OILFIELD DIRECTIONAL DRILLING SOFTWARE

Measuring the inclination of a wellbore (its deviation from the vertical) is comparatively simple, requiring only a pendulum. Horizontal directional drill rigs are developing towards large-scale, micro-miniaturization, mechanical automation, hard stratum working, exceeding length and depth oriented monitored drilling. Initially, proxy evidence such as production changes in other wells was accepted, but such cases fueled the development of small diameter tools capable of surveying wells during drilling. This realization was quite slow, and did not really grasp the attention of the oil industry until the late 1920s when there were several lawsuits alleging that wells drilled from a rig on one property had crossed the boundary and were penetrating a reservoir on an adjacent property. Probably, the first requirement was the realization that oil wells, or water wells, do not necessarily need to be vertical. Many prerequisites enabled this suite of technologies to become productive. It can be broken down into four main groups: oilfield directional drilling, utility installation directional drilling, directional boring (horizontal directional drilling - HDD), and surface in seam (SIS), which horizontally intersects a vertical bore target to extract coal bed methane. Directional drilling would be used to target the gas and oil reservoir.ĭirectional drilling (or slant drilling) is the practice of drilling non-vertical bores. Because gas floats above oil, the thin red contour line marks the gas/oil contact zone. The thin red circular contour line in the middle of the map indicates the top of the oil reservoir.

This fault line is between the blue/green contour lines and the purple/red/yellow contour lines. The left-to-right gap, near the top of the contour map indicates a fault line.

We can leverage the entire depth of expertise within our organization during any drilling project.A structure map generated by contour map software for an 8,500-foot-deep (2,600 m) gas and oil reservoir in the Erath field, Vermilion Parish, Erath, Louisiana. Phoenix project coordinators perform pre-job planning procedures that include: providing field personnel in-depth direction as to the drilling program and liaise with the rig site personnel to ensure our proposals integrate with the planned drilling program. During operations, the field personnel receive ongoing support with our state-of-the-art real-time remote monitoring. They leverage our vast database of offset data to determine the best BHA’s and most experienced personnel for each well. Our project coordinators collaborate with our optimization specialists and survey management experts to design a drilling program that will maximize wellsite performance. Torque and drag comparisons in conjunction with our optimization services We are available for planning and revisions 24/7.Īnti-collision analysis: separation factor, center-to-center and travelling cylinder Our team of full‐time, in-house well planners have comprehensive experience and technical expertise that allows them to generate strategic and cost‐effective drilling solutions.
