1 Introduction

Introduction:

Complete new Well creation after Geonext software Set-up

First step:

In launcher screen menu the Text “Field RT: Not Defined ” is present on the screen

The first step for the operator is to create a new Field, a new Well, and a new Well bore;
choosing the Field-Well-info icon.

Note : Do not choose Rig builder icon at this point an error message will appear

2 Edit, add Field

Field Well Info Software :

Double Click on the Field-Well-Info icon

The next screen appears

On the V2MLG business name, right click to add a Field

For System of coordinates four options are available:

UTM : Universal Transverse Mercator

UTM is a metric system with many advantages over angular coordinates.

Almost all large-scale USGS maps have UTM markings for quick and
accurate position readings.

UTM divides the earth into 60 zones of 6 degrees longitude each, and then
into a rectangular grid within each zone.

The middle of the Golden Gate bridge translates to UTM zone 10 S,

0545980 meters "Easting" by 4185742 meters "Northing", or "UTM 10S
0545980E 4185742N".

With UTM you can measure distance, shape, and area, with 0.04% or less
distortion. To achieve this, the grid allows a slight tilt from True North, but
this "UTM grid declination" is only a few degrees, at most.

The map here has UTM grid lines every kilometer. You may also notice a
slight "Grid Declination" of 29 minutes - about 1/2 degree. As usual, the
North Arrows exaggerate the "GN" angle.

Angular coordinates are preferable to UTM on small-scale maps of very

large areas.

CARTESIAN/GEOGRAPHIC

Geographic/Geocentric Conversions
Latitude, , and Longitude, , in terms of Geographic Coordinate System
may be expressed in terms of a geocentric (earth-centered) cartesian
coordinate system (X, Y, Z) with the Z axis corresponding with the Polar
axis positive northwards, the X axis through the intersection of the
Greenwich meridian and equator, and the Y axis through the intersection of
the equator with longitude 90°E.
Geocentric coordinate systems are conventionally taken to be defined with
the X axis through the intersection of the Greenwich meridian and equator.
This requires that the equivalent geographic coordinate system is based on
the Greenwich meridian. In application of the formulas below, geographic
coordinate systems based on a non-Greenwich prime meridian should first
be transformed to their Greenwich equivalent.

Lambert Conic Conformal Projection (-Jl -JL)

This conic projection was designed by Lambert (1772) and has been used
extensively for mapping of regions with predominantly east-west
orientation, just like the Albers projection. Unlike the Albers projection,
Lambert's conformal projection is not equal-area. The parallels are arcs of
circles with a common origin, and meridians are the equally spaced radii of
these circles. As with Albers projection, it is only the two standard parallels
that are distortion-free. To select this projection in GMT you must provide
the same information as for the Albers projection, i.e.
Longitude and latitude of the projection center
Two standard parallels
Map scale in inch/degree or 1:xxxxx notation (-Jl), or map width (-JL)

The last options is made to define the projection system in use

Clarke ellipsoid:

Alexander R. Clarke, British geodesist, whose 1866 spheroid was the

standard Earth spheroid for a very long time
Mathematically, a reference ellipsoid is usually an oblate (flattened)
spheroid with two different axes: an equatorial radius (the semi-major axis
a), and a polar radius (the semi-minor axis b). The polar axis here is the
same as the rotational axis, and is not the magnetic or orbital pole. The
geometric center of the ellipsoid is placed at the center of mass of the
body being modeled, and not the barycenter in a multi-body system
Co-ordinates
A primary use of reference ellipsoids is to serve as a basis for a
co-ordinate system of latitude (north/south), longitude (east/west), and
elevation (height). For this purpose it is necessary to identify a zero
meridian, which for Earth is usually the Prime Meridian.. It is possible for
many different co-ordinate systems to be defined upon the same reference
ellipsoid.
The longitude measures the rotational angle between the zero meridian
and the measured point. By convention for the Earth, Moon, and Sun it is
expressed as degrees ranging from -180° to +180°.
The latitude measures how close to the poles or equator a point is along a
meridian, and is represented as angle from -90° to +90°, where 0° is the
equator. The common or geographic latitude is the angle between the
equatorial plane and a line that is normal to the reference ellipsoid.
Depending on the flattening, it may be slightly different than the geocentric
latitude, which is the angle between the equatorial plane and a line from
the center of the ellipsoid.

Enter the name, the short name of the well.

Enter the well type (drilling)

Enter the well type (completion) and choose if it’s an injector or producer well.

Enter the Depth reference: (MSL acronym mean Measured Sea Level)

Enter the value of Magnetic Declination. And Convergence

What is True North, Magnetic North, and Grid North? True North (TN): the direction of the
meridian to the North Pole at any point on the map. Magnetic North (MN): the direction of the
Magnetic North Pole as shown on a compass free from error or disturbance. Grid North: the
northern direction of the north-south grid lines on a map.
Magnetic Declination: the angle between magnetic north and true north at any point. Sometimes
the term Magnetic Variation is used and this is mainly on Nautical and Aeronautical Charts.
Normally, however, magnetic variation is taken to refer to regular or irregular changes with time of
the magnetic declination, dip or intensity.
Grid Convergence: the angle between grid north and true north.

Grid Magnetic Angle: this is the angle between grid north and magnetic north. This is the angle
required for conversion of grid bearings to magnetic bearings or vice versa.
Annual Magnetic Change: the amount by which the magnetic declination changes annually
because of the change in position of the magnetic north pole.
The diagram used on the sheet to show this information is illustrated below:

Warning !!!
The “Z” value must be negative or equal to Zero value. If you enter a positive value, the
field concerned appears in red color. See the example below:

The Target radius in case of deviated well depends of the circle of uncertainty. The circle
of uncertainty can be generated by first recalculating a directional survey with tolerances
of inclination and azimuth added to the values of inclination and azimuth of the original
