Introduction to DEAP DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual
System Overview
Introduction
DEAP is an acronym for Drilling Engineering Applications Platform, and
was designed to be a management system for drilling engineering data.
Users at the wellsite and in the office can use the system to:
• Generate daily reports
• Monitor the progress of the site
• Maintain inventories
• Provide historical profiles of well parameters and operating
parameters
• Run “what-if” simulations
• Run a wide variety of drilling engineering applications
• Monitor costs
• Plan operations at new sites.
System Architecture
The DEAP system consists of the software platform, the DEAP database
and a number of applications packages.
The basic system comes with a standard set of applications, but users can
install additional proprietary DEAP applications or they can use custom-
written applications. This modular approach allows the system to be
tailored to local requirements.

DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual Introduction to DEAP
Software Platform
The software platform acts as an interface between the user, the DEAP
database and the applications. It gives the user access to the applications
and manages the flow of data to and from the DEAP database.
DEAP Database
The DEAP database holds information about the rig, the rig inventory, the
well under development, offset wells and other wells within the same
geographical area. The database can also be loaded with data from similar
wells world-wide, if necessary. Other information enters the database via
the applications running on the platform or via the DATA REPLICATION
mechanism.
The database is managed by the software platform and can only be
accessed directly by the database administrator. All incoming data is
validated before being written into the database.
Applications
The choice of applications installed on any particular DEAP system will
depend on the activities planned for the facility. An isolated exploration
facility may only need the company man’s system installed, whereas a
large development installation would have the full range of engineering
applications.
Applications are modified dynamically to suit the nature of the rig and the
task in hand. This means that the user is only asked for the minimum of
data necessary to carry out the task.
Views of the DEAP System

Users only have access to such applications and items of data as are
relevant to their work; the applications and data form the user’s view of the
system.
The DEAP system determines the user’s access privileges at login. Those
applications to which the user has access will be presented in the menus on
the application launcher.
In addition to the applications privileges, the system also takes account of
objects which have been designated “tight”; a user may have full access to
an application, but may not be permitted to see or use data about a tight
object. The database administrator controls tight object access privileges.
Access is controlled by a system of passwords which the Database
Administrator can modify to suit local operating conditions and practices.
Reference Guide 1-3

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
On the rig, passwords are allocated to a job title and not to an individual, so
holders of a job title must inform their successors of the password before
they leave their post. In town, however, each user will be allocated a
personal password.
Units and Conversion between Different Systems

Throughout the DEAP applications, choices of units are available wherever
appropriate. Values can be entered in one unit system and then converted
into their corresponding values in another by choosing an option from a
pop-up menu. Alternatively, the units can be selected before data is
entered.
The default unit conversion (DUC) application enables users to specify the
unit system which should be used for each dimension: lengths, diameters,
weights, forces and so on. There are no restrictions on the combinations of
units.
Each user is allocated a default unit conversion set, the set can be copied
from the default set for the facility or from another user, and then modified
to suit personal preferences.
Automatic Data Validation

Before data from the applications is passed to the database, it is checked to
make sure that it is within acceptable limits and that it is consistent with
data entered elsewhere.
If any of the data is unacceptable, an error box giving details of the
problem will appear so that the user can return to the appropriate section
and correct the values before running the application again.
Data Replication
This is one of the most important functions performed by the DEAP
system, although the user at the wellsite or in the office is unlikely to be
aware of it happening.
In order to ensure that users at the well site can have access to current
planning and initialization information and users in the office can access
current operational information and any wellsite changes which have been
made to the planning and initialization information, data must be
transferred between the office and the wellsite quite frequently.
Normally the replication program is run automatically in the office. Some
sites will run replication once a day in order to coincide with the time at
which the daily report is due in the office while others will run replication
more frequently, for example once an hour in order to allow office users to
see data shortly after it is entered at the wellsite.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
The replication program contacts each wellsite in turn and copies to the
wellsite database all planning and initialization data changes made in the
office since the last time the program was run. It then copies to the office
database all operational, planning and initialization data changes made at
the wellsite.

Operational Data
Planning Data Sent Back to the Office from the Rigs
Normally there is no need for staff to intervene in the process. A nominated

user or a member of the DEAP support team will receive electronic
messages informing them of the current status of the replication program.
There is a DBA utility which allows the replication program to be run on
demand for situations where the data must get to/from the wellsite quickly.
An additional DBA utility can be used to browse the list of outstanding
changes at a site and to alter the replication configuration.
If no data communications link can be created between the office and the
wellsite then the data can be copied to a file and then carried on disk or tape
between the two sites. Once it has reached the destination site it can be
loaded into the system there.
Operational data is considered to be the data which is normally created at
the wellsite. It includes data created via the casing, cement, bit/BHA, cost
tracking, drilling fluids, progress log and formation integrity test
applications.
Reference Guide 1-5

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Planning and initialization data is the data which is normally created in the
office. It includes data created via the well initialization, rig initialization,
program initialization and activity and cost planning applications.
Note: A change made in the office, affecting the casing data for
a well, will not be sent back to the wellsite because casing
data is operational data and is not replicated from the
office to the wellsites.
DEAP Basics
This section describes the functions and operation of the various controls
the user will meet while using the DEAP system. The operation of the
system is intended to be as intuitive as possible, but users may be
unfamiliar with some of the special features of DEAP applications.
Data Entry Tools
The Mouse Pointer and the Data Entry Cursor

The mouse pointer (arrow-shaped pointer) is used for pointing at objects
and selecting them; the data entry cursor (shaped like an I-beam) is used to
indicate the point at which data will be inserted.
Push Button Types

Several types of push buttons are used in DEAP windows. Some of them
turn options on and off, some of them invoke menus from which options
can be selected, some invoke new windows and some instruct the system to
carry out an action.
Where a button’s function is either unavailable or inappropriate, its caption
will be greyed out and the button will be insensitive.
Toggle Buttons
Square toggle buttons turn options on and off.
The DEAP convention is that when a button is pressed in, its color will
change indicating that the option is selected. Where several options are
available, any number may be selected.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Radio Buttons
Diamond shaped radio buttons allow only one option to be selected from
several. When a new choice is made, the original choice will be de-
selected.
The DEAP convention is that when a button is pressed in, its color will
change indicating that the option is selected.
In some circumstances, it may be permissible to leave all of the buttons
unselected. When it is not permissible, the application will warn the user as
soon as the window’s APPLY or SAVE button is pressed.

To make the use of the system as intuitive as possible, DEAP uses the
following conventions for push buttons:
Figure 1-5
Standard
Push Button
Designs a b c
(a) By pressing one of these buttons, the user invokes a menu of
options. An option is selected by dragging the cursor down the list
and releasing the mouse button when the required option is
depressed.
(b) Buttons whose captions are followed by three dots invoke new
windows. The function of the new window will be as stated on the
button.
(c) These buttons instruct the system to carry out an action
immediately. For simplicity of operation, buttons have the standard
functions described in the following list.
This means that they always have the same effect throughout the
DEAP applications. For this reason, they will not be described
elsewhere in the user manual.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
DEAP Push Button Functions

• ADD Add a new row to the bottom of the current table.
• APPLY Accept the displayed values and selections and start
processing if appropriate. The window will remain
open after the APPLY button has been clicked.
APPLY does not send the values used in the
application to the database (see SAVE).
• CANCEL Abort a course of action. Close the current window and
return the user to the parent window. CANCEL usually
accompanies a warning message.
• CLOSE Prompt the user to apply any unapplied data and then
close the window. Any data that has not been applied
will be lost.
• COPY Duplicate the selected object.
• DELETE Remove the current line from a table of data entries.
• EXIT Leave the current application; any unsaved data will be
lost.
• HELP Display help pages about the current application or
sub-application.
• INFO… Show the licence details, version numbers, etc, of the
application.
• INSERT Insert a new line above the current one in a table of
data entries.
• NEXT Display the next set of values for an item (if
appropriate).
• OK Accept the displayed values and selections and start
processing. Close the current window and return the
user to the parent window.
• PREVIOUS Display the previous set of values for an item (if
appropriate).
• RESET Return all settings and values to the state they were in
when the window was opened.
• SAVE Copy a complete set of values from an application into
the database.
• UNDO Restore the previous value or setting to the most
recently changed text field.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Pick Lists
Description
A pick list holds valid entries for the adjacent text field. When the list is
particularly long, the window will be provided with a scroll bar.
The user can move rapidly to the beginning of a section of the list by typing
in the first character(s) of the required entry.
A selection is made by clicking on the entry once and then clicking on the
OK button. In some circumstances, for instance when an entirely new
object is being added, DEAP applications will permit the entry of data
directly into the text field.

Scroll bars
Scroll bars are used for movement through horizontal and vertical fields of
data. An example would be a table, some of whose rows and columns were
beyond the boundaries of the window. Such a window would have both
horizontal and vertical scroll bars.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Data Entry
Mandatory Text Fields

When the description of a subject would be incomplete without an item of
data, that item is said to be mandatory.
If the user attempts to save or apply a set of data from which a mandatory
item is missing, the system will display a warning dialogue box which
names the missing item and prompts the user to enter it before attempting
to save or apply again.
Some applications contain sets of text fields which describe a subject — an
item of rig equipment for instance. If there is no such item on the rig, then
all of the fields can be left blank.
If, however, any of the text fields contains an entry, the application will
assume that the item is going to be described and that all of the other text
fields should be mandatory. Once a description has been started, it must be
completed.
Movement between Data Entry Fields

The data entry cursor can be moved between the data entry fields within an
application either by positioning it with the mouse or by the use of the
following keys:
• Tab next field
• Shift +Tab previous field
Movement within a Data Entry Box

The cursor can be positioned within a data entry box either by moving the
mouse pointer to the required position and clicking, or by using the cursor
movement keys once the cursor is in the box.
Catalogs
Catalogs have been built into the system to simplify data entry. They
provide a simple description of a component which may encapsulate a
large body of technical detail.
Not all of the details may be displayed by the application which invoked
the catalog. However, when another application registers that a particular
catalog item has been selected, it may access further data about that item. If
the user has entered data manually, rather than through the use of a catalog,
the extra data will not be present in the second application.
The use of catalogs is recommended wherever possible.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Catalogs will be maintained by the database administrator, who will add or

delete items when necessary. Items can be deleted without affecting
existing entries which call them.
Database Operations
Applying and Saving

Any change made to data must be saved if it is to become permanent. This
holds for additions, modifications and deletions.
Many DEAP activities involve building up sets of data and storing them in
the database. Subsets of the data are moved (applied) to a temporary
storage area while the complete data set is being built up.
When data entry is complete, the user must store the data permanently in
the database by saving it. If the data is not saved, it will be lost when the
application is closed.
Some windows in the DEAP system are provided with APPLY buttons and
some are provided with SAVE buttons — a few even contain both. APPLY
corresponds to the end of a phase of the data gathering process; SAVE
instructs the DEAP system to store all of the applied data in the database
where it may be accessed by other applications and other users.
Deleting
When the user has instructed the system to delete an item, the change in the
data set must be saved to the database. If it is not, the item will still be held
there and will re-appear when the data set is next used. In this instance, the
user may find it helpful to think in terms of saving changes in data to the
database rather than saving data to it.
Closing
If the CLOSE button is pressed before data has been saved to the database,
a warning dialogue box will always be displayed, informing the user that
changes have been made which will be lost if the user chooses to continue
with the CLOSE operation. The option to return to the application and save
the data will always be provided.
Exiting
The EXIT button should be used to leave an application and to return to the
application launcher. A message dialogue box will always be displayed to
confirm that the user does wish to exit the application.
Reference Guide 1-11

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Units
Throughout the DEAP system the user will find that many numerical text
entry fields have a pop-up menu button displayed nearby, for specifying
units.
Figure 1-8
Typical Units Menu
Button
The pop-up menu is used to select between the default set of units available
for that text field. The units can be changed by dragging the mouse pointer
down the menu to the required unit system and releasing the button. Any
quantity which had been entered in the text field will be converted to its
corresponding value in the new units.
Since unit selection menus appear virtually everywhere in the system, they
will not be mentioned elsewhere in the manual, except in special cases.
Message Dialog Boxes

Some dialog boxes display messages to warn that an action will have an
effect on the data and to give the user choices about how to proceed:
CANCEL — close the dialog box and return the user to the window from
which the procedure started, without data loss or any change in settings.
OK — accept the current values or settings, then close the window.
CONTINUE — continue with the action described in the dialog box.
HELP — call up the DEAP help system.
CLOSE Message Box

When a user clicks on the CLOSE button from within an application but
has not yet applied or saved the data, a dialog box such as that illustrated
here will be displayed.

The message displayed will indicate which field is incomplete. If more

than one data item has been omitted, the system will display the name of
the first item, progressing to the others as necessary when the user next
tries to APPLY from that window.
The default OK button will take the user back to the application screen, to
enter data in the appropriate field or fields and then select APPLY.

Application Launcher
The DEAP application launcher is the starting point for all work in the
DEAP system.
Figure 1-13: Application Launcher Window
Logging in to the System
Figure 1-14
DEAP Login
Window
Before the user can open any applications, the launcher must be invoked
and supplied with the user’s name and password. DEAP will carry out
checks to see that the user has access rights to the system.
Once these checks have been passed, the system will refer to the database
to see which applications will be available to the user. The available
applications can then be selected from a pick list. While the applications
are being run, the launcher window will remain open.
For security reasons the password field will be obscured while the user’s
password is being entered.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
User Defaults
User defaults is a common window, accessible from the majority of
applications. The title bar will display the name of the application from
which this window was called.
Figure 1-15
User
Defaults
When the DEAP system is being used for the first time, the database will
be empty and no subjects will be available for selection as user defaults.
Subjects are described by using the well initialization application and then,
once they have been saved, they can be accessed via the user defaults
window. While it is not essential to enter all of the details, a subject’s
description must include a program.
User Default Data Fields

Each user has a personal set of defaults which are loaded at login. The
defaults specify an object of interest — usually a well — in terms of
COUNTRY, AREA (where appropriate), FIELD, FACILITY, WELL and
PROGRAM. Other settings include operational mode on or off, a system
printer and a system plotter.
The OFFSET WELL pick list button has been included to provide a “short-
cut” facility, allowing the user to move from one well to another which has
been allocated as its offset well without having to change the FIELD,
FACILITY and WELL fields individually. (See the chapter on Offset Well
Allocation for further background on this.)
Users who are in the process of planning or modeling a well may find this
useful, since it allows them to switch backwards and forwards from well to
well easily. Using this function, comparisons between costs and times of
wells can also be made easier.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Setting User Defaults

The user defaults window enables the user to specify the defaults either for
the current session only or for all future sessions until the defaults are next
changed.
APPLY button — allows the user to make any changes to the default
settings valid for the current session only. This option might be used if the
user wanted to check on similar operations carried out on a well at a
different location to the current well, for example.
These defaults will only affect the current session and will automatically
reset to the original defaults on exit from the application.
SAVE — after pressing this button, a message box will be displayed
warning that the existing user defaults will be overwritten if the user
proceeds with the save operation (see below).
Figure 1-16
User Defaults
Warning
Dialog Box
The default settings apply immediately to the application from which the
user defaults window was invoked, and to all other applications as they are
opened.
If a user is running two applications at once, the default settings in one will
not be affected if the user changes the default settings in the other.
Note: Only users given sufficient access privileges by the

database administrator will be able to change the UNITS
setting on the user defaults window.
Time And Date Window

Settings for the year, the month, the day number, hours and minutes can be
adjusted via this window. When the time has been incremented past 23:59,
or decremented past 00:00, the day number will be adjusted accordingly, so
the user should re-check the day number setting before closing.
The up and down pairs of arrows at the left and right hand ends of the
TIME section adjust the hours and minutes settings respectively.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
The minute increment and decrement arrows change the time by 15

minutes with each click; if the user holds down the keyboard shift button
and clicks the minute arrows, the time will be changed by 1 minute with
each click.
Time can be entered directly by double clicking on the TIME text field and
entering values for hours and minutes, separated by a colon.

File Operations
File operations include clearing an application of data,
loading existing files and saving data under a user-
specified file name.
In certain of the applications a file menu is available from
the file icon displayed above. This menu will contain either the following
options: NEW, OPEN, SAVE, SAVE AS…, DEAP, EXIT and in some
cases RECOVER also. Only a few applications support these operations.
For explanations of the UNIX directory structure and other filing
operations, the user is referred to the DBA. For explanations of the CASE
function available in DEAP, see the separate chapter on the CASE
mechanism.
Exiting from an Application offering Filing Options

Applications which offer filing options do not have simple EXIT buttons
on their main windows. Instead, the exit option is accessed via the file icon
pop-up menu.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Using Data from the DEAP Database

Applications which provide the file icon menu allow the user to call from
the database the most recent set of operational data for the default well.
This may be found useful for running “what if” simulations.
The option to RECOVER is available on the cement placement simulator
menu. It enables the user to abandon any new simulation figures which
have been entered to the data as it was for the previous simulation.
Load, Save and Read From Data File Windows

The LOAD file and SAVE file and READ FROM DATA file windows
operate in a similar manner. The user’s first action is to select the directory
in which the file belongs; options enable the user to move up and down
through the directory structure.
Figure 1-18
Read from Data
File Window
If data is being loaded, the next step is to select a file from the directory.
When saving data, the user must either select an existing file in which to
save it or supply the name of the new file in which it is to be saved.
Four conventions are observed in DEAP file operations:
• A directory name followed by a single dot is the current directory.
• Selecting a directory name followed by two dots (e.g. /aaa/bbb/..) will
move the user up one level in the directory structure.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
• An entry selected from the directories column will become the current
directory and any files it contains will be displayed in the files column
• An asterisk (*) can replace any number of characters in a file name
during a search for a group of files.
For instance, j*.cmap would refer to all files in the current directory
whose names started with j and which carried the extension .cmap;
*.cmap would refer to all files in the current directory carrying the
extension .cmap; and * would refer to all files in the current directory.
Special Features
LOOK FOR FILES WHICH MATCH… — this text field normally
contains the name of the current directory, plus an asterisk followed by the
correct extension for data files associated with the current application.
The text field is editable so that the user can specify a pattern to which the
listed files must conform. When the user selects FILTER, the window will
display all of the files in the current directory which match the pattern.
SELECTION — normally displays the file name chosen from the
directories and files columns. However, the user can enter the full file
name (including the directory name) manually, if required.
Editing Hole And String Component Tables

Many applications in the DEAP system require the user to describe hole
geometry, drill strings, cementing strings or casing strings. The procedures
for entering data into specific tables are provided elsewhere. However, the
pop-up menus for inserting and deleting table entries are common to all
tables, so they are depicted here to avoid duplication.

Report Generator
The report generator provides a standard method of displaying reports
within all DEAP applications. Individual applications may contain report
selection windows when several different reports are available. These
windows, which invoke the report generator, are described in the sections
on the applications themselves.
The standard window, illustrated below, will appear each time the
REPORT… button is selected, when the report is in text format.

Hole Geometry And Well Geometry Definitions

To avoid confusion, the distinction DEAP makes between the geometry of
the hole and the geometry of the well itself should be made clear.
The terms “hole geometry” and “annular geometry” are used to describe
the internal walls of the innermost annular region formed by the riser,
casing, liner and hole sections in a well. The walls enclose the volume in
which drilling fluids circulate and in which assemblies are run. A
description of this region is required by many DEAP engineering
applications.

Annular geometry can be described using a combination of riser, casing,

liner and open hole sections. The shaded area in the illustration represents
the hole geometry seen while drilling out the shoe K of the deepest liner
section in a well.
The casing string BC can not be “seen,” nor can the casing and liner
lengths FG and HI and so these items do not form part of the hole
geometry. The same logic applies to the hole sections in which these casing
and liner strings are set but they are, however, still a part of the well
geometry.

DEAP Geodetic Co-ordinate Conversions

The DEAP co-ordinate conversion system will calculate scale factor and
convergence for the transverse mercator and the two standard parallel
version (2SP) of the Lambert conic conformal geodetic projection types.
Between them, these two projection types cover most oil exploration and
production areas.
BPX uses the convention that grid convergence is measured positively
clockwise from the meridian, i.e:
Convergence = True Azimuth – Grid Bearing
The opposite sign convention (Convergence = Grid Bearing – True
Azimuth) is often used in the southern hemisphere.
Areas Covered by the Transverse Mercator and Lambert Conic

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Safety And Good Engineering Practice

A number of the applications which are integral to the DEAP system may
be used in circumstances which could involve fatal injury or serious
financial loss.
Although great care has been taken to try to ensure the appropriateness and
correctness of the algorithms used, the computer software cannot be
guaranteed to be entirely free from error.
In more general terms the DEAP applications are part of a system
comprising software, hardware and operating procedures.
To minimize the risk of injury or serious financial loss, sound engineering
practice, involving training, experience and common sense should be
observed. Independent checks should be made where appropriate. If in
doubt the user should contact the expert nominated at the user’s site.
Any suggestions to improve the safe use of the system will be particularly
welcome.
BHA Nominalization
BHA nominalization is the process by which a detailed technical
description of an actual BHA is broken down into a geometrically simpler
form. The simplified version is then used in an application.
By using a nominalized BHA, application processing time may be reduced
significantly. In addition, the resulting description is consistent with the
format normally encountered in well planning.
The following elements are covered by the nominalization process
currently included in DEAP:
• Components for which there is no simulation capability are ignored
and a warning is issued.
• Components, e.g. TOTCO, which have no effect on the length or
shape of the BHA are ignored.
• No additional aggregation of components takes place.
• All DEAP BHA components are mapped to a set of application
specific components with associated dimensions and materials —
stabilizer positions are calculated to the blade centre, measured from
the bit (see below).

Default Unit Conversion
Figure 2-1
Default Unit
Conversion
The DEAP system performs calculations in SI units, but

offers the user the option of specifying the units in which
data is to be entered. The units to be used for each
dimension — length, width, density, mass, etc. — are
specified via the default unit conversion application (DUC).
A default unit conversion (DUC) set is allocated to each
privileged DEAP system user. Initially, the user will be
given the group conversion set — the site’s standard set of
units. This application enables the user to alter the set to suit
personal preferences, either by editing it or by overwriting it
with another set and then modifying it as required.
Reference Guide 2-1

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Default Unit Conversion DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual
Overview
All unit conversions are of the form: VALUE = (mSI + c)n
and are taken from the API and SPE conversion tables and the international
SI users’ conversion tables. Once a dimension’s units have been specified
via the application, the same units will be used throughout the user’s view
of the DEAP system.
Any DUC set can be copied, but users can only modify their own sets. For
data security reasons all users can view other users’ DUC sets, but cannot
change them. Each set contains records relating to the dimension the user
will encounter while using the DEAP system. A record consists of:
1. A DIMENSION — plus some dimension description text
2. A UNIT — plus some unit description text
3. A conversion algorithm, defining how a quantity is converted
from one unit system to another
4. A DECIMAL text field, specifying the number of decimal places
which should be displayed for the unit
5. A WIDTH text field, specifying the total number of characters,
including the decimal point, which should be displayed in the
text field
6. The SAVE AS text field will contain the user’s name when the
window opens. Because each user is only permitted to have one
set, this text field is not editable.
Setting Default Unit Conversions

If a privileged user does not have a DUC set, one will be created when the
SAVE button is pressed. Thereafter, when it is to be modified, the user will
select the name of the set from the SET NAME picklist.
A single SAVE will cause all modified DUC records to be copied into the
user’s set on the database. It is not necessary to save them individually.
Special Feature
PRINT — sends the current DUC set to the printer.

Altering a Pump Number

If a pump number has been entered incorrectly, it is usually possible to
enter the correct number and re-save the data. However, the system will not
permit two pumps to have the same number.
So if two pumps, say A and B, have had their numbers transposed, the user
must change pump A’s number to an unused number; correct pump B’s
number and then correct pump A’s number.

Well Initialization
This application provides the foundation upon which most

of the other DEAP applications rest. In the well
initialization data entry windows, the user defines the
relationships among fields, targets, facilities, slots, wells,
rigs and drilling programs in a strict hierarchical order.
After the new or modified data is stored in the DEAP
database, users of other applications will be able to access
relevant parts of it through the user defaults window. For
DEAP v3.0, the sidetrack functionality is fully operational.
Reference Guide 4-1

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Well Initialization DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual
Overview
The relationships among fields, targets, facilities, slots, wells, rigs and
drilling programs must be built up in a strictly hierarchical order during
well initialization, with no gaps in the hierarchy. It is impossible to allocate
a well to a facility without first allocating the facility to a field. A target
cannot be allocated to a well before the well is allocated to a facility.
When building a completely new set of relationships, the user is obliged to
follow the five steps outlined here in strict order.
1. First: define the field, its name and the blocks which it
comprises; the field’s description is completed by selecting the
mapping projection and the geodetic datum. If necessary, the
user can create a completely new field. All of this work takes
place in the field details window.
2. Second: build up a list of all of the targets in the field, together
with their locations and their boundaries. Data entry for this stage
takes place in the target location details and geological target
boundaries windows.
3. Third: begin the description of the facility by specifying its name
and type, its location and slot details. Data entry takes place in
the facility details, facility location and slot details windows. The
slot details window will be modified to suit single or multi-well
initialization.
4. Fourth: create wells and assign them to slots. Each new well
must also be given lists of fields and targets with which the
system is to associate it. These activities take place in the well
details window.
5. Fifth: specify the rig which is to carry out the drilling program
and the drilling datum details for the selected rig in the allocate
rigs and programs and drilling datum details windows.
When the hierarchy has been saved and is being modified or extended,
users are able to go straight to where the changes are needed. If a change is
made at a high level in the hierarchy, e.g. a facility or a field, the
application will update the other screens as far as is possible without
ambiguity.
For instance, if the user selects a different facility in the facility details
window, the application will be able to update the facility, field and slot
details windows, but will grey out the allocate rigs and programs and
drilling datum windows because a well must be selected before those
windows can be completed.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual Well Initialization
Technical Description
This application is used to define well details before drilling starts. It is
possible to update the information subsequently if there are any changes
while drilling (target location, for example). Special attention is given to
single wells to simplify the inputs.
Mapping Projection and Co-ordinate Conversions

The mapping projection and geodetic datum parameters used in well
initialization must match those used for the geologists’ surveys.
Projection and co-ordinate conversions are handled by the Geodetic Data
Transformation Package (GDT) v3, which was developed by BPX as a
comprehensive tool for the translation of mapping projections.
See the Introduction to DEAP for more details.
Field Details
The user can define and edit the location and the development status of a
field. Location details include country, area and block, together with the
mapping projection in use and the geodetic datum parameters. Fields may
extend over block boundaries.
Facility and Well Reference Point Definitions

The definitions cover country, area and block and the rig’s planned or
actual position, specified by either geographical or projection co-ordinates,
the facility’s name and type and the local water depth if appropriate.
Slots are described by their displacement and rotation with respect to the
facility reference point at both the drilling datum and at the well reference
point.
• At the drilling datum, slots are described by their U and V co-
ordinates, inclination, azimuth and gyro foresight bearing with
reference to survey reference north.
• At the well reference point, slots are described by their U and V co-
ordinates, distance from MSL, inclination and azimuth.
Target Details
The target details sub-application handles geographic mapping and target
allocations for single and multi-well developments. It also maintains well
details required by regulatory bodies. A range of well information reports
is available, either on screen or as hard copy.
Reference Guide 4-3

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
One or more targets for each well can be defined and edited. The center of
each target is defined as a point on a plane. The user specifies the point’s
location, its depth with respect to mean sea level, the plane’s angles of dip
and dip azimuth, and the name of the target formation.
Target boundaries can be defined in either of two ways.
• For an approximately circular target, they are defined as being on a
circle of a given radius, centered on the point and parallel to the plane.
• A target with a more complex shape, due perhaps to faults or block
boundaries, is described as an irregular polygon on the plane. The user
specifies the range and the bearing from the point of up to 16 polygon
vertices.
Referencing System
There are several possible reference points for well vertical depths; strata
from geologists’ data will be given as TVDSS, while drilled depths will be
given as TVD BRT (or RKB).

A. Mean sea level (MSL) to drilling datum

B. Well reference point (WRP)to drilling datum
C. Water depth
So that a common reference may be used, well initialization refers all

vertical depths to MSL, which is itself referred to a particular spheroid
datum.
Similarly, for measured depths, points are referred to the WRP. As this is
the absolute reference for a well, it must be chosen carefully. It is usually
the mudline or the ground level co-ordinates of the well.
The wellhead should not be used, as its position might change — during a
workover, for instance.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
The FRP (facility reference point) is used to define well positions on the
earth’s surface prior to spud in. So it should be readily accessible and
immobile for the lifetime of the facility. Other parts of the facility are
defined by offsets from the FRP, using local northings and eastings.
Co-ordinate Conversion System

Slot bays are plotted on a local grid with U and V co-ordinates, arbitrarily
chosen to fit on paper for planning purposes. The co-ordinates are
converted by a rotation and a translation into local northings and eastings
to relate them to the FRP.

On a platform installation, slot 3 is at (4,8) when viewed on the engineering

∆N = FRP distance x cos (slot bay heading, q1, + FRP rotation, q2 – 180 deg)
∆E = FRP distance x sin (slot bay heading, q1 + FRP rotation, q2 – 180 deg)
To convert the (U,V) co-ordinates to local northings and eastings, the

application performs the following calculations:
N = U cos (slot bay heading, θ1) - V sin (slot bay heading, θ2) + ∆N
E = U sin (slot bay heading, θ1) + V cos (slot bay heading, θ2) + ∆E
So, the local northings and eastings for slot 3 are:
∆N = 128.06 cos (315 + 172 –180)
= 77.068 ft
∆E = 128.06 sin (315 + 172 –180)
= – 102.273 ft
N = 4 cos 315 – 8 sin 315 + 77.068
= 85.553
E = 4 sin 315 + 8 cos 315 – 102.273
= – 99.445 ft
Impact of Slot Reference Point Definitions

The drilling datum slot reference point defines the slot positions at the
drilling datum (usually rotary table or RKB), using U and V co-ordinates.
The co-ordinates are referred to the FRP by a rotation and a translation.
The drilling datum relates the orientation and position of a well to the
drilling rig. This means that well data is independent of the rig that drilled
or worked over the well.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
By defining a slot at the drilling datum and the well reference point, the
application can handle slant rigs and wells with curved conductors.

Offsets
Offsets are specified by assuming that the observer is standing at the first
mentioned point, looking towards the second. They are positive in the
North, East and downward directions and angles are measured clockwise
from reference North.
Offsets will often be negative. For instance, the well reference point to
drilling datum offset will have a negative value if the WRP is the mudline
and the drilling datum is the rotary table.

Isolated wells are treated as single slot facilities on which the FRP may
coincide with the WRP. Defaults are provided by the application to
simplify data input.
Associated fields
The well details window in this application offers the option of building a
list of fields which are to be associated with the current well.
Fields may be associated either because they provide allocated or potential
targets for the well, or because they contain wells which may interfere with
the current well and which must be included in anti-collision scans.
The well initialization application caters for wells with more than one
target by enabling users to select a number of targets from the list of
associated fields.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Targets can be allocated at three different levels: to a facility, to a slot and a

facility, or to a well, a slot and a facility. The first two situations are
normally encountered during prospect development planning. The
accompanying illustrations show the various possible field, facility and
well combinations.

typical multi-site development, where the well trajectory has not yet been
planned to reach target (c), although the slot/target allocation is complete
for facility 1.

wells to targets (f) and (g) in field A via targets (h) and (i) respectively. So
field A must be associated with wells (h) and (i).

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Sidetrack Initialization
The sidetrack initialization module is common to both the well
initialization application and the directional drilling support system and
may be invoked from both.
It is primarily used by the Senior Engineer, the Directional Specialist and
the Project Engineer, to initialize sidetracks around fish and abandoned
sections of hole and to initialize new wells created by a sidetrack if
requested by the client. Occasionally, the Drilling Engineer, the Drilling
Foreman and the Directional Engineer may also use the application.
The main functions of the sidetrack initialization module are as follows:
• Define or re-define a sidetrack well’s kick off point
• Assign a unique name to the sidetrack
• Start a new report interval for the sidetrack
• Associate all of the relevant parent well data with the sidetrack
(casing, cement, hole and survey program data)
• Allocate a rig to the sidetrack
• Remove unwanted planned sidetracks
• Return all relevant information to the calling application
A user’s right of access to the application will be checked when it is called.
This means that access to well planning or well initialization does not
guarantee access to sidetrack initialization.
In the DEAP system, a sidetrack well has the following attributes:
• It is kicked off from an existing well
• It can provide kick off points for further sidetracks
• It is “planned”, and as such can be deleted until the point at which it is
included in a report
Sidetrack Initialization in DEAP v3.0

While all of the above remains true of DEAP v3.0, considerable
modifications have been undertaken in order to fully enable the sidetrack
functionality, support the new data exchange mechanisms in DEAP v3.0,
and to ensure compatibility between the enhanced well initialization
application and all the other DEAP applications, whose functionality is
entirely based on the data entered and saved here.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
In order that users of the earlier versions of DEAP may fully comprehend
the range and impact of the enhancements, the following general
considerations and explanations were included in this document.
General Considerations
Typically, when a well is sidetracked, one of two scenarios can occur.
• The sidetrack retains the name of the current well.
This usually occurs with short mechanical sidetracks. The abandoned
section of hole may be of considerable length and so must be taken
into account in anti-collision checks for any subsequent work in the
area. However the DDSS only handles one definitive survey per well.
The sidetrack is normally considered to be part of the work program
for the current well.
• The sidetrack acquires a new well name.
This usually occurs as a means of reaching an alternative objective, as
the original one was not as expected. Because the abandoned hole
section and sidetrack are identified as different wells, they have
separate wellbores, and so are both considered in anti collision
checks.
The new well has its own program associated with it. In earlier
versions of DEAP, this produced an artificial break in the tracking of
activities and the creation of multiple time recording and reporting
periods for what could be a continuous work program. The morning
drilling report, mud report, mud costs report, bit/BHA numbering and
costs reports all began again at zero.
In DEAP, time/depth curves and cost/depth curves are plotted for a
single program of work. Where a well is comprised of a number of
sidetracks all aimed at the original target, there was previously no
means of producing a composite time/depth plot.
Program of Work
Within DEAP’s activity model, a facility is comprised of a number of slots.
Each slot has one or more wells associated with it. A program of work is
defined for a single well and has a start and end date.
Reaching a target may be considered a program of work. In order to reach a
target one or more sidetracks may be used each with a unique wellbore.
The wellbores may be for the same well. Alternatively, the wellbore for a
sidetrack may have a different well name from the wellbore it was
sidetracked from. In either case the wellbores defined to reach a target will
be considered a single program of work.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
When a sidetrack is initiated within a work program a program interval is

created. This allows activities within a program to be associated with an
individual wellbore. The activities required for the construction of an
individual wellbore or for the whole well can thus be analyzed.
Required Updates to DEAP v3.0

So that DEAP v3.0 might be able to address the requirements generated by
these general considerations, and given the activity model already built into
the DEAP structure, the following modifications have been carried out:
• A wellbore is defined for an initial well and each associated sidetrack.
• Each wellbore has a definitive survey associated with it.
• A program of work is defined for one or more wellbores. Each
wellbore may have a different well name associated with it but will be
for the same slot.
• The unit of work for each wellbore within a program is defined as a
program interval with a start and end date.
• A wellbore has zero, one or more kick offs associated with it. A kick
off defines the wellbore a sidetrack is initiated from, the kick of point
(MD), kick off date/time and the wellbore the sidetrack initiated.
Enhancements Resulting From the v3.0 Updates to DEAP

As a result of implementing the above changes, the items listed below are
now possible:
• Activities, costs, equipment usage etc. can be tracked through a
program of work irrespective of how many well names are associated
with the program.
• A definitive survey can be maintained for a section of well that has
been abandoned, following a sidetrack where the well name has not
been changed.
• For any wellbore, reports may be generated that show a full data set
from surface to TD. The reports will encompass the structure of the
wellbore and the activities responsible for its construction. The reports
will include casing, cementation, geological make up of the wellbore,
activity sequence.
• All rigs associated with the construction of a wellbore will be
maintained. The time, depth and data offset for each visit of a rig to
the well will be maintained.
• The ability to scan all wellbores drilled from a slot where the
wellbores are for the same or different well name.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
• Where a well is composed of many mechanical sidetracks all aimed at

the original target, a composite time/costs vs. depth curve can be
produced.
• The wellbore can be classified - respud, sidetrack, extension etc.
Navigation of Wellbores TD to Surface in DEAP v3.0

The data model has been changed to facilitate the easy navigation from any
given point on a wellpath to surface. The current “target wellpath” is
defined by assuming the route to target is the last kick off point for the well
and is used as the starting point to traverse the wellbores to surface.
A combination of the kick off depths and program intervals for each
wellbore is used to identify all activities associated with the wellpath.
Slot A has program of work P

Drilling activities create the following wellbores: A - B (Well X)

Well Data Set Migration in DEAP v3.0

All well data sets within the DEAP database will require some user
analysis to identify which wells drilled from a slot should have their
programs merged. The migration path will be carried out with a view to
giving the user the immediate gains from activity analysis and report
collation.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Impact of the v3.0 Update on Other Applications

There are a number of changes to the existing applications within DEAP as
well as a migration of existing well data sets to allow for the new model
changes.
• Program Initialization application
A program of work will be created/maintained associated with a slot.
The module will allow for the creation of program intervals, each with
a start and end date which, which will be associated with a wellbore.
• Progress Log application
Progress logs will remain linked to a program. The well name display
field will change if the well name changes during a program. The well
name displayed will be the well name in use at the end of the reporting
interval.
• Daily Reports applications
Daily Reports will remain linked to a program. The well name field
will change if the well name changes during a program.
• Phase Job Allocation application
PJA will remain carried out for a program. As in Progress Logs the
well name display field will change if the well name changes during a
program.
• Performance Enquiry Tool
Reaching a defined target is achieved using a single work program.
This may be carried out using more than one well name. The process
of analysis will now allow for the activity summary for reaching the
required target to be achieved.
• Directional Drilling Support System (DDSS)
The DDSS will record a definitive survey for each well path. The anti-
collision scanning module will be able to interpret the wellpaths for
all wellbores within a given area.

The report generator can be accessed from the main window and from
many of the sub-applications. Some reports are only available from the

Navigation for New and Incomplete Subjects

When a new subject is being described, it is essential to follow the correct
sequence of data entry. This is because each new piece of data must relate
properly to the structure that has been built up already. For instance, it
would not be permissible to describe a well without first defining the field,
target and facility to which it belongs.
The completed data structure can be very complex, so it is most important
that the user enters data very carefully — particularly in the allocate rigs
and programs window, where data cannot be altered after entry.

Correct Sequence
For a completely new field, facility, etc, the order in which the windows
should be addressed is:
• Field details — to define the field’s general location and the blocks in
which it lies
• Target location details — to specify the names and locations of the
targets in the field
• Geological target boundary — to specify the boundary and orientation
of each target
• Facility details — to specify the block in which the facility lies, its
name, its type and any associated fields

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
• Facility location — to specify the precise location of the facility, its

geodetic datum and mapping projection, water depth and reference
point description
• Slot details — to specify each slot’s location and orientation with
respect to the well reference point and the drilling datum
• Well details — to specify a slot, associated fields and one or more
targets for each well
• Allocate rigs and programs — to allocate a rig to the well’s program
The geological target boundary, facility location, slot details and drilling
datum windows must be completed as the user moves through the
application. They should be regarded as mandatory continuations of their
parent windows.
Special Notes
The user is free to end a description at any point, saving the data entered
already and returning to the main window before closing the application.
It is not necessary to close each window before moving to the next one in
the hierarchy, indeed it may often be helpful to leave preceding windows
open for reference while data is being entered.
It is not necessary to complete data entry in one session, as long as the data
is saved before the session ends. In the next session, the user can go
straight to the window where work was concluded in the previous session,
re-select the subject and carry on from there. The subject can be selected
from the user defaults window if the user had progressed as far as defining
a new program before saving and leaving.
If an incomplete description has been saved to the database at the end of an
editing session, the user will not be able to select it via user defaults. In this
case, the user must proceed along the chain of windows, re-selecting the
previous settings, until the configuration is the same as it was at the end of
the earlier editing session.

The main window provides access to the main data entry windows and to
the report menu. When the relationships between the various data items are
being described for the first time, the user would normally move from one
window to the next in the sequence, without returning to the main window.
When the relationships are being edited or extended, however, the user is
free to jump directly to the appropriate window from the main window.

REPORTS —> button — provides the user with access to a range of
reports, including:
• Target Location report
• Facility Details report
• Slot Well Reference Point report
• Slot Drill Datum report
• Well Details report
• Allocated Rigs report
Some reports are only available from specific application sub-windows:,
namely:
• Report: Single Target (from geological target boundary window)
• Magnetic Declination (from magnetic declination window)
All reports selected via the main window option will refer to the user
default field, facility and well. For reports on current selections, the user is
obliged to request them from the other windows in the application.
Field Details
The field details window enables the user to create a field, to define its
development status, to build a list of the blocks which make it up and to
specify the geodetic projection and datum which are to be used for it. The
window also enables the user to delete fields and offers access to the target
location details window.

CREATE FIELD — enables the user to enter a new name in the FIELD
NAME text field.
DELETE FIELD — deletes the currently selected field.
TARGET LOCATION DETAILS…— opens the target location details
window.
Target Location Details

This window enables the user to create new targets for the field and to
remove unwanted targets.
Targets are specified by a name, a geological formation, their geographical
or projection co-ordinates and their TVDs relative to MSL. Either type of
co-ordinate data may be entered; the application will carry out a conversion
and display the equivalent values in the other system. The user must also
define a geological boundary for each target.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
To make the data entry process as simple as possible, it is suggested that

the target location details and geological target boundary windows are
opened together. However, this procedure is not mandatory; the user is free
to define and save targets and then add boundary details to them later.

Geological Target Boundary

After a geological target’s location and depth have been defined, its
boundary can be described in this window.
The user specifies the plane of the target and then describes its boundary,
either as a circle or as a polygon with up to sixteen vertices.
As soon as a circular target’s radius has been entered, the polygon vertex
table will be completed with the corresponding definition of a sixteen sided
regular polygon. If necessary, the user can edit the values in this definition
and the system will assume that a polygonal target is now intended.

Facility Details
The facility details window enables the user to create, edit and delete
facilities.
A panel in the middle of the window can be used to edit a list of fields
which are to be considered during target allocation and directional well
planning anti-collision scans. Fields in this list are called “Associated”
fields.
The user must also define the location and slot details for each facility. To
make the data entry process as simple as possible, it is suggested that these
details are added just after the facility has been created. However, this
procedure is not mandatory; the user is free to define and save facilities and
then add the other details later.

Facility Location Sub-window

Facility location can be entered in either geographical co-ordinates or
projection co-ordinates. The system will take either form, convert it and
display the corresponding values in the other form.
To avoid possible inaccuracy in other applications that may use this data, it
is advisable to select the same mapping projection and geodetic datum as
were specified for the field details.

Special features
FACILITY STATUS pop-up menu — can be set to either planned or actual
On subsequent entry to this window, actual location details will be
displayed by default if they exist, but planned details can be viewed by
selecting PLANNED from the pop-up menu.
If no location data exists at all, the system will assume that the facility
location status is PLANNED.
SURVEY REFERENCE pop-up menu — can be set to either TRUE or
GRID North; if this setting is changed after slot details have been entered,
the slot azimuths will be adjusted accordingly.
FACILITY and WELL CENTERED REFERENCING radio buttons —
select facility or well centred referencing systems.
REPORT: FACILITY DETAILS… — displays the facility details report.
Facility and Well Centered Referencing

A facility may be initialised so that all local north and east co-ordinate data
is computed and displayed with respect to the facility reference point
(FRP), irrespective of the well that is currently being worked on.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Alternatively, local co-ordinates can be shown with respect to the drilling

datum of the user’s default well. These modes are called facility and well
centred referencing and are included to meet the different working
conventions of the USA and Europe. The angular reference is taken as the
survey reference direction (true or grid north).

Slot Details Sub-window — Single Well

This window is used to specify the location and orientation of a single
well’s slot. It will appear if the user has selected a single well facility type
in the facility details window.
For a single well, the application will assume that the U and V offsets of
the slot are both zero and that inclination and azimuth are the same at the
drilling datum and the well reference point.
Figure 4-17
Slot Details —

Slot Details Sub-window — Multiple Wells

This window is used to specify the location and orientation of a number of
slots. It will appear if the user has selected a multi-well facility type in the
facility details window.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Each slot’s details are given with respect to the datum bay and to the well
reference point. Because the two sets of data will very often be identical,
the application will automatically copy entries from the slot drilling datum
text fields into the slot WRP fields and vice versa, if the corresponding
field is empty.

Special features
DELETE SLOT — deletes the currently selected slot
REPORTS–> — displays the slot details reports at drilling datum and well

Magnetic Declination Sub-window

Within DEAP, the BGS geomagnetic model is normally used for deriving
locations. However, there are areas of the world where this method is
inappropriate. In such cases it would be more appropriate to enter
measured magnetic declination details manually.
Figure 4-19
Magnetic
Declination

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Normally, variations in magnetic declinations are recorded annually and

are required to be retained for historical purposes. Within the DEAP
directional drilling support system, the survey correction calculations
require the declination to be measured at the time of the survey reading, or
as close to that time as possible.
Magnetic declination will primarily be used to derive survey locations
within the directional survey calculator, although it will also be applied
within the instrument performance modules.
The most appropriate declination for a survey is identified as the one
closest to the survey date or the most recent one prior to the survey date.
Where the date of a survey is more than a year after the most recent
declination measurement, the user will be advised that the declination is
out-of-date. Where no magnetic declination details are entered manually,
the BGS geomagnetic model will be used. In this case, no out-of-date
warnings will be issued.
Special Feature
REPORT — displays the magnetic declination report, showing the date,
magnetic declination, total field strength and magnetic dip entered in the
magnetic declination window.
Well Details
This window enables the user to create wells and to allocate targets at well,
slot or facility level. The user can also build up a list of fields which are
associated with the current well.
Figure 4-20

WELL NAME pick list — displays all of the wells assigned to the current
facility; it is unselectable when adding a new well.
SLOT pick list — displays all of the slots defined in the slot details
window; it is selectable only when a new well is being added.
ADD WELL NAME — clears the WELL NAME text field so that a new
name can be entered directly.
DELETE WELL NAME — deletes the currently selected well and de-
allocates all of its targets.
WELL HEADER DATA… — opens the well header data window. Well
header data entry is optional, it is not necessary to complete any of the
fields in the window.

FIELD – ASSOCIATE — displays a list of the fields which contain targets

or which are to be considered during directional well planning anti-
collision scans.
Note: An associated field can provide targets for allocation to

the current well and will provide the DDSS directional
well planning application with a list of wells which
should be included in anti-collision scans.
FIELD – DISASSOCIATE — removes an entry from the field list built up

using the FIELD – ASSOCIATE feature.
Note: All of the targets in an external field must de-allocated

from the subject facility and its wells before the field can
be disassociated. If the external field was only associated
because its wells were to have been included in anti-
collision scans, it can be disassociated immediately.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
ALLOCATE TARGET TO: pop-up menu — enables the user to select the
level at which the target should be allocated. The options available are
well, slot or facility. When an option has been selected, the target name
panel will display the names of the targets allocated to the current facility,
slot or well.
TARGET NAME – ALLOCATE — displays a pick list of the targets in the
current field and in the associated fields at the selected level. The allocation
process is completed when the user presses the SAVE button.
TARGET NAME – DEALLOCATE — opens the de-allocate target
window, which allows the user to remove an entry from the target list built
up using the allocation feature.The user selects to de-allocate a target from
a well, a well and a slot, or a well, slot and facility using toggle buttons.

Allocating Rigs and Programs

This window is used to specify the rig(s) which will be in use during a
particular program.
It is left up to the user to check that the selected rigs are going to be
available. The window allows the user to add and delete new rigs and
programs and to add, insert and edit drilling datum details.
The window is made up of two distinct panels, one allowing the user to
specify the program name and type and to add a new program name (by
way of the NEW PROGRAM button), and the other displaying a scrolled
list of allocated rigs and their datum details. Included in this list are: RIG
NAME, RIG TYPE, and VALID FROM and VALID TO dates and times
— a rig may have a number of drilling datum details associated with it.
If there is no program present when the user opens this window, the system
defaults to providing a program name which is the same as the well name.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997

Special Features
ADD PROGRAM… — allows the user to add a program which will then
be added to the pick list. A new program must have at least one rig
allocated to it before it may be saved to the database.
Note: Only the program name may be created here within the
well initialization application, all other details must be
completed within program initialization.
ADD NEW RIG — allows the user to add a rig to the end of the scrolled
list of allocated rigs.
INSERT RIG — allows the user to add a rig to the scrolled list
immediately above the current cursor position.
DELETE — allows the user to delete rigs and datum details from the
scrolled list, but only if the program is not the current program — once the
program is specified as started within program initialization, deletion is not
allowed. Program deletion is only possible from within the program
initialization application.
ADD DATUM DETAILS… — allows the user to add an entry to the end
of the list of drilling datum date details for the selected rig. It will only be
possible to do this if the details fit into the chronological order of the list.
INSERT DATUM DETAILS… — allows the user to insert an entry into
the list of drilling datum date details for the selected rig, at a point
immediately above the current cursor position. Again, it will only be
possible to do this if the details fit into the chronological order of the list.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
EDIT DATUM DETAILS… — opens the drilling datum details window

and allows the user to edit selected drilling datum details. This window is

Well initialization may supply several items of data to this sub-application

or it may supply only the name of the parent well. For the sake of
completeness, the following procedure assumes that only the parent well’s
name has been supplied.
Before using the sidetrack initialization application, the correct well and
program must be chosen in well initialization. The PROGRAM NAME
text field will display the name of the program selected in user defaults,
and the RIG text field will display the name of the rig currently operating
on the selected well.
Special Features
SIDETRACK FROM text field — displays the name and short name of the
well selected in well initialization.
SIDETRACK NAME pick list — lists the names and kick off points of all
sidetrack wells branching from the well selected in well initialization.
DATUM DETAILS… — opens the sidetrack datum details window for the
rig allocated to the well on the kick off date indicated. This window is used
for specifying the offsets of the drilling datum from the well reference

Special Features
SIDETRACK FROM pick list — once a well is selected from this list, the
application will add a “[#]” (starting at 2) to the name of the parent well to
generate a name for the sidetrack.
The parent well will retain its original name. The sidetrack’s name may be
edited if necessary. A “[#]” will also be added to the sidetrack well’s short
name and to the program name. For example:
• Parent well 9/9a-A01(A5)
• First sidetrack w/same name 9/9a-A01(A5), [2]
• Second sidetrack w/same name 9/9a-A01(A5), [3]
• Third sidetrack, w/different name 9/9a-A01(A5)z
WITH NEW WELL toggle button — this button allows users to specify
that this sidetrack is to be treated as a completely new well. If a new well is
specified, then the sidetrack name/short name text field labels change
accordingly and allow entry of new well names.
WITH NEW PROGRAM toggle button — this button allows users to
specify that they want a new program/reporting period to commence with
this sidetrack. If not, then reporting will continue sequentially for the new
sidetrack under the current program. If a new program is specified, then the
program text field is active to allow entry of a new program name.
COMMENTS — allows users to give a brief (255 character) description of
the sidetrack, reasons for the sidetrack, and so forth.

Program Initialization
The program initialization application provides the user

with a method of creating and following a program through
five stages of development — initialized, planned, started,
completed and closed. A program is a schedule of
procedures which are necessary for implementing designs
to be used in developing a concept. It provides a means of
identifying, costing and assigning priorities to work and is
therefore a key administrative tool for a company’s internal
use or for its use in conjunction with partners or government
bodies.
Reference Guide 5-1

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Program Initialization DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual
Overview
Normally, a program is created when a project has been officially
sanctioned. An AFE (authorization for expenditure) number is associated
with each program and when the program has reached the completed stage
a real cost is assigned to it. Only the local currency type will be used in
respect of AFEs.
Each program is given a planned duration and then actual start and end
dates, during which times all activities related to the program will be
charged to the relevant AFE.
It is also possible to initiate programs by way of the well initialization
application, setting up the program name there. Such programs may then
be integrated with the program initialization application and further details
added.
Full read/write access to this application, for amending existing programs,
is limited to the drilling foreman, the drilling superintendent, the drilling
engineer, the directional specialist and the project engineer; other users will
have read only access.
Under normal circumstances, programs will be initialized by the office-
based planning engineer or drilling engineer who will be designated as
expert user and will be able to create and delete programs.
Program Initialization Within DEAP

The program initialization application has an impact upon the following
DEAP applications: daily cost tracking, morning report generator and
progress log. Data is supplied to each of these applications when a check
has been made to test whether the relevant program ACTUAL START
DATE is present in the database.
Programs initialized within well initialization will be accessible by the
program initialization application, as mentioned above.
Navigation
Navigation within this application is very simple since it consists of only
one main window of which a portion changes depending on the status of
the program currently being worked on.
One other window prompts the user for a program name when a new
program is to be added, and a third allows the user to enter information
regarding any suspensions to a program whose status is that of STARTED.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual Program Initialization
The suspensions window is new in DEAP v3.0, as is the program report

that may be generated from the main window.
Main Window Report
Initialized Planned Started Completed Closed
New Program Suspensions

This application has one main window in which the central portion changes
appearance depending on which of the five program status options has
been set in the upper portion of the screen.
On each variant of the program initialization window, the upper portion
contains an array of initialized buttons allowing specification of subject
type, subject, program name, program type, program status, currency,
previous program and AFE number.
The lower part of the screen contains information on when the program
was first initialized and by whom it was created, below which there are
buttons allowing the user to add a new program and to delete a program.
A program may only be deleted if it has no dependencies; that is to say that
no program may be deleted if it is currently being used within another
user’s set of user defaults or if it has already been reported against.
Nor may a program be deleted if another program refers to it as its previous
program in the PREV PROGRAM field. If dependencies do exist, a
suitable message will be displayed to warn the user of the situation.

The Bit/BHA application has four main functions: creating

BHAs by selecting components from the rig inventory or
from the catalogs, and by copying and modifying existing
BHAs; entering and editing BHA run details; entering and
editing the details of the BHA components, including the bit
if there is one in the BHA; generating reports of the bit and
BHA details.

Bit/BHA communicates with the morning drilling report and with the
inventory system if it is available. Bit condition and bit run and
performance data can be transferred bi-directionally between Bit/BHA and
the morning drilling report.
Note: The details of a BHA are not editable after it has

appeared in a morning drilling report.
When the DEAP inventory system is available to the user, it can be used to
supply details of the various BHA components. It will reflect any
movements of BHA components to and from the inventory and any
changes in their condition as entered in the Bit/BHA application.

and their details can be examined via the edit component window and its
four sub-windows.

The main window is the starting point for all operations on BHAs. A
selected BHA can be edited, copied or deleted, and the system can be
instructed to start the creation of an entirely new BHA from this window.
For BHAs incorporating bits, select either the BHA RUN NO or the BIT
NO from a pick list. When a BHA does not incorporate a bit, it must be
specified by BHA RUN NO.
• The Make Up BHA and Copy BHA options are not available while
any BHA has a BHA STATUS of “Make Up.”
• The Delete BHA option is only available for BHAs which have not
been included in a morning drilling report.

SURFACE RPM; ON BOTTOM RPM — replaces the old AVG RPM.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
ROTATING DISTANCE — if DEPTH OUT is entered, and either rotating

or sliding distance is entered, the other is updated automatically. When
DEPTH OUT is entered, the value generated for PROGRESS MADE will
also be provided as a default for ROTATING DISTANCE.
SLIDING DISTANCE — see ROTATING DISTANCE. The sum of
ROTATING and SLIDING DISTANCES must not exceed total
PROGRESS MADE.
BHA Details
The BHA details window displays a diagram of the structure of the
selected BHA. The structure can be modified by adding or deleting
components, or by moving components within it.
A component which is to be moved is first deleted from its original
location, held on a temporary clipboard while the user selects a new
location, and then pasted back into the BHA. A new copy facility is
available, which works in a similar manner..
Figure 6-6
BHA Details
Six read only text fields describe each of the BHA components: NAME,
SERIAL NO, QUANTITY, LENGTH, MAX OD and CUMULATIVE
DISTANCE. The serial number field will only appear if the DEAP stock
control system is available.
Reference Guide 6-7

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
The cumulative distance field displays the distance from the tip of the bit to
the top of the component. When several components of the same type are
grouped together in a single entry, the figure quoted will be the distance
from the tip of the bit, or the tip of the lowest component, to the top of the
highest component in the group.
By clicking on the icon at the left hand end of an entry, the user can initiate
the add, delete, copy and move processes, and also navigate to the
appropriate sub-window for editing the details of the selected component.
If one of the edit component windows is open, the details it displays will be
updated as soon as the user selects a component in the BHA details
window. The positions of integral and clamp-on stabilizers within the BHA
are listed in a text field at the top of the window.
Add BHA Component

The add BHA component window can be accessed either by clicking the
ADD COMPONENT… button on the BHA details window, or by selecting
one of the insert options from a pop-up menu under a component icon.
Component category is selected from a set of icons, then a type is selected
from a pick list. The final choice of an individual item is made from the
catalog or from the inventory.

Editing BHA Components

When a BHA component has been selected from either the BHA details
window or the add BHA component window, the edit BHA component
window will open. This window enables the user to edit details of BHA
components other than bits, hole openers and under reamers. It also offers
access to the stabilization details and variable blade sub-windows.
There are two versions of the window; a comprehensive window for use
when the DEAP stock control and inventory system is available, and a
simplified version for use when stock control is not available.
The user is free to select items from the catalog even if stock control is
installed. This may be necessary when, for instance, an item has not yet
been included in the stock control system.
When the window opens, its contents will depend on whether the user is
editing an existing BHA component or adding a new one.
If a new component is being added, the text fields will be empty until the
component has been selected from the catalog or from the inventory
system. The icon in the corner will reflect the type of component which has
been selected.

requirement for recording and reporting on the details of
actual casing tasks carried out during drilling and
completion operations. It has links with well planning
applications and the morning report generator.

Casing Actual DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual
Overview
The data held within the casing actual application may be edited by the
user — this will have no effect on the well planning data.
The reports should normally be produced at intervals of several days or
weeks. An indicator that the casing actual report should be produced will
be raised by the progress log application, if the task “run casing” has been
reported in the log. However, this does not put any constraints on the user
— the reports may be run before this if desired.
Note: The links to the well planning applications have not yet
been implemented in this release of the software.

Cement Actual DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual
Overview
The cement actual application has been included in the DEAP system
because of the necessity of recording and reporting on the details of actual
cement jobs being carried out. It allows for the recording of primary
cement job data. These details must be recorded in DEAP in order to be
available for reference during drilling, completion, abandonment or
suspension operations.
Most data has to be entered manually by the company man or the cement
engineer on a rig, with certain details being available for selection from
catalogues. The data may be edited and saved until it has been committed.
There are links to some other applications within DEAP — data will be
available for use in cement actual from the casing actual application.

Geology Actual DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual
Overview
The application is launched from the daily operations section of the DEAP
application launcher (APL) and starts up in the open window state.
All input and display of data is controlled on a single main screen. This
screen contains the data input fields and a graphical display of the data in
the form of a lithology column.
Geology Details
The level of detail of geological information is kept to the minimum
required in order to produce meaningful reports and analysis by this and
other applications. This includes the following items:
• Top Depth (MD)
• Formation Name
• Lithology Type
• Boundary Type
• Comments
While the interface only provides this focused view, presenting the user
with the detail level shown above, the underlying data model is designed to
accommodate a richer dataset if required.
Datasets
Two datasets may be entered through the Geology Actual application:
• Observed
• Definitive
The definitive geology will originate from imported and/or geologist
entered data. Access permission to change the definitive geology dataset
will be limited to the geologist.
Geological Nomenclature
Pick lists for geologic data (formation names, lithology type, etc.) are
specific for the operator as defined by the facility and the current region of
operation.
Display of data by another operator or outside the region of data entry will
be in the original nomenclature of the data at the point of entry.

Drilling Fluid Actual
The drilling fluid actual application provides a means for

the contract mud engineer or company man at the well site
to report regularly on the properties of drilling mud and
workover/completion brine being used in oilfield drilling
operations. It comes within the area of daily operations, and
the data entered here will be reported in the morning reports
as well as in reports generated by this application. In
addition, the data entered here is accessed automatically by
the engineering and well planning applications.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Drilling Fluid Actual DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual
Overview
The system has been designed to allow for the expert user and the non-
expert user in the area of fluids. A limited amount of data is mandatory and
is data which would be clearly understood by all users. This mandatory
data includes such information as mud density, rheology and fluid loss.
The fact that only certain items of data are mandatory and the rest optional,
means that it is largely the user who decides what information to include in
the report, depending on the type of operation and the level of support
given to it by fluids specialists.
It is important to keep in mind that data entered here is automatically
accessed and loaded into the DEAP engineering applications, such as
hydraulics, swab and surge, drill string simulator, and the cement
placement simulator. The more complete the data that is entered in this
application, the better the results from the engineering and well planning
applications.
The general drilling fluids application user is provided with a number of
mud report forms allowing all mud data relevant to the particular drilling or
workover operation to be reported. These reports cover the four most
commonly used groups of oilfield drilling fluids (water-based mud, oil-
based mud, brine, and synthetic-based mud), and provide a breakdown of
costs resulting from drilling fluid maintenance.
Office-based personnel will be able to obtain two levels of information on
the properties of drilling mud and workover/completion brine — from the
morning drilling report which will contain minimal information but enough
to allow drilling superintendents and engineers to make a first pass, and
from the fluids actual reports themselves.
In sum, this application provides the following features:
• Availability of mud data to wellsite drilling personnel and drilling
support personnel
• Availability of mud data for drilling post-well analysis staff
• Automatic extraction of operations mud data from the database into
DEAP applications
• Conformity with standard oilfield practice of regularly reporting the
current state of the drilling fluid actually in use
• Regular reporting of all mud data relevant to a drilling/workover
operation
• Provision of costs breakdown resulting from the maintenance of
drilling fluids

This window forms the base point for access to the sub-applications within
the drilling fluid application. All users will have read access to the main
window and will therefore be able to select reports and display them. User
groups with full access privileges will have the ability to create new reports
and edit existing ones.
The window contains a display of the current rig and well (taken from user
defaults) followed by an area containing a number of buttons for selecting
the report number, fluid type, report times, etc., and fields for indicating the
names of the mud engineer and the company involved.
Figure 10-1
Main Window –
Water-based, oil-
based and
synthetic-based
muds
The layout of the lower left pane of the window depends on the fluid type
selected.
• In all cases this pane contains pop-up menu buttons for selecting the
check number and the source from which the fluid sample has been
taken, a time field and a flowline temp field.
• In the cases of oil-based mud, water-based mud, and synthetic-based
mud, this pane will also contain a pop-up menu button for selecting
whether or not the sample is a statutory sample, and a depth field for
entering the depth of the hole measured at the time the sample was
taken.
• In the case of brine, the chemistry button will be unselectable and
there will be a field for brine test temp.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
The window provides a series of buttons to allow selection of the sub-

applications accessible from the main window. These buttons are
RHEOLOGY…, PROPERTIES…, CHEMISTRY…, ADDN.PROP.…,
HYDRAULICS…, USAGE…, CONCENTRATIONS…, SOLIDS
CONTROL…, COMMENTS…, COSTS…, and ENVIRONMENTAL….
Since CHEMISTRY is not applicable to brine as a drilling fluid this button
is unselectable in the display when brine is the selected fluid type.

Special Features
COMPLETE button — pressing this button signifies that all data has been
entered for a particular report and that it is complete. Once the data has
been committed, the report becomes read only and no more amendments
may be made to it. The report may be uncommitted by a DEAP System
Administrator (DBA) allowing further amendments.
REPORTS–> calls a pop-up menu which provides the options COSTS…
and FLUIDS…, — each of these options will activate the standard report
generator, allowing the user to produce fluids reports (water-based mud,
oil-based mud, brine, and synthetic-based mud) and cost reports.
Rheology
This window is composed of three distinct sections: one section holding
fields for FLUID DENSITY, FUNNEL VISCOSITY and two radio buttons
— FANN and PV & YP. The selection made here, between these two
buttons, decides the contents of the lower left pane.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
• If FANN has been selected, the pane will hold two fields in a scrolled
list — RPM and READING for recording the FANN readings at
various instrument revolution speeds.
Figure 10-3
Rheology
— FANN
• If PV & YP has been selected the pane will hold three fields — PV for
the plastic viscosity of the liquid, YP for the yield point of the liquid
and a YIELD STRESS field.
The lower right hand pane (for muds) will hold details for readings of
GELS — 10 SEC GELS, 10 MIN GELS AND 30 MIN GELS. This
pane will be blank for brine.
Figure 10-4
Rheology
— PV & YP
(Brine)
• If PV & YP is selected, the user may either enter values in the PV and
YP fields, in which case the n and K values will be derived from
these, or, alternatively, the user may enter values in the n and K fields,
in which case the PV and YP values will be derived from them.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
By default, the window will contain the pane for FANN readings when first
opened. When the user switches from one pane layout to the other, data
shown on the newly opened pane will display data derived from the
previous one.
For example the PV & YP data will be derived from the FANN readings
entered against 600 and 300 RPM, with YIELD STRESS being derived
from the low speed readings; the 600 and 300 RPM readings on the FANN
pane will be derived from the values manually entered against PV & YP.
For a new mud check, when FANN has been selected, the RPM entries for
600, 300, 200, 100, 6 and 3 will be provided as defaults, although no actual
readings will be provided against them and should be entered by the user.
Further speeds and readings may be added by the user.
Properties
Water-based, Oil-based and Synthetic-based Muds
This window displays commonly reported elements of water-based, oil-
based, and synthetic-based mud checks.
There are two main areas on this window, one holding fields for commonly
measured properties of drilling fluids and the other holding fields for fluid
loss and filter cake measurements from a mud check.
Figure 10-5

The hydraulics window is used for the maintenance of information on the
hydraulic properties of drilling fluid while it is circulating and should be
used once per report. The layout of the window will remain the same for
water-based, oil-based, synthetic-based mud and brine.
The data displayed on this screen should be acquired from the hydraulics
calculator application and then manually entered into this window. The two
applications may be run at the same time by way of the applications

Concentrations
The product concentrations window is intended to be a means of recording
details of the concentration of additives in the drilling fluid during the
reporting period. New concentrations may be introduced and others may be
deleted when required.
The window consists of one main area holding a list of products and their
concentrations. An ADD and a DELETE button have been included to
facilitate the maintenance of the list.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
If no previous data exists for a report, this window is displayed with the
concentration fields empty but with product items and units taken from the

Usage
This window is used for recording data on drilling fluid usage for water-
based, oil-based and synthetic-based muds and brine over the reporting
period.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
It is sub-divided into two main columns, one containing fields for

recording gains and losses of circulating mud/brine volumes and the other
containing fields for recording the actual volumes of mud/brine in the
circulating system.
Figure 10-14 Fluids Usage – Water-based, oil-based, and synthetic-based muds
The window used for recording brine usage will not contain a field in the
losses section for separator; otherwise it is exactly the same as the window
used for tracking other mud types.
When the window opens, data for the current report will be displayed — if
there is no current data for the report the only fields to contain values will
be the starting volume, the final volume and section losses where the
display will show values for final volume and section losses from the
previous report. (A section is defined as a logical part of the life of a well,
e.g. drill 17-1/2” hole or complete well.)

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Solids Control
There are two main sections to this window, one which contains a scrolled
list of all shale shakers, the other to identify solids control equipment types.
Within the top section regarding shale shakers, in addition to the shaker
number, there are two distinct columns, one for first screen and the other
for lower screens.
When a shaker number and first shaker row is highlighted, the ADD and
DELETE buttons become selectable for amending the lower screens
column. The first screen column records details of the top screen of a set
used on the shaker; the lower screens column records details of one or
several additional screens which may be added to a shaker configuration.
When the window initially opens but there are no relevant details for the
current report, the equipment types present will be determined from the rig

Formation Integrity Test Report
This application is used to record and plot the results of

formation integrity tests (FIT). For tests in which leak-off is
observed, the user may select a leak-off point from the
graph of pressure versus volume and the application will
calculate the corresponding equivalent mud weight (EMW).
If no leak-off is observed, EMW is automatically calculated
from the last test pressure.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Formation Integrity Test Report DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual
Overview
The formation integrity test report application consists of three main
sections: well details, mud details and FIT results. The application provides
automatic calculation of EMW at FIT TVD, graphical display of FIT
results, automatic importing of daily well status and daily mud report data
when they are available.
EMW is calculated as follows (the value of the constant will depend on the
units system being used):
EMW = MW + FIT LIMIT X a constant

FIT DEPTH (TVD)
In addition to instantaneous pressure, the user can enter delay pressures to

enable more accurate leak-off prediction. This also aids the interpretation
of the formation’s consolidation and permeability characteristics.
When possible, the application will import data from the daily well status
report and the daily mud report. The user is free to modify and update the
details, should it be necessary. If such details are not available, data entry
must be completed manually.
The application operates on a copy of any data it draws from the daily well
status report or the daily mud report. So, if the user modifies well details or
mud details, the original data in the database will not be overwritten when
the report is saved.
Because the FIT report is a statutory document, the application offers
appropriately privileged users the option of committing the report to the
database in a read-only form. A committed report is no longer editable by
the user, but it can be reviewed whenever necessary. FIT reports can only
be committed when all of the FIT data has been entered, the FIT EMW and
FIT limit have been calculated, and the user has saved the report in the
database.
Navigation
The FIT report application consists of the main window, four data input
windows and a plot of the raw FIT data. Well details data is used mainly in
the header of the FIT report, while mud data is used in calculating the
equivalent mud weight for the test results window.

Data Graph
After completing the FIT data window, the user can instruct the application
to produce the pressure versus pumped volume graph. The user can select a
point on the plot, and the corresponding values will be used to calculate the
FIT EMW at the selected FIT limit — the value will be transferred to the
test results window.
The order in which the windows are completed is not important, but the
application cannot calculate EMW until virtually all of the data is present.
A FIT summary report can be requested via the main window.

When the main window opens, the most recent FIT report for the default
well program will be loaded into the application.
The main window provides access to all of the data entry windows, except
for the test data window which is accessed via test results.
If new test data is to be entered, clicking the NEW TEST button sets the
TEST DATE to the current date and increments the FIT NUMBER by one.
The TEST DATE can be selected from the standard DEAP time and date
window if necessary. Earlier reports for the subject well can be reviewed
by choosing a FIT NUMBER from the pick list.
Well details, mud details and FIT results are accessed from the main
window by clicking on the appropriate icon. The user can have all of the
windows open at the same time if necessary.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
The drilling superintendent, the expert user and the DBA have full access
to the functions offered by this application. The drilling supervisor has the
same access, but will not be able to delete and commit FIT reports. All
other users have read-only access.

Main window
Special features
DELETE — deletes the currently selected FIT report. This option is only
available for uncommitted reports, and only for users with appropriate
application access.
COMMIT — makes the current FIT report read only.
Well Details
If the current well status and casing job details are available from the
DEAP database, the application will insert them into the well details
window. The user is free to modify and update the details, as required. If
such details are not available, data entry must be completed manually.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
The values entered in this window must relate to the most recent casing
section set for the well.

Mud Details
If current mud details are available from the DEAP database, the
application will insert them into the mud details window. The user is free to
modify and update the details, should it be necessary. If such details are not
available, data entry must be completed manually.
The values entered in this window must relate to the mud currently in use
in the well.

Fit Results
FIT results are entered via this window. Many of the text fields will default
to values entered elsewhere in the application, although all of them are
editable:

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
• FIT DEPTH (MD), FIT DEPTH (TVD), VOLUME LOST and

DELAY READINGS AFTER (interval) must be entered by the user
• TOTAL VOLUME PUMPED is taken from the last entry in the FIT
data table
The functions of the two text fields at the bottom of the window depend on
whether or not leak-off was observed during the FIT.
• If leak-off was not observed, the fields will be FIT LIMIT and FIT
LIMIT EMW
• If leak-off was observed, the fields will be LEAK-OFF LIMIT and
LEAK-OFF EMW
The selection between FIT limit values and leak-off values is made from
the LEAK-OFF OBSERVED pop-up menu on the window.
• FIT LIMIT (or LEAK-OFF LIMIT) is read off the FIT data graph
• FIT LIMIT EMW (or LEAK-OFF EMW) is derived from the FIT
LIMIT (or LEAK-OFF LIMIT) and from the MUD WEIGHT entered
in the mud details window
After entering FIT DEPTH MD and FIT DEPTH TVD, the user should
open the test data window and complete the table.
Once the test data has been applied, TOTAL VOLUME PUMPED will be
transferred to the test results window and the FIT graph will be available
for the selection of FIT LIMIT or LEAK-OFF LIMIT.

Fit Data
This window is for the entry of raw FIT data. The table’s CUMULATIVE
VOLUME and INITIAL PRESSURE columns are always editable, but the
FINAL PRESSURE column only becomes editable if the user has entered
a time interval in the DELAY READING text field in the FIT results
window.
When the data is applied, the final CUMULATIVE VOLUME entry is
transferred to the test results window as TOTAL VOLUME PUMPED. If
no leak-off has been observed, the last initial pressure reading in the table
will be used as the FIT limit.

been re-scaled by using the IN command.
WHERE? button — enables the user to select a point on the graph and read
its co-ordinates. If required, the pressure co-ordinate can be transferred to
the test results window for use in the calculation of an equivalent mud

Progress Log
The progress log application has been designed to provide a

means by which a drilling supervisor, or similarly
responsible person, may enter details of work carried out
during a previously defined time interval. The progress log
is a record of all activities carried out during the life of a
well program — such logging is carried out as a daily
operation within the DEAP system. It forms a central
element of the daily routine of drilling activities and is an
important part of the time recording and reporting system.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Progress Log DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual
Overview
The progress log comprises a series of daily log intervals, starting from the
initialization date and ending at well completion, at which stage the
progress log undergoes a validity check and is closed off. Each log is a
consecutive series of reports for a predefined reporting interval. Data
produced by way of the progress log application is linked to other
applications within the time recording and reporting system — phase and
job allocation and the morning report.
The phase and job allocation application is closely linked with the progress
log in that it allows office-based engineers to allocate phases and jobs to
tasks entered in the progress log.
The progress log application has been constructed such that almost all the
reporting may be carried out by selection from pick lists — minimizing the
need to enter free-form text yet giving sufficient detail for post-well
analysis. It is designed to be as flexible as possible, as regards the building
of the log. When the user runs the log checking procedure a warning will
be given if any modification is going to affect the integrity of other entries.
The order in which the user chooses to build the log is entirely optional, but
it is easier to build it in a strictly sequential manner rather than in random
order. Features of this application include:
• Configurable for operation on three separate reporting levels — task,
operation or event
• Three subject levels are supported — well program, rig program and
facility program
• Provides flexibility — time interval may be configured to suit
individual sites, e.g. 24 hour period or 12 hour period
• Allows for progress reporting on site preparation, drilling, workover
and completion
• Displays last point of entry as the re-entry point
• Has links with well development plan data
• Data generated by the application may be accessed by the job and
phase allocation application and by the morning report generator
When a log interval has been committed it is made available to the morning
report generator — after this point no data may be altered by the user
although it may still be examined within the progress log application.
In cases where a workover has to be carried out on a well, a new progress
log must be initialized.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual Progress Log
Note: If a user attempts to initialize a progress log without a

work program having already been initialized and given
a start date, a message box informing the user of this fact
will be displayed, referring the user to the DBA for
further assistance.
Navigation
Beyond the options available in the progress log main window, the
application is centered around the progress log editor, with only one other
major window called up from there — the activity selection window. In
this release of the software, all activity modification is carried out from one
large screen. This is intended to provide a more straightforward means of
modifying and selecting activities.
If screen space is available, the user may keep a number of windows open
at one time and does not have to close windows each time an entry has
been completed.

Control of Access to the Log

Only one user should modify a particular log interval at any one time. If a
second user attempts access, a dialog box will be displayed warning that
the log interval is in use. The usual response to this must be the default
CANCEL option or two users will be working on the same data and
confusion may result.
This dialog box will also be displayed if the system has experienced a
power failure or other interruption. Such an interruption is the only time
when the user should select OK to continue.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Definition of Terms
Object of interest
An asset area with geodetic boundaries and sub-surface targets.
Concept
An approach to exploit an object of interest.
Facility
A structure attached permanently to an object of interest for the purpose of
exploitation.
Design
The engineering requirements necessary to develop a concept.
Project program
The schedule of procedures required to implement designs necessary to
develop a concept. This will normally consist of a combination of phases of
development associated with the subjects required.
Phase
A set of activities which are carried out to achieve an objective. A phase
provides a gross view of activities required. A phase may apply at facility,
rig or well level. Typically several phases are incorporated within a
program and several jobs within a phase.
Job
A set of activities (tasks and operations) which are carried out as a standard
piece of work (e.g. drill hole, open hole, core hole, log hole, etc.) to achieve
an objective. Typically several jobs are incorporated within a phase and
several tasks within a job.
Task
A set of activities which are carried out to achieve an objective, e.g. anchor
rig, BHA run, run tubulars, subsea survey, repair. Typically several tasks
are incorporated within a job and several operations within a task.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Operation
An activity or set of activities carried out to achieve an objective, e.g. pull
BHA, run tubulars, flow check, circulate, wash. Typically several
operations are incorporated within a task and several events within an
operation.
Event
An occurrence which alters (suspends, completes, aborts) the current
operation, e.g. at BHA, observed well static, had equipment failure, at
setting depth, stopped due to weather. It will by its nature define an
observation made, the assumed reason and/or response. Typically several
events are incorporated within an operation.
Progress log
The strictly sequential record of activities associated with a subject. Log
activities may be suspended and restarted a number of times during the life
of a subject.
Report interval
The interval selected for validation and distribution of reports. A report
period will have a start time (e.g. 0600) which will be set on a company
wide basis.
Rig
The derrick, drawworks and associated surface equipment of a drilling or
workover unit.
Subject
The well program, encompassing well, rig and facility, for which phase,
job, task, operation or event data will be collected.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Sensitivity of Add Buttons

A certain sensitivity has been built in to the ADD buttons appearing on the
progress log window. The availability of these buttons is dependent partly
upon the reporting level set by the database administrator, and partly upon
choices made at the preceding level (the main window).
The table below gives an indication of what can be expected to be available
on-screen with each reporting level.
Reporting ADD TASK… ADD OPERATION… ADD EVENT…
Level Button Button Button
TASK Available Not Available Not Available
OPERATION Available Available Not Available
EVENT Available Available Available
In addition to the above sensitivity, when event level reporting has been set
and a task level activity is selected from the progress log, ADD EVENT…
will be unselectable since events may only be added to operations and not
to tasks. When an operation level or event level activity is selected, all
three buttons will be selectable.
Reporting Levels
There are three reporting levels which may be associated with a subject
(i.e. a well program):
• Task level
• Operation level
• Event level
The level may only be selected by a privileged user or system administrator
in the application setup. The amount of detail which needs to be entered is
dictated by the reporting level selected. The procedures used for all three
levels are very similar in order to facilitate data entry.
These reporting levels allow for different degrees of detail. Event level is
the most detailed level of reporting and requires the greatest investment of
time at the data entry stage but produces more in return by way of detail for
post well analysis. This is the recommended reporting level where
extensive post well analysis is required, with the benefits being most
apparent in the performance enquiry tool application.
It is important to remember that comments entered as free text cannot later
be queried, for example by the performance enquiry tool within the system,
whereas event qualifiers can be.

Operation level reporting is suitable for sites where extensive post well
analysis is not required. The time saved entering data on site will be paid
for in a lower level of detail for analysis purposes. Selecting operation level
reporting implies acceptance of this limitation on the ability to analyze the
data.
Task level
Figure 12-3
Sample Report
— Task Level
Task
Task level reporting produces reports showing only a general view of

activities, giving little in the way of useful detail and only showing broad
durations of activities such as BHA runs, wireline work, subsea surveys,
etc. This might be useful for loading up partner reports or loading historical
well data.

This window will be displayed when the progress log is invoked from the
applications launcher. The buttons provided on this screen will allow the
user to perform the following:
• Initialize a new log
• Modify an open log
• View a log, closed or open
• Suspend a selected log, if all of its reporting periods have been
committed
• End a log which is currently open
In the central portion of the screen, all the logs for the current subject
(which will have been selected in the user defaults) are displayed in the
form of a scrolled list. The list shows the start and end dates, the status of
the log and the relevant program name.
Figure 12-1
Progress Log
Main Window
Progress Log Initialization

A log must be initialized when there are no active logs for the current
subject selection or when a subject change has been made and there are no
active logs for the new subject.
The log may be initialized for a facility only, or for a combination of
facility and rig or facility, rig and well.
Details of facility, rig and well are displayed on the progress log
initialization window for information purposes only, the user may only
enter details of the start date/time of the new progress log. The system will
default to the current date/time as the start date/time.

Editing a Log
The user must first select a log from the list in the main window in order to
be able to modify it. Logs which are marked CLOSED cannot be edited,
only viewed.
Viewing an Existing Log

The option to view a log is available from the progress log main window.
This allows the user to browse a current or a closed progress log but does
not allow amendments to be made.
None of the activity modification buttons will be available to the user when
the progress log editor is in view mode. Reports may be output using the
REPORT–> button.
Suspending a Log
This option is only available when the user highlights an open log on the
scrolled list.
The user may suspend a log whenever it is considered necessary. It is
conditional upon all log intervals within the progress log having been
committed. If this is not the case, a dialog box will be called up warning the
user that all intervals must be committed.
Ending a Log
This option is only available when the user highlights an open or a
suspended log on the scrolled list.
It allows the user to end a log for a particular subject conditional upon all
log intervals within that progress log having been committed, and invokes
a dialog box warning that if the user carries on, this action will prohibit any
further modifications to that progress log. The log will be given a status of
CLOSED on the scrolled list on the main window.

Progress Log Editor

This window forms the hub of the progress log application. All activities
are presented in spreadsheet format. The procedures which are available
from this screen are:
• Selection of a progress log reporting period from a pick list
• Selection of the report view required from a pick list
• Browsing through all activities for a committed reporting period
• Activity management in an uncommitted reporting period
• Running an integrity check on the log interval
• Outputting log reports, either on the current period or the entire view
Figure 12-3 Progress Log Editor

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
At the top of the editor window, the user is introduced to the concept of the
report view and the report period (accessible via pick list buttons), allowing
the user to view sections of the log which include more than just the current
report period. Only those activities falling within the current report period
will be active, however.
Report Period
The report period is the active period of the log which can be edited or
updated. There are a number of tools available to allow the user to select
the appropriate report period.
The navigation buttons to the right of the REPORT
PERIOD TO: field allow the user to move
Backwards Forwards backwards/forwards through the individual periods
or to move directly to the start/end of the log. The
pick list button will allow quick selection from a list
Start End
of all report periods for the current log.
The +/– magnifier buttons allow the report view to zoom in
on and out of the current period to the entire log. The
selected view will be displayed in read only mode in the Zoom
In Out
display field.
The end time and date of the selected report period will be displayed in the
REPORT PERIOD TO: data field, for information only.
Report View
This feature allows the extent of the log being displayed to be increased or
decreased from the current report period to the entire log.
More than the current report period may be viewed, but only the activities
within the current report period will be editable.
Any viewed rows of data which fall outside the current report period will
be read only. They will be displayed in a slightly darker background color.
The view options which are available on the pick list will be: CURRENT
PERIOD, LAST 24 HOURS, LAST 48 HOURS, LAST WEEK, ENTIRE
LOG.
The figure below illustrates the relationship between report view and report
period.

last log interval plus the length of the interval itself.
The user will be able to set the date to any date which suits the current
situation, but it should be noted that the system will reject all times other
than the designated start time for log intervals.

The Progress Log Spreadsheet

All of the activities within a log are displayed in the spreadsheet which
forms the central feature of the editor window. Various tools have been
included in the design of the window, to allow the user to customize the
display. Radio buttons are available for TASKS, OPERATIONS, EVENTS
and COMMENTS, to allow the user to control the level of detail displayed
in the spreadsheet.
The columns included in the spreadsheet can be controlled using the
COLUMNS–> button. The items included on the pop-up menu which is
displayed when this button is pressed are: CHECK/COMMIT STATUS,
DURATION, TIME TO, RIG RATE, ACTIVITY STATUS.
The default setting will be that the TIME/DATE FROM and ACTIVITY
DESCRIPTION fields will always be visible on the spreadsheet — they
cannot be toggled off.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
The TIME/DATE FROM column on the spreadsheet displays the start time
of the activity. The date will also be displayed, for reference, if the activity
is carried over from a previous period.
The ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION column displays a description
constructed from the activity type, its qualifiers and any comments which
have been inserted against it. If an activity is carried over from a previous
report period, the description will have a suffix of “cont…” — this will
apply to all activities which have a duration.
The CHK column shows the status of check/commit for the log. Color
coding is used here to indicate this status to the user.
Figure 12-6
Check/Commit Status Color
– Color Indicators
Unchecked Red
Checked but Half Red

Uncommitted Half Green

The end time of an activity is displayed in the TIME TO column. No end

time will be shown for an event type activity.
The DURATION field on the spreadsheet will display the activity’s
duration, in fractions of hours, if required. No duration will be displayed
for event type activities.
The RIG RATE toggle button will only be selectable on the COLUMNS –
> pop-up menu if rig rate reporting has been enabled by the database
administrator. On the spreadsheet, this column will indicate the rig rate for
the activity: DAILY, OPERATION, REPAIR or MOVE. Events will not
be given a rig rate.
The activity status column (STS) will provide a visual indication of the
start and end of specific activity types. Tasks are indicated by the marker
being positioned at the left of the STS field, operations in the middle and
events at the right
Modifying Activities
A series of buttons is located below the spreadsheet — ADD(INSERT)
TASK…, ADD(INSERT) OPERATION…, ADD(INSERT) EVENT…,
EDIT(VIEW) ACTIVITY… and DELETE ACTIVITY. The labels on the
buttons will depend on a number of factors.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
The ADD labels will be changed to INSERT (i.e. INSERT TASK, etc.) if
the selected activity is not the last of that particular activity type in the log.
In addition, the label on the ADD OPERATION… button will change to
INSERT OPERATION…, if a task is currently selected and subsequent
operations exist for that task.
Inserting an activity within the log is only allowed if a suitable amount of
time is available between the selected activity and the one which follows.
When one of the ADD/INSERT buttons is selected, the activity selection
window, which the user may specify details of the tasks, operations and
events which are to be assigned to a particular activity in the log.
Checking and Committing Log Entries

The CHECK button below the spreadsheet on the editor window instructs
the system to check the log entries for inconsistencies such as time gaps
and missing activities.
Any errors which are found will be displayed in a message dialog box,
which can be left on-screen while the user fixes the discrepancies. The
CHK column on the spreadsheet will be appropriately updated when
CHECK has been run.
The user may highlight a checked entry on the log and then commit the
activity by pressing the COMMIT button. When a log entry has been
committed it is made available to the morning report generator — after
this, no data may be altered by the user, although it may still be viewed
within the progress log application.
Progress Log Reports

The REPORT–> button pops up a menu of two reports, one for a report of
progress log data in the current period and the other for a report of progress
log data for the entire view.
The current period report will contain details of all of the items within the
current report period, including a PROD column to flag N, when an
operation is non-productive. To make the effect of this more immediate, no
special flag will be used for productive operations.
The entire view report provides an output of all activities associated with
the currently selected view as well as those contained in the current report
period. The layout of this report will be similar to that of the current period
report, only the extent of its content will differ.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Selecting Activities
The activity selection window is called up when the user presses one of the
add/insert or edit activity buttons on the progress log editor window.
Figure 12-7 Activity Selection Window
There are three panes within the window — one displaying task details,
one operation details and the third event details. Each of the panes contains
an appropriate ADD(INSERT) TASK/OPERATION/EVENT button —
these operate in the same way as the equivalent buttons on the progress log
editor window.
• In the TASKS and OPERATIONS panes, the following facilities are
available: a DATE field (read-only display), TIME TO and FROM
fields (via the standard DEAP date/time window) plus a STATUS and
a RATE option menu.
STATUS will always default to COMPLETED.
RATE will only be included if rig rate reporting has been turned on by
the database administrator.
• The EVENTS pane displays the DATE field but only contains one
TIME field, since only one point in time is applicable to events.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Scrolled lists of appropriate activities are displayed in the main body of

each of these panes, with a section set aside for any qualifiers which may
be applicable to individual activities.
The activity selection lists allow the user to navigate between activities at
all levels. The system has been designed so that selecting an activity from
any of the lists will only display, in the other lists, activities which can be
associated with that selection
A field is provided at the bottom of each of the three panes on this window
for adding comments against each activity.

Progress Log Guidelines
This document was written for the January 1997 release of

DEAP v3.0 and was designed as a set of guidelines to
enable users to enter data into the DEAP Progress Log with
maximum efficiency while at the same time ensuring
maximum accuracy of records with respect to data
extraction applications that will utilize Progress Log data.
The document emphasizes the need for global consistency,
while recognizing that local preferences may be applied in
specific circumstances. In order to be able to cross reference
data among assets and sites it is important that the same rig
activities be reported in the same manner. By adhering to

Progress Log Guidelines DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual
Overview
This document was written by Colin Hindson of Baker Hughes INTEQ in
Aberdeen and Oliver Whelehan of BP Technology Exploration in Sunbury.
The first part of the document provides the user with tips and tricks for
navigating the application, to enable maximum efficiency of wellsite user's
time.
The second part of the document consists of detailed guidelines of usage
for each of the thirty-four individual TASKS within DEAP to ensure
maximum consistency of reporting globally.
Detailed guidelines are offered for each TASK with examples of
commonly used OPERATIONS and rig activities. There are also examples
of associated activities NOT to be reported with in each TASK with the
correct reporting indicated.
Progress Log — Correct Usage
General
• Resize windows to useful working size.
• After finishing data entry, remember to SAVE then CHECK.
• Individual day's Progress Logs should be Committed 24 to 48 hours
after the particular date.
• NEW PERIOD starts the next day's Progress Log.
Tasks, Operations and Events

• A TASK MUST contain at least one OPERATION / EVENT pairing.
• An OPERATION is always followed by an EVENT where EVENT
level reporting is enabled.
If the OPERATION carries to the next report period then that is where
the EVENT is entered.
End Times and Tasks

• Do not put end times on TASKS.
• When a new TASK is added, its start time will put the correct end
time on the preceding TASK by default.
• The total time of a TASK must equal the sum of the contained
OPERATIONS.

DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual Progress Log Guidelines
End Times and Operations

• Always put an end time on an OPERATION — unless it carries to the
next report period.
Removing End Times

• To remove an end time from an TASK or OPERATION, highlight the
TASK or OPERATION, click edit and change the status from
Completed to Active.
Comments and Tasks

• It is best never to use comments on TASKS.
Comments and Operations

• Be careful not to put comments on an OPERATION, the meaning of
which is then duplicated by the following EVENT.
Deleting Tasks and Operations

• Deleting an OPERATION will delete its associated EVENT.
• Deleting a TASK will delete ALL associated OPERATIONS and
EVENTS.
Qualifiers
• QUALIFIERS are mandatory where requested.
Start and End Operations are often the same in different Tasks
• Many periods of rig activity start with either rigging up or rigging
down equipment.
If this is the case, and the activity took 15 or more minutes then report
it using OPERATIONS.
• DO NOT INCLUDE AS COMMENTS.
Break out time correctly

• Use individual OPERATIONs, not COMMENTS to break out
individual rig activities.
BP does provide for 15 minute time breakdowns where required to
fully report rig activity. Likewise, breakdowns of 45 min. or 1 hr 15
min. are acceptable.

Cost Tracking
The cost tracking application provides a mechanism for

recording the costs incurred in the drilling and production
phases of a well. Cost tracking can be performed on a daily,
weekly, monthly, phase or job basis. This application offers
the following features:
• Total daily cost calculation

• Cumulative cost calculation
• Cumulative completion cost
• Cumulative well cost
• Changes to early sheets ripple through to later ones
• Costs can be entered in local currency
• Exchange rate can be adjusted from day to day

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Cost Tracking DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual
Overview
DEAP’s cost tracking application records the costs that are incurred during
the drilling and completion operations associated with a particular well.
Costs can be allocated according to a phase or job, or recorded on a daily,
weekly or monthly basis. Users in the office are not constrained to using
the same costs basis as the drilling supervisor on the rig will be using.
Estimated and actual costs

Costs entered into the system might not be final invoice costs, as the
application is intended to record the costs from field tickets. Some of these
will only be estimates, so actual costs will remain the responsibility of the
accounting department.
The user can take account of field credits and cost reductions either by
entering negative cost values in the current sheet or by editing the values
entered in earlier sheets.
ROCs can assign their own local accounting codes to each of the cost
tracking categories; they will be set up by the DBA or by an expert user.
Access to cost tracking data

The information recorded by the cost tracking application can be accessed
by those responsible for accounting, but the application itself should not be
regarded as an accounting tool.
Planning applications will be able to access the information, for use in
estimates of future well costs and AFEs.
Cost tracking functions

Cost tracking will calculate total daily costs, cumulative costs for all of the
predefined cost categories and cumulative drilling and completion costs.
If costs have been recorded on a daily basis, the application can supply the
morning drilling report with daily cost data. Otherwise, daily costs must be
entered into the report manually.
Currency conversion rates

Costs will be stored in the DEAP database in US dollars, but they can be
entered in any local currency as long as the user also supplies a currency
conversion rate.
The user is responsible for updating the conversion rate whenever it
changes.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual Cost Tracking
Historical data
The current cost tracking sheet imports data automatically from the
previous sheet. This means that only a few entries and comments will need
to be typed each day, thus saving the drilling supervisor a considerable
amount of time.
In addition to carrying data forward from one day to the next, the
application enables the user to go back to examine, print and edit previous
cost sheets. Any changes will be reflected in the cumulative totals of the
succeeding sheets and in the current well cost figures.

All activity in the cost tracking application takes place in the main window.
The upper sections of the window display the subject and the date of the
currently displayed cost sheet and the currency exchange rate.
Figure 14-1
Main
Window
The window’s middle section displays a scrolled list of all of the cost
categories applicable to the selected programme, their associated local
accounting codes, daily costs, cumulative costs and a field which indicates
whether a comment has been made about a particular category.
The lower third of the window displays the daily cost and cumulative cost
totals, comments on the selected category and several option buttons which
allow the user to move through the cost sheets, add a new cost sheet and
generate reports.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
When the user clicks on NEW a new sheet will be generated. If operations
mode is ON, the sheet will be given the current system date. If operations
mode is OFF, the sheet will be given the date of the day after the date of the
most recent sheet. The user can change this date via the DATE button.

Stock Control DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual
Overview
For the stock control application, inventory is split into eleven categories
(including the ship list). Each is accessible via a pick list on the main
window. Three options enable the user to add a new item to the inventory,
edit the details of an existing item or adjust the stock level of an item. The
edit item details windows have been designed so that only six are required
to edit all of the categories.

another application, some of these options may not be available.
If the application has been invoked from the application launcher, rather
than via another application, the main window will be empty when it first
opens. Otherwise, the window will open displaying an inventory relevant
to the calling application.

Reports
This window provides the user with various reporting options. Reports can
cover either the contents of an inventory or the adjustments made to it
during a user-specified period. Inventories can be reported for specific
owners — company, contractor, rental or all three.
If the user has requested that the inventories of all owners should be
reported, the report can be sorted according to owner (this means that the
items belonging to each class of owner will be grouped together). By
default, the report will be sorted according to item type.
A scrolling list enables the user to select the inventories which are to be
included in the report. If required, the user can select a REPORT ALL
toggle button to include all inventories in the report. The number of items
in each inventory is listed beside the inventory name in the

Overview
Located on the daily operations menu of the DEAP application launcher,
this application is intended to fulfill a number of requirements:
• Provides a convenient method for the administering, recording and
reporting of individual failures on site.
• Generates paper copy failure reports in a standard format, which can
also be reproduced.
• In the event of a failure, provides useful information concerning
similar occurrences.
• Allows for examination of equipment failures at the planning stage, to
avoid expensive repetitions.
• Supports analysis of equipment failures to identify common trends,
from which guidance notes and practices may be modified.

DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual Equipment Failure

The main window is divided into two principal areas — one contains icons
enabling the user to select and edit failure information, and the other shows
a summary of the currently selected failure. The data in the text fields
cannot be edited here.
With the exception of the BROWSE icon, all icons and all text fields relate
to an individual failure entry. The BROWSE icon provides access to the
browse window, which enables users to view multiple failures using a
variety of optional selection filter criteria.
When the equipment failure application is first opened, only the FILE and
BROWSE icons are active. The remaining icons will be activated when a
new failure event is created or an existing entry opened by means of the
options available on the file menu under the FILE icon.

File Operations
When the equipment failure application is first opened and the
main window first appears, only the FILE and the BROWSE
icons are active. Thus the user is guided to use the FILE options menu to
either generate a new equipment failure data file or open an existing data
file, or to search the data base by means of the browse function, explained
in a later section.
The FILE menu provides the options NEW, OPEN, SAVE and DELETE;
the remaining options relate to individual failure entries in the data base.
Parent/Child Data Entry Hierarchy

Since one failure may open give rise to other failures, the equipment failure
application allows entries to be grouped in a hierarchical manner. Thus one
or more failures can be entered as sub-failures (children) of some previous
entry (parent), and these child failures can in turn have their own child
failure entries.
Although there is no limit on the number of levels of sub-failures, in
practice it is unlikely that the user will exceed three or four levels.
The equipment failure application does impose some rules on parent events
as a consequence of their children:
• Parental start and end dates must span all the child start and end dates.
• Parent events cannot be set to RESOLVED unless all children events
have been RESOLVED.
Navigating the Data Base Using the Hierarchy

One advantage that derives directly from the grouping of related failures is
that it becomes easier to find a particular entry in the data base.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
The equipment failure application depicts the parent/child relationship

graphically as a series of linked icons in its file selection window, which is
used in conjunction with the NEW, OPEN and DELETE file options.
The icons themselves change in appearance depending upon whether or not
the particular entry has associated children, and whether those children are
currently depicted. In addition to the icons, the user may choose by the use
of toggle buttons to view additional information concerning the entries,
including equipment class and type.
Finally the user may also apply a filter to restrict the number of entries
displayed. The filter has a number of options available, but some care
should be exercised since child entries will only be displayed if their parent
fulfills the filter criterion.
File Menu Options
New and Open

By means of the NEW option, the user is able to create new failure entry,
either a new parent (NEW button), or a child of some previous entry (NEW
CHILD button). In the case of a child, the user must first select an existing
entry as the parent by using the mouse to highlight it. The OPEN option
enables the user to view or modify an existing failure entry.

NEW button — allows the user to create a new parent failure entry.
NEW CHILD button — allows the user to create a new child failure entry.
Delete
A DELETE button enables the user to remove the action currently
highlighted, provided that the action is not a parent.
Events
The EVENT window contains information relevant to all types of
equipment failure. It consists of four sub-windows, selected by means of
labelled tabs, much like a tabbed index card. To move among the cards, the
user should click on the appropriate tab.
Links Sub-Window
The LINKS sub-window enables users to “link” an equipment failure event
with other DEAP data base tables. The progress log contains a number of
event codes indicating equipment failure, and where possible EFA entries
should be linked to an appropriate progress log event.
Figure 16-4
Event Window
Links Sub-
window

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Progress Log Failure pick list

Upon the selection of a progress log from this pick list, the EFA will search
the progress log selected for possible failure type events that have not
already been reconciled with entries in the EFA data base.
If the user first sets either or both the FACILITY and PROGRAM fields in
the GENERAL sub-window, these fields will then be used as a filter
against the progress log entries.
In addition to information such as facility and program the progress log and
related tables also contain information of particular relevance to downhole
component failures, such as mud type. Thus the EFA can use values
obtained from these tables as defaults for a number of COMPONENT
window fields. Note that the user can elect to overwrite all fields in the
EFA or only those fields that are currently empty.
Finally it may also be possible for the EFA to select an appropriate BHA
number based upon the program and failure time. The EFA will issue a
warning if there are more than one BHA in use at the failure time.

Failure Name text field

A required user-definable reference by which the failure entry may be
subsequently identified, and must therefore be unique.
Facility, Rig, Well and Program pick lists

These fields are specified using pick lists, and may not be modified if the
failure entry has been linked to the progress log. FACILITY is a required
field, without which the failure cannot be saved to the data base.
Equipment Class and Equipment Type pick lists

These fields provide a means of classifying equipment failures in a manner
that facilitates future searches of the data base, and data entry is by means
of pick lists. EQUIPMENT CLASS is a required field.
The table below shows the defined equipment classes with their
corresponding types. Because it may not be possible to identify the
particular piece of equipment at fault when an event is first entered into the
EFA, it is possible to set both the class and type to NOT YET DEFINED
(which is also the default condition).
However, for meaningful data base searches to be possible, these fields
must be entered correctly at the earliest opportunity. Note that types are
specific to the class, and if the class is subsequently modified, the type will
revert to NOT YET DEFINED.

Status Sub-Window
The EVENT STATUS window is divided into two sections. If the event is
a child, then the first section shows the name and start and end times of the
parent event. The second section contains the STATUS, START TIME,
END TIME and COST of the current event.

START TIME and END TIME clock icons — start time is a required field
that will default to the time given in the progress log if it has been linked to
the equipment failure. End time defaults to undefined. Note that for a child
event, the start and end times cannot be set outside of the parental start and
end times.
COST text field — a numeric input with no default.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Mode Sub-Window
The EVENT MODE window bears a direct relationship with the Drill
String Failure Handbook, which was produced in order to assist with the
correct classification of failure modes.
Because it is possible that a failure may be the result of more than one
mechanism, users are able to specify the PRIMARY MODE and two
optional SECONDARY MODES as contributing factors. Modes are set
using pick lists. Note that the primary mode must be defined before a
contributory mode can be set.

Components
The COMPONENT window consists of seven tabbed sub-
windows that enable the user to enter general, hole, property, geometry,
load, mud and history data relating to the equipment failure.
Figure 16-10
Component
Specification
Window
General Sub-
window
Because the EFA is applicable to all types of equipment failure, some

fields may not be relevant in the context of a particular component, while
other items can only be completed by further analysis (for example using
the drill string simulator to obtain the equivalent yield stress). Thus ALL
fields of the COMPONENT windows are optional, and it is left the user’s
discretion to decide what information is relevant.
In general, downhole component failures will require the most input.
However even her a number of fields may only be relevant for subsequent
detailed analysis of the failure. For this reasons a RIG VIEW toggle button
has been added to the window, the purpose of which is to restrict the
number of active fields as a guide to users on the rig site as to what data
they could reasonably be expected to provide.
Component Input Requirements and Defaults

If the failure entry has been linked to the progress log, then information
from various DEAP tables will be used to help complete many of the fields.
If the failed item is part of a BHA assembly, then further default data can
be obtained by selecting the appropriate BHA component. The section for
each sub-window contains a table summarizing the input data requirements
and default data sources for the various sub-windows.

may have been subjected to extreme force in one operation, but
subsequently failed in another.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Each entry consists of a row of data fields containing information such as

operation start and finish, loads, mud details, etc. Although much of this
detail will only be relevant to downhole components, there is also a free
text comment field associated with each entry which can be used to record
information for any type of component.e

Summaries
The FAILURE SUMMARY window provides the user with five
tabbed sub-windows, each containing a comments box in which the user
may enter an unlimited number of remarks summarizing the following with
regards to the specific equipment failure being logged:
• Operations at the time of failure
• Immediate actions taken at the time of failure
• Long term actions
• The investigation of the failure
• Your recommendations as a result of the failure

Summary
Window
Actions
The ACTIONS window is a convenient mechanism for the
assigning and tracking of actions against companies, groups or individuals.
In a manner similar to failure events themselves, the EFA allows actions to
be organized in a hierarchical manner. Thus one or more actions can be
entered as sub-actions (children) of some previous action (parent), and
these child actions can in turn have their own child action entries. The EFA
does not place a limit on the number of levels of sub-actions.
The EFA imposes some rules on parent actions as a consequence of their
children:
• Parent actions cannot be set to COMPLETED unless all children have
been COMPLETED.
• Parent actions cannot be DELETED unless all their children are first
DELETED.
The EFA depicts the parent/child relationship graphically as a series of
linked icons in the main action window. The icons themselves change in
appearance depending upon whether or not the particular entry has
associated children. In addition to the icons, the user may choose by the use
of toggle buttons to view additional information concerning the entries,
including status and owner.

Browsing the Data Base

The BROWSE function allows users to search the DEAP data
base to locate specific equipment failures.
The browse window is divided into two sections. The filter section on the
right contains four tabbed sub-windows in which the user may specify
details for a specific type of equipment failure.
Once the user has completed the selection process in all four filter sub-
windows and pressed the filter button, the failure section on the left will be
automatically refreshed and a list of failures that meet the requirements
specified will be available for selection.

Morning Drilling Report
This application enables the user to create and edit the

morning report. The user can also review earlier reports,
although if they have been committed they are regarded as
the formal record of the activity on the rig and cannot be
edited.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Morning Drilling Report DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual
Overview
Reporting Categories
There are 18 major reporting categories. These include:
• Well status
• Pumps
• Bit
• BHA
• Drilling fluids
• Mud log
• Well control
• Cost
• Bulk materials
• Safety
• Weather — not available for land based rigs
• Personnel
• Rig response — only available when the rig is semi-submersible,
drillship, platform or barge
• Logistics — only available when the rig is semi-submersible, jackup,
drillship, platform or barge
• Progress log
• Surveys
• Coring
• Comments
For convenience, it is possible to have several sections of the report open at
once. When a category is not available, its icon will be blank.
Links with Other Applications

The morning drilling report draws information from several other
applications to reduce the amount of data entry required from the user. For
some applications which are not mandatory requirements, the user will
have to enter the data manually.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual Morning Drilling Report
The applications which send data to the morning drilling report are:
• Bit/BHA actual
• Daily cost tracking (if it has been used)
• Directional survey calculator
• Drilling fluid actual (if it has been used)
• Casing actual (if it has been used)
• Geology actual (if it has been used)
• Progress log
• Rig initialization
• Stock control
• Well initialization
• FIT report
Additional Data
Due to local requirements which may mean that additional data has to be
recorded within the morning drilling report itself, an ADDITIONAL
feature has been built in to DEAP to allow this to be done. This feature is
optional and may be activated, on a facility basis, only by the database
administrator.
For certain of the sub-applications within the morning drilling report,
therefore, two versions of window layout are possible — the one being
displayed is dependent upon whether the DBA has activated additional
data reporting within the facility default settings. Where alternative
window layouts are applicable, both windows will be displayed here within
the text.
In some cases, an additional window may also be available via an
ADDITIONAL… button when the facility defaults have been set to allow
the additional data entry. These windows will also be displayed and
documented within this section of the manual.
IADC/API Reports
The morning drilling report complies with the data requirements of the
IADC/API official daily drilling report form, which is a legal requirement
in some countries. This official report forms are supplied by the
International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC).

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
An option in the facility defaults utility allows the DBA to switch on IADC
reporting. When this has been switched on by the DBA, the additional
windows and fields will become available to the user. The DBA will also
be able to specify the number of tours per day (1, 2 or 3 tours).
Additional information required are such details as manufacturer, grade
and stroke length of pumps, a time breakdown by IADC code within the
progress log details and tour details for bits and drillpipe sections/drilling
assemblies, etc.
Two IADC report options — CURRENT IADC REPORT… and IADC
REPORTS… are also available. If no data has been entered into an IADC
window, but an IADC report is output, the relevant section in the report
will print out but with blank textfields.
With IADC reporting switched on, the morning drilling report application
will be able to output the faxable three page IADC/API drilling report.
There are two versions of the report for two and three tour rig crew rotas.
The morning drilling report will be able to determine which crew rota is
being used for the current facility and will therefore be able to generate the
correct version of the IADC/API report.
Moving through Lists of Entries

Many of the windows in this application present lists of entries. At the top
of each list, there will be a line giving the numbers of the visible entries and
an indication of the total number of entries in the list. The up and down
arrow buttons enable the user to scroll through the list, a page at a time.
COMPLETE Buttons
Most of the morning report generator windows have COMPLETE buttons.
The buttons become active when all mandatory data entry text fields have
been completed. They save the data to the database and close the current
sub-application window.
Text fields in windows which have been completed are still editable, by re-
opening the window and editing them in the normal way. However, once a
report has been committed by clicking the button on the main window, all
text fields become read-only.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Navigation
Navigation in the morning report application is concerned mostly with
moving between the main window and the sub-applications.
Only bit, bulk materials and initialization details can call up further levels
of sub-application, although where additional data entry has been set up,
some windows will contain ADDITIONAL… and/or IADC… buttons
which will call up other data entry windows.

The main window gives the user access to all of the appropriate reporting
categories and to previous morning reports.
As data entry to each of the reporting categories is completed, the user
clicks the category’s COMPLETE button and the corresponding icon on
the main window will change from black on white to white on black —
allowing the user to see which aspects of the report still need to be
completed. The survey, coring and comments sections of the report are not
mandatory.
If the most recent report has been committed, the application will assume
that the user intends to start a new one. The new report will run from 0600
hours on the current date. If a report is incomplete, it may still be saved to
the database without having been committed.

IADC REPORTS… which call up the print setup window (see the section
on report generation at the end of this chapter).
The standard DEAP report viewer window will be used for viewing each of
these reports and for sending them to the printer .
Initialization Details
The initialization window contains the dates of when the rig arrived on
location, when it was spudded in and when the program started. The dates
form the basis for subsequent calculations about the duration of the
program: depth versus days, depth versus time, days from spud and AFE
start.
The data in this window will normally be written only once per well.

Special features
DATE ON LOCATION — completed automatically with data from the rig
BULK STORAGE CONFIGURATION… — provides access to the bulk
storage configuration window.
Bulk Materials Storage Configuration

This sub-application is used to define the way in which each bulk material
will be described. It is not concerned with the quantity of materials actually
present on the rig — that is entered via the bulk materials window.
Each definition consists of either three or four parts: the material’s name,
the terms in which it is measured, the units in which the quantity on the rig
is to be reported and, where appropriate, the quantity per unit.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
For instance, base oil (material name) might be measured in drums

(measurement units) of 55 gal/drum (quantity per unit) and reported by the
bulk total on the rig (reporting quantity). The user can opt to have the
consumption of the material during the reporting period included in the
morning drilling report.
When a new mix of cement is to be specified, the storage and reporting
descriptions are entered here after the user has clicked on the ADD MIX…
button on the bulk materials window. Cement type can be either NEAT,
BLENDED or TLW. If BLENDED or TLW has been selected, the user can
enter a free text DESCRIPTION of the cement.
The window can appear in two separate guises, as illustrated below,
depending on which sub-application has called it. The data which has to be
entered is the same in each case.
In the lower half of the window called up from the initialization data
window, there is a display of all bulk materials present on the rig. The user
may use the up and down arrows to scroll through the list as required.

Additional Data for the IADC/API Report

If IADC reporting has been set up within the facility defaults application
for the current facility, the IADC… button will be available and will call up
the IADC additional data window.
At the top of the window, there is a display of the names of the current
operator, well and rig, the report number and time to which the status
details refer.
If this window is not used, only the casing size and depth are recorded in
the morning report. The user can add further details about the last casing
tubing and liner and also a wireline record by entering data in the fields
provided.
Casing/tubing/liner details include size, make, weight, grade, the number
of joints, RKB to casing head and the depth to which they are set.
Wireline details include the wireline reel number, the wireline size, the
number of wirelines, the distance slipped, the cut off length, the number of
trips since the last cut and the cumulative number of trips.
The system will attempt to import all required data from the casing actual
application, but if this is not possible, manual data entry will be required.

Pumps
The pump window enables the user to review and edit the details
of the pumps on the rig. Pump details are presented in a table,
with entries for efficiency, stroke rate, liner size, circulation rate and status.
An additional column has been added to the pumps window to comply with
the IADC/API reporting requirements — the pump stroke length will be
added at the right hand side of the data entry columns. In addition, the
pump manufacturer’s name and type will be displayed at the left hand side
of each pump row.
The pump numbers, manufacturers, types and stroke length will be
imported from the rig initialization application and will not be editable.
When the window first opens the pump status of all pumps included will be
set to UNUSED and no details will be shown in the data columns.
Circulation rate will be calculated from efficiency, liner size, pump type
and stroke rate.

Additional IADC data

Most of the data in the additional IADC data window will be picked up
from the bits and BHA actual application, but there may be certain fields
which are not populated in this way. Data in such fields can be manually
entered. In fact, all of the data in the IADC window can be overwritten by
the user if the values shown are incorrect.
There may be multiple pages depending on the number of formations. The
arrow keys should be used to move between the pages.
Figure 17-11

BHA
The BHA window enables the user to review the details of the
BHAs run during the report interval; none of the text fields is
editable. The displayed data is obtained from the bit/BHA actual
application. The lower section of the window displays an abbreviated
description of the currently selected BHA.
Note: Dogleg severity does not appear within the application,

but the value is calculated.
The DBA can switch on IADC reporting and ADDITIONAL reporting for
the BHA sub-application.
When IADC reporting is switched on in the facility defaults application, an
IADC… button will be displayed on the window. This will call up the
additional IADC data window.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
The only difference in the BHA windows which appear when the
additional data feature has been set up by the DBA and when it has not, is
the appearance of an ADDITIONAL… button at the bottom of the screen
when additional data has been switched on. Because of this only one
illustration of the window has been included here.
The additional BHA data window will be displayed when the
ADDITIONAL… button is pressed.

Drilling Fluids
The drilling fluids window opens when the user clicks on the
mud icon on the main window. If the drilling fluids actual
application is in use, the application will import the last check data and the
fluid type option menu will be inactive. If it is not in use, the fluid type
used in the preceding morning report will be used as the default. However,
data from either source can be overwritten by the user, if necessary.
Depending on the user’s selection from the FLUID TYPE pick list, the
contents of the window will change to display text fields appropriate to the
selected fluid.
Additional data options

If additional data entry has been set up by the DBA, the ADDITIONAL…
button will appear at the bottom of the screen and a band in the lower part
of the window will hold injection details for the current well.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Water-based, Oil-based and Synthetic-based Muds

The basic window for water-based, oil-based and synthetic-based muds is
almost exactly the same, except for water-based muds, MBT and fluid loss
data fields are substituted for the ESV and chlorides data fields.

As regards the requirements of the IADC/API report, almost all of the
required mud data is already displayed on the drilling fluids window.
However, an additional IADC data window containing a chemicals section
will be available via the IADC… button. All of the fields in this window
will be read-only.
The additional IADC data window will be displayed when the user selects
the IADC… button on the fluid details window. The data displayed here is

Mud and Well Costs

Daily and cumulative values for mud costs and well costs are
displayed in this window. The mud costs are supplied by the
drilling fluids actual application, while the well costs come from daily cost
tracking.
If either set of data is unavailable, the relevant text fields will display the
corresponding entries from the previous morning drilling report.

Bulk Materials
The available quantities of the bulk materials can be entered via
this window. The units displayed for each of the material types
default to the selections made in the bulk materials storage configuration
window. The lower part of the window is devoted to cement batches, while
all other types of bulk material are described in the top half.

80494H-001 Rev. B / January 1997
Depending on the way in which the storage configuration for the batch has
been set up, the user will either enter a bulk quantity, or number of sacks
from which the bulk quantity will be calculated.
If the additional data option has been set up by the DBA, there will be an
additional field on the bulk materials details window — USED, in which
the user may enter the amount of the bulk material which has been used to
date. An extra column for the amount used will also appear in the bulk
materials table.
Adding Cement
When a new mix of cement is to be defined, the ADD MIX… button
causes the bulk materials storage configuration window to open. The user
enters the appropriate details there, and returns to the bulk materials
window to specify the quantity of the mix held on the rig.
Figure 17-24

Safety
The safety details window is used to record the times and dates
of the safety drills carried out on the rig. Two text fields display
the numbers of accident and incident free days; toggles enable the user to
indicate that an accident or incident has taken place.
Note: Only drills in the current day’s log can be deleted.
If the user selects either of the ACCIDENT/INCIDENT toggles the

corresponding text field will be zeroed. Accidents are divided into those
which cause a loss of time (LTAs) and those which do not.
When the additional data option has been activated the only change to the
screen is the ADDITIONAL… button located at the bottom of the screen,
and so only the standard window is illustrated here.

Additional Safety Data

For DEAP v3.0, the text field DAYS SINCE LAST SPILL has been added
to the additional safety data window. This is defined as the number of (non-
suspended) days since the last spill.
If a spill is reported, the field will be zeroed; otherwise, the default value
will be that recorded for the previous day incremented by one. On the first
day of a program, the default is the time since the last spill associated with
the current rig, or zero if none have been recorded for the rig.

Morning Completions Report DEAP 3.0 User Reference Manual
Overview
The morning completions report application is similar in many respects to
the morning drilling report, indeed they have many windows in common.
In this section of the user manual, only those elements which are specific to
the completions report will be documented — the user is referred to the
morning drilling report section for information on all other windows.
Links with Other Applications

The morning completions report draws information from several other
applications to reduce the amount of data entry required from the user.
Some of the applications are optional, so they will not always be present to
provide data; in this case, the user will have to enter the data manually.
The applications which send data to the morning drilling report are:
• Bit/BHA actual
• Daily cost tracking (if it has been used)
• Directional survey calculator
• Drilling fluid actual (if it has been used)
• Casing actual (if it has been used)
• Progress log
• Rig initialization
• Stock control (if it has been used)
• Geology actual (if it has been used)
• Well initialization
• FIT report
Moving through Lists of Entries

Many of the windows in this application present lists of entries. At the top
of each list, there will be a line giving the numbers of the visible entries and
an indication of the total number of entries in the list. The up and down
arrow buttons enable the user to scroll through the list, a page at a time.

COMPLETE Buttons
Most of the morning report generator windows have COMPLETE buttons.
The buttons become active when all mandatory data entry text fields have
been completed. They save the data to the database and close the current
sub-application window.
Text fields in windows which have been completed are still editable, by re-
opening the window and editing them in the normal way. However, once a
report has been committed by clicking the button on the main window, all
text fields become read-only.

Navigation in the morning report application is mostly between the main

window and the sub-applications. Only bit, bulk materials and initialization
details can call up further levels of sub-application, although where
additional data entry has been set up, some windows will contain an
ADDITIONAL button which calls a further data entry window.

The main window gives the user access to all of the appropriate reporting
categories and to previous morning reports.
As data entry to each of the reporting categories is completed, the user
clicks the category’s COMPLETE button and the corresponding icon on
the main window will change from black on white to white on black —
enabling the user see which aspects of the report still need to be completed.
The completion, production and comments sections of the report are not
mandatory.
If the most recent report has been committed, the application will assume
that the user intends to start a new one: the new report will run from 0600
hours on the current date.
Note: If a report is incomplete, it may still be saved to the

database without having been committed.

Initialization Details
The initialization window contains the dates of when the rig arrived on
location, when it was spudded in and when the program started. The dates
form the basis for subsequent calculations about the duration of the
program: depth versus days, depth versus time, days from spud and AFE
start. The window also provides access to the bulk storage configuration
window.
The data in this window will normally be written only once per well.
