During the drilling operations phase the positional uncertainty must be monitored, especially when drilling in hole sections which exhibit collision risk.

All borehole position calculations for well design, the survey database and well monitoring shall be performed with the Directional Drilling Contractor software.

Clearance Ratio

The Clearance Ration is defined as: 

CR =                         Centre to centre distance (Well A - Well B)

           Well A ellipse radius of uncertainty + Well B ellipse radius of uncertainty

 

Ratio Warning Levels

Clearance Ratio <   1.0       Stop Drilling

Clearance Ratio <   1.25     Close in nearby well, cease drilling

Clearance Ratio <   1.5       Continue to drill cautiously advise base and monitor continually
