NWE WellReport™ · Reporting
Every tour, the numbers already exist — hours, footage, surveys, the BHA, the costs. NWE WellReport turns that run data into the daily drilling report, the BHA and motor reports, the daily revenue, and a polished 5 AM morning email. The directional driller types only what no system knows.
The 5 AM problem
The daily drilling report should take five minutes. Instead it eats the first hour of every tour.
The standard workflow: surveys live in one system, the BHA record in another, costs in a spreadsheet — and every morning the directional driller copies all of it, by hand, into a Word template, pastes it into an email, attaches the files, and sends it to the distribution list before 6 AM. Every retype is another chance for the report, the surveys, and the invoice to drift apart.
And that email matters. The morning report is the drilling company's daily billboard — the one document the whole operation sees from the crew, every single day. NWE WellReport generates it from the run data instead, so it goes out accurate, branded, and on time.
From run data to report
The report is an output, not a task.The Surveys/Time Breakdown Sheet interleaves activities and surveys as the tour runs. Hours, footage, ROP, and operation comments are calculated as the entries land — so by 5 AM the daily drilling report is already written, and the DD's job is review, not assembly.
Activities and surveys go in as the tour happens — slide and rotate entries with their parameters, surveys accepted into the one survey ledger. Nothing is entered twice, and nothing waits for the morning.
The daily drilling report, the per-run BHA Report and Motor Report, daily costs and revenue from the price book, and the survey exports all generate from that single record. The report the office reads, the invoice the customer sees, and the end-of-well roll-up can never tell three different stories.
The morning workflow
Activities, parameters, and surveys are entered once as the work happens — the sheet calculates hours, footage, and ROP as it goes.
The activity log drafts the operations summary, directional performance, and operation comments from the run data and QC flags.
The DD types only what no system knows — tour notes, the next tour's plan, final review — and can override any auto-filled value.
A branded morning email with an automatic subject line goes to the stored distribution list, with the report files and survey exports attached.
Deliverables
Type only what no system knows.
Every document below comes off the same run data — and every auto-filled field is a suggestion the DD can override, with one click back to the automatic value.
One run record · every deliverableWhere it stands
Working directional drillers are testing it today.NWE WellReport is in founding field testing ahead of its production release — testers run the demo well end to end and put the reporting workflow through real tours. Founding tester seats are open until October 25.
Honest about the feed.Today, surveys import from the exports of the system you already run — including WITS file imports with accept/reject review — and that system stays your system of record until NWE WellReport has proven itself on your well. Live EDR/WITS ingestion is a production direction, being built with the production backend. We will not claim it until a real feed is proven.
Common questions
Daily drilling report software produces the daily drilling report and the morning reporting package from the day's operational data — the activity and time breakdown, footage, surveys, BHA details, and costs — instead of the directional driller retyping those numbers into a template. In NWE WellReport, the report is generated from the run data the crew already entered once, and the directional driller reviews it rather than rebuilding it.
The morning report is a retype problem: hours, footage, surveys, BHA details, and costs get copied from three tools into a template. NWE WellReport generates the report from the run data — the activity breakdown, slide and rotation footage, surveys, BHA, and daily revenue all flow into the Daily Drilling Report, the BHA report, and a branded morning email with an automatic subject line. The directional driller types only what no system knows: tour notes, the next tour's plan, and final review. Five-minute mornings.
Only what no system knows: tour notes, the next tour's plan, and final review. Hours, footage, ROP, operation comments, surveys, and costs are generated from the run data — and every auto-filled field stays overridable, with a one-click way back to the automatic value. Auto-fill is a suggestion; the directional driller always has the last word.
Yes. Each BHA run closes with its own BHA Report and Motor Report, and the daily drilling report carries the day's costs and daily revenue from the job's price book — so the report package, the billing picture, and the end-of-well roll-up all read the same numbers.
Yes. Import your survey exports from any system you run — including WITS file imports with accept/reject review in the Survey Editor — and NWE WellReport becomes the single, versioned home for the well's surveys. Your current software stays your system of record until NWE WellReport has proven itself on your well.
