Smarter, Faster, and More Intuitive Than Ever - What’s New in WellDesign®

We’ve rolled out a fresh set of updates to Oliasoft WellDesign®, and they’re all about these exact principles: helping you work more efficiently and design better wells.

Here’s a quick look at what’s new:

Smarter Casing & Tubing Design

Plan for more scenarios with pore pressure overrides and apply Thermal loads to nested liners, — so your designs reflect real-world complexity, without the guesswork.

Easier, Clearer Trajectory Planning

You can now define boundaries like lease lines or pipelines directly on your site map, work more smoothly with split-screen views, and get faster well setup with fewer clicks.

Safer Simulations in Blowout & Kill

We’ve made gas flow modeling more accurate, added clearer reservoir visuals, and improved relief well flexibility — all designed to support critical decision-making in high-stakes situations.

Better Data Flow, Less Manual Work

• Inherit casing and cement data from parent wells with Mother Well Import
• Standardize cement inputs with Excel import/export
• Enjoy smoother uploads and validations in the BHA Module

A Few More Goodies

• Improved performance on large simulations
• Cleaner hydrocarbon selection menus
• Instant error feedback to keep things on track

Everything in this release is based on feedback from users like you — so thank you for continuing to shape the future of well planning with us.
