Integrated well planning, drilling engineering analysis and visualization allows drilling engineers to perform quick and accurate well design by incorporating the geological model.

Paradigm™ Sysdrill® is designed to reduce drilling risk and cost by enabling the drilling engineer to model every phase of well bore construction within a single application. The high level of engineering analysis available in Sysdrill enables users to identify and eliminate potential design problems with flexibility and accuracy.

The Sysdrill application suite includes well planning, survey management, anti-collision, torque and drag, hydraulics, casing design, cementing, and well control in a single integrated package.

Improve well planning accuracy

• Target selection from seismic, reservoir, and log data for reduced well planning cycle times, improved wellbore placement, and reduced drilling risk
• Geometric and engineering constrained well planning to ensure wellbore drillability
• Positional uncertainty modeling to allow target sizing and survey tool program design

Improve drilling safety

• Survey management and anti-collision analysis minimize the possibility of collision
• Project-ahead-during-drilling and sidetracking help to determine how best to drill ahead and optimize wellbore positioning within the reservoir
• Casing and mud design to ensure wellbore hydraulic integrity

Reduce drilling risk

• BHA (bottom hole assembly) design to allow wellbore drillability
• Fatigue analysis enables prediction and avoidance of mechanical failure of the drill string
• Pressure data extractions along the wellbore to allow for avoidance of pressure hazards, improved casing seat placement, and optimized hydraulic design
