Bit pretentious postic with a title, we can all do it mate, but some of
us aren't peacocks, we are REAL engineers.

There exist computerised tools that do just as you ask:
DIMS ... a comprehensive rig and office-based data collection app
which has capabilities useful to planning engineers, ops types and
contractors.
It even does the morning report. :-)
WELLPLAN ... an engineering suite of planning and operational analysis
apps ranging
from hydrualics to well control to drill string mechanics. All
integrated -- same set
of editors, same set of catalogs, ability to pull from DIMS, etc.
COMPASS ... a set of directional apps covering directional planning,
survey collection
and analysis and anti-collision monitoring. Structured to be useful
to operators _and_
directional companies AND integegrated with DIMS and WELLPLAN
Profile ... a wellbore visualization tool (well sketch). Integrated
with DIMS.
The tools exist. The well operations data model exists and is
commercially supported.
The problem seems to be one of awareness.
