"Easydrill is tailor made for directional drillers. It's
accurate ,fast and simple to use. Ideal for rig floor directional
calculations, especially its anti-collision facilities. You won't
regret having Easydrill."

"I have been using the Easydrill program
for two years now. It has elevated my ability as a directional
driller to new heights. It is fast, accurate and can be used on
the rig floor at all times. Every bit of information necessary
for drilling any well is available instantly. This is especially
helpful when drilling for operators that are demanding 4,000 plus
feet per day and small horizontal targets and there is no time to
go down to a computer. All decisions have to be made at the rig
floor instantly. With this tool, it's all possible now. When the
company man asks how far you are from the line, with the punch of
a few buttons, you can tell him exactly how far away the well
bore is from the line, or from existing wells. The hydraulics
calculations are very accurate. You can put in the numbers for
the pressure drops of the motor and MWD as they actually are, as
opposed to what the manufacturer specifications are, therefore
being able to maximise hydraulic efficiency. I highly recommend
this tool for all directional drillers.
As a coordinator I want all my directional drillers to be using
this tool. It is easy and accurate to use."

"In my opinion, Easydrill will make any
directional driller a better one. It is quick, user friendly and
very well written. My favorite part of the program is the
projection aspect, with a built in Ouija board, you can calculate
your next slide and rotational intervals, see where that will put
you, then do a numerical comparison with the actual well plan.
All in a few keys strokes, and all with proven
accuracy, and the whole time this is done on a rugged HP
calculator on the drill floor. It is easy to run, and it
really works, from beginning DD's to the most experienced DD's, I
see drillers buying Easydrill whenever they see the program in
action. I suggest for anyone in this business to give this
program a try. It is well worth it"

"I've been using Easydrill since 1994.
Over the years I've used and seen various programmes run by
directional drillers on hand held programmable calculators. This
is the best directional drilling programme I've run across for a
many reasons three of which I've mentioned below:
1.The projection routines are superb. This has enabled me to
drill complex 3-D wells while staying on plan effortlessly. With
a couple of keystrokes Easydrill will pinpoint your position with
respect to the plan. You are told where you lie i.e left/right,
above /below and how many degrees you are ahead or behind on
azimuth and inclination.
2.Being ROM based the programme is virtually indestructible and
can be moved from one calculator to another: reprogramming
is not an issue.
3.It is user friendly, fast and enables quick informed decisions
to be made at critical junctures of a well.
I've not seen a more comprehensive hand held directional drilling
programme. The programme is also superior to many PC programmes
I've run. Easydrill delivers the right data in the right format
when and where needed. All the DD's I've introduced the programme
to have gone on to buy one."
