Overview
Drilling Information Systems for Windows (DISWin) is an easy-to-use database
with several key features. This chapter offers a brief overview of these features
(what they do and how to use them) and provides a list of system requirements
so that the user can adequately install and use the DISWin program.
DISWin Version 2.0
Introduction
Welcome to DISWin Version 2.0

Drilling Information Systems for Windows (DISWin) is a convenient and easy-to-use database
for organizing information while drilling a well. Modules are available for daily data entry
concerning the status of the well, contractor and equipment usage, and printed report
information.
Key Features
Easy-to-Use Push-Button Menu

Once you have logged into DISWin, you will see the DISWin Push-Button menu. The buttons
allow for easy access to the data entry screens for Drilling and Completion/WO Data. This
data can also be reached by selecting Data Entry from the main menu, and then selecting
Drilling/Completion/WO. If you select this, you will see four titles: Drilling Data, Completion/
WO Data, Well and Project Data, and Summary Data. As noted above, these also appear as
headings on the push-button menu. Both of these provide the same options.
Picklists
When entering data, you will occasionally encounter fields that are light blue with buttons
next to them. These fields contain a picklist, which is a list of valid entries for that specific
field. Click on the button to choose from the list. If the lookup table is empty, you may select
Add Entry to add the data you need. If you are entering data that is in a table format and a
column heading has an asterisk (*) next to it, that means that the field has a picklist. Simply
double-click a cell in the column to view the list.
Compilation Reports and Jetform

There are forty-seven report options on the Reports menu. Each report is a compilation of
specific data entered for the well. Some reports are to be printed daily, and others are event-
driven.
To run a report, select Reports from the DISWin main menu. Select a report, and select the
desired date and/or data. Click OK. DISWin uses a separate software package called Jetform
FillerG for report formatting. Jetform automatically opens with the corresponding report form,
and a preview of the report will appear on your screen. All the reports have been pre-formatted
by a programmer and are included in the DISWin installation. If you want to preview the
report in a different size, select Options from the menu bar, and select Zoom. You may increase
or decrease the viewing size accordingly, and you may also email the report from the viewing
screen.
Ad-Hoc Query Tool

The Ad Hoc application uses SQL (Structured Query Language) to create custom reports/
plots. There are many queries already in the menu, and you may also combine any data from
the DISWin database by selecting the items to be searched for and pulled to an Excel
Spreadsheet.
The XY Plots, Pie Charts and Bar Graphs found under the Ad Hoc menu run based on your
DISWin Version 2.0
current well selection or report list from the DISWin menu. Work through the Ad-Hoc tutorials
to become familiar with creating queries.
Communications
You can send data over phone lines from PC to PC and from Local to Network Databases and
vice versa. Every time you enter or change data, an incremental log file is created for the well
ID. This log file can be used to send an incremental update from your local database to your
office database. It can also be attached to an Email.
Well Planner
Currently a work in progress, the Well-Plan option provides the user with a compilation of
data-entry menus used for beginning a new well. This option is located on the DISWin main
menu. Once selected, the user can choose what data to enter from the drop-down menu. you
may select Add/Delete/Modify a Well, Wellmaster Data, Project Data, Lithology Data, Pore
Pressure Data, Day Curve, and Geometry.
System Requirements
• The following is a list of minimum requirements to run DISWin:
• Windows 98, 2000, ME, or XP
• Pentium 3 processor or faster
• 256 MB RAM or more
• At least 100 MB free disk space
• Printer

Overview
This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for installing and running
DISWin, as well as directions for key data entry for a project once the program
is installed. Data entry codes are also listed here with a brief explanation of
each, as well as explanations and directions for filling out the new WYSIWYG
reports.
DISWin Version 2.0
Using DISWin
DISWin Basics
Data Entry
You can begin data entry with the DISWin push-button menu. Each button leads to a separate
database module, and in each module you will enter the applicable data. The options on the
push-button menu are also available on the main menu under Data Entry. Here, you will also
find many other modules listed for entering data. These are the same types of modules that
are available from the push-button menu. Some modules not listed on the push-button menu
are: Perforation Details, Swabbing Details, Rental Equipment Usage, and Service Company
Information. For a complete list of field names and definitions, please see the DISWin Help file
under Data Entry—Field Names and Definitions. DISWin 2.0 also features a WYSIWYG (What
You See is What You Get) report option. The WYSIWYG data entry screens allow the user to
enter data into screens that look like the standard reports (currently Drilling Activity Report
and Completion/WO Report).
Reports
There are forty-six reports available on the DISWin main menu. The JetForm program, which
comes standard with the DISWin installation, pulls the applicable data directly from the
database module into a pre-formatted layout. When you run these reports, JetForm will display
them automatically so that you can view them and/or print them.
Ad-Hoc
The Ad-Hoc utility allows the user to extract data from the DISWin database. Existing queries
can be used, or new queries can be created with the Ad-Hoc query tool. By default, the data is
pulled to Excel, but the data can also be inserted into a CSV or other delimited file. There are
also standard plots that can be used without building a query. Graphs currently available are
XY Plots, Pie Charts, and Recap Graphs.
Utilities
On the main DISWin menu, there is a drop-down list of Utilities. These Utilities include options
for system settings such as Change DISWin Password and Batch Drilling Setup; data transfer
options such as Copy Data between Wells, Document Copy, and Import Data; and basic program
tools such as Lookup Tables Maintenance and Calculator.
Communications
The Communication menu on the DISWin main menu provides many options for online data
transfers. You can transfer data from PC to PC by using a modem, or you can upload wells and
projects on the server. The Communications menu also lists a Delete Log Files option, which
allows the user to delete log files that have built up during data transfer, which can slow down
the data transfer process.
Installing DISWin
Installing DISWin From a CD

To install DISWin, click the Start button on the Windows task bar and select RUN from the
menu. Type D:\Setup or E:\Setup depending on what drive you have for the CD-ROM. DISWin
will unzip the compressed files and prompt you for certain information such as Business Unit.
Users in the CTOP locations will receive a prompt regarding which size paper (A4 or letter)
they will use to print server reports. When the installation has finished, reboot your PC.
Rig Install
Initially, the database is stored on the C drive with a sample well. The user must create a new
well using the Utilities menu and update the data by the LAN or dial-in connection. The user
DISWin Version 2.0
must enter “Master” as login ID and password. Oracle Net (SQL*Net) must be installed if the
user wants to access the Oracle Database.
For data transferred across the LAN, “Master” cannot be used for the ID and Password, but it
can be used for entering data into the local database. When invoking the Transfer " Server
Upload options (used for data transferred across the LAN), the user must use the ID and
Password that have been set up for them. This will give the user “Upload rights” within the
DISWin database. There is generally one person on the drill rig (typically a supervisor) who
has been setup with these rights. If no one on the rig has upload rights, contact your DISWin
Champion.
Office Install
When installing DISWin, select the SBU where you are working. The user will access the
Oracle database and enter his/her login ID and password.
General Information
• No call is necessary to an Oracle DBA for permission to access the database for this
application.
• A new user must be added by a DISWin administrator. Contact your local DISWin Champion,
or contact Glenn Warner at ctn: 230-2606 or Ted Allen at ctn: 230-2779.
Starting DISWin
Once installation is complete, the user can start DISWin by clicking Start/Programs/DISWin.
A shortcut can be made later, and the user will only have to double-click the icon to enter the
DISWin program. The DISWin Logon screen will appear. Select the proper Database for the
location of your data. LOCAL is for your PC.
Once you have selected a database, enter your ID and password. If this is your first time using
DISWin, enter Master for your ID and password (on the Local database) and click OK. You can
add a new password later and then change your password at any time by selecting Change
DISWin Password from the DISWin Utilities menu. Now you will see the DISWin main (push-
button) menu, which allows the user quick access to the data entry fields for the Drilling Data,
Completion Data, Well & Project Data, and Summary Data databases.
Any time you log on (including the first time) and you do not have a current well selected, a
message will appear, indicating that there is no current well selected. You may also receive a
message if the current well is invalid due to the database you selected. Just click OK and the
DISWin Well Change screen will appear. Select a well ID and project ID by double-clicking
both, or add a new well by going to the Utilities menu and selecting Add/Delete/Modify a
Well, and select the well using the Well Change utility. For further information about adding
a new well, see Add the New Well.
Using DISWin
Starting a New Well
Add the New Well

Go to the Utilities menu. Select Add/Delete/Modify A Well. The Add/Delete screen should
appear. Click on the Add button on the menu bar or press F8 on your keyboard to add
your new well. Type in the Well Identification Number (Chevno) for the well. Add the Project
Number (also provided by your home office) on the second line.
Well Identification Number (Chevno)

The Well Identification Number is the Chevno provided by your home office. The number is
assigned to the wells in order to keep all ChevronTexaco data for a well referenced in all online
databases throughout the company. Obtain this number by contacting your home office. The
Chevno can be obtained and relayed back to the field office prior to the start of the well.
Project Number
The project number is best obtained from the field or home office. Project numbers may already
exist on the server database but not on your PC database. Usually, drilling project numbers
are 0. However, a workover can have a project number of 0 if no previous project exists in the
database. If a project already exists for the well, a new project number should be added on
page 2 of the add/delete/modify module. (See Add a New Project ID Number, corresponding to
the number of projects existing in DISWin for the Chevno.) If you need to start the well data
and can’t get a Chevno or project ID number from the office, make up a Chevno using 2 letters
and 4 numbers (XX####) and project number 0. The user can change these numbers when
he/she obtains the correct ones.
After you have entered the project number on page 1, enter the complete well name and
number and save the Well ID. To enter a new project number on an existing Well ID (project 0
already exists), locate the original Well ID by using the Find utility on page 1, ten go to
page 2 and add the new project number. See instructions for Add/Delete/Modify.
If you plan to enter data on this new well, go to Well Change under Utilities and select the new
Chevno to make it the active well. (You can narrow down the list of wells by selecting business
unit, country, or field name.) When you find the correct Well ID number, double click it. The
project numbers for that Well ID will appear. Double click on the correct project number and
click OK. The well you selected is now the active well on the database.
Adding a New Project Number to an Existing Well ID (Chevno)

To add a new project number to an existing well ID, go to Add/Delete/Modify a Well. Search
for the well ID you would like to update by using the Find command . (Remember, if the
Well ID exists on the workstation database but not on your local database, you will need to
add the ID as a new well using page 1, and at this time you can enter the project number.)
Once you have selected the well ID, go to page 2 and use the Add command to add a new
project number.. Enter the new project number, in sequence, depending on how may projects
DISWin Version 2.0
already exists (if you’re not sure, use the Find command from page 2 to see how many
projects exist for the Well ID). Save the new project record. Use Well Change to make it the
new project your active well for data entry. The Wellmaster data and Project data will pull from
the original project. If the rig info (or other items) are the same, you can use the Copy Data
Between Wells utility discussed later in this section.
Generally, new project numbers are added to wells that are assigned new AFE numbers,
already have an existing original project on the database, and start with day 1. For example:
The original drilling project would be project 0, but the completion (if a new AFE is assigned)
would be project 1, and a workover after that would be project 2. However, if the original
drilling AFE included the completion operations, even if the completion operations were
performed several months after the original drilling project, it would still be project 0, just
resumed. If there are any questions regarding which Chevno and project numbers to use,
contact your home office.
# Tip: If you are working on a rig, it is best to obtain your Chevnos and project numbers from
your field office, as they have access to the workstation databases and can check for
previously existing projects. If you cannot obtain the correct ID numbers before you have to
begin data entry, you can make up a number, then change it when the correct one is received.
If you entered the correct Chevno but the project number is wrong, you can edit the project
number on page 2 to reflect the correct number.
Remember to always use the Add command to add the new well. When you enter a data
entry screen, you are automatically in edit mode. Make sure you do not edit an existing well
record by mistake.
Changing a Chevno or Well Identification Number

Select Add/Delete/Modify a Well from the Utilities menu, and select the well you want to
change. Type over the old Chevno with the new Chevno. The well will be updated when you
save it , or when you exit the module.
Delete a Chevno or Well Identification Number

Select Add/Delete/Modify a Well from the Utilities menu, and select the well you want to
delete, and use the Delete (F7) command to remove the Chevno. A “second chance” message
will appear to verify that the user did not execute the Delete command on accident. The same
procedure can also be used to delete a project on page 2.
Well Change
Use the Well Change utility to switch to a new active well. You can narrow down your well ID
choices by selecting Business Unit, Country, and Field Name if you know this information.
Double click on the Well ID number, and the project numbers for that well ID will appear in

DISWin Version 2.0
Page 1, Well Information

From the Data Entry menu, select Drilling/Completion/WO. A new set of menus will appear
which correspond to the options listed on the DISWin push-button menu. You use these
modules (entered either through the Data Entry menu or the push-button menu) to enter
most of your daily data. Select Wellmaster Data from the Well and Project menu. Choose the
Business Unit from the picklist by clicking on the button next to this field or pressing .
Enter the Country by choosing an entry from the picklist as well. The picklist will contain only
the countries referenced under the business unit you previously selected. If the correct country
is not on the list, use Other and contact your home office for further instructions. Type in the
platform information, if applicable. Type in the elevation, in feet above sea level, of the reference
point you picked earlier. For example, your ground level elevation might be 185 feet above sea
level. Enter the latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes, and seconds, using a minus sign
(-) to indicate South or West.
Page 2, Lease Information

In the Wellmaster Data module, under Lease Information, enter your field and lease information.
This information must be completed to ensure reports are generated properly. The field, lease,
and well number are the fields printed at the bottom of the tour reports, which compose the
well name. If the field and lease information are not complete, the morning and weekly summary
reports will not print properly. The effective date is the same as the start date of the well. The
Field Name must come from the picklist because it is controlled in the system to prevent there
being several versions of the same field name, which would make it impossible to pull an Ad
Hoc query on the field name. If the field name you need is not there, use Other and request a
new field name from your office support. Lease can be entered manually, or, if previously
entered under the selected field, it will appear in the picklist. Type in the well number, which
can consist of any characters. This will appear on the header of the reports. The WellMaster
data always stays with the Chevno.
The Wellmaster data for project 1 will be filled in automatically if a project 0 already exists in
the database. You may not have the project 0 Wellmaster data on your rig PC, but the office
will have it on the Oracle database. If you don’t have it, go ahead and enter it. Page 2, Lease
data, will be blank. You need to enter the lease data for the project number for the well you are
currently entering data for. This information prints as the well name, field name, lease, and
well number on your reports.
Page 3 Sidetrack Information

When you add a new well, sidetrack 0 will automatically be entered. If you sidetrack the well,
add another record, ensuring the sidetrack 0 record is still intact. You may have as many
records here as necessary to record all sidetracks or bypasses. The sidetrack title will display
on the reports.
Enter Project Data

The next section to fill out is the Project Data, which immediately follows Wellmaster Data on
the menu. Project Data provides general information about the AFE.
Page 1, Well Project Data

Make sure you enter the Project Start and the Project End dates. The project start date is the
first day that you charge money to the well. For Date Rig on Location for a workover, use the
day you start actual well work, even if you don’t have a pulling unit on location. For Date Rig
on Location for a drilling job, enter the date your Drilling Rig arrives on location. The appropriated
amount is the same as the appropriated amount on your AFE. You can come back to this after
you have entered your line item AFE data on the AFE data screen, and then click on the Calc
button for the Total Appropriations. Fill in as much information as you can on page 1.
Notice that some of this information won’t be available until later, such as the actual MD and
TVD of the well (If you’re rigging up on a workover, go ahead and enter the actual depths.) You
can come back and enter the other information when it becomes available.
Using DISWin
Page 2, Well Project Data (cont’d)

Enter OP in the Operator Status Code if it is a ChevronTexaco operated well. You do not have
to select Chevron as the operator, and can instead choose from individual SBU operator
names that are now available in the picklist. If you use the picklist, you don’t have to worry
about entering the code correctly. Enter Geological Objective so that it will print out on the
summary reports produced by the office. For Completion Start Date, enter the date you start
completion work on a new well. If you’re working on a workover, enter the day you start work.
If you don’t enter the Completion Start Date, no start date will appear on your Daily Completion/
Workover Report.
Unit Selection
Select the units you want to use for data entry under System Setup on the Utilities menu.
Select E for standard oilfield (English) units, Metric for full CCR metric units, or Mixed to
enter distances, lengths, and depths as metric measurements. When using Mixed units, DISWin
will automatically convert the lengths, depths, and distances to feet. If you select Mixed units,
you must exit DISWin after you make the selection, and then log back in. Select Active for the
Project Well Status Codewhile you are working on the well, and change it to the appropriate
status code when the well is finished.
DISWin Version 2.0
Page 3, Suspended Operations

Use this page when operations have been suspended temporarily and you plan to come back
and finish the job in the near future. This will stop the days in between from accruing on your
days on location calculation. This page is the same as the 3rd page of General Data on DIS for
DOS.
Enter AFE Data

Next, begin entering the AFE Data, which immediately follows Project Data on the Well and
Project menu. The AFE Data module is divided into two pages. Click the tabs to view the
corresponding pages.
Page 1, AFE Data
Contains the data for the AFE number, start and end dates, and primary AFE flag. Enter the
AFE number. It will then display on page 2. Enter the start date of the AFE when you begin
work on the well. At the end of the well project, enter the end date. If this is the original AFE,
indicate this by entering a Y(es) for Primary AFE. If it is not the original AFE, enter N(o). Go to
page 2. Note that if you change the AFE number after cost records have been added, all
associated cost records on page 2 will be updated with the new AFE number.
Page 2, Appropriations
Use this page to enter the line item data. Add an entry. Enter the appropriation number (0
if original appropriation, 1, 2, etc. for supplements, completion appropriations, etc.). Enter
the line item code (number) from the picklist or, if you know the code, you can manually type
it in. The description for that code will automatically display on your screen. Enter the date
and cost amount. For subsequent entries, use the copy utility , and then select a new line
item code number and enter a new dollar amount. Using the Copy utility prevents you from
having to re-enter the sequence number or date.
After you have entered all line item appropriations, go back to the Project Data screen, page 1,
and click on the Calc button for total appropriations. Save your data and exit the module.
Using DISWin
Enter Initial Tour Report

The last preliminary information that you need to enter is the data for the Initial Tour
Report. Return to the main menu and select Initial Tour Report from the Data Entry menu.
There are seven pages to the Initial Tour Report. Just fill in the blanks with the pertinent
data. The date at the top of the Initial Tour Report should be the date that the rig arrives on
location. This applies to a drilling rig, a completion rig, a workover rig, and so on. There
should only be one initial tour report for each rig you rig up. You should also be able to tell
how many days each rig was on location by subtracting the date of the Initial Tour Report
from the Rig Release Date. When the rig is released, remember to enter the data for the
initial tour report.
# Tip: If the rig is moving to a new location, use the Copy Data Between Wells Utility to copy
the Initial Tour Report from the previous well. Then just change the dates, elevation data,
and any other daily data that may have changed for the current well.

Note: Depth of Penetration below Mud Line is entered on this page. The RKB to Mud line
measurement needs to be subtracted out if the measurement is from rig RKB.
Moving in the Rig

• Enter the date the rig is on location in the Project Data, and make that the date of the
Initial Tour Report for that rig.
• Enter the daily General Data, especially your name and the tool pusher’s name, and the
last casing information. Enter the casing information on page 3 (Casing Configuration)
then use the picklist on page 1 for last casing.
• Enter the Operational Daily Data, indicating the hours spent moving in and rigging up the
rig. Also remember to enter the Hole Phase, Activity and Category codes. Pressing will
give you a list of these codes to choose from or clicking on the picklist buttons. Use Activity
code 8 for location until drilling operations begin (drive pipe/conductor, etc.).
• Enter all of your cost data into Daily Cost. Keep adding line numbers as you need them
with the Add utility . To avoid entering the date and AFE number each time, remember
that you can use the Copy utility and edit the data that needs to be changed. Remember to
copy the data first, however. If you edit the data without copying it first, the data will be
lost. Make sure the AFE number appears on each entry. You can use the Copy Data
button to copy the previous day’s data and then change the amounts where necessary.
• Enter the project start date in Project Data as the first day you turn in a daily cost sheet
for the project.
The Daily Report

After you have filled in everything previously mentioned, you are ready to print out your first
daily report. To do this, select Drilling Activity Report from the Reports menu.
You will need to select a date, and you can choose one from the drop-down menu. The report
Using DISWin
will run for the date you choose. Note: you have to have filled in the General Data plus any
other pertinent data for that day or your report will be incomplete. If you have not selected a
default printer, the print preview will not work. JetForm (the software included in your DISWin
package) will use your windows default printer.
Spudding the Well and Drilling Ahead

Enter Spud Date
When you have spudded your well, go to page 1 of the Wellmaster Data and enter the spud
date. The Days From Spud field will automatically calculate on page 1 of General Data.
Enter General, Operations, and Cost Data

Enter the General Data, Mud Data, Survey Data, BHA Data, Operational Daily Data, and the
Cost Data for the day. These are the minimum data requirements for turning in
a morning report, in any operation. Summary data is included in this minimum if your
Superintendent requests that you to fill it out.
Operational Daily Data

Page 1, Description of Daily Activities
Enter the date, hole phase, activity code, category code, trouble indicator (‘N’ if no trouble),
trouble type code, trouble responsibility, time from, time to, and description of activities.
DISWin will automatically calculate the hours. The codes are found in picklists next to the
corresponding fields, or, if you know them, you can type in the codes. When you enter the
code, the code descriptions automatically display on the screen. There are 512 characters
available for the time breakdown description. Once you save it, the entire line will be displayed
in the window above using word wrap. If you need more lines for a time interval, use the Copy
utility and continue the description on the new line without adding any codes or times.
Remark Type for Reports

The remark type will default to D (Daily Operations). Add a record with the Remark Type “P”
(Projected Operations) and another record with Remark Type “S” (24 Hour Summary). Only
one line is allowed per day with the “P” or “S” remark type selected. The program will allow for
only 112 characters (one line on the report) for these remark types.
Enter Y(es) or N(o) in the Trouble column to indicate whether or not you encountered any
DISWin Version 2.0
trouble during the day’s drilling. An activity is classified as trouble if it was not expected or
part of the normal operations. If the activity is part of the expected job, it is not trouble. For
example, If you lose something in the hole and have to fish it out, then it is trouble. But if you
rig up on a well to fish something out of the hole, then it is part of the expected job and is not
trouble (unless you lose something else in the hole). If a bit quickly wears out because of junk
inside of the hole, then the time spent getting a new bit is classified as trouble.
Page 2, Operational Daily Remarks

Enter any remarks that you want to appear at the bottom of the morning report on this page.
Usually, these remarks refer to your present operation or what you plan to do next. You can
also copy remarks from the previous day, which is convenient if you are using this area to list
People on Board, Beds available, etc. Four lines will print on the Daily Activity Report. Simply
copy from the previous day by highlighting and using the Copy Remarks button, then change
the data as needed.
Note: For each day that you have an Operational Daily Data record with time charged to it,
you need to have a Cost Data record. There should be the same number of days with Cost
Data Records as days with Operational Daily Data records.
Cost Data
Add or Copy each line item cost for the day into the database. Make sure the AFE number
appears on each entry. If you filled out page 1 of AFE Data correctly, you can select the AFE
number from the picklist.
When beginning a new well, use the option in the Copy Data button screen to add all line
items for a date with no amounts. All you will have to do is go back and record the amounts,
then copy to the next day and change amounts where necessary. Then enter the date desired.
If you want to copy all of yesterday’s cost, use the Copy Data button to copy all line item Cost
and Annotations to a new date. You will need to enter the mud data each day from the time
you spud until you release the drilling rig.

Page 4, Mud Chemical Usage

Enter the date, then select the mud products you used, received or transferred on that date.
To select the mud products, press or double click on the field to view the list of all
products and item numbers. Choose the one you want and click OK. If your product isn’t in
the list, pick the closest equivalent. When you have entered one line, save it. Add additional
lines if you have more products to list. Ask your mud engineer which product in the Mud
Chemical List is equivalent to the one he’s using.
Enter the correct amounts into the used, received, transferred, and adjusted fields as well as
the cost per unit. After the first day you can copy and edit the data so that you won’t have to
re-enter all the products you’re using every day. Use the copy data button to copy records
from another day. Remember to change the date when you copy and then edit to add a new
day’s data. If you don’t, you’ll have two sets of data for the same date. You don’t have to record
every product that you have on location every day, just the products that you use, receive,
transfer, or adjust that day.
To insure that your mud engineer is included in the mud bill in the computer, you can record
him as one of the products used each day. Just show that you received and used one Engineering
Services each day. Note that the Mud Report will show a negative adjustment, but the Weekly
Drilling Fluids Reports show the correct calculations.
DISWin Version 2.0
You may find it useful to can create a custom mud list to use with the Mud Inventory, so that
you don’t have to look through the mud chemical data each time you select a product. To
create the custom list, select Update Lookup Tables from the Utilities menu. Select Custom
Mud Codes and then choose the products you want in your custom list from the master list.
To use your custom list, choose System Configuration from the Utilities menu and mark the
box titled “Use Custom Mud List”.
Page 5, Weekly Mud Report Data

Use this page to enter the receiving document number and the date for all your mud deliveries.
This data will print out on the Weekly Fluids Report.
Drilling Mud Report Data
The Drilling Mud Report data entry screen is found under Data Entry on the Main Menu. This
is data to be used on the Daily Mud Report that you can print the data out as one of the
standard reports. Record the data as you want it to appear on the report. There are four pages
for this data.
Hydraulics and Bit Data

Page 1, Bit Inventory
Use this page to maintain an inventory for all of the bits you have on the rig. You only have to
fill this out once for each bit, regardless of how many times you run the same bit in the hole.
Using DISWin
You can record whether or not you ran a bit for several days in the run data module. Enter the
bit number on page 1 when you pick up the bit to RIH.
Page 2, Bit Run Data

If you have not entered the bit number on page 1, go back and do so. Otherwise, the bit
number will not pull to page 2. Enter the data for each bit used each day. If you pulled a bit
and ran another one, make sure you have data for both bits in on that day. Enter the pump
data at the bottom, and the computer will calculate your flow rate from the stroke data you
enter. If you pull the bit out of the hole, then run it again later, add another record for page 2,
and list the rerun number as a subsequent 1,2, etc. Enter the daily run data for each bit
(re)run number on page 3. When the bit is pulled, enter that data on page 4.
Page 3, Bit and Hydraulics Data

Make sure that you entered the rerun number on page 2, or that information will not display
on page 3. Enter the M.W., Pump Pressure, and Pump Strokes for each bit every day. The
program will calculate all of the hydraulics data at the bottom of the screen. Make sure you
have entered your pump efficiency and other pump data on the Initial Tour Report on page 5.
The footage drilled is calculated from the bit MD on page 2. If you are drilling cement or
opening hole, make sure the bit MD is the same as the depth in on page 2. User must enter
zero for footage and hours if no hours are added.
Page 4, Bit Grading Data

You only fill this page out when you pull a bit. For the Bit Record to be usable, don’t close a bit
out until it is laid down and no longer useable. If, for example, you went in the hole with a new
bit and then came out for BHA change, and the same bit went back in, you would close it out
and call it re-run #1. If you go in the hole with a bit that was previously run, keep the same bit
number but give it a rerun number corresponding with how many times it has been rerun.
BHA Data
Pages 1 & 2, Daily BHA Data

Enter the BHA data each day. If you have the same BHA as yesterday, you can Copy and
change the date. Do not enter an out depth unless the BHA has been pulled. Only depths out
greater than zero print out on the BHA server report. Enter the description of the BHA on page
1. This same data is available on page 4, Inventory. Enter the short description and pull to
page 3. The components will appear on the Daily Activity Report, and the length will calculate
a total from your components on page 3.
DISWin Version 2.0
Page 3, BHA Components

Use this page to enter a piece-by-piece breakdown of your BHA. Enter each piece’s dimensions
and description by using the inventory number that it was given in the Inventory BHA section
on page 4. Combine all continuous sections of collars so that there will be room to record your
entire BHA. Just use one collar’s description and enter the number of collars you have in that
section. The total length will carry over from the BHA Inventory.
Page 4, Inventory BHA

Enter the type, length, OD, ID, connection, etc of each BHA component as you get them. Add
as many records as you need. Doing this enables you to refer back to each component and its
dimensions within your BHA description just by using the inventory number the computer
gives the component. This is really useful when you have a contract rig of a two or three well
package. Under such circumstances, you could copy all the rig drilling tools to another well
using the Copy Data Between Wells utility.
You can enter every collar that you have, or you can just enter one of each size that you are
using. You can print out a list of the items in your BHA inventory using an option under Print
Reports on the Main Menu. You will use this list later to enter your daily BHA data.
As an alternative to filling in pages 3 and 4 of the BHA data and the BHA Inventory, you can
just fill out pages 1 and 2, using the description space on page 1 to enter a good description of
your BHA. However, if you do not fill out pages 3 and 4 you will not have data to run the
Drilling Applications that require BHA information.
Page 5, Drill Pipe Configuration Remarks

Type any remarks you may have regarding the drill pipe configuration. Note that this section
is for drill pipe that was used for drill stem tests only. All other drill pipe should be entered as
part of the BHA.
Page 6, Drill String Sections

Enter your drill string sections regarding their use in the drill stem test.
Survey Data
You will enter page 3 data and perhaps page 2 data before you will be able to enter data for
page 1. You will need to enter your header and tie-in data in order to calculate automatically.
If you have any information regarding sidetrack drilling, you will add another page 3, entering
the sidetrack number each time you sidetrack. This will separate your surveys for each section
of hole. Pages 1 and 2 will show data for the current selected record on page 3. Be sure to enter
a Y in the calculation field to indicate calculation of the survey data.
Using DISWin
Page 1, Survey Data

Enter each survey on this page. As always, Add a new record for each survey. Don’t just Edit
the last survey, or you will have only one survey in the database. For the type of survey, pick
an option from the picklist you get by pressing . For automatic calculation you need to
enter Page 2 Survey Tie-In-Data.
Page 2, Survey Tie-In Data

You will never fill out this page for a straight hole, and you will fill this page in only once for
a directional well. Enter whatever point your directional company uses to tie into. If the tie-in
point is the surface, enter 0 for MD, Angle, Azimuth, NS, and EW. You can enter more than
one tie in point if, for example, run another directional survey log, by using the Add utility.
The program will calculate directional data from the last tie-in point using the surveys that
come after it.
Page 3, Survey Header Data

If you need to calculate surveys from a reference point other than the wellbore, go to page 3
and Add a new record. First, enter a reference point location in N/S and E/W coordinates (this
could be for a platform). This will tie back into the Directional Engineer’s Tie-In Survey point.
The date and depth fields are critical. If either are the same in existing records, you may get an
error message.
Rental Equipment Usage
Page 1, Vendor Data

You will have a Vendor Data page for each vendor supplying your rental equipment. To create
a new Vendor Data page for a different vendor, Copy the page and change the necessary data.
Page 2, Rental Equipment Usage Data

Under each vendor page, you will have multiple pages for rental equipment. Add a new page

Using DISWin
Summary, Conclusions, and Recommendations
Write your Summary, Conclusions, and Recommendations in WordPerfect or MSWord and

use the Document Copy utility to cut and paste the document into DISWin. For COPI operated
wells, you can Email or send the WordPerfect or MSWord files to San Ramon and the technical
assistants will proof read and paste the documents into DISWin. They will also generate a
Final Well Report and a full backup copy of the well and return them to your field office.
Keep your final summaries brief and concise. The most important part of this summary is the
recommendations for future wells, especially explanations of problems and possible solutions.
A hole-by-hole breakdown of BHA details, mud properties, etc. is not necessary as this data is
entered daily on the other screens, and final well reports are generated from that data.

You can fill out pages 3 and 4 when you install the tubing bonnet and the tree. Instructions
are in the Completion section that follows.
DISWin Version 2.0
Physical Inventory
Select Physical Inventory from the Data Entry menu. This module lists all tangible material
that is bought for, transferred to, removed from, installed in, or transferred from the well.
There is only one page of this data. You can Add a new entry for each item. Each entry will
correspond to a complete line on the printed report.
The first item you will enter is the Report Date. This does not have to be the date that the item
is received or transferred. It is just the date up to which the inventory is complete. All items
with the same report date will be printed on the same report. If you want all inventory printed
on one physical inventory report, then you will have to change all the report dates to the same
date. The next entry is the line number which indicates the order in which your items will
appear on the printed report. On any report, the lowest line number is listed first.
The next four entries concern the particular item that you are recording on this screen. For
example, if you are recording data for 5 1/2" casing, you didn’t remove any casing from this
well so leave that entry blank. You did receive this casing at the well so fill out that row. Use
3 as a reference number, indicating that this is the third item listed on the inventory. The first
two could have been 8 5/8" surface casing and the wellhead. The description could be “200 jts
5 1/2” 15.5 #/ft K-55 LTC casing”. The condition would be A if it is new pipe. For Installed in
Well we’ll say “197 + 1 cut jts. 5 1/2” 15.5 #/ft K-55 LTC casing” with a condition of A. This
leaves a balance of 2 joints and a cut. Since the balance is not all of the same class, we’ll have
to divide it into two lines. In the remainder of this line we’ll show “2 jts. 5 1/2” 15.5 #/ft K-55
casing” with a condition of A.
To get the cut joint on the next line Add a new entry then enter the same date and increment
the line number by 1. Enter the ELP 400 number that transferred the cut joint away and then
leave everything else blank except for the balance. In the balance show “310 lbs 5 1/2” 15.5#
K-55 casing (20' cut joint)” with a condition of F. This will show up on the line below the rest
of the 5 1/2" casing data.
Just remember to Add a new record for each tangible item over $100 you send from, receive
at, remove from, or install in the well. Each time you Add a new record, increase the line
number by 1 and increase the reference number by 1 if it is a new item. It is most convenient
to record the same report date for all of the items listed as physical inventory to ensure that
they will al print on the same report. The report date should be the most recent inventory
date.

Using DISWin
Running Production Equipment

The following is a brief overview of data you will have to enter when you run your production
tubing and install your tree.
Physical Inventory
You will enter this data the same way you filled it out tin the Drilling Section. You will have
more items to record during the completion. For a workover, record what you pull out of the
well, what you install into it, and account for any differences with transfers or delivery tickets.
Pages 2 and 3, Tubing Data

Enter tubing data on these pages. Indicate whether you are entering data for the (L)ong or
(S)hort string . For a single string use (L)ong. Enter each section of your production string
assembly, Make sure the sequence number is correct. If you Add or Copy a record, the sequence
records will automatically increase by 10.
If you left out an item, you can add it and then change the sequence number. For example, if
you left out a crossover that should be between sequence number 350 and sequence number
360, the item could have a sequence number of 410. If you change the sequence number from
410 to 355, however, DISWin will place the record in the sequence you want (between 350 and
360). The reference number refers to the reference number you gave the item on the Physical
Inventory. Continue Adding records for each item in your production string, listing the
description, OD, ID, length, reference number, and component code. You can choose the
component code from the picklist by double-clicking the field or pressing The computer will
maintain a running total of the lengths of each item so you can see the depths for each
section. Use additional blank lines to list information about the packer.
If you are running a permanent packer, you may experience some problems filling out this
form. You will not be able to fill the form out top to bottom through your packer and seal bore
because the seal assembly overlaps the packer and the sealbore. The program will list a
negative length so you can correct the depth back to the top of the permanent packer after you
reach the bottom of the seal assembly. Just enter a remark indicating that the packer was run
and set on wireline.
If you are running a single string and a permanent packer, then you can also show the packer
and its related equipment on the short string side. Enter the correction down to the top of the
permanent packer first, and go from there. If you are running a permanent packer in a dual
string, you have to use negative lengths to correct back from the bottom of the seals to the top
of the permanent packer.
Rod Data
Enter any rod string data if you run rods (you will enter another page 2). Start at the top with
the KB correction, then the polish rod, continuing on down to the pump. The computer will
keep track of the lengths and show the depth of the rod string.
Wellhead Detail
When you install your tree you will have to update the Wellhead and Tree Data to reflect the
new configuration of your wellhead. You will fill out page 3 when you install the tree.
Pages 3 and 4, Tree and Bonnet Details

Enter the date the tree is installed, the manufacturer of the tree, etc. Add a new record for
each component type on page 4.
DST Detail
You can obtain the data for this screen from the well test engineer when you test a well. As

Hole Phase Codes
Hole Phase Codes

All time required to make hole, log, run casing, cement casing and perform any testing (leakoff
& casing) belongs to the phase named for the type of string that will be run into the subject
hole. For example, the INT1 phase begins as soon as all operations relating to the surface hole
ends. The surface phase ends once the surface pipe has been run, cemented and leakoff test
run on the shoe (if required). Once successfully tested the next phase becomes INT1 or PRDCSG
depending on your well plan. Each phase includes all time associated with evaluating the well.
ABAND Abandonment: This phase includes time associated with either

permanent or temporary abandonment of the well. This can be
applied to abandonment of the complete wellbore or just a segment
of the wellbore.
COMP Completion: Time required to displace hole, perforate, run

tubulars, block squeeze, stimulate, etc. for the explicit purpose of
completing the well. Normally, this phase starts after the
production hole has been drilled and logged and preparations are
made to run the production string. It ends when the well is ready
for production and the rig is ready to rig down, skid, or abandon
the well (ABAND phase).
COND1 Drivepipe or Structural Casing: Normally called drive pipe or

structural casing. It is the first casing set (driven or cemented).
Onshore this casing can be either driven or set by a rat hole driller.
COND2 Conductor Casing: When used it is the second string to be set. It

is normally set to a depth of 1000' or less BML.
POST Rig Down and Move Out: This phase includes rig down and move
out time as well as location restoration.
PREP Location Preparation: This phase includes all location preparation

time as well as moving in and rigging up of the rig.
PRDCSG Production Casing: This phase includes all time associated with
the final production string of the well.
TIEBACK Production Tie Back: This phase includes all time associated
with operations to tie back a production liner.
INT1 First Intermediate Casing: This phase includes all time associated
with the first intermediate casing string.
INT2 Second Intermediate Casing: This phase includes all time

associated with the second intermediate casing string.
INT3 Third Intermediate Casing: This phase includes all time

associated with a third intermediate casing string.
INTLNR Intermediate Liner: This phase includes all time associated with
an intermediate liner.
INTTB Intermediate Tie Back: This phase includes all time associated
Using DISWin
with operations to tie back an intermediate liner.
SURF Surface Casing: This phase includes all time required to set pipe
to protect fresh water sands or shallow low pressure zones.
Typically this string follows the COND1 string, the COND2 string
(if required) and usually precedes the first intermediate string
(INT1).
WO Workover: This phase includes all time associated with workover
operations.
OTHER Operations Phase Not Listed: This phase includes all time associated with an
operation phase that is not listed.
Activity Codes
The activity codes indicate where the time and cost are distributed on the Time and Cost
report and affect the Drilling Cost per foot calculation.
DISWin Activity Codes

01 Drilling - All rig time while operations are pertinent to drilling a well to the original geological
objectives.
• This time begins when initial drilling operation is begun – i.e. spud the well.
• During the course of a well additional time or operations may become necessary to meet
the objectives of that well. One example is the need for additional casing due to lost
circulation or high pressure. In a case such as this, all time required to reach the planned
total depth would be considered a drilling activity. (However, these would be captured as
U, Unplanned events).
• All time spent to Plug and Abandon the well due to a dry hole should be coded under this
category.
• All time spent to Plug and Abandon an original interval due to sidetracking to a new
geologic horizon should be included here.
• No mob or demob operations are included in Drilling. These are Activity 08 – Location.
• The time to re-drill a portion of the hole for mechanical or geologic reasons is captured
elsewhere.
• When non-drilling activity operations such as a mechanical sidetrack are completed (when
original hole TVD is once again reached - see Activity 04), the code should then revert back
to drilling 01.
• Running production casing or liner is not a drilling activity. This should be captured
under activities 06 or 07 depending on the situation.
02 Geological Evaluation - All rig time spent while operations are pertinent to geological
evaluation of the well. This includes all types of logging operations for formation evaluation.
• For conventional electric line logging, the Geologic Evaluation time should start once the
bit clears the rotary prior to rigging up logging equipment.
• This time shall end when logging operations are completed if no post logging wiper trip
was required.
• If a post logging wiper trip was required then include that time here.
• Any wiper trips between logging runs are included here.
• Circulating for geologic samples should be included here (and coded U – Unplanned, where
applicable).
• In the case of an LWD include time spent reaming through an interval if the purpose is to
log for data previously missed or as a repeat section. Time should be included for trips in
or out of the hole for the purpose of picking up or laying down a tool that would otherwise
DISWin Version 2.0
not be required.
• For coring operations, include all time from when drilling stopped at the core point until
the bit is on bottom and drilling operations commence again (or the operation moves into
completion, reservoir evaluation, formation evaluation, etc.). This includes opening the
core hole.
• Cased hole formation logging should be accounted for under this category.
• Gamma Ray/CCL correlation type runs should NOT be accounted for here. It is part of
completion 06 (for perforating) or reservoir evaluation 07 depending on the situation.
• CBL or equivalent logs also should NOT be accounted for here. It is part of casing operations,
either under 01, 03, 06, or 07 depending on the situation.
• If a pilot hole was drilled for Geologic purposes (e.g. reduced hole size for better LWD log
quality), then any time spent opening the hole should be accounted for here.
03 Geological Sidetrack - All rig time spent while operations are pertinent to sidetracking a
well to a new geological objective (also includes new targets within a new geological objective).
• All casing strings ran while drilling a geological sidetrack should be captured here until TD
is reached.
• After TD is reached, operations other than P&A should be coded in either Completion 06 or
Reservoir Evaluation 07.
• All Geological Evaluation should still be captured in activity 02 while performing Geological
Sidetrack operations (just like drilling 01).
• If the well is then drilled past a planned horizontal distance, the time will be allocated to
Activity 09 Deepening.
• Geologic sidetrack time begins after plugging back the original objective(s) (i.e. P/U sidetrack
BHA.)
• The sidetrack data should be entered on page 3 of the Well Master with the sidetrack code
of GE – Geologic Sidetrack.
NOTE: The kick off point for a sidetrack should be recorded as follows:
a) If using a whipstock, the bottom of the whipstock should be the kickoff point.
b) If an open hole sidetrack by kicking off of a cement plug, then the kick off point should be
determined by the depth when drilling +/- 90% formation as determined by the drill rep.
c) In the event of an open hole sidetrack (no cement plug), the kick off point should be when
drilling +/- 90% new hole as determined by the drill rep.
04 Mechanical Sidetrack - All rig time spent while operations are pertinent to sidetracking a
well around equipment or hole problems in the well bore, e.g. an
unrecoverable fish in the wellbore and sidetracking due to lost circulation or other similar
problems. This may or may not result in a new geological objective. Time will return to the
drilling activity code (01) upon reaching an equivalent TVD that existed prior to the sidetrack.
All mechanical sidetrack time is considered trouble time and should be coded with trouble
indicator T and the appropriate trouble type code reflecting the reason for the mechanical
sidetrack.
• This coding should start when ever the last BHA (or partial BHA) clears the rotary and a
sidetrack BHA is P/U (i.e. whipstock, cement BHA etc.), or if still in hole from original
fishing operation, time commences when setting cement plug.
• This code should be carried until the equivalent TVD is reached. The time may need to be
broken up to capture the end of the T and the restarting of N.
of MB – Mechanical Bypass.
NOTE: The kick off point for a sidetrack should be recorded as follows:
a) If using a whipstock, the bottom of the whipstock should be the kickoff point.
b) If an open hole sidetrack by kicking off of a cement plug, then the kick off point should be
determined by the depth when drilling +/- 90% formation as determined by the drill rep.
c) In the event of an open hole sidetrack (no cement plug), the kick off point should be when
drilling +/- 90% new hole as determined by the drill rep.
Using DISWin
Clarification and Examples for the Proper Coding of Sidetracks

The following types of sidetracks have not been coded consistently in the past. The examples
have been provided to assist in reducing the confusion associated with proper sidetrack coding.
" Slot Recovery/Redrill of an Existing Well
A planned sidetrack of an existing producing or injecting well is not considered a geological

sidetrack and should be coded as follows:
• All operations involved with removing completion equipment and plugging the original
wellbore should be activity code 05.
• Drilling operations should be coded Activity 01 when the whipstock is picked up.
• In DISWin, the use of project number 1 and greater (whether the original project 0 is in the
database or not) signals the project is not the original drill. Therefore, no previous coding
of 01 exists in the database for the project and this code should be used for the slot
recovery/redrill.
of RD – Redrill/Slot Recovery.
• Code 03 can be used if the slot recovery (i.e. the original planned sidetrack) does not meet
its geological objective and is sidetracked to a new objective.
" Pre-planned pilot holes (locator wells)
Pre-planned pilot holes are an integral part of the well design and should be coded as such.
• All time spent drilling and plugging the programmed pilot hole should be coded as 01.
of MW – Main Wellbore for the planned final well path.
• The planned keeper well needs to be entered into the survey data as sidetrack 1.
• All time spent drilling (and plugging if required) the planned keeper well should be coded
01 drilling.
• Codes 03 and 04 should be used as required for any additional unplanned sidetracks
during the project.
" Exploration Spider Wells
• Some exploration wells include the main wellbore, which is followed by a number of planned
sidetracks to further evaluate the prospect. The main wellbore and each sidetrack is plugged
back before drilling and evaluating the next sidetrack. These spider wells should be coded
as follows:
• All time spent drilling and plugging the main wellbore and each planned evaluation sidetrack
should be coded as Activity 01.
• Each sidetrack should be entered on page 3 of the Well Master with the sidetrack code of
GE – Geologic Sidetrack.
• Each sidetrack should be entered into the survey data with the appropriate sidetrack
number.
• Codes 03 and 04 should be used as required for any additional unplanned sidetracks
during the project.
" Multilateral Wells
• All time spent drilling the pre-planned laterals should be coded 01.
• Any unplanned sidetracks should be given the appropriate code 03 or 04 depending on the
situation.
• New in DISWin 2.0 – lateral numbers are separate from sidetrack numbers on page 3 of
Wellmaster. The numbers assigned on the Wellmaster should also be used in the survey
header data.
The manner in which the data on page 3 of the Well Master and in the survey section is
DISWin Version 2.0
entered will depend on the type of multilateral.
Type 1: The well is drilled to TD and cased (Enter as Sidetrack 0, Lateral 0). A retrievable
whipstock is set and a lateral is drilled from the cased wellbore (Enter as Sidetrack 0, Lateral
1).
Type 2: The well is drilled and casing is run and cemented (Sidetrack 0, Lateral 0). The
cement is drilled out and a lateral is drilled to TD and displaced to completion fluid (Sidetrack
0, Lateral 1). A second lateral is drilled from some KOP in lateral 1 and drilled to TD (Sidetrack
0, Lateral 2).
Type 3: The well is drilled to TD and a downhole splitter is ran and cemented in place (Sidetrack
0, Lateral 0). The first lateral is drilled from the splitter (Sidetrack 0, Lateral 1). The second
lateral is drilled from the splitter (Sidetrack 0, Lateral 2).
Hole sections are only numbered as sidetracks when they are sidetracked from a hole section
that was permanently plugged back and will not be completed for production.
05 Workover - All rig time spent on workovers subsequent to the initial completion. This code
should also be used in the case of a redrill, time working over the well prior to drilling activities.
• For Coiled Tubing operations, 05 – Workover commences when Coil Tubing starts going in
the hole. All time prior to this should be location.
• Code all time recovering a slot for a planned sidetrack under 05 workover activity until
sidetrack equipment is picked up, then begin coding under activity code 01.
06 Completion - All rig time spent while operations are pertinent to the original completion of
a development well.
• Completion time should start when the last logging tool has been POOH and logging
equipment has been R/D, or if a wiper trip was required – after the wiper trip was made.
• Running Production casing or liner is taken into account here.
• Wells drilled for exploration or delineation purposes where completions are done for the
purpose of a DST are not accounted for under this activity. As the work in that case is to
test a well, time should be allocated to reservoir evaluation (07).
• Remember to switch to COMPLETION/WO Report format at this point when finished
with the drilling operations. Not switching to the new format causes more work for the
field office to clean up the data.
# Tip: if you forgot to switch general data to completion general data, you can change the D for
drilling to C for completion on page 2 of general data. After you close the screen the record
will move to completion general data. The time breakdown however, cannot be automatically
moved. If you have this situation, beg for forgiveness and contact your DISWin support person
for assistance. A script is available and can be obtained from San Ramon or Houston to move
the data.
07 Reservoir Evaluation - All rig time spent while operations are pertinent to reservoir
evaluation, i.e., well testing, or stimulation activities, come under the activity of reservoir
evaluation.
• As with the other activity codes, time directly associated with the performance of these
operations are likewise captured.
• Time should begin when the last logging tool has been POOH and equipment rigged
down, or if a wiper trip was required – after the wiper trip was made.
• Include all BOP tests, trips, running of tubing, spotting test equipment and any other
operation which is performed due to the drill stem test, e.g. running a liner or full string
on an exploration well so that a DST can be performed, the subsequent cleanout, required
squeezes, etc.
• Should P & A or Suspend operations be deemed necessary or planned, 07 time should
end when P & A operations or Suspension operations begin. (You then go
Using DISWin
• back to Drilling 01 to P & A or suspend original objective or Geological Sidetrack 03 to

P & A or suspend a new geological objective or target. Remember to code all R/D time to
Location 08, after P & A or Suspend operations are complete.)
08 Location - All rig time spent while preparing or cleaning a location, moving on or off a
location, R/U and R/D on location.
• Rig can mean drilling, well servicing, workover, coiled tubing or snubbing unit.
• Weather related downtime on any location.
• Running anchors, skidding, jacking up/down, etc.
• This activity should also include any auxiliary work done for SIMOPS such as wireline
work.
• This activity should also include any unplanned logistical problems such as crew strikes
or community relations problems. These activities should also be coded trouble.
09 Deepening - All rig time spent on reaching a new bottom hole location deeper than that
originally proposed. This includes extensions of horizontal section lengths, which are beyond
the originally planned interval. If additional casing is required to reach this new target TD,
include the time required for running and cementing that pipe.
• Time commences when:
a) if on bottom drilling when the original TVD is to be exceeded
b) if after the last logging run then after RIH with BHA to clean wellbore from logging run
c) if a wiper trip had been made and then decision is made to deepen then time commences
when making up BHA to RIH.
• This time ends after P&A of deepened interval or commencement of completion or reservoir
evaluation.
• All events under this Activity should be coded U, Unplanned Activity. Any subsequent
trouble during this activity should be coded X, Trouble during unplanned events.
New Code With DISWin 2.0:

99 Comments – This code is for comments only, and should be used with category code 99.
NOTE: Do not use this code if you are recording hourly operations. When using this code, the
hours should be blank. Use this code for S 24 Hour Summary remarks, and P Projected
Operations. You may also use this code when making general remarks or comments that do
not belong to an hourly description of activities. Use of this code prevents unwanted information
from pulling to a query for category codes.
Category Codes
The category codes are used for more operational detail than the Activity Codes. One can
check and see how much time was taken on a certain operation and if other measures can be
taken to reduce that time. On the other side, one can see if there was any trouble involved in
a particular operation and take measures to solve that problem
before it occurs again. Please note that rig operations captured under Category Codes do not
alter the Activity codes, with one exception – rig repair (category code 20). Rig repair time is
pulled out regardless of activity code and displayed on the first page of the Time & Cost report
separately. On the detailed pages by activity code, the rig repair for that activity only is displayed.
DISWin Category Codes

01 Circulate and Condition - All rig time spent circulating bottoms-up, circulating out planned
influxes (such as after perforating under balanced), reverse circulating, conditioning mud,
etc.
• Time spent displacing a well to completion fluid or filtering completion fluid should be
captured under category 46 - Completion Fluid.
• Time spent circulating while spotting LCM pills should be captured under category 50 -
DISWin Version 2.0
Lost Circulation.
• Time spent mixing and pumping a slug to POOH.
• Include unplugging of flow lines due to gumbo accumulation. This is ‘T’ time and is therefore
set apart from other routine circulating operations.

sidetracking. Drilling shoe track or a cement plug is not considered here until new hole is
being made.
03 Hole Opening, Underream - All rig time spent opening the hole to a new diameter.
• All time spent opening a core hole or a pilot hole drilled for geologic reasons should be
coded with this category, however the Activity code should be 02 Geological Evaluation.
04 Reaming, Hole Conditioning - Cleaning out or wiping out a hole that is tight or precautionary
backward/forward reaming. Reaming can be done with a bit or hole opener in a section that

an MWD is run specifically and for the sole purpose of gathering information, all time should
be captured here.
# Tip: When starting over your surveys after a sidetrack or lateral hole, remember to add a
new record for header and tie in data for the new sidetrack or lateral number in the survey
data. This will keep your directional data separated per hole section.
07 PU/LD Drill pipe, BHA - All time spent P/U and L/D BHA components, drillpipe, coring
assemblies, DST tools, etc. is captured here. While these operations may come under different
activity codes, it is important for us to categorize these similar operations.

New Code With DISWin 2.0

99 Comments – This code is for comments only, and should be used with activity code 99. Do
DISWin Version 2.0
not use this code if you are recording hourly operations. When using this code, the hours
should be blank. Use this code for S 24 Hour Summary remarks, and P Projected Operations.
You may also use this code when making general remarks or comments that do not belong to
an hourly description of activities. Use of this code prevents unwanted information from pulling
to a query for category codes.
Trouble and Unplanned Coding
Normal or Planned Activity (N) – This code should be used for all activities performed that
were accounted for in the original drilling program/AFE. The planned drilling of a pilot hole
and the subsequent sidetrack of that hole to a horizontal is considered normal operations.
This code is the default on the Operational Time Breakdown screen.
Trouble During a Planned Event (T) – Trouble Time is defined as any event that took longer
than anticipated or is considered problematic with respect to planned operations. Trouble
time should end whenever normal operations are resumed.
For example:
• Shut down of a rig due to community disturbances or rig crew striking would be coded T
and trouble type code 109 (Labor/Community Issues) These should also be carried as
activity 08 – Location.
• Rig repair (Category 20) is considered T.
• Taking/circulating out a kick.
• Reaming or Backreaming due to tight hole should be considered T
• Malfunction of logging tools or MWD/LWD tools should be classified as T as well as any
trips necessary to fix the problem. The time should return to N when the
• operation is back to where it should have been without T time. If LWD or logging tools, this
should be carried under Activity 02.
• POOH for a washout and changing BHA/DP and TIH should be T
• W.O.W. is considered T. It should be carried as Activity 08 – Location.
• Waiting on equipment or on vessels should be carried as T.
• Stuck pipe, time spent circulating hole due to overloading of cuttings, etc.
• Fishing Operations – category code 18, carried as T with a trouble type code reflecting the
reason for the fishing job (i.e. stuck pipe – code 401).
Unplanned Events (U) – This code is to account for an activity that was not in the original
plan of the well and would not be considered trouble. An Unplanned event can be due to
unexpected drilling circumstances or a change in plan.
For example:
• Circulating for geologic samples.
• Additional backreaming/short tripping that was done to ensure good drilling practices,
but was not planned. Backreaming due to tight hole is considered T.
• Additional logging trips in excess of the original program.
Trouble During Unplanned Activity (X) – This is trouble time incurred while carrying out a
U operation. This is to track the successes/failures of operations not planned in the drilling
program.
For example:
• Any Trouble event noted above in T that occurs during a U operation.
• Stuck wireline tools during an unplanned logging run.
• Code X is for trouble events during unplanned activities not for trouble events during
trouble events. When a trouble event occurs during a trouble event, (such as rig repair
Using DISWin
during a fishing job) the code remains T and the Trouble Type and Trouble Responsibility
are to be the most applicable code.
NOTES:
• For each T or X, a Trouble Type and a Trouble Responsibility should be selected based on
the most accurate item from the list.
! The trouble type should be chosen based on the best fitting description of the trouble.
! The trouble responsibility is the party responsible for the trouble
$ OPER – Operator is responsible for all trouble time related to the wellbore or hole
problems.
$ CONTR – Contractor is responsible for all problems arising from Rig Repair or rig
equipment downtime, including pumps, TDS, drawworks, BOP equipment, washout
in drillpipe (if it is the rig’s drillpipe).
$ VENDOR – Vendor is responsible if a third party service is the cause of trouble
such as MWD/LWD failure, cement unit failure or electric logging equipment failure.
$ WTHR – Weather is responsible for all trouble relating to waiting on weather.
• A brief note should be made on page three of the Operations Summary section with the
corresponding time block to describe what the trouble was.
• Rig maintenance should be coded as whatever the previous category is. For example, slip/
cut drill line in the middle of fishing operations should be coded as whatever the fishing is
since the extra tonne-miles are due to the fishing trips.
Best Practices/Lessons Learned (B) – This code is to account for all activities considered a
Best Practice or a Lesson Learned. It is located under the trouble type indicator codes, but is
not considered trouble. A Best Practice/Lesson Learned is an operation that significantly
improves the operation, a new practice for a task or simply a successful or unsuccessful
operation. This data is important to capture so it can be shared on a regular basis with other
Chevron SBUs.
• A brief note should be made on page three of the Operations Summary section with the
corresponding time block to describe what the Best Practice/Lesson Learned was.
• A trouble type code can be selected to assist in classifying the Best Practice/Lesson Learned.
• These items should also be documented on the final well report. Executing a query that
pulls all T, U, X and B can find these easily. This data should be used when writing final
well report.
DISWin has a Best Practices/Trouble Report in the Report menu. However, this report is only
available if Page 3 of the Operations Summary is filled out.
Daily Activity Trouble Responsibility

Code identifying the responsible party or the event resulting in the trouble activity, such as
weather, evaluation, contractor, vendor, operator, etc.
WYSIWYG Reports
About WYSIWYG Reports

The WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) report interface provides an advantage to the user
because the data entry layout corresponds with the printed reports. This means that users can make
changes directly to the reports rather than having to make changes by going back through the
database modules.
You can access the WYSIWYG reports from the bottom row of the main push-button menu. The two
reports currently used under the WYSIWYG format are Drilling Activity Reports and Completion/WO
Reports.
DISWin Version 2.0
When you click the Drilling Activity Report or the Completion Report button, you can either
begin a new WYSIWYG report or copy and edit a report that already exists by clicking the New
button at the top of the screen. After you click the button, a dialogue box will appear with
three buttons (Copy Report, New Report, and Exit). Select a From Date from the drop-down
menu, and right-click the To Date field to select a date from the calendar that will appear.
Click the New button to begin a new report within this date range, or click Copy to copy the
report data within this date range. Most often, you will use the Copy Report button to copy
and then edit the previous day’s report.
Once you enter the report data module, you will enter data (calculations, remarks, etc.) directly
into the dark blue fields. The data in the light blue fields will be pulled from the program’s
databases automatically. Some fields have a button for a drop-down menu. Data such as the
Date, Mud Co., Mud Type, Casing Configuration Sequence Number, and Activity and Category
Codes can be selected from these lists.
There are other buttons among the fields as well, such as Edit Casing Configuration Data,
Mud Data, Bit Module, BHA Module, Survey, and Cost. By clicking these buttons, the user
can enter the corresponding database to edit the data within that module, as well as update
the corresponding section on the report. If you edit the data in the DISWin module after you
enter data into the report fields, the data in the report will be updated to correspond with the
module data. Changing data in the report will not change data in the DISWin module.

Overview
This chapter provides a basic synopsis of the DISWin utilities, including what
they are, what they do, and how to use them. These utilities include calculation
tools, data transfer options such as import data, document copy, and copy
data between wells, and system setup functions such as changing user
password, Batch Drilling, and lookup tables maintenance.
DISWin Version 2.0
Utilities
Add/Delete/Modify a Well
Adding a Chevno or Well Identification Number

Select Add/Delete/Modify a Well from the Utilities menu. Press F8 or click the Add button
. Enter your new well identification number, or Chevno, and the project number. If the
Chevno is already in your database, you will receive a message indicating that your system
contains duplicate ID numbers. If you do not get this message, enter the well name and press
F10 or click the Save button to save the record.
Note: DISWin will only search for duplicate ID numbers within the database you are logged on
to. If the Chevno is not on your local database, it could still be on the workstation database in the
home office.
Adding a New Project Number to an Existing Well ID

Generally, project numbers are added to wells that are assigned new AFE Numbers and already
have an existing original project on the database. For example: The original drilling project
would be project 0, but the completion (if a new AFE is assigned) would be project 1, and a
workover after that would be project 2. However, if the original drilling AFE included the
completion operations, even if the completion operations were performed several months after
the original drilling project, it would still be project 0, resumed after a delay.
To add a new project number to an existing Chevno, click the Find button and select the
well ID number you would like to add the project to. If the well ID does not exist on your local
database, you will have to add it as a new well.
Go to page 2 and press the Add button . Enter the new project number in accordance to
the number of projects already existing for that well. If you are unsure of what project number
to use, use the Find utility to see how many projects there are. If there are any other questions
regarding which Chevno and project numbers to use, contact your home office. Press to
save. Activate the new project from the Well Change module to begin data entry. The Wellmaster
data and Project data will pull automatically from the original project. If any other items are
the same, you can use the Copy Data Between Wells Utility discussed later in this chapter.
# Tip: If you are working on a rig, it is best to obtain your Chevnos and project numbers from
your field office, as they have access to the workstation databases and can check for previously
existing projects. If you need to start your data and cannot obtain this information, you can
make up a number and change it when the you know the correct one.
Changing a Chevno or Well Identification Number

From the Add/Delete/Modify a Well module, select the well you want to change and type over
the old Chevno with the new Chevno. The well will be updated when you save it .
Delete a Chevno or Well Identification Number

From the Add/Delete/Modify a Well module, select the well you want to delete, and press F7
or click the Delete button . You will receive a second chance message to verify the deletion.
DISWin Version 2.0
Back Up/Restore Well Data
Back up Well Data
If you need to back up data from a well project, select Backup Well Data from the Utilities
menu. You can choose to back up your data to a network drive, hard drive, or floppy drive. If
you use a floppy drive, you will only be able to backup one instance of each well ID on the disk.
If you try back up data for a well ID that you have backed up previously, the previous backup
will be overwritten by the new one. You can back up different well IDs on one disk, but if you
want to back up multiple projects from the same Well ID, you will have to save each one on a
separate disk or directory. Check the space available on your disk if you save multiple wells to
it. When your disk is full, the DISWin program will not display an error message saying so.
Instead, your data will be lost.
Restore Well Data

If a well exists somewhere other than your local database, you can use the restore function to
add it to your database without having to add it as a new well. You will receive messages
indicating a new project has been started, as it is a new project on your database. Specify
which drive or directory you will be restoring from, and the computer will transfer the data.
If the well already exists on your local database, you will be prompted to overwrite the file with
the new data. You will also have to choose whether or not you want to restore summaries. This
choice will depend on whether you are in the home office or the field office, as the home office
produces morning summaries and the field office does not. If you restored morning summaries
from the field office to the home office, the home office summaries would be overwritten by
blank ones from the field office.
Restore a Backed Up Well:

• If the target database is local, the Wellmaster and Sidetrack data will always be updated or
replaced during full or incremental data transfer.
• If the target database is Oracle, the Wellmaster data will not be updated or replaced during
the restore.
• If the Project Start Dates do not match between the backup well and the target well, the
• If the well does not exist on the target database, all data will be transferred.
Utilities
Copy Data Between Wells
You can copy certain data (including Service Companies, the Initial Tour Report, or Daily Cost
and Annotations) from a previous well if it is still stored on your computer. Select Copy Data
Between Wells from the Utilities menu. Enter the well you are copying from, the well you are
copying data to, and the type of data you want to copy. When you have finished copying the
data, go through the files and make any necessary changes to the dates and AFE data.
Note: When copying Mud Inventory or Physical inventory between wells, DISWin will copy
only the last day’s data. When copying Bit Data between wells, the program will only copy bits
that do not have assigned bit numbers.

options regarding summary inclusion, custom mud list, company name, Automatic Full PC to
PC data transfer, and Automatic Report Generation. Depending on your location and your
communication abilities to your field office, you may want to set defaults for transmitting your
daily data.
Do NOT Update Summary Data During Transfer

All rigs should select this, all offices should leave it blank. This prevents blank rig summaries
from wiping out the summaries generated in the office PC database.
Use Custom Mud List

If you have created a Custom Mud List, you can enable it by clicking this option, which marks
Utilities
it with an x. See Custom Mud Codes under Update Lookup Tables.
Company Name
During installation you chose which company you work for (COPI or CPDN). However, in COPI
there are several SBU’s with their own company names. You can enter here whatever company
name you want to print on your reports
Automatic Report Generation

To print daily reports for all wells active today or yesterday, click this option and then make
the appropriate selections. The system will search for today’s date or yesterday’s date throughout
the database you are logged on to, and then print the selected reports. You may select one or
more reports. If you select Drilling Activity Report and Completion/WO report, DISWin will
print one or the other, depending on the data entered for wells on that date. Likewise, DISWin
will determine, according to data entered that day, whether to print the Mud Report or the Oil
Base Mud Report.
Profit Center Name

During installation you chose which profit center you work for.
Unit Selection
Select Metric only if you are entering data and printing reports using ALL metric data (regarding
CCR Database only). Select English or leave this section blank if you are entering data in
Oilfield (English) units. If you select Mixed units, all data that is listed as depth, length, or
distance will be interpreted as meters and the system will convert the measurements to feet
when the data is stored in the database.
Note: The “Mixed” unit selection applies only to depths, lengths, and distances.
Automatic Inc. PC to PC Transfer

Select this option to send a PC to PC transfer at a specified time. You must set up the PC to PC
modem communications configuration for this option to work.
Automatic Full Upload/Download

Select this option if you want to perform a full upload of a well or several wells at a specified
time. This option is useful if you have a lot of data to load and you want to load it during your
off hours.
Note: Make sure that your server doesn’t shut down for backup at a certain time every day.
You can check this with your LAN analyst.
Look-Up Tables Maintenance
Update Lookup Tables

DISWin Version 2.0
BHA Inventory Description

This is where you build your picklist of BHA connections. Enter each description one at a
time, and save each entry. When you enter your BHA Data, these items will appear in the BHA
connection picklist on the BHA Inventory page.
Mud Codes
Use this screen to add or delete mud codes from your custom mud code list. A custom mud
code list is useful when you don’t want to search through the entire mud code list for certain
mud codes you use often. Enter a Y(es) or N(o) to indicate whether or not to include the entry
in the custom mud list.
Once you have entered a Y for the codes you want to include in your Custom Mud List, go to
Utilities, Set Up System, System Configuration, and click the Use Custom Mud List box,
placing a check in it. This will allow you to access the Custom Mud List when you are using
the Find list on the Mud Chemical Usage screen. You can go back to the full list by disabling
the Custom Mud List in the System Configuration Utility. You can add items to the Custom
Mud List at any time by returning to the Custom Mud Code screen and entering a Y for any
additions. You can also remove items from the list by entering an N over the Y.
If you use items that are not on the Mud Code List, fax them to the Drilling Fluids Section at
the Drilling Technology Center at CTN (713) 230-2669. They will need the
product description, unit size, package type and an indication of whether it is an oilbase or
waterbase product. This list can be updated and revised quickly.
Tubing Description
This is where you build your picklist for the Tubing Description field under Data Entry, Tubing
Landing Details or Hardware Data. Enter items one at a time and save each one. These entries
will compose the Tubing Description picklist on the Tubing Details and Hardware Data modules.
Backup/Restore
Backup
Allows user to export the lookup tables to a file.
Restore
Allows user to restore the previously backed up lookup tables.
Print
Allows the user to print selected lookup table codes and descriptions to Notepad.
Utilities
Change DISWin Password

User can now change their own password regardless what their security level is by accessing
Utilities/Change DISWin Password. Simply enter your new password, confirm it, and click
OK.
Data Loader
The Data Loader function deletes old data and inserts new data when performing an upload/
download or an incremental update. This function is automatic when you perform upload/
download or incremental update from the Communications menu. There may be instances
when you need to load the data in your log files. This procedure will perform the data load
again, using the same log file as the previous upload/download or incremental update.
Load SQL
Use this utility to run Pop Files against your local database. Pop files are written and provided
by your home office support to add field names, mud codes, or to fix bugs. You can use this
utility, or you can run the files outside of DISWin by following the steps for running pop files
found in Chapter 7—Troubleshooting.
Calculator
Use the calculator utility to perform conversions. The calculator from the Utility menu allows
you to select any available conversions, and the calculator function from the data entry screen
menu bars narrows down the conversions choices depending on which data entry field is
highlighted at the time. For example: if your cursor is on water depth on the Initial Tour
Report, and you select F6 or click the calc button, the calculator utility will only list distance
conversions (ft, meters, etc.). Simply enter your from and to conversion factors, an amount,
and click OK. You will see your result at the top of the screen.
DISWin Version 2.0
Custom Well List
You can use this utility to build a custom well list. If you are working in the field office or home
office, you may want to have all the active wells on your custom well list. Simply highlight the
Chevno of the well you want and click the Include button. All of the wells you select will
appear on the Well Change Screen when you pull the wells from your Custom Well list. You
can also use your custom well list to run Ad Hoc XY plots for multiple wells.
Report Well List
If you want to run the same reports for several wells at one time, build a well report set.
Highlight the Chevnos of the wells you want to include, and click the Include button. When
you run a report, click Well Report Set and the report will run for all wells. Most often, the
home office uses this function for Morning Summary Reports.
Utilities
Document Copy
This feature is used to paste Word Perfect or Microsoft Word documents into the Extra Details
screen and Summary/Conclusions/Recommendations screen. It does not function as a word
processor itself.
To Paste a Document into DISWin:

1. Select the well you need from the Well Change module. Minimize DISWin.
2. Open your Word document and edit as necessary. Highlight your entire document and
copy it. Minimize the Word Document.
3. From DISWin, select Document Copy from the Utilities menu. Open the screen (Extra
Details or Summary/Conclusions/Recommendations) into which you will be pasting the
Word Document. If you decide to use the Extra Details screen, use the preset date or select
a date to of an existing record to use.
4. Place your cursor in the input box. Select Paste from the Edit menu, and your document
will appear in the field.
5. Save your document and exit the Document Copy utility. It may be helpful to enter the
data entry module or print the report and view the results of the document copy.
DISWin will automatically fit up to 130 characters of text for Extra Details and up to 72
characters of text for Summary/Conclusions/Recommendations. Fonts will be adjusted
accordingly. You may not be able to see it all on the Summary/Conclusions/Recommendations
screen, but it will appear on the printed report.
To move the document back to the Document Copy screen, click on the screen you want to
pull it from, then retrieve it from the file menu. If you clear the document from this screen, it
will still appear on the data entry screen.
Note: The Document Copy Utility is not a word-processing tool, so you cannot edit your
document from this screen. To edit your document, make the necessary changes in the word-
processing software where the file is, then re-paste it using the Document Copy Utility. You
will receive a message indicating that previous data will be deleted and the edited version will
be inserted. If you want to delete the text entirely from DISWin, you will need to delete it
directly from the appropriate data entry screen.
DISWin Version 2.0
Batch Drill Setup
The batch drilling function allows the users to enter the time and cost for one well and
automatically divide and distribute the time and cost to selected batch wells.
1. All wells for the batch job must be created on the database.
2. Set up and select the wells for the batch job:
• Select Batch Drill from the Utilities menu. A dialog box will appear with three radio
buttons at the top:
! Create Batch
! Edit Batch
! Change Primary Well
• Select Create Batch.
• Select well from the Available box and move them into the Selected box. You must
select a primary well before the batch list and creation date can be saved in the database.
3. A batch list of wells can be edited and deleted after you create it. If the current well is a
batch well, the Edit Batch radio button is checked when the program is started. Any wells
can be added or removed except for the primary well, which can removed only after all
other batch wells have been removed.
4. When the batch wells are selected, the Chevno (Well ID) and the Project ID will be added.
By using the picklist in the Utilities/Batch Drill Setup, you can select the Well ID for the
well selected to be the Primary Well (Primary Well Chevno).
5. If necessary, the primary well in a batch can be changed. Select the Change Primary Well
option and then click on the Primary Well drop down button. Select the well and the
program will change it in the database.
6. After you create the batch list, the daily activity and cost modules will divide the time and
cost values evenly between the selected wells (in cases that cannot be 100% accurate, the
program tries to be as close to 100% as possible). When entering data in these two modules
for a batch well, enter raw data only. Be careful not to enter calculated data, because that
will result in a double calculation.
Utilities
For example, if one line item costs $1000 on the day, enter $1000. The program will divide
this amount by the number of wells in that batch. If there are 2 wells, you will see $500 on
screen, and if there are 3, you will see $333, in that case, one dollar is truncated. If you
enter $500 or $333, the program will calculate again, thus you get the wrong result.
7. When the record is saved, all calculations are made automatically. This means that saving
your data , changing to a different record, changing pages, or exiting the page will
cause the program to run the calculation for the current record.
8. A well in a batch mode depends on the relationship between its batch well start date and
the current date. If the start date is earlier than the current date and it is still selected as
a batch well in the batch setup, it is considered as batch well. Otherwise it is not. The
primary well’s start date is used as a criteria in cost and time calculation.
9. If a record in the Cost or Daily Operation module is created, edited or deleted, the same
operation will be done for the other wells in that batch. The batch calculations and operations
will be executed if the user is logged on to any of the wells that are currently on a batch
list.
10. The following screens are updated in the batch drilling mode:
• Daily Activities
• Description of Daily Activities
• Daily Remarks
• Best Practices/Trouble Remarks
• Cost
• Daily Cost Data
• Daily Cost Annotations
11. An icon and message will display at the top of the screen when in batch drilling mode.
Import Data
To import MI’s MudTrax drilling fluid data, select Import Data from the Utilities
menu, and click MudTrax Data. Insert disk into A: drive with MI Daily Drilling
Fluid data. Highlight the file name and click OK. The file will load automatically
into DISWin. Please review the DISWin Mud Report to verify accuracy after
loading MudTrax data.
DISWin Version 2.0
Note: Data will be exported into the current well. If it is not the choice, press
the Change Well button to change the well.
Well Change
Use this utility to change from well to well and to custom list and report list. You can narrow
down your choices by selecting Business Unit, Country, and Field Name if you know this
information. Double click on the Well ID number, then the project numbers for that well ID
will appear in the project ID box. Double click on the project number. If you want to make only
the wells from your custom list available for selection, mark the custom list box. If you want to
make only the wells from your report list available for selection, mark the report list box.
# Tip: You can click on a Chevno in the list, then type the first letter of the Chevno you are
looking for. The well list will jump to that set of letters. A search by number and/or well
name is on the way!

Network Printer Using Windows NT and PC’s using Windows 95

Jetform requires that the network printer be set up as an LPT when using Windows NT servers.
This problem only exists with Windows NT and not with Novell servers. Use the following
procedure when setting up your network printer:
1. Select Printers from the Control Panel menu and select the network printer to be used for
reporting.
2. From the File menu, select Properties or, click once on the right mouse button and select
Properties.
3. Select Details and click on Capture Printer Port, select an unused port such as LPT2 or
LPT3 for Device, and choose the path for the desired network printer.
4. Click on Reconnect at logon and click OK.

5. Select Print to Following Port:.
6. Select LPT2: or LPT3: based on your selection in step 3. At this time the LPT should also
include the path such as LPT2:(\\HOU220-PRINT01\A145BW).
DISWin Version 2.0
7. Click the Apply button and click OK. At this point your network printer will be set up as an
LPT device and Jetform will print properly.
Other Errors/Solutions
Error in CQAMACRO.TXT
This means the user does not have write access to the DISWin\BIN directory. Add the user to
the Novell or WIN NT group that has the appropriate access. For Gulf of Mexico this is the
DISWin group.
Cannot Start Excel

Make sure that the following line is in your autoexec.bat path statement:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE (or the path to where Excel.exe is)
Could Not open Merge File

This error occurs when running reports and the <report name>.mdf or .tmp file is missing
from the \DISWin\report\design directory. Note: Do not delete the .tmp files in this directory.
They are template files—not temporary files—and they are required by JetForm.
Failed Fetching Results

This error occurs when DISWin cannot find information in the database about the report you
are trying to run. If you receive this error message, you will need to contact Ted Allen at CTN:
230-2779 to get an updated Pop File for that report.
Data in Wrong Project

Sometimes a user may enter data into a new project and discover later that the data should
have been entered into an existing project. To solve this problem, the user must merge the
new data into the old project and delete the new project.
Example:
Project AA0000-0 exists for Drilling and Completion, but then the user creates Project AA0000-
1 by mistake and enters completion data into the new project for five days.
Solution:
1. Create a backup for projects 0 and 1.
2. Using the PC to PC communications, begin to send a Full data transfer to the office or any
destination for project 1.
3. When the modem starts dialing, click on Cancel (all you want to do is build the export file).
4. Go to the \DISWin\TRANS directory and rename the export.sql to export.wtd.
5. Edit the export.wtd by adding a semicolon to the end of each line.
6. Form the Utilities menu, select Add/Delete/Modify A Well, and select well AA0000. Select
and delete project 1.
7. After project 1 has been deleted, change project 0 to project 1 and save the record.
8. From the Utilities menu, select Load SQL and select export.wtd from the \DISWin\TRANS
directory. When asked if you want to load the file, click OK.
9. Click on Continue when you get an error indicating duplicate data. You WILL get errors
Troubleshooting
during this process but should not affect your data.
10. Form the Utilities menu, select Add/Delete/Modify A Well and select AA0000. Change
project 1 to project 0 and save the record.
11. Go to the Well Change module and select AA0000, project 0.
12. Your data from project 1 should be merged with project 0 at this time.
13. If data is missing, check your export.wtd file and ensure that semicolons have been placed
at the end of each line.
14. If you find that some semicolons have been left out, you can rerun the export.wtd but you
will receive errors for all the statements that were accepted the first time it was run. Again,
click Continue and the errors should not cause any problems.
15. If for any reason, you are not satisfied with the results you can restore both projects that
you have backed up.
16. When you have finished, delete the export.wtd file in the \DISWin\TRANS directory.
Note: These steps will work for wells that have the wrong Chevnos as well as the wrong project
numbers.
Editing an Existing Record

This message warns the user if they are editing an existing record in Data Entry. This is just
a precautionary measure to prevent the user from altering data unintentionally.
Deleting Log Files
You should delete your log files by accessing Delete Log Files from the Communications menu
after each file transmission. You should also Clear the Transmission Log in the PC to PC
Communications module. If you let these build up, transmitting, importing, and reading the
data takes too long. You will find the Log files—using Windows Explorer File Manager—in the
DISWin/TRANS directory. They will be numbered sequentially. The error messages are in the
DISWin/TRANS/UPLOAD directory in the Logfile.txt file, and the transmission (PC to PC modem)
messages are found in the Discomm.txt file. All of these files can be deleted in Windows
Explorer File Manager or inside DISWin if no longer needed. This needs to be done by both the
office and the rig PC.
File too large for Note Pad?

If you get a message that notepad cannot read your log/error message file because it is too
large for notepad to open, you can view the file from outside DISWin, using word processing
software such as MS Word. Open Word, find the files in your DISWin/TRANS/UPLOAD directory
(logfile.txt or discomm.txt), and open the files. Delete these files if you no longer need them.
Pop Files
Pop files are GUPTA files (located in your Local PC database) that are run from the Wintalk
utility found in your DISWin\GUPTA directory. These files usually start with the word Pop
and always have an extension of .wtd. When you run these files, they update the tables in the
DISWin Version 2.0
database. You will need to run pop files received from you home office to update your database
for new field names and various updates/fixes. Before running a pop file against your database,
make sure that DISWin is closed because you will have to access the database through File
Manager and you cannot have the database open twice.
To Run Pop Files:

1. From the Utilities Menu, select Load SQL.
2. Find the file you want to load, highlight it, and click OK. Your database will now be
updated.
Duplicate data error message?

If you get a message at the bottom of the screen after running Current script that reads
“Insert/update of unique constrained columns with duplicate”, it is due to some of the tables
being already updated. This will occur if you receive an updated new field pop file that may
have the new field, but also some other fields that have previously been added. In this situation,
click OK to continue loading the rest of the file.
Scandisk
You should run Scandisk at least once a month as a maintenance routine. You can run
Scandisk by clicking on the Start button and selecting Run. Type Scandisk and click OK. You
can also access Scandisk from Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools and then clicking
on the Scandisk icon. Make sure you check the box allowing you to automatically fix errors.
A third way to run Scandisk if from the DOS prompt. Exit Windows and select Restart Computer
in DOS Mode, and then type Scandisk at the C:> prompt, then press Enter. Follow the
instructions which walk you through lost clusters and bad sectors on your hard drive. This
will improve performance not only for DISWin but all other applications on your hard drive. If
DISWin is installed on your D drive, perform a Scandisk on that
drive by changing to that directory at the DOS prompt prior to entering the Scandisk command.
Performing this function will usually clear a Login failure.
If you receive a read/write error when trying to login to your LOCAL database, it means that
some lost clusters or bad sectors need to be cleared out, or that there are corrupted files.
JetForm
Jetform is the form software included in the DISWin package. The program pulls data from
the DISWin database(s) into the forms designed by Jetform to match our tour reports. The
data can be saved with or without the forms for later use. You can print, fax, or Email the
forms, with or without the data, by using the utilities on the Jetform menu. Jetform has its
own online Help if you have specific questions on its functions. Below are tips for distributing
the drilling reports.
Printing
Jetform output will automatically use your windows default printer unless configured otherwise.
To set up your printer within Jetform, click on File, Printer Setup and follow the menu. Make
sure you have an 8 1/2" x 14" (legal size) paper tray to print the tour reports. If you have any
trouble printing, check your printer’s setup under control panel and/or your network printing
specifications. You may need to contact your PC coordinator for help.
Troubleshooting
Faxing
You can fax reports from DISWin if you have fax software such as WinFax installed on your
PC. Simply edit your Jfiller.ini file located in your Windows directory. Select File from the
Windows Explorer File Manager, Select Search from the File menu and enter Jfiller,ini. Enter
WinFax in the Jetform section For other fax software, check your setup guides for the
appropriate coding. When you install your fax software, it writes the code to your Win.ini file.
Access that file from your Windows directory and copy the code to your Jfiller.ini file where the
statement says FAX=. When you access Jetform as you run a report, select FaxForm from the
File menu, and this will open your fax software. Use your fax software to distribute the Jetform
(DISWin) report currently on your screen. You can create a distribution list in your fax software
and send the report on your screen to the entire distribution list.
Email
You can email a report directly from Jetform by clicking on the Send button on the Jetform
menu. Jetform will open your email login screen and the report you are running will be sent to
any email address you choose. You can set up a custom address with a distribution list and
send to many addresses at once.
Jetform on Network
The Jetform software can be copied to a network drive and accessed by anyone on the server.
Each user should perform the following steps:
1. Add the Jetform location to your path statement in your autoexec.bat file.
2. Copy the Jfiller.ini file from the server Jetform directory to your windows directory.
3. Edit the Jfiller.ini file, indicating the correct location of the software in the exepath=
statement (i.e.: exepath=O:/Jetform).
4. Using File Manager, click on File, Associate, and for file extension to associate, enter JFM.
Then click on browse and choose (drive):/Jetform/Fillerg.exe for the execution file to
associate extension JFM with.
You will now be able to double click on Jetform icons within your email, view the reports on
screen, and print them.
