DirectionalPlan Features

Directional Well Planning, Anti-Collision, and Engineering Analysis Tools

From trajectory design and anti-collision analysis to survey corrections and engineering reports, DirectionalPlan brings the well-planning workflow together in your browser.

Directional Well Planning

Design and Compare Well Trajectories

Create target-based directional plans using S-Well, Slant, Build/Turn, and other planning methods. Calculate survey stations and adjust the trajectory as design requirements change.

Compare alternative designs and review wellpath geometry in Plan, Section, and 3D views.

ISCWSA-Aligned Anti-Collision Analysis

Wellbore Separation and Positional Uncertainty

Evaluate planned trajectories against nearby offset wells using center-to-center distance, separation factor, and ISCWSA-aligned positional uncertainty modeling.

DirectionalPlan's uncertainty and clearance calculations have been benchmarked against published ISCWSA reference cases. Analyze separation trends, uncertainty ellipses, and potential wellbore proximity concerns using assigned survey error models.

ISCWSA Survey Error Models & .IPM Support

Choose from built-in Instrument Performance Models (IPMs) or import compatible .IPM files. Review weighting functions and individual error terms used to calculate wellbore positional uncertainty and uncertainty ellipses for separation-factor analysis.

Survey Corrections

Beta

See how survey errors can affect wellbore position.

Analyze raw MWD measurements, investigate potential sensor errors, and compare raw and analyzed survey positions using graphical views and uncertainty information.

Understand how potential measurement corrections may influence the calculated position of your well.

CAD Viewing & Boundary Import

View CAD Drawings and Import Boundaries

Open supported DWG files in a read-only CAD viewer to inspect drawing layers, site geometry, roads, and reference lines.

Select and classify relevant drawing entities, then import the selected boundaries into DirectionalPlan.

Review drawing coordinates and confirm the coordinate reference system before importing geometry.

Reports & Wall Plots

Turn your well plan into a complete engineering deliverable.

Generate directional planning reports, anti-collision reports, and customizable wall plot PDFs directly from DirectionalPlan.

The Falcon Ridge 3H example combines a vertical section, plan view, formation tops, well path design, and well details into one layout.
