Founded in 2011, PROTOTYPE Well Planning is an independent directional well planning and engineering company supporting operators and drilling contractors across North America and internationally. We specialize in turning complex drilling objectives into practical, technically sound well designs built for execution. From preliminary concepts and feasibility through final well planning and ongoing operational support, we remain engaged as projects evolve from design to TD. Our capabilities include: • Directional well planning and trajectory optimization • Anti-collision engineering, separation factor analysis, and traveling cylinders • Torque & drag analysis, feasibility studies, and sensitivity modeling • Preliminary well design and complex trajectory feasibility • Permit well planning and lease boundary compliance • Real-time trajectory revisions, target updates, projections, and PVAs • Sidetracks, U-turn laterals, extended-reach wells, and complex multi-well developments • Custom engineering and technical support throughout execution Our experience spans nearly every major U.S. basin, offshore Gulf of America and inland barge operations, as well as international developments. At PROTOTYPE, well planning does not end when the plan is approved. We work alongside drilling teams throughout execution, providing responsive engineering support as conditions, targets, and operational requirements change. Whether supporting a single development well or a technically demanding multi-well program, our objective remains the same: deliver well designs that are practical to drill, engineered to manage risk, and built to be executed with confidence. WELL PLANNED. WELL EXECUTED.
