Kicking off 2025 with a Powerful Well Engineering Release

As a drilling engineer turned product manager, I’ve seen first hand how complex and high-stakes well design can be. That’s why I am thrilled to introduce our first release of 2025.  A release packed with powerful new features designed to streamline workflows, boost accuracy, and empower engineers to tackle even the most complex challenges with confidence.  

Customers are at the heart of our product development. So whether you are optimizing drilling parameters, enhancing wellbore stability, or improving equipment selection, these innovations are here to help you work smarter, faster, and safer.  

Exceptional value can be unlocked by enhancing well operations with cutting-edge well design solutions, paving the way for a truly digital future of well construction with model update in minutes.

So, what’s New? 

Torque & Drag Module: Delivers precise stress and True Tension calculations, alongside enhanced flow simulations, enabling engineers to optimize drilling parameters and minimize operational risks.

3D Fly-by mode for better visualization and understanding of the well path.  

Improved editing of Drillers Target. As a Welldesign user in Trajectory you are now able to move your Drillers Targets in the 3D view simply by pulling it using the “Object Edit Controller”. 

Blowout & Kill Module: Faster, more accurate kill simulations for safer, more efficient operations. 

These upgrades aren’t just incremental improvements—they are game changers for building the digital well of the future. Built on user feedback and our commitment to innovation, we at Oliasoft continue to develop a complete well design software that is integrative, trusted and empowering engineers to achieve more with less. 

We are not just building software—we’re solving real-world drilling challenges.
