drillworks Pressbase Version 3.5 includes a unique well identifier attribute that allows wells to be shared in multiple projects without duplicating them. Prior to importing projects, you should ensure wells in your projects have the unique well identifier field populated. You can use an industry or company standard and enter these on the Well Properties General tab. Please see the Well Merge topic in the Drillworks Integrated Help system for more information. Contact Knowledge Systems’ support department for assistance as needed. Importing Projects from the Binary file From the Predict menu bar select Project > Import Step 1 - Specify Source Project Location 1. Verify the project location field displays the binary file location where your projects are

currently stored. a. For a default installation this will be:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Drillworks12\Projects\ b. For tutorial projects this will be:

C:\Program Files\Drillworks12\Samples\ 2. If the project location field is blank or incorrect, Click Browse and select Drillworks

binary file data store as the type and Click Change to navigate to the stored project folder.

3. Click OK on the Add Data Store dialog. 4. On the Import a Project dialog select the projects to import. You may use Select All to

choose all projects displayed. 5. Click Next. Step 2 - Specify Import Options 6. The source project name and location is shown in the shaded fields. 7. By default, the system will retain the name of each imported project. You may change

the name. 8. Choose whether to “Merge system defaults with project defaults” and if conflict, whether

to favor system defaults. 9. Click Next if importing more than one project. Otherwise click Finish.

If you have duplicate wells in your database, Pressbase will prompt you which to select as the primary.

10. Your imported projects are now stored in the Pressbase database. To verify, select Project > Open from the Predict menu. The imported projects will be listed on the Open a Project dialog.


26

7.3 Setting up Drillworks Explorer When you launch Drillworks Explorer for the first time, you will need to tell Explorer the data store(s) to connect to and display. You will add your new Pressbase local data store and any Pressworks data stores using the Select Data Stores screen that appears. The process is similar to “To Connect to Pressbase” in Section 7.1. For more information, please see the “Drillworks Explorer Overview” topic in the Drillworks integrated Help system. If the Explorer default World map does not display, you can load the World Map.mxd file from the My Documents\Drillworks\Defaults\Map\World directory. If you have a prior installation and Drillworks 12 did not copy the updated Map folder and subfolders to your My Documents directory, you can copy the Map folder there from the C:\Program Files\Drillworks\DEFAULTS\Map directory. You can also change the default World map to a map of your region and add Shape files (*.shp) to your map such as blocks. Regional samples are available in the My Documents\Drillworks\Defaults\Map directory. For instructions, please see the Drillworks integrated Help system. You may also check with your IT department or Knowledge Systems for additional maps and Shape files.

8.0 Drillworks 12 Pressbase Backup Utility Drillworks 12 includes a database backup utility for Pressbase that provides users an easy way to backup and restore their local databases. After installing Drillworks 12, you may launch the utility by navigating to the Windows Start Menu Drillworks 12 folder and clicking the Database Backup Utility icon. Note: The local Drillworks Backup Utility uses Windows Authentication to connect to a local Pressbase database. If you do not have access to any of the local databases, then the drop down boxes next to “Database server” and “Database name” will be empty. In this case, please contact your systems administrator to grant access to the local database. With normal access to the database the dialog should look similar to this:


27

Where can backups be written in the file system? Microsoft SQL Server Express will need rights to backup the database to other folders outside the SQL Server Express default backup folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup (pictured above) including other hard drives and network drives. Backups written to the local file system are done with the identity “NETWORK SERVICES” by default (or whatever user SQL Server Express for Pressbase is running under if changed by an administrator). If the database is running under the default account, then there are places where it cannot write in the local file system – most notably any directory under: C:\Documents and Settings\ including the user’s home directory which can be confusing since the tool allows new directories to be created there (which are created with the user’s credentials). However, once you create a backup, you may copy the backup from the SQL Server folder to another location. Please contact your network administrator for network rights or assistance. See the Drillworks Help for more information on using the Pressbase Backup Utility. Note: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express is also provided on the Drillworks 12.0 Installation DVD. It can also be used for database backup and restoration, but generally requires SQL knowledge or introductory training prior to use. SQL Server Management Studio is an easy and efficient management tool that can be used to manage SQL Server Express and diagnose any problems. It is not required and can be installed at a later date. To install SQL Server Management Studio, navigate to the SQL Express folder on the Drillworks Installation DVD and double click on the SQLServer2005_SSMSEE.msi file.

14. New Features in Drillworks 12 Drillworks 12 will help operators improve exploration and drilling by better analyzing and predicting pore pressures near and below salt, performing enhanced pressure compartment analysis during exploration, performing integrated LOT analysis, and optimizing development and production programs.

14.1 New Features in Drillworks 12 Note: This section includes enhancements across the Drillworks family of software that are not product specific. New well/wellbore data model allows multiple wellbores under each well. These can be

sidetracks/bypasses or the user can add wellbores that represent possible well paths during the planning phase. Under the wellbore, the user can store its survey, other useful information such as start/stop date and OCSG #, and the wellbore's data.

Improved integration of Presage with Pressbase. Display borehole images for comparison to wellbore stability models.

14.2 New Features in Drillworks Predict 12.0 Support for user-defined pressure zones such as depleted reservoirs with the ability to

select a formation on the lithology column and specify a known pressure (depletion interval) and fracture gradient adjustment factor. Predict adjusts the pore pressure, shear failure, and fracture gradient for the specified depletion and displays the depletion interval on the track view.

New regional trend lines provide the ability to create a regional NCT line and quickly apply it to multiple wells in a field. This also provides the ability to perform cross-well analysis.

Lithology column enhancements including new lithology columns based on Energistics standards (formation symbols and colors) and the ability to incorporate custom lithology columns.

Support for horizontal/upward drilling well paths based on MD data that provides continued pressure analysis for development and production wells that are highly deviated or make sinusoidal curves through different formations.

Pick lithology using multiple criteria including cross plots and cutoffs/criteria on a depth basis.

Cross plot enhancements including: o Display of standard lithology curves providing defaults for formations. o Cross plot:

Acoustic vs. density Acoustic vs. neutron porosity Neutron porosity vs. density


40

o The ability to pick lithology from the cross plot using rectangle or polygon selection tools and to create a dataset.

Enhancements to Drillworks Uncertainty Analysis including:

o The option to have the same resolution as the input reference dataset. A depth interval option has been added allowing the user to specify a depth range and use an equal depth interval or the full depth range of any curve that was used in the analysis for the reference depth.

o Simulation for additional inputs for pore pressure methods: For Eaton pore pressure methods, simulation for the porosity trend input For Bowers methods, simulation for mudline sonic/velocity inputs For Miller methods, simulation for mudline and matrix sonic/velocity inputs For OBG, RHOB datasets including considering water density and density

at the mudline when calculating the simulation’s probability distribution For the Normal trend option with Eaton methods simulation with

Normal/Log normal distribution types, the distribution parameter type has been limited to “Specify a mean dataset and bounds (%)” if the NCT datasets or Line groups are small datasets with less than nine data points.

o When filtering datasets, there is a new option to calculate the standard deviation and output as a dataset which can be used for uncertainty analysis.

o Uncertainty analysis for fracture gradient calculations (Eaton and Matthews and Kelly Methods).

Enhanced normal compaction trend (NCT) lines allowing the user to specify and display trend shifts for different formations. Using the Edit Special > Advanced Edit feature, the user can enter depth based trend shifts and add/edit the fitting parameters for calculating pore pressure with Bowers (parameters A and B) and Miller (parameter Lambda) NCT methods.

Display and export calculated vertical sections. In the Well Survey Data table, the user can input the plane azimuth and the vertical section will be calculated, stored and displayed in the table. It can then be displayed on the track view or exported with the survey data.

For minimum horizontal stress gradient (ShG) analysis calculations with a poro-elastic model on Step 3, the minimum and maximum calibration factors can now be zero.

For maximum horizontal stress gradient (SHG) analysis calculations Step 4, the label Tectonic factor (previously k) and the formula that shows how it will be applied have been added.

For shear failure stress (SFG) and elastic fracture initiation pressure analysis calculations Step 4, the label Tectonic factor (previously k) has been added.

For fracture gradient analysis with Breckles and Van Eckelen’s Method Step 3, a weighting factor with a default value of 0.46 is now displayed and editable.

Support for a variety of additional geographic or projected coordinate systems beyond WGS 84 and UTM for project and well properties. When viewed on the Drillworks Explorer or Drillworks project map, well locations can be converted on-the-fly to match the coordinate system of the map.

15.3 Software Problem Report

If you suspect a program problem, we ask that you submit a Software Problem Report (SPR). Please login to our customer support site on www.knowsys.com and submit a problem report online. It is best to be as specific as possible in describing the problem. Please take the time to try to reproduce the problem before reporting it because some problems are random and/or transient. Describe the sequence of events which led to the problem occurrence and provide as much contextual information as possible. It is helpful to attach or email a screen capture or additional documentation on the problem.

15.4 Software Suggestions and Customer Advisory Board In some cases, the problem is not with the program operation, but rather with the design of the program. Perhaps a feature is missing which needs to be included or a feature is implemented in a way that can be improved. In these cases, submit suggestions for changes by email to [email protected] or on the Customer Advisory Board web site. Please be specific in stating the need for the change including how the change will benefit you. Email or submit your suggestions early so that the changes can be planned and possibly included in the next release of the product. Customer Advisory Board (CAB) Knowledge Systems’ Customer Advisory Board (CAB) program is designed to allow our software users to voice their needs and to work with our staff in a format that can provide tremendous benefits. The CAB provides a unique opportunity for you to learn about new directions in software development, interface with our product and development teams, provide your feedback into future releases, and interact with colleagues. The CAB web site and forums allow you to provide suggestions for what you would like to see in Knowledge Systems’ software and share ideas with other users.
