The following shows some of the feedback from the field and some possible remedies that will ensure that the well plan is improved for the next iteration:

Problems 1. h llowfo m onc n’ k h buld . 2. Rotating the tangent drops 0.5 per 100. 3. Formation at 6700 to 6800 TVD is too soft. 4. n’ g o go bo 5.2 d gs/100. 5. Formation tops are always early. Remedies 1. Build at 1 then 1.5 then 2 in shorter sections. 2. Design the tangent as a 0.5 per 100 drop. 3. Either pass through at low inc or design a drop. 4. Use the RSS actual DLS value in the design. 5. Compensate to observed depths.

Points to Ponder

Well planning is not part of the remit of this book but suffice to say that geometrical solutions produced by good software are only the beginning. Each well experience should inform the next design.
