ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for optimizing the treatment of a well. Initially, data from numerous sources is collected. Some of the data represents the location of objects found on a common map, e.g., rivers, towns, county lines, highways, etc. Another part of the data is data relating to a well. This data includes a wide variety of information that can be useful in determining how to treat a nearby well. This data is then integrated where it can be easily accessed by a user. Next, the user, using a geographic interface operating on a data processing system, selects a geographic region about which they are interested. The geographic interface assists the user in selecting the appropriate area. The user then uses the geographic interface to select some number of wells in the region of interest. This initial list of wells is refined by performing a SQL search of the initial list to select only the wells which have features or characteristics of interest to the user. Once a final list of wells is developed, the user can analyze the list to determine the optimal treatment for a well located proximate to the wells in the final list.
