3D Visualization of Wells

Overview: Well Completions Map
Web map solution needed for analyzing well completions data
Geocortex Essentials user interface
FME is used to provide datasets for the map and for creating on-demand 3D PDFs
Completions Web Map
FME Jobs Spatialize Data
FME is used to spatialize well surface locations, wellbores, and perforation zones
Perforation zones are created using min and max depth values and querying directional survey points within that range, then creating a line and buffering
FME Server runs these 3 jobs daily and reports results via email. These are not very interesting so are not in scope of this presentation
Wells with Wellbores + Perfs
“Interesting visual, but what would this look like in 3D?”
How to easily visualize in 3D?
3D geospatial viewer not available in GeocortexEssentials
Most 3D visualizers are “heavy” apps
How can we solve this?
FME + 3D PDF!

UWI_LIST and USER_EMAIL are published parameters for 3D_pdf_completions_runner.fmw
Async mode is used because we don’t want to wait for a response. The results are emailed.

3D GeoSpatial PDF
How Is This Achieved?
2 Workbenches were necessary when this was initially developed
Needed to calculate square bounding box parameters from the well list
3D PDF Creator Workbench
3D Borepath Details
3D Surface Locations
3D Depth Markers
3D Perforation Zones
3D Surface Imagery
Going forward
FeatureReader now has BBOX parameters for WMS! Simplify to one workbench
Allow options for different basemaps (topo, street, etc)
Add surface elevation (DEM)?
Add additional data to PDF like wellbore casings, specific perforation areas, etc.

*Dependent on databases, web services, etc.
FME Enhancements?
Labeling/Text in 3D
More efficient 3D buffering
3D buffering for “True Solid” takes a very long time
3DBufferer (custom transformer) crashes randomly when trying to buffer line features
Feature Reader for WMS with extents
Capability exists in 2015.0 version
Thank You!
