Abstract
Planning and/or drilling wellbores. At least some of the various embodiments are methods including: receiving data indicative of position of a first wellbore; reading data indicative of position of an offset wellbore; reading data indicative of a fracture diameter for the offset wellbore; calculating a first positional uncertainty of the first wellbore; calculating a second positional uncertainly of the offset wellbore taking into account the data indicative of position and the data indicative of fracture diameter; and generating a value indicative of proximity of the positional uncertainties.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- receiving data indicative of position of a first wellbore, the receiving by a computer system;
- reading data indicative of position of an offset wellbore, the reading by the computer system;
- reading data indicative of a fracture diameter for the offset wellbore, the reading by the computer system;
- calculating, by the computer system, a first positional uncertainty of the first wellbore;
- calculating a second positional uncertainly of the offset wellbore taking into account the data indicative of position and the data indicative of fracture diameter;
- and
- generating a value indicative of proximity of the positional uncertainties.
A computer system comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory coupled to the processor;
- the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- receive data indicative of position of a first wellbore;
- read data indicative of position of an offset wellbore;
- read data indicative of a fracture diameter for the offset wellbore;
- calculating a first positional uncertainty of the first wellbore;
- calculating a second positional uncertainly of the offset wellbore based on the data indicative of position and the data indicative of fracture diameter;
- and
- generate a value indicative of proximity of the positional uncertainties.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- receive data indicative of position of a first wellbore;
- read data indicative of position of an offset wellbore;
- read data indicative of a fracture diameter for the offset wellbore;
- calculate a first positional uncertainty of the first wellbore;
- calculate a second positional uncertainly of the offset wellbore based on the data indicative of position and the data indicative of fracture diameter;
- and
- generate a value indicative of proximity of the positional uncertainties.
