Drilling Operations To Analysis
Workflows

The Drilling Operations to Analysis Workflows all begin in OpenWells

and end using WELLPLAN. In all of these workflows, the drilling
operation report data is input into OpenWells and then the data is
analyzed using WELLPLAN.

Symbols Used in the Workflows

This symbol indicates data input in one application is shared with
another application.

Workflow A: Kick Operations Analysis

Applications Needed
• OpenWells
• WELLPLAN

Overview
The Kick Operations Analysis Workflow, is a workflow that can be
used for performing well control analysis using WELLPLAN based on
data entered using OpenWells.

This example workflow used in this section includes using OpenWells,

and WELLPLAN.

1. OpenWells: This workflow begins in OpenWells by defining the

rig contractor, the rig, and the rig operations. Next, a drilling event
prior to the kick is created including Daily Operations, and Casing
reports. In the final step, a Kick report is created. Data from all
reports are shared with WELLPLAN and used in the Well Control
analysis.

2. WELLPLAN: WELLPLAN is used to perform well control

analysis using the kill sheet. Within WELLPLAN, a new case is
created that is based on an OpenWells Kick report. This workflow
includes only well control analysis.

vi 5000.1

The following diagram describes where the data required for this
workflow is input into OpenWells in order to be available to the
WELLPLAN Kill Sheet.

This workflow does not demonstrate all the functionality of the

software.

The intent of this workflow is to demonstrate integration between the applications

and does not include all of the software’s functionality. There are other possible
ways the applications could be used together, as well as separately. Refer to the
individual product’s online help for more information.
