SOFTWARE Stoner Engineering Software |  | SES is for geologists who are dissatisfied with drafting-tool methods of geosteering. SES is 3D technical geosteering software that makes wellbore stratigraphic tracking quick-n-easy, accurate, and easily shared. Unlike any other geosteering software, SES provides a complete suite of software features to handle all of your horizontal drilling needs. SES is horizontal and directional well bore drilling software...from pre-spud well planning with earth model data integration through landing and 3D technical geosteering / stratigraphy interpretation while drilling or post drilling. Includes the 3DStratBlock technical geosteering method with Relative Stratigraphic Depth (RSD) signal mapping, traditional 3D/2D well planning, survey calcs, Technical Hole Deviation (THD) calcs, THD logs, steering guidance from patented Fuzzy Logic control technology, and multiple advanced visual geologic strata interpretation tools using LWD (gamma ray, resistivity, etc.) and other data. | Friendly Drilling Software | FDS is rig site software for drilling data capture/storage and daily reporting. Data entry is quick-and-easy and reports are graphical. And, it's totally FREE! |
SES - STONER ENGINEERING SOFTWARE The purpose of SES is to: Help operations execute optimal directional steering in order to drill through as much payzone as possible, AND/OR Post analyze / geosteer without lagged-data and real-time-stress issues, in effort to extract as much geologic information and understanding about the reservoir as possible
SES is practical software with advanced yet easy-to-use tools to determine: WHERE your horizontal wellbore is stratigraphically, AND (if used while drilling) HOW to steer through or to your payzone
Geologic earth models (e.g., formation top / structure contour maps) are great for horizontal well planning (and easily entered from grid data and easily viewed in SES), but, for real-time operations, constant and intelligent interpretation of virgin data is critical to maximize effective payzone penetration at minimal cost. Interpretation of the new data subsequently redefines the geologic earth model. Technical Geosteering with SES provides an estimate of the payzone formation location in 3D space over the entire horizontal well. The location and frequency of faults may also be identified, which can have multiple impacts on future development and/or remediation activities. SES exploits cutting-edge FRIENDLY database technology to produce an experience like no other, with respect to directional steering data management, navigation, visualization, manipulation, monitoring, and geologic interpretation. SES provides unprecedented mathematical incorporation of real-time directional well planning and surveying for most-informed real-time directional steering decision making. The odds--of knowing where the payzone is, while drilling or post-drilling--are maximized with SES. SES is industry's most advanced fully integrated directional planning and execution 3D technical geosteering software available and the only software that operates with 3DStratBlocks and RSD (Relative Stratigraphic Depth) signal mapping, and THD Technology. It's also the only related software that eliminates distortion (from vertical section projection) by going 3D. But, if you only need general 3D directional well planning and surveying capabilities without THD, technical geosteering, or steering guidance, you can simply register a select version (SES 2.1) and use it for FREE.
