METHOD AND APPARATUS AND PROGRAM STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING AN INTEGRATED WELL PLANNING WORKFLOW CONTROL SYSTEM WITH PROCESS DEPENDENCIES

摘要

A Single Well Predictive Model (SWPM) software based computer system stores SWPM software therein that, when executed (1) automatically produces a first specific workflow comprised of a first plurality of software modules in response to a first set of user objectives and executes the first specific workflow in response to a first set of input data to produce a first desired product, and (2) automatically produces a second specific workflow comprised of a second plurality of software modules in response to a second set of user objectives and executes the second specific workflow in response to a second set of input data to produce a second desired product. A method of well planning utilizing the SWPM software involves the steps of. selecting one or more tasks in a task manager; verifying by a task dependency a proper order of the one or more tasks; retrieving by the task manager from a task base one or more sets of instructions associated with the one or more tasks selected in the task manager and verified by the task dependency; retrieving by the task manager from an access manager one or more sets of input data associated with the one or more sets of instructions retrieved by the task manager from the task base; verifying that each set of input data of the one or more sets of input data retrieved by the task manager from the access manager is received by a corresponding one of the one or more sets of instructions retrieved by the task manager from the task base; executing, by the task manager, the one or more sets of instructions and using, by the task manager, the one or more sets of input data during the executing step thereby generating a set of results; and recording or displaying, by a task view base, the set of results on a recorder or display device.
