01
Review
We review the well data, the offset wells, and the current program.
Deliverables
- Design basis review
- Risk and contingency list
Service line
Completions engineering consulting from engineers who have run the operation.
Completions engineering consulting, well engineering, operational support, and project management for energy operators, led by engineers with two decades in deepwater and HPHT wells.
Problems we are called in for
Where a second opinion saves rig time.
-
An HPHT completion needs an independent design review
The program is heading for sign off, and nobody who has run a comparable job has checked the completion design. We review the design basis, equipment ratings, and load cases against the well conditions.
-
A gravel pack has to work the first time
Sand control completions leave little room for a second attempt. We support the design, the job procedures, and the execution at the wellsite or from the office.
-
The program is short of experienced completions supervision
Rig time is committed, and the team needs a completions engineer who has done the work in deepwater. We provide operational support for the duration of the program.
-
Several service companies need one coordinator
Completion equipment, fluids, and services arrive from different contractors on different schedules. We manage the completion scope as a project, from planning through close out.
What we deliver
Work your wells team can run the job from.
- Completion design basis review
- Well conditions, equipment ratings, and load cases checked against the design, with findings ranked by consequence.
- Completion program and procedures
- Step by step procedures for the job, with hold points, contingencies, and acceptance criteria.
- Equipment and fluids specification
- Completion equipment and fluids checked against the pressure, temperature, and sand control requirements of the well.
- Wellsite and office support
- An engineer on the job or on call during execution, reporting daily against the program.
- End of well report
- What was run, what happened, and what the next well should do differently.
How we work
From design review to close out.
Each stage ends with documents your wells team keeps. Timing follows your well program and rig schedule.
-
- 02
Plan
We write or check the completion program and procedures with your team.
Deliverables
- Completion program
- Job procedures
- Equipment and fluids specification
- 03
Execute
We support the job at the wellsite or from the office, against the agreed program.
Deliverables
- Daily reports
- Record of deviations from the program
- 04
Close out
We record what happened and hand the results to your wells and production teams.
Deliverables
- End of well report
- Lessons learned for the next well
Standards and tooling
The API and ISO references we work to.
Naming a standard means we use it as a reference on the well program. It is not a claim of certification against it.
| Reference | What it covers | How we use it |
|---|---|---|
| ISO 16530-1 | Well integrity through the well life cycle | Barrier philosophy in design reviews |
| API RP 96 | Deepwater well design and construction | Design checks on deepwater completions |
| API Std 65-2 | Isolating potential flow zones during well construction | Zonal isolation checks before the completion is run |
| ISO 14310 (API Spec 11D1) | Packers and bridge plugs | Packer selection and validation grade |
| ISO 10432 (API Spec 14A) | Subsurface safety valve equipment | Safety valve specification |
| ISO 13503-2 (API RP 19C) | Proppants and gravel pack sand | Gravel pack sand selection and quality checks |
| IWCF well control | Well control certification for personnel | Reference for wellsite well control competence |
Procurement questions
What your wells team will ask before the first call.
Which wells and operations do you cover?
Completions and well engineering in deepwater, high pressure high temperature, and gravel pack operations. Those are the environments our engineers have worked in.
Who leads the work?
Engineers with two decades of field experience in deepwater and high pressure high temperature well operations.
Which standards do you reference?
API and ISO well integrity and completion equipment standards, including ISO 16530-1, API RP 96, ISO 14310, and ISO 10432. Naming a standard is not a claim of certification against it.
Bring us the program your team is worried about.
A senior engineer replies within one business day. The first call is a technical conversation, not a sales presentation.
