SunnyPathing is used in trajectory design for directional wells and horizontal wells and trajectory control at drilling operations. It supports various operations, including offshore drilling platforms, onshore industrial development site and single well drilling, etc.

SunnyPathing contains the following four modules:

•DataManager
•PathingDesigner
•PathingSupervisor
•Anti-Collision

DataManager

DataManager is the data management tool of SunnyPathing, which is capable of constructing offshore platform, onshore site and single wells for users in a short time.

Features:

•Similar to Windows Explorer which is easy and quick to operate;
•Convenient data import and export function;
•Complete and multi-level data structure;
•Unique rapid well construction mode for single wells.

PathingDesigner

PathingDesigner can help users efficiently complete wellbore trajectory design for various well types. In addition to providing a number of conventional design models, PathingDesigner also provides turn-azimuth with constant inclination design model and multi-target automatic design model for horizontal wells, which can greatly improve the efficiency of drilling design.

PathingSupervisor

PathingSupervisor is used for trajectory control during the drilling operation of directional and horizontal wells. It has such functions as Projection-Ahead, Lock-Target, and target entry analysis, etc

Anti-Collision

Anti-Collision is an analysis tool for wellbore anti-collision in SunnyPathing, which is capable of helping users conduct anti-collision analysis for current well with offset wells and assisting the users in performing bypassing obstacle design for wellbore trajectory and drilling operations.

Two anti-collision methods are adopted:

1、 Center-to-center distance method (CTC);
2、 Separation-factor method (SF)
