11. Drilling Software Free Download

Here are the links of some of the useful softwares and spreadsheets I have collected from various websites which are available for FREE DOWNLOAD . I hope it would be benificial to many.

Please do leave your comments if any.

Schlumberger's i-Handbook

i-Handbook, an electronic version of the Field Data Handbook, displays data that helps compute results fast. This eliminates the time-consuming and error-prone practice of first assimilating data and obtaining results using a separate calculator.

The i-Handbook was designed with three objectives

retain the book format of the Field Data Handbook
present data without additional training
focus on the needs of a varied audience, from on-site personnel to design and planning engineers in offices.

An advanced resource

An interactive wellbore diagram lets you build a graphical view of the wellbore with drag-and-drop data from the tubular tables. You can define various flow paths in the well. The volumes of defined sections are calculated automatically and displayed on the diagram.

Quick and accurate

Tubing and casing data tables can be expanded so you can see additional physical properties. You can send data entered in any calculator or a particular wellbore to your team. Correct information is exchanged fast.

Design help saves time

A thorough understanding of the treatment and the effects of recommended wellbore actions is communicated through visual, sometimes animated, schematics. You can prepare diagrams illustrating the various combinations of pipe strings. This lets you create realistic, multiple design options in one session.

More data

New information is included in sections on pipe, tubing, casing, tanks, volume, fracturing, cement, and acid/oil/brines.

Minimum system requirements:

PC Windows®
200-MHz Pentium® processor-based computer
Microsoft® Windows 2000 or Windows XP
128 MB of RAM
10-MB free disk space
i-Handbook is not compatible with Microsoft® Windows 95, 98 or NT®

Schlumberger's ToolPlanner

The ToolPlanner application is written in Java and provides job planning support for various wireline and LWD services. For each service, the user enters parameters describing expected logging conditions, formation parameters, and desired results. The calculations performed and the displayed results are specific to the selected services. For example, the CMR planner outputs a suggested logging speed and a recommended set of parameters to set in the acquisition system, as well as plots that demonstrate the expected spread of results caused by uncertainties in the input formation properties.

Available only for PCs, once ToolPlanner software has been downloaded and installed, it can be subsequently run without an Internet connection. However, a Web browser is required to view the “Help” information. The software is licensed for 6 months from installation, after which a new version must be downloaded and installed.

Halliburton's eRedbook® Software

For over 80 years the Halliburton Cementing Tables, known as the RedBook®, have been the industry-preferred technical data reference for calculations used in drilling, cementing and/or completing oil and gas wells. The eRedBook software is a digital version of portions of the RedBook. eRedBook software is offered as a free download containing calculators, interactive wellbore schematics, and data from the American Petroleum Institute (API).
