How to use Points of Interest (POI)

Points of Interest (POIs) allow you to define and track specific components along the drill string, such as the bit, stabilizers, or jars. This is especially helpful for visualizing where key tools are located during operations and for planning tool movement relative to the bottom of the string.

How it looks

The POI interface is accessed from the top navigation in WellNav. Each POI is listed by name with a distance value, showing its position relative to the bottom of the string. You can add, edit, delete, or copy POIs between plans.

Step-by-step instructions

Create a new POI

Navigate to POIs: Click on String Points of Interest in the WellNav top navigation.
Select a plan: Choose a plan from the dropdown menu.
Edit the first POI: If needed, modify the text for the first added POI (default is set to Bit).
1. Access the POI menu: Click on the More menu icon.
2. Edit and save: Click Edit, change the text as desired, and then click Save to apply the changes.
Add a new POI: Enter a name for the POI and specify its distance from the bottom of the string.
Save the new POI: Click Save to add the POI.
Repeat as needed: Continue adding POIs by repeating step 4 for each additional POI you want to include.

Edit a POI

Locate the POI: Find the POI you want to modify.
Access the POI menu: Click on the More menu icon.
Edit and save: Click Edit, change the text, and as desired, change the distance from the bottom of the string. Then, click Save to apply the changes.

Copy and paste POIs

For greater efficiency, you can copy a BHA setup from one plan to another, particularly when similar BHAs are used across multiple plans.

Locate the source plan: Find the plan that contains the Points of Interest (POIs) you want to copy.
Copy POIs: Click on the Copy icon to copy the entire POI list. This will copy the list to your clipboard.
Select the target plan: From the dropdown menu, choose the plan where you want to paste the POIs.
Paste POIs: Click on the Paste icon to insert the copied POI list into the new plan.
Modify as needed: You can now make any necessary changes to the POIs in the new plan.
