Introduction: The concept of well planning vary within drilling industry but the end result
should be a safely drilled, minimum cost hole that satisfies the reservoir engineer’s
requirements for the production of the fluids.
Type of the Wells:

 Wild Cat - First well tried in the field without any knowledge of the geological
formations and nature of the fluid.
 Exploratory Wells - With the information obtained after drilling a Wild Cat, further
exploration of the field by drilling more wells.
 Development Wells - Well drilled with fixed and known reservoir boundary.
 Re-Entry Wells - Drilled for the Correction of well profile
1. Injection wells. 2. Production wells. 3. Fire fighting wells.
4. Tester wells. 5. Vertical wells. 6. Directional wells.
7. Horizontal wells. 8. Monitor wells. 9. Relief wells. 10. Dead wells.

Offset Well Selection:

i. to develop an understanding of the expected drilling geology.
ii. to define fault block structure to help selected offset wells that should be similar in
nature to the prospect well.
iii. to identify geological anomalies, may be encountered in drilling the prospect well.
Data Source and Data:

Source of the data should be available for the virtually every well drilled in the field. The
wildcats can also be source of seismic data and pore pressure prediction. Common type of
data required by well planners’ are-
Bit records mud records mud logging records
IADC drilling reports scout tickets log headers
Production history seismic studies well surveys
Geological contours data base service company files
Data Sources:
Bit records: It contains data relative to the actual drilling operation-
Operator Contractor rig number
Well location drill string characteristics pump data
Spudding date drilling in and casing wise drilling out
Bits: Number, type & jet sizes footage and drilling rate WOB &RPM
Hole deviation Pump data mud properties
Drilling Analysis: Bit records can be useful to prepare the plots for detecting lithology, Pore
pressure and cost per foot drilling. A cost comparison of each bit run identifies the bit and
operating conditions yielding minimum drilling cost.

Mud Records: Drilling mud records are prepared on daily basis in which borehole conditions
can be inferred. It contains –
Well depth bit size and number pit volume
Pump data solid control equipment drill string data
Mud weight pH funnel viscosity
Plastic viscosity yield point gel strength
Chloride ion content calcium content solid content
Cat-ion exchange capacity fluid loss solid content
An analysis of the plots in the offset areas surrounding the prospect well can provide the
following information-
- Expected drilling times for various intervals.
- Identification of better drilling conditions by examining the lowest drilling times in the
offset wells.
- Location of potential zones by comparing common difficulties in the well.

EMW) Ph = (EMW) Pf + 0.8 ppg
0.3 ppg for Swabbing and Surge margin 0.3 ppg for Trip margin 0.2 safety margin
IADC Report: The drilling contractors usually maintain daily log of the drilling operations,
recorded on the standard IADC-API report. It contains hourly report for drilling operations,
drill string characteristics, mud properties, and time break-down for all operations.
Scout Tickets: Current scout ticket a brief summary of the well. The data usually include-
- Well name, location and operator.
- Spud and completion dates.
- Casing geometries and cement volumes.
- Production test data
- Completion information
- Tops of various geological zones.
Mud Logging Records: A mud log is a sequential record of the drilling, mud, and formation
parameters. The drilling parameters included in mud logging are-
Penetration rate Bit weight and rotary speed. Bit number and type.
Rotary torque Mud temperature Chloride ion content
Gas content Lithology
Pore Pressure analysis:
The pore pressure can be computed from models such as the d-exponent or other
proprietary equations or can be measured by drill stem tests.
Log Headers: A log header can yield useful drilling data. It yield following-
Logging depths mud weight and viscosity at each logging depth
Bit sizes inferred casing sizes and actual setting depths.
Production History: Production records in the offset area can provide clues to problems that
may be encountered to the prospect well. Oil and gas production can reduce the formation
pressure, which can create differential pipe sticking in the prospect well. Production records
provide pressure data from the flowing zones.
Seismic Studies: Rank wildcat wells are seldom drilled without preliminary seismic work
being done in the area. Proper analysis of the seismic reflections can eliminate the wildcat
status of the well by predicting the pore pressure to be encountered. Good agreement can be
attained between seismic analysis and sonic log data.
Casing Selection and Setting Depth: First design task in preparing the well plan is selecting
the depths to which the casing will be run and cemented. Drilling environments often require
several casing string in order to reach the total depth like-
Drive or Conductor casing Surface casing Intermediate casing
Production casing liners Tubing and flow lines

GEOTECHNICAL ORDER
The first step in drilling the exploratory well, as far as the well site geologist is
concerned, is the well programming i.e. what is likely to be encountered. The programming
furnishes the guide for everyone concerned in the drilling of the well.
The well programming is highly important to the geologist working at the site. The
geologist is the only one who can anticipate where fresh water sands occur, which must be
protected from contamination. He should attempt to estimate where he expects to core and
what zones may merit drill stem testing etc.
At first consideration some of this information may appear almost impossible to

determine. However, if other test wells have been drilled in the area and information is
available on them, most of the estimates can be made after careful scrutiny of these records.
The geologist’s knowledge of the section to be penetrated, even if based on surface
exposures, is most helpful. Surface, isopachous, palaeographic and topographic maps all
furnish information and guidelines. The well programme furnishes a preliminary pattern,
always subject to alteration, but absolutely necessary in operation.
An effective well programming before undertaking an exploratory well is a must, as

this serves as a guide to the geologists, drillers and chemists, etc., actually sitting on the well.
This programming of a well which covers all geological and technical data and guides the
course of the well, is termed as ‘Geotechnical Order’ and is jointly prepared by the geologist,
driller, and chemist.
The geological part of the Geo-Technical Order (GTO), as it is called incorporates the
expected lithological sequence and stratigraphy reservoirs (principal and secondary),
proposed coring intervals, geophysical surveys (logging, RFT, etc) policy on collection of drill
cuttings, zones of probable caving and loss, expected oil and gas shows, formation
temperature and pressure.
It also includes the recommended mud programme showing details of mud

parameters to be maintained at different intervals. The casing policy depending upon the
geological nature of the rocks, depth of the well and technical problems likely to be faced, is
decided, jointly by the geologist and driller in charge. The technical data of the GTO, which is
prepared by drilling engineers, specifies the drilling policy, under appropriate head. A forecast
of drilling time is also added as a curve, taking into consideration all the operations proposed
to be carried out in the well. Other miscellaneous data like location, elevation, water depths,
equipment specifications, etc., are accordingly incorporated in the geotechnical order, thus
prepared.
The GTO furnishes the guide to everyone connected with the drilling of the well. It
thus provides a guideline and work plan and can be modified if and when required, by the
concerned persons of this programme, as per the actual well conditions and necessities.

Geological Data Required for Preparation of the Geo-Technical Order

The collection of surface, sub-surface and geophysical data has no geologic value,
whatsoever, until the whole data is compiled, recorded, classified, studied, and interpreted.
The first task of the geologist is to work out the stratigraphic section in detail. This includes
the correlation of sedimentary units, their probable age and the recognition of unconformities
of prominent seismic markers. As far as possible all the three types of stratigraphic units –
lithogenetic or rock units, bio-stratigraphic or faunal units, time stratigraphic units or time rock
unit may be incorporated in the GTO. The distinction among these three approaches must be
kept in mind while making the GTO.
The top and bottom of a formation or unit can be taken from structure contour maps.
Any possible thinning or thickening of a formation or unit due to facies change or to tectonic
activity, is to be also reflected in GTO. All the prominent seismic markers, lithological break,
etc, say for example, coal marker, should be invariably incorporated in the GTO. All the
reservoir rocks, their lithology, should be clearly indicated in the GTO, while showing such
rocks.
One should not forget that without the presence of cap rock, entrapment of petroleum
is not possible unless it is influenced by some other factors. Dip of the formation and
presence of faults, if available, must be kept in mind while making the GTO, specially
evidence of faulting which must be clearly brought out, as this may lead to technical
complications in the well and as such forewarning, if feasible, is necessary.
For making GTOs of development wells, the actual information obtained during
drilling of nearby wells, is to be incorporated. The probable oil-water contact and/or gas-oil
contact should also be incorporated as far as possible for development wells. All the
producing pay horizons should be indicated in measured depth as well as in true vertical
depth (in case of inclined wells). This can be done with the help of a well plan and section
provided by directional driller. The desired horizontal drift, maximum angle, desired direction
and maximum permissible limit of the target, must be clearly shown in the GTO.
The following sections/logs/maps can be utilised for the preparation of Geo-Technical Order.
a) Seismic maps and sections with prominent marker.
(i) a reliable continuity throughout the area
(ii) distinctive geophysical characteristics
(iii) a sharp differentiation from the surrounding media
(iv) They must also be clearly traceable on standard electric logs and should
be associable with stratigraphic boundaries, or paleontological
demarcation. If they possess distinctive geophysical characteristics and
are related to stratigraphic boundaries, they are termed ‘Stratigraphic’
marker horizon.
b) Standard, Radioactive and Calliper logs of nearby drilled wells.
c) Correlation of well logs of nearby drilled wells.
d) Geological section
e) Structure contour map on top and bottom of different horizons.
f) Isopach map of different horizons
g) Basement configuration map
The various field and laboratory reports should also be consulted while drawing the
palaeontological age boundaries and lithological column.
Scheduled coring programme is indicated in the GTO, but the wellsite geologist can
decide the exact depth and length of core required, depending upon the situation. If the
interesting horizons are not evaluated or poorly evaluated by conventional cores, the side wall
cores can be taken, depending upon the hole conditions.
13
Electro logging programme is generally made in consultation with loggers. However,

if the well site geologist feels appropriate, he can change the depth of logging. The RFT,
velocity shooting or other geophysical operations can also be incorporated in the GTO,
depending upon the necessity.
The sample collection is generally done at 5 metre interval. However, if any

interesting zone is likely to be encountered, this intervals can be reduced to 3 metres. In case,
necessity arises, it can be further cut down to even 1 metre. In development wells the sample
collection interval is five metres in the pay zone section while no sample collection is
recommended for the shale and non-reservoir section because of the data being well known.
Expected oil and/or gas shows should be indicated against interesting reservoir rocks.
The expected formation pressure and temperature should be clearly indicated with
the help of nearby well data. However, in the absence of nearby well data, the data may be
assumed with the nearest possible area and the mud parameters, especially the mud density
to be given, keeping the safety factor in consideration.
The projected depth indicated in the GTO is to be always taken as tentative and is
subject to changes depending upon the geological requirements and well behaviour, etc. In
case of any complications, necessary modifications are to be made accordingly, after
discussing with the concerned signatories and sections concerned.
