Well costs in seconds, not days
WellOptima AI turns a drilling-cost planning spreadsheet into a live web app that estimates well cost and duration in real time, and tracks actuals against plan.

AThe problem
Well cost planning lived in a large engineering workbook. It was accurate, but a new scenario took days of manual work, and comparing plan against what was actually happening on the rig meant another spreadsheet.
BWhat we did
- Ported the workbook’s calculation engine to code one-to-one, then verified it against the workbook until the totals matched exactly.
- Designed the interface around one chart with four modes — depth–time, depth–cost, time + cost and trajectory — with phase bands, casing shoes and a zoom brush.
- Added live real-time drilling feeds as an “actual” curve over the plan, so drift shows up while there is still time to act.
- Added the working tools engineers asked for: burn rate, cost per metre by section, side-by-side comparison of three configurations, and Excel export.
