Know where the bit is headed.
Project inclination and azimuth to the bit. See left/right, above/below and whether landing VS is short or long of the plan.
FOR THE DRILLING TEAM
Know what the next stand needs.
Your well plan, surveys and slide history—connected to the tool face, slide and build rate needed to land.
For directional drillers, drilling engineers and company men.

01 / SEE IT WORK
Explore actual CurveDrill screens. Follow the next stand, compare landing options and see the path back to your plan.
Compare the plan-line and angle-only tool face options. Then review the slide/rotate footage, build rate, dog leg and projected landing VS together.
Enter bit depth and running inclination. See slide seen, slide ahead, running yield and the projected inclination and azimuth at the bit.
Compare a high, on-target or low landing. Review the dog leg, build, slide/rotate and landing VS associated with each choice.
See the planned path, your surveys, the projection to the bit and the path to landing in the same side view.
Switch to the top view to see the well path from above. Follow the surveys and projected path relative to the plan.
Enter From and To bit depths in the slide log. Review the next survey’s bit depth and sensor-adjusted survey depth, then enter inclination and azimuth.
Review the landing MD, planned landing VS and projected landing VS alongside the slide and build required.
Actual CurveDrill screens. Displayed values reflect the inputs in each screenshot; guidance changes with your well plan, surveys and slide history.
02 / LESS SEPARATE MATH
Project inclination and azimuth to the bit. See left/right, above/below and whether landing VS is short or long of the plan.
Log a slide once. Use slide seen, slide ahead and motor yield in the same workflow as the guidance for the next stand.
Import Excel, set your sensor offset and stand length, and keep multiple wells on the phone you already carry.
03 / THE FOUNDERS PLAN
Plan import, surveys, slide history and landing guidance for the people drilling the curve and the people reviewing it—on a phone, tablet or computer.
At launch, checkout will provide a license key and a link to the app.
Open CurveDrill in your browser and enter your key. Where supported, add it to your Home Screen or install it as a web app.
Import Excel, set your offset, enter your survey and review the next stand.

03 / CURVEDRILL & THE OUIJA BOARD
A basic paper or spreadsheet Ouija Board answers one geometry question at a time. CurveDrill connects that next decision to your plan, surveys, slide history and landing target.
Swipe the table to compare both columns →
| On the job | Basic Ouija BoardPaper or standalone spreadsheet | CurveDrillOn your phone |
|---|---|---|
| The next stand | One geometry answer per setup: a tool face or a change in inclination and azimuth. | Tool face, build rate, dog leg and slide needed to land. |
| Your well plan | Compare the result with your plan separately. | Import Excel plans. See left/right, above/below and landing VS short or long. |
| Projection to the bit | Work it out separately. | Built in from the last survey, slide log and running inclination. |
| Motor yield & slides | Calculate yield and keep the slide record separately. | Per-survey and running motor yield. The slide log feeds slide seen and slide ahead. |
| Tool face options | Set and read for the individual geometry question. | Two options on screen: back to the plan line, or angle and direction only. |
| Calculation method | Dog leg geometry for one step at a time. | Minimum curvature across the well, recalculated at each survey. |
| Where you use it | Paper, a spreadsheet or a laptop. | On your phone, installed like an app. Works offline once installed. |
Desktop Ouija modules within rig-site planning software can connect to a plan and slide sheet. This comparison describes a basic standalone workflow. CurveDrill brings the rig-floor part of that job to your phone.
