Top-Hole Challenges
Creating a stable foundation for the rest of the well.
Top-hole operations can be unpredictable. Shallow flow zones, weak formations, and strict environmental requirements are a few of the challenges to be addressed. Operators must balance safety, operational progress and sustainability— without adding rig time.
Pressure Management Challenges
Staying within the window – for all operations.
As drilling progresses with more challenging wells, staying within the operating window becomes more challenging. Lost circulation and influxes are ensuing risks. Operators seek reliable ways to manage bottomhole pressure dynamically, ensuring safety and optimize operations.
Deepwater & Ultra-Deepwater Challenges
Increased risk. Increased complexity. Increased need for control.
In deepwater operations the narrow pressure windows throughout the well require frequent casing and liner runs, introducing new layers of complexity. Operators and rig companies need systems mimicking dual gradient effects for simplified well architecture, enabling accurate and continuous monitoring, and safeguards well integrity under challenging drilling environments.
Environmental & Regulatory Challenges
Meeting targets while reducing footprint.
Sustainability expectations are rising. Regulators and operators alike demand cleaner operations with reduced waste, and less emissions. The challenge is to maintain high performance while lowering environmental impact. Our technologies help meet ESG goals—while improving operational efficiency.
Well Completion Challenges
Finishing strong – safely and productively.
Once drilling is done, the well is transitioned for production. This phase requires attention to formation damage, reducing risk with less formation exposure time, and a completion approach generating high production rates. With increasingly depleted or narrow-window zones, completion engineers rely on technologies ensuring well stability and maximizing production through improved completion.
