Oilfield Geomechanics

Geomechanics services to optimise drilling and completion operations

STRENGTH AT DEPTH

Our services deliver operationally focused solutions for you to succeed

With a combined industry experience of over 180 years working for more than 80 different clients, our services deliver operationally focused solutions throughout the lifecycle of the asset.

We provide solutions to minimise geomechanical risk from discovery/exploration to abandonment of the asset and have saved our clients $millions by reducing non-productive time (NPT).

Our specialist services are operationally focused, using geomechanical models constructed and calibrated to the most relevant offset well data and drilling experience. We have undertaken more than 1000 studies globally during the last 30 years, using data from over 8500 offset wells.

SERVICES

WELLBORE STABILITY
ASSESSMENT

A Wellbore Stability Assessment determines the optimal conditions for your drilling operations to avoid costly problems, even in the most challenging downhole environments.

IN-SITU STRESS
ASSESSMENT

Knowledge of the stress field is an essential input into most geomechanical assessments. We access the local and regional stress field by integrating data from drilling, logging, testing and production, at both the wellbore and the field scale.

CARBON CAPTURE & STORAGE (CCS)

Carbon Capture and Storage projects aim to store captured CO2 in the subsurface. It is vital that there is a good understanding of the storage area, and how it will react to the injection of CO2.

COMPACTION & SUBSIDENCE

Our service provides compaction, subsidence, strain and tilt estimates for planned depletion schedules, for initial production or end of life blowdown scenarios.

PORE PRESSURE PREDICTON

Our service will conduct a pore pressure profile of your geological sequence by identifying any abnormal pressures using offset well drilling and log data.

REAL TIME SUPPORT

Linking operations and drilling
parameters with geomechanical
conditions, our daily assessments
will provide you with solutions
quickly should problems occur.

SAND PRODUCTION ASSESSMENT

By establishing critical limits to your production parameters under different depletion and drawdown combinations, our assessments enable you to make key decisions about completion types, well head equipment and production schedules.

DECOMMISSIONING & ABANDONMENT

Using field and well data, we provide optimised decommissioning solutions for the efficient and safe abandonment of oil and gas wells while mitigating environmental risks and the potential impact of abandoned wells.

GEOMECHANICS TRAINING

We offer one and two day Wellbore Stability Awareness courses to explain how well behaviour during drilling can be influenced by geomechanical processes and the consequences of failing to account for them during well planning.

The challenges and rewards of faulted and fractured formations

Drilling problems associated with faults may vary from minor erratic torque up to severe overpull and stuck bottom hole assemblies.
