Well planning and drilling support
When drilling production wells, we are dealing with a fairly short (by the standards of the oil and gas industry) cycle, which includes selection and justification of targets, geosteering and post drilling model update. Right time application of modern computer models at all stages, from target selection to post drilling analysis and model update, has shown their highest efficiency at hundreds of wells where PetroTrace specialists participated in design and drilling support. We have developed an integrated workflow for cluster drilling design, optimization and support based on evergreen seismo-geological, geological. flow simulation and geomechanical models.
Optimal selection of drilling targets and risk mitigation
Designing the optimal trajectory of the horizontal section, selecting the target interval in the 3D geological model with respect to flow simulation results.
Integrated well planning
Well trajectory optimization based on information from the geological and geomechanical models.
Geosteering
Support of horizontal section drilling using synthetic logs, stratigraphic geosteering and control of the wellbore position in the seismic section.
Drilling monitoring
Real-time monitoring of the drilling process.
