A full pad plan for my well, from my own data

Your fluid report sets the pressures, your deviation survey sets the geometry, and anything no imported file can measure stays exactly as entered. Every row below says which of the three it is.

My well path

No survey loaded — the path is designed from the plan

Drop or paste the directional survey for this well — measured depth, inclination and azimuth, in feet or metres. The plan takes its landing depth, lateral length and heading from it, the well path export becomes your surveyed hole, and the 3D grid and viewer cut along the path as drilled.

My core and fluid reports

Nothing measured yet: closure uses the published HFTS-1 core fit and the pressures use the starting fluid. Load your own reports below to replace both.

Core: example fit

Fluid: starting report

Well these reports belong to

Core report — sets closure stress and rock stiffness

No core loaded. One row per cored interval: depth, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, closure or minimum stress, and — where the core cut a fracture — propped width and proppant concentration.

Fluid report — sets the pressures and net pressure

No fluid report loaded. A lab report with the stated gravity, gas-oil ratio and bubble point, plus the liberation table, is enough.

My well, my completion

Spacing and stage count are completion decisions, and the rock constants stand as entered until a core report measures them. Everything else on this page comes off an imported file.

Stage spacing along the hole (ft)

Stages

Let my survey's lateral length set this (none imported yet)

Clusters per stage (–)

Completed lateral (ft)

Used when no survey is imported. 0 ⇒ stages × spacing.

Proppant (lb per completed ft)

Spread over the geometry above, so stage count and spacing drive the per-stage job the economics step prices.

What the hauling costs

42 mi one way

Loads are this plan's own sand and water divided by the hauler's capacity. The distance, mileage rate, load fee and standby rate set the price of each load — and the round trip sets how many loads one truck can turn in a day.

Hauling fresh water costs more than hauling the sand — price a temporary water line before locking the budget.

No fluid imported yet

The pressures in this plan come from your own fluid, so import a PVT report first on the import page. A deviation survey there is optional — it sets stage spacing and how many stages cover the lateral. You can still read one fracture's own length, width and proppant against the starting plan on the fracture model.

Want to hand-tune the plan afterwards? Open the expert form or look at the fluid on its own.
