What is COMPASS?
‘The Computerized Planning and Ansilysis Survey System (COMPASS)
is comprehensive software tool designed for use in dircetional well
design by cither eit companies or ditcetional contractors. COMPASS
for Windows is a tool that enables you lo quickly and accurately plan
‘wells ant identify potential problems at the earliest possible stage.
All of the fealures for complex well trajectory design, monitoring anid
analysis are included. ‘The list oF features include survey & planning,
methods, lorque-drag optimization, anti-collision plotting with traveling
ceylinder and ellipse of uncertainty.
COMPASS is desiined to increase the efficiency and eost-oflectiveness:

Modules
COMPASS consists of three main modules integrated by a host of
supporting features and an underlying data steuctues,
Survey
‘The Survey module calculates « Wellbore’s trajectory. Compass
considers 8 survey to bea set of observations made with a single survey
tog! in the same too! run. Data ean be entered in a spreadsheet or
imporied and processed using industry-standard calculation methods.
‘The resulting survey files ean be edited, printed or analyzed. Surveys
may be spliced together to form a definitive ‘best path’ usiny a tool
interval editor. Special provisions are made for Inettial and Inclination
‘only surveys. Survey provides an advanced “project aliead” [rom survey
station to target, formation or well plan,
Two methods enable you to assess survey data for incorseelly eniexed
survey data or bad readings from the survey tool, Input Validation will
isolate bad survey data as soon as itis entered. Vaxying Curvature
isolates incorrect survey station data by highlighting theirinconsistency.
Survey analysis graphs are available that produce comparison plots of
survey and plan data for a number of different variables.
COMPASS survey data can be referenced to any number of user
defined datumis and can inelude a number of canned or custom formated
report layouts that you can send t6 an ASC file. You ean also export
survey data to a raw survey file or output it o.@ number of eaaned or
custom export file formats.

integrated with Wellbore uncertainlies that are shown on graphs or
reported as separation ratios. Warnings may be configured to alert the
user when the Wellbores converge within a minimum ratio or distance
specified by company policy.

Who Should Use COMPASS
COMPASS is designed for engineers with different responsibilities and
for different types of organizations such as Oil Companies,
Direetional/Suevey Contractors, and Engineering Consultants. Dilferent
users use COMPASS in differeni ways and work with different modules

Systematic Error Ellipse
This is based on SPE paper 9223 by C.J.M. Wolffand J.P. de Ward,
first published in the Journal of Petroleum Technology in December,
1981. ‘The model is a statistical treatment of the distribution of errors
caused by internal and external influences. The paper demonstrates that
the major eauses of error are systematic (that is, they happen
consistently in one vector direction) from one survey seading to the next.
There are error sources that are random, but they are assumed to be small
and tend to cance! out over a number of survey readings. The
‘mathematical methods applied by the paper have become industry
ancard, but some of the example coefficient values and weightings are
not capable of modelling modem directional survey instruments (ic.
MWD aind Rate Gyroscopes).

Error Surface
‘When selecting an error surface you define the shape of the
uncertainty envelope about the wellhore. The error surface choice
allows the user to override the standard ellipse to ellipse (default)
talio calculations in anti-collision, and instead uses the largest
dimension of errorat a point to define a cone about the Wellbore. tn
‘most eases, this will he mxijor axis of the ellipsoid. Using the
circular conie method is more conservative and produces lower
tatig values and hence more warnings, The choices are as follows:
+ Elliptical Conie: ‘The elliptical method interpolates the error
surlace in cach wellbore hy assunting the surface is an ellipse
‘vith major and mipor axis perpendicular to the Wellbore.
Because the center to center plane can intersect the error
ellipsoid at any direction from the Wellbore, the resulting radius
used in the separation factor calculation ranges from the
minimum dimension of the ellipse (ininor axis) to a maximum
dimension (major axis). The ellipse also hasan intermicdiate axis
‘with a magnitude somewhere between the minor and major axis
dimensions,
+ Circalar Conie: The circular eonie method uses the larges
dimension (major axis) of the error ellipsoid at a peint to detine
spheroid about the Wellbore, Projected down the Wellbore, this
becomes a cone. Using the cireular conie method is always most
conservative because it uses the largest dimension of the ellipse
and therefure produces lower ratio values and hence more.
‘warnings.
+ Combined Covariance: This method combines the errors on
the reference and offset by covariance addition before any
distance calculations are performed. ‘The error distance is then
computed by the ‘elliptical conic" method on the resulting single
ellipsoid. Where Casings are ineluded the radii are subtracted
{rom the center- to -center distance. The separation factor
Uetived from the combined covariance technique ean be directly
correlated to collision risk as it represents the standard deviation

Warning Type
There are a number of methods for waming the user of potential
collision problems. The choice made here will decide how the
Anticollision Warning Levels are used. ‘The options are:

separation distance divided by the combined error radii of the

+ Depth Ratio The warning given will depend on the ratio of the
separation distance divided by the depth times a ratio (i.e.

Working at the Well Level
A Well is simply a surfice location, referenced from the Site local
coordinate system. A well can be located at the site center or offset some
listance N/S - FAW from the site enter. Ifa geodetic system is
configured for the Project, equivatent Map Coordinates are calculated
automatically. Ifn template has been ereated lor the Site, a Well can be
assigned to a slot in that template. In the laiter case, the well location
assumes thet of the slot. For Land wells, a Site and a Well are ofiea the
same thing. So, local coordinates from the Site for the Well are set to
ON/S, 0 E/W, with the names being identical.
‘AWell can have one or more Welibores assigned to it. For example, the
original wellbore, with one or more sidetracks tied on to it at different
kick-off depths. In COMPASS, any wellpath trajectory can be traced
irectly trom its TD back to the Well surface location,

{directional well plannipg solutions. Solutions are available for a wide
range of planning probloms from simple 2-dimensional stant and
‘S-shaped wells to complex 3-dimensional wells up to and beyond the
horizontal, threaded through any number of targets. Integration with
other Landmark software enables directional weil plans to be quickly

Defining Targets
Using Targets
‘To use largets in well planning, the planner must have the lovation and
geometry of any drilling and geological targets defined within the
‘Target Editor. These targets mast be assigned to the eurrent Wellpath
before they can be used, Most of the planning methods enable you to
selecta target to plan to. By dofaul, the planning methods designs to the
aiming point of the targét, though there is usually an Adjust button
available that allows you to manually move the aiming point. 1fa target
isnot defined, the well planner ean usuaily cnter the location as a point
in space: TVD, Northing and Easting from the local coordinate origin,
Plans that are designed to target lovations remain linked to those targets.
Ifa target location is changed, all linked plans are updated
automatically. ‘Therefore, the plan and target editors ean be used
concurrently while directional well planning.
In COMPASS, a target is a subsurface location (TVD, N, E) with an
assigned geometry and orientation which may be used for planning or
wellpath monitoring, COMPASS enables you to define and assign
gcologic and/or drilling targets at the Project level, which may then be
selected by any mumber of Wellpaths within the Project.
Once created, Targets can be used hy the Survey and Planning modules,
and can appear on most of the available graphics and be referenced in
planning end survey reports.
Target Geometry
Each target van have a shape defined about its location. A target ean be
geomeltic (either a Point, Rectangle, Circle, of Ellipse) or non-
goometsic (defined as a Polygon with any number of points).
160. COMPASS Training Manuel LandmarkChapter §: Planning Module
She hill wacbicdglon gomoae od zolawa bende
Point Circle Ellipse Rectangle
ys
Polygonal Targets
ea aS
Each target has an aiming point, the location that the Plan Editor
methods aim toward. For gcometrie targets the aiming point defaults to
the geometric center. However, this aiming point can be offset laterally
anid vertically from the goomeiric center using X & Y offsets and
thickness up and down, Thickness enables a planar depth lo be assigned
to the geometrical target. Polygonal targets can have variable
thicknesses defined, which enables wedge or drillers cones to be
miodoled. All targets can be rotated about the aiming point and inclined
from the horizontal along any azimuth; this enables a target to model
‘geologic dip and strike.
