Anti-Collision

Our anti-collision library fully complies with the ISCWSA SPE-67616 standard for wellbore positioning uncertainty calculations. Additionally, it supports the ISCWSA SPE-187073 and SLB SPE-121040 standards for calculating the Oriented Separation Factor (OSF) during the anti-collision scan. The library has been validated using ISCWSA benchmarks.

Ellipsoid of uncertainty: calculation vs benchmark

The Ellipsoid of Uncertainty (EOU) calculation functionality supports more than 100 tool types from ISCWSA sets A, B, and H, including continuous gyroscopes.

Oriented Separation Factor: calculation vs benchmark

The anti-collision scanner enables fast scanning to determine the minimum OSF. In addition to the standard method, the library implements a progressive scanning method that helps avoid issues with OSF underestimation, as described in SPE-184644 and represented on the picture below.
