INTERACTIVE AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL WELL PATH DESIGN
First Claim
1. A method for planning a well, comprising:
- displaying a three-dimensional representation of a subterranean domain;
receiving a selection of a location in the three-dimensional representation of the subterranean domain;
identifying an object of a well plan associated with the location;
receiving an instruction to modify the object;
editing data associated with the object based on the instruction;
visibly modifying the object in the three-dimensional representation of the subterranean domain, substantially in real-time with respect to receiving the instruction;
determining, using a processor, that the editing of the data results in at least a portion of the well plan being outside of a constraint; and
changing, using the processor, a display of the object to indicate that the editing results in the at least a portion of the well plan being outside of the constraint.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and media for well planning are provided. The method includes displaying a three-dimensional representation of a subterranean domain, and receiving a selection of a location in the representation of the subterranean domain. The method also includes identifying an object of a well plan associated with the location, and receiving an instruction to modify the object. The method further includes editing data associated with the object based on the instruction, and visibly modifying the object in the representation of the subterranean domain, substantially in real-time with respect to receiving the instruction. The method also includes determining, using a processor, that the editing of the data results in at least a portion of the well plan being outside of a constraint, and changing a display of the object to indicate that the editing results in the at least a portion of the well plan being outside of the constraint.

10. A computing system, comprising:
-
a display; one or more processors coupled with the display; and a memory system including one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by at least one of the one or more processors, cause the computing system to perform operations, comprising; displaying, on the display, a three-dimensional representation of a subterranean domain including a well plan, wherein the well plan comprises a plurality of sections; receiving a selection of one of the plurality of sections; receiving an instruction to edit the one of the plurality of sections; and visibly altering the one of the plurality of sections based on the instruction, so as to alter the three-dimensional rendering of the well plan substantially in real-time with respect to receiving the instruction. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
displaying a three-dimensional representation of a subterranean domain including a well plan, wherein the well plan comprises a plurality of points; receiving a selection of one of the plurality of points; displaying a plurality of attribute indicators associated with the selected one of the plurality of points; receiving a selection of at least one of the plurality of attribute indicators; receiving an instruction to modify a position, trajectory, or both of the well plan using the at least one of the plurality of attribute indicators that is selected, wherein the instruction is received over a period of time; and visibly altering the at least one of the plurality of attributes based on the instruction, so as to alter the three-dimensional rendering of the well plan during the period of time. - View Dependent Claims (20)
