Horizontal Well Planning from Simple Heel-Toe Locations
An onshore group had a busy rig schedule for their large drilling program and needed to find ways to save time when going from a prospect to a producing well. Specifically, the group was challenged with streamlining how to quickly turn prospective well locations drawn on a map, into viable well design plans for the drilling department.
Oil Reservoir Compaction; Risk Reduction for Drilling Infill Wells
During production, North Sea chalk reservoirs are commonly prone to severe compaction due to reduction in pore pressure—this increases the load on the rock matrix, resulting in compaction. In some extreme cases the result is seabed subsidence on the order of 10 meters. This magnitude of subsidence causes challenges to the existing production infrastructure, including the integrity of the drilled wells, and leads to geomechanical changes in the subsurface which can impact seismic travel times.
InSAR Data Analysis of the Belridge Field
Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is a powerful remote sensing technique that produces a very detailed picture of the shape of the ground surface. The data returned are so precise that they can reveal changes in the elevation of the earth down to the level of millimeters per day, enabling very small changes in surface elevations to be quickly discovered, which can be critical to land management.
Reservoir Simulation Ensemble Analysis via CoViz 4D Visualization and Jupyter Notebook Calculations
Dynamic Graphics provides powerful, interactive functionality to simplify software usage, but it has always recognized the need to prevent the limitations of a “black box” environment, allowing for the extension and customization of the tools by providing users with access to the underlying modular functionality. This enables clients to build their own solutions for precise problem solving, analysis, and 4D visualization without having to navigate the existing buttons and toolbars
