Plan to TD.Faster and dead on.

The next generation of well planning.

Easier to use, with a modern interface, on the same proven methods the industry already plans by. Everything you reach for every day is here, plus tools that are Touchdown's own. New planners get up to speed quickly. Experienced ones get there faster.

Built and tested with working well planners and directional drillers.

A Touchdown plan sheet for an example well: vertical section, plan view, target and section tables.

Simple enough for your newest planner. Complete enough for your best.

New to well planning

Type the plan the way you would say it. Touchdown shows what it understood and what is still missing before it draws a line. Every suggestion comes with the reasoning behind it, so you learn the well as you plan it.

Planned wells for years

The methods you already trust and the sheet layout your customers already read, with fewer clicks between the idea and the plot. Sidetracks, offsets, anti-collision and plan vs actual are where you expect them.

What it does

01

Draft a plan from a sentence

Type it the way you would say it. Touchdown shows what it heard and what is missing, then draws the plan.

Typed into TouchdownLand at 9,000 ft TVD with a 10°/100 curve. 9,500 ft lateral at 346°.

02

Sheets your customers already read

Wall plots and printed plans in the layout COMPASS and Well Seeker users recognise. 24 × 36, 36 × 48 and letter.

03

Planner and driller in one place

Plan and Drill sit one tap apart on the same well. The driller works from the plan the planner drew.

04

Customer approval, on file

Record who approved the plan and when. The approval stays with the plan and prints on the sheet, for your tracking and your records.

05

The plat comes with the job

The surface plat comes in from the Roughneck suite, so the plan starts from the customer's own sheet.

06

Steer from a phone

The next stand, the surveys and the slide instruction, in the driller's hand.

Checks passed in the current release, against the public ISCWSA test wells, error model workbooks and clearance set. A failed check stops the release.

Minimum curvature

The industry's standard survey calculation, for plans and for surveys. Positions match a second, independent library on the ISCWSA wells.

ISCWSA error model

Position uncertainty and separation factors on the ISCWSA model, checked against ISCWSA's own example workbooks at every station.

Checked on real wells

Run on real wells and checked by directional drilling professionals.

Everything you use every day. Plus tools that are Touchdown's own.

The next stand, worked out

A slide and rotate suggestion from this well's own surveys and slides, with what it rests on shown beside it. The directional driller decides.

A plan from one sentence

From a landing depth and a lateral length to a drawn plan, without filling a form first.

Approval kept with the plan

A place to record the customer's approval on every plan, so the record is there when someone asks.

Surveys from a PDF

Drop a survey report on the well. Touchdown reads the stations in.

Windows, Mac and phone. Keeps working with no signal.
