Abstract:
Provided in some embodiments are systems and methods for simulating a well. Embodiments include, for each lateral of a well, obtaining wellbore directional survey data identifying a path of the lateral, generating (using the wellbore directional survey data) a geographic information system (GIS) virtual wellbore path, obtaining wellbore tubing, perforation and casing data for the lateral. Generating (using the wellbore tubing and perforation data) a tubing extensible three dimensional (X3D) file including data corresponding to X3D virtual tubing path. Generating (using the wellbore casing data) a casing X3D file including data corresponding to an X3D virtual casing path for the lateral. Generating a well X3D file for the well (including links to the tubing and casing X3D files) that can be provided to an X3D application of a remote computing device for generating a 3D simulation of the well.
