aide.lite is a fast, friendly tool to rough out a well — trajectory, rig, casing, bit, mud, drilling, cementing — and put a cost and a timeline on it.
Industrial well-design packages are powerful but heavy: overloaded workflows, steep learning curves, a high price in time and money — aide.lite does the opposite: the first 80% of a well design in minutes, not weeks, and for just $29.99 a month.
What aide.lite is — and isn't
- A quick way to prototype a well and pressure-test the concept
- Not a replacement for a full well-design platform
- Built around convenience — minimal clicks, instant feedback
- Not a months-to-learn tool with a wall of settings
- A draft you hand over as a report and finish in your heavyweight suite
- Not a system that locks your data behind a server
