Water wells are the primary source of water used in various petroleum engineering operations and hence, play an important role in the oil and gas industry. In the spirit of digital transformation, GWater, an automated platform, developed in-house, fulfilled the need for a streamlined workflow that improves efficiency, reduces heavy human involvement, and removes the subjectivity in the traditional approach to the water well drilling requirements estimation process. The platform removes the human subjectivity in the estimation of geological, hydrological, geochemical, and completion parameters of water wells ahead of drilling. The product guides the drilling crew on the possible locations for coring, casing, and target aquifers. The huge time saving could be channeled to more intensive tasks associated with providing more support to the field and laboratory personnel. The novelty in the methodology employed in the development of this product has generated a couple of intellectual properties and has huge potential for commercialization.
