Wellbore instability is a major cause of non productive time during the drilling and completion of a well. But it can be avoided by the proper application of a Wellbore Stability Assessment (WBS)

We build a geomechanical model where geological conditions (formations, stresses, and rock strengths) are linked objectively to previous drilling experience, caliper and wireline logs.  The value of this approach is that the model is calibrated against the observed drilling and hole conditions. 

Our service determines the optimal conditions for your drilling operations, so that you can avoid costly problems, even in the most challenging downhole environments. Our proven proprietary modelling software uses a unique process to link real well behaviour to model predictions. 

• Mud weight and ECD predictions for safe drilling operations
• Well design and optimal drilling parameters and practises
• Practical advice for achieving objectives, based on our extensive experience
