Reports
Drilling history of analogue wells with any hold problems, lost circulations, LOTs, casing points,
sidetracks
o Daily Drilling Reports (DDRs) or final End of Well Report
o Daily Geology Reports (DGRs)
o Daily Mud Reports (DMRs)

Mud logs or End of Wells reports can be substituted for lack of drilling histories
Any previous reports related to the geomechanical modeling, borehole and casing stability
Management Presentation regarding the prospect/target location(s)

Additional:
Surface map identifying the target, offset, and seismic velocity gather locations (stick map &
contour map)
Depositional environment and predominant lithology for each major rock unit
Anticipated formation tops, fault cuts, and unconformities
Proximity of target and offset wells to salt
Anticipated correlations from offset(s) to the target well
Paleo data/ history, if available
A minimum of 3 offset wells required for Presage model
Structure maps and or seismic cross-sections across area of interest (U sands: V sands)
