WhipSim ® Sidetrack Simulation Software

WhipSim® software is a proprietary engineering tool built around two capabilities that set it apart. First, it calculates the equivalent dog-leg severity that every individual component of the pass-through directional BHA and completion string will experience as it transits the window. Second, it models the specific window geometry produced for each job rather than relying on generic tables or simplified assumptions.

Both outputs are well-specific. Window geometry and per-component DLS change with the inclination, dog-leg severity, and orientation at which the whipstock is set, and with the configuration of the system selected. WhipSim software captures these variables directly, so engineering teams see the actual geometry and the actual dog-leg severity each component will face—not an approximation.

By predicting window profile, milling performance, and per-component DLS, WhipSim software lets engineering teams optimize whipstock and mill selection, confirm that the directional BHA and completion tubulars can pass through the window, and build a sidetrack plan grounded in analysis rather than assumption. Run during the pre-job engineering phase, it surfaces challenges before operations begin and reduces uncertainty across the departure.

WhipSim software adds a dedicated layer of modeling and analysis to the WIS whipstock portfolio. By combining window-specific geometry, component-level DLS calculation, and predictive simulation with field-proven departure expertise, operators move through the casing exit process with greater control, consistency, and confidence.
