HawkEye Field Connect

HawkEye Field has been perfected over the course of 20 years, changing and growing with the needs of the directional drilling industry. Its features can be the core of the HawkEye platform, allowing field users to enter critical job information and monitor wells everywhere in the world.

3D SPACE

The 3D space allows for comprehensive well tracking and visualization from any angle. This fluid space contains not only offset wells, plans and projections, but also customizable targets, planes, lithologies and casing indicators.


Working in conjunction with the 2D views and the project data tree, as well as the survey list, the 3D space is what makes HawkEye™ far and away the easiest and most powerful tool for well planning and monitoring.HawkEye™ allows the user to customize the appearance of everything in the 3D space in an easy way.

DAILY ITEMS AND BHA

HawkEye Field comes with an integrated reporting package for the independent directional driller or directional drilling companies. Based on the legacy WinSURV2 package, this integrated module comes as part of HawkEye license purchased.


  • Each job in the Daily/BHA is associated with one or more curves in the main HawkEye interface
  • Each job contains a Tool List, BHA builder and list, and daily activities log
  • 20 different kinds of reports can be exported in PDF or Excel, and combined into multi-reports

PROJECTIONS

The user has at their disposal a series of nine types of projections which can be generated quickly. The projections can be sub-divided into two general categories: targetless and targeted projections.


  • Sensor-to-Bit- Allows a projection to be strung to a bit from where your surveyed position is. From there you can append other kinds of projections to the end.
  • MD & TVD- Hold a particular inclination and azimuth and goes in a straight path for the defined distance.
  • Nudge- Mimics minimum curvature calculations but allows for the nudging of a variety of different user-defined parameters.
  • Multi-Nudge- Designed for rotary steerable systems and calculates an unlimited number of Nudge projections end to end.
  • Horizontal- Will project to a horizontal plane, which is considered a 2D target. Horizontal plane is defined by an RKBTVD, a max dip angle and a max dip direction.
  • Slant a.k.a. DLS, Build-and-Hold- Can solve for a hold angle by providing a dogleg severity or solve for dogleg severity by providing a hold angle.
  • Aligned- Set two dogleg severities, as well as desired inclination and azimuth at target.
  • Back-on-Track (BOT)- Set two dogleg severities and a minimum distance in order to intersect your proposal.

PROJECTION TOOLS

There are a number of powerful non-projection tools found in the 3D space of HawkEye™, many of which are exclusive to having a workable 3D space.


  • The Sight is an integral part of the 3D view in HawkEye™, a visual aid that follows the user’s point of view or “Look-at Point” along a curve. It is customizable and can be toggled on and off.
  • HawkEye™ allows the user to append a projection to the end of any curve.
  • Interpolation is a method of constructing new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points. In HawkEye™, the Interpolation tool allows the user to either merely CALL FOR A SURVEY ENTRY into a list, or to use an interpolation point as a TIE-IN POINT for a sidetrack curve. The most notable aspect of interpolation in HawkEye is that the program is constantly interpolating in the 3D space, as frequently as one foot at a time.

REPORTS

Hawkeye can produce six different kinds of reports: survey, critical points, projection only, interpolated survey, criticality, and anti-collision reports. The user can use templates, or design personal templates by combining and re-ordering any of over 40 data columns, ready to print, email or export to PDF, CSV or Excel.


  • Survey Reports- This is the default type of report, which presents all of a curve’s surveys under critical points headings.
  • Projection Reports- This will show all svys from an active projection, and can be included as part of a the standard report.
  • Interpolated Reports- This report is useful for interpolating surveys across different types of wells. It has different interval options between a proposal and an as-drilled well.
  • Critical Points Reports- This report displays only the geometrically defined critical points and user comments for a curve.
  • Criticality Reports- A special kind of least distance report where several different wells can be compared to determine dangerous proximities.
  • Anti-Colision Reports- These comprehensive readouts include all values related to separation factor and include a ladder plot as cover page.

QUICKPLOTS

The QuickPlot module is a direct, easy and fast way to create plots. The most prominent feature is the ability to add a 3D snapshot anywhere in the plot itself. This interface uses the What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get interface, which makes it easy to drop in any number of elements and get on paper exactly what you see on the screen. Labeling and all colors are fully customizable.

DATA ORGANIZATION

HawkEye Field Connect uses a local SQL database to store all data, but presents that data in easy-to-navigate Data Trees in the program. The databases themselves can easily be copied as backups, sent to others and renamed as needed.


Additionally, with the use of HawkEye Fusion, all SQL data can be automatically sent to a centralized cloud SQL server shared by all authorized users, so field users never have to email a report or database again.

CONNECT WITH FUSION

HawkEye Field Connect is linked to HawkEye Fusion (separate optional service), so users in the field do not have to send emails of their surveys or their databases to the office. Seamless data integration means more data security, more operational efficiency and more accuracy. Office personnel can more closesly monitor and analyze data from the field in order to make more informed decisions faster.

SEPARATION FACTOR AND UNCERTAINTY MODELING

Software that uses a pedal curve method of calculation never visualize that pedal curve in a 3D space. Because HawkEye™ does so, along with the underlying ellipse, it becomes easier than ever to visually understand areas of uncertainty associated with a well at any depth.

TORQUE AND DRAG

Sofdrill's Torque and Drag module is integrated with HawkEye and will automatically bring in any curve's BHA and survey data when the module is launched.
