Abstract
Using a 3D-earth-model visualization as a foundation, a new information-tec hnology (IT) development strategy focuses on perceiving "drilling learning" by an intuitive method. Symbols known as "knowledge attachments" are attac hed to each wellbore trajectory displayed in the 3D environment, with each symbol indicating a specific event related to drilling operations. This rep resentation makes interdependencies between the earth model and drilling op erations evident.
