Industry Article Future Offshore Well Construction to be Defined by Collaboration, Remote Solutions
How advanced remote operations and autonomous systems are shaping the future of well construction.
Well construction brings workflows together to seamlessly bridge the gap between drilling and completions. We put the right information in the right hands at the right time so we can deliver a smart drilling program that maximizes accuracy, efficiency, and value—while also minimizing risks.
We develop a digital plan for intelligent drilling execution that enables efficient handoff to a digitally informed completion team for optimal hardware and fluids delivery to prepare the wellbore and the reservoir for production. The integrated preparation and analysis mean that, when challenges arise, contingencies are in place to maintain project progress and continuously improve the process from well to well.
Well construction means integrating activities, processes, people, and technology; monitoring deviations; and providing solutions that allow for dynamic changes to the plan and improving learning for the next time.
Confidently reenter existing wells to add laterals that increase reserves while minimizing investment.
Prepare selective access and multiple kickoff points for current and future sidetracks and multilateral wellbores.
Save time on your completion by enabling fracturing in both the lateral bore and main bore in a single trip.
Reduce costs with multilateral technology that is compatible with conventional completion options.
Isolate up to 2,500 psi [17.2 MPa] at the junction, and combine simple installation with flexibility.
Maximize performance with a reliable, modular large-bore junction.
Enable rigless through-tubing intervention (access or isolation) in multilateral wells.
Enhance well stability and protect the casing with liner hanger systems that suit a wide range of well conditions.
Deploy heavy and long liners in drilldown applications, even in deep land, deepwater, and HPHT wells, to save time and enable rotation.
Run long and heavy liners with confidence, even in HPHT conditions, with or without liner rotation during running or cementing.
Reduce remediation costs in damaged thermal wells with a scab liner hanger designed to simplify and optimize repairs.
Reduce remediation costs in damaged thermal wells with a scab liner hanger designed to simplify repairs and optimize cementing.
Deploy long, heavy liners in challenging conditions, including deepwater, extended-reach, and HPHT wells, with expandable, metal-to-metal sealing for the life of the well.
Simplify casing repairs to keep drilling programs on schedule and secure well integrity for P&A.
Drill in, rotate, and reciprocate long, heavy liners in HPHT wells while maintaining maximum liner top integrity.
Solve problems with long casing strings by connecting a liner to a tieback string with full V0-qualified casing integrity.
Use conventional liner hanger systems with heavier axial loads by deploying an anchor that manages the loads.
