Calculating Well Spacing In Spotfire

8:42 Hours
This course introduces a practical workflow for calculating well spacing using Spotfire software, tailored specifically for drilling and completion engineers. Learners will explore how to accurately determine the three-dimensional spatial relationships between multiple wellbores, enabling better decision-making in field development planning and reservoir management. Ideal for oil & gas professionals who need to visualize and quantify wellbore positioning with precision, this course walks through techniques for data preparation, spatial analysis, and visualization within Spotfire’s powerful analytical environment.
