Hydraulics & Drill String Mechanics

In conjunction with our Trajectory Modelling and Optimisation, we can refine Well Designs that may be reaching the limits of rig capability or downhole environment boundaries, such as fracture gradient.

 

At these extremes, it becomes critical to fine tune your Well Design to balance well control and borehole stability mud weight requirements, trip margins, ECD and fracture limitations.

 

A close look at these conflicting requirements can result in the optimisation of the drill-string design, hole size selection, mud weight requirements and hydraulics plan; giving your well the best chance of success. The optimisation reduces the risk of stuck pipe, minimises formation damage and maintains well integrity, ensuring safe and efficient execution at the well site.
