Well casing shoe schematic

plugin-casing-shoe 1.10.5 and plugin-wells 4.1.2 minimum versions required

The casing shoe schematic chart provides a visualization of the transversal section of a well, illustrating the well construction and previewing the bit depth position in real time. The schematic shows casing structures such as liners, slotted liners, lithology, target formations by depth of the casing string.

Static data used to render the casing shoe schematic at well parameters tab:

Well design overview static information used to plot the chart

Advantages :


  • Preview well design phase information such as casing diameters, bit depth, lithology, and target formations, and casing structure including liners, screen, slotted liners or open hole by depth

  • Go along with the real time bit depth position using the standard configured channel

  • Use well casing shoe chart for different wells with dashboards filters or a predefined well

  • Plan ahead knowing where it is advantageous to set the casing, defining where important formations are located

To include the chart go to edit mode at the dashboard and the option for casing shoe schematic widget will be available:

Casing shoe schematic widget at the dashboard

It is possible configure the chart to select the well by available wells list or with dashboard filter:

Casing shoe well configuration

If the well is selected directly in the widget, without using filters, it is possible to define the source of the data to be displayed. Options include “Execution” (from well parameters), “Design” (from well designs), or “Intervention”.

Casing Shoe source data configuration

For the well design, a selector is displayed with the design options registered for the well.

Well design selected as source

For the interventions, a selector is displayed with the options 'executed' or 'planned'.

Intervention selected as source

If the configuration is selected with dashboard filter it is possible to select the asset at the dashboard:

It is possible to configure the graph styling by changing the presentation format to mirrored or simple. Additionally, you can choose whether or not to display the lithology and decide if the section details will be presented in a long or short format:

To show the bit position in real time the bit depth standard channel must be configured and with the data management enabled for the used well:

Bit depth standard channels configuration
Bit depth channel at data management
Bit depth channel receiving values

Then by hovering the mouse over the bit it will show the depth position:

It is possible to configure the objectives at the well parameters tab to preview by depth in the chart:

Preview of objectives and formation in chart

If the well is configured as onshore the surface is displayed instead of water depth:
