METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DETERMINING WELL DRILLING PATHS IN A HYDROCARBON FIELD

摘要

Computing systems, computer-readable media, and methods may include determining, for a hydrocarbon field, a hazard cube that represents one or more hazards associated with drilling a new well in the hydrocarbon field. The method also includes determining one or more drilling constraints for drilling the new well in the hydrocarbon field. Further, the method includes generating a drilling volume for the hydrocarbon field. The drilling volume may comprise a three dimensional representation of one or more areas of the hydrocarbon field that may be drilled to avoid the hazards and satisfy the one or more drilling constraints. Additionally, the method includes displaying the drilling volume for analysis by a user.
