WELLBORE STABILITY ASSESSMENT
Wellbore instability can be a major cause of non-productive time (NPT) during the drilling and completion of a well. With wells becoming ever more challenging, tight hole, cavings, packoffs and losses can compromise successful well delivery but they can be avoided by the proper application of a Wellbore Stability Assessment.
Geomechanical models are developed using our proven proprietary software integrate data from the most relevant offset wells which are then rigorously calibrated against the observed well behaviour.
Our service is operationally focused to determine the optimum drilling window, identifying and mitigating risk to enable the safe drilling and completion of your well.
Optimum Drilling Performance
Reservoirs are becoming increasingly technically demanding to reach. The results from our rigorous proven methodology give you the confidence and the knowledge to undertake drilling in challenging conditions such as:
-
ERD
-
Salt
-
Faults & fractures
-
HPHT
-
MPD
-
Highly depleted reservoirs
-
Complex geometries
-
Overpressured formations
-
Close to CRI operations
-
Deep water
We can help you understand and anticipate geomechanical issues to enable mitigation planning and ensure optimum drilling performance, minimising the risk to delivering your well.
Defining the Optimum Mud Weight Window
Our results are rigorously calibrated to your data and offset well experience using our unique methodology to avoid NPT, minimise risk and optimise drilling performance.
Our wellbore stability services:
-
Are bespoke and use your well data
-
Combine data from all oilfield disciplines
-
Provide operationally focussed results
-
Ensure support throughout planning,
-
drilling and completion of your well
We will work with you to define the optimum mud weight to enable successful well delivery.
