DecisionSpace® Well Engineering Software

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new Landmark website. You will be redirected to the new location shortly.

DecisionSpace® Well Engineering software is the latest evolution in Landmark’s over twenty years of innovations in well construction information solutions.  Building upon the industry leading WELLPLAN™ software suite, DecisionSpace Well Engineering software extends and simplifies the science through dramatic advancements in ease of use and data visualization.

For existing WELLPLAN users that are current with maintenance and support payments there are no additional license fees to upgrade to DecisionSpace Well Engineering, and they can even use both WELLPLAN and DecisionSpace Well Engineering at the same time on the same machine.  For more information on this free license upgrade, contact your local Landmark representative.

Benefits

Configure the right tools for any job

Select the optimum rig and equipment, string components, and fluids to drill any type of well (onshore, offshore, deepwater, high pressure/high temperature, 3D directional profiles, horizontal, and extended reach).  Model your pipe strings to define optimum windows of operation during the design and execution phases of your well.  Anticipate risks and know how to drill faster without compromising the safety of the operation.

Dramatically simple to use

For both the novice and expert user alike, the completely redesigned user interface provides a simple approach to input data and powerful graphical visualizations capabilities to interpret it better and faster.  Output driving input methodology identifies the required data and provides hyperlinks to the appropriate input panel.  The user simply clicks on the hyperlinks and inputs the required data and the application does the rest.  The interactive wellbore schematic provides visual feedback throughout.  The dramatically enhanced usability typically requires minimal training for existing WELLPLAN software users to master, while new users can be brought up to speed fast.

Drilling Hydraulics

Model pressure losses across the circulating system of the rig and the well pipe string, estimate the equivalent circulating density (ECD) across the annular space, and analyze formation cuttings transport and its effect on pressure and ECD calculations.  Analyze temperature effects using 4 different rheological models, fluid compressibility, Fann Viscometer readings at different temperature points, critical fluid velocity, bit nozzle size calculations for optimized rate of penetration.

Torque and Drag Analysis

Plan and analyze drilling, casing and completion running operations and assess the impact of predicted loads related to torque and drag.  Main calculations are: Tension, Torque, Side force, Fatigue, Tri-axial Stress.  A top down analysis mode allows users to know accurate forces acting along the string all the way down to the bottom of the well based on surface parameters.  It also accounts the effect of hydraulic parameters like fluid properties, flow rate, diverse fluid columns and pressures.

Well engineering integration

All the results and analysis performed in the DecisionSpace Well Engineering software are stored in EDM, the most widely used database for drilling and completions applications in the world.  This data is available across the Landmark suite of drilling applications for other specific drilling, casing, or costing analysis.  The applications can operate in a standalone or multi-user environment enabling you to scale from a single user to corporate wide system.
