Syntillica offers a wide range of services around Geomechanics The mechanical properties of geological materials is a central part of understanding and predicting the behaviours of reservoirs. The numerous practical applications of Geomechanics make it highly important in the production of hydrocarbons at different stages of field development. During exploration, optimum well trajectories can be planned by avoidance of formations liable to faulting or fracturing. During drilling, Geomechanics is essential to understand the response of formations to avoid stuck pipe problems or to predict safe mud weights based on pore pressure modelling.    Following drilling, understanding the stability of the wellbore helps to mitigate against risks of rock falling into the well over time. Top Seal analysis is essential to understand the long-term production of a reservoir against the risk faults/fractures developing as hydrocarbons are produced and pressures change and evolve over time. Our services include: ·        Stuck Pipe Assessment ·        Fault Integrity Analysis ·        Rock Failure Analysis ·        Wellbore Stability ·        Well Trajectory Planning ·        Pore Pressure Analysis ·        Top Seal Integrity Analysis ·        Mud Weight and Losses Assessment Please contact us if we can help. https://lnkd.in/e8J9-iBv #oilandgas #energy #consulting

easy way to understand how MWD works

MWD stands for Measurement While Drilling. It's a tool used in drilling operations to provide real-time data about the wellbore while drilling is ongoing. MWD tools measure various parameters such as drilling direction, inclination, toolface orientation, and other drilling dynamics. This data helps drillers navigate the drill bit accurately, optimize drilling performance, and ensure the well is drilled safely and efficiently.

"Excellent course on fundamental understanding of Geomechanics and the trainer is knowledgeable of the subject." - Drilling Engineer, JX Nippon Oil & Gas This 5-day course provides an advanced level of understanding of the geomechanical factors that affect wellbore and reservoir instability. The course is structured such that upon completion, the participants will have understood the value that geomechanics can bring to drilling, completion and production operations and will be able to leverage this value wherever it applies. The course emphasis will be on integrating the topics presented through a combination of lectures, case-studies and hands-on exercises. A special focus will be on how geomechanics knowledge is extracted from routinely acquired well data and how it is applied in the prediction and prevention of instability throughout life-of-field.

A blowout preventer, or BOP, is installed on top of the wellhead before the drilling of the well begins. It usually consists of an annular preventer, blind ram, blind shear ram, and pipe ram. Its function is to seal off the wellbore to contain erratic down-hole pressures called “kicks” and the uncontrolled flow of formation fluids.

#SUBSEA_DRILLING AND #EXPLORATION Subsea drilling and exploration is the process of drilling, exploring and producing oil and gas from beneath the ocean floor. This process involves drilling through the seabed and extracting hydrocarbons from oil and gas reservoirs located thousands of feet beneath the seafloor. The subsea drilling and exploration industry employs various advanced technologies, including deepwater drilling, underwater robots, and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), to access these reservoirs. The process begins with the identification of a prospective area for drilling, followed by seismic surveys to map the subsurface geology and locate the hydrocarbons. Once a potential site has been identified, drilling begins with a drilling rig placed on a floating platform, or a drilling platform or rig that is anchored onto the seabed. Subsea exploration faces several challenges, including harsh ocean conditions, extreme water pressure, and working at depths of up to 10,000 feet. To overcome these challenges, specialized equipment and personnel are required, and safety is always of top concern. Despite the challenges, subsea drilling and exploration is a critical aspect of the oil and gas industry and is essential for meeting the global demand for energy. With the discovery of new oil and gas sources and advances in subsea technology, subsea drilling and exploration will continue to be an important activity in the oil and gas industry for many years to come.

Hello Everyone and thank you for joining us weekly during our live Wed(NSI)days! This week we are excited to welcome guest speakers Shawn Lu & Frank Zamora with Premier Corex . Shawn and Frank will be sharing a presentation focused on the complex interactions of shale organic matter with non-aqueous drilling fluids and the implications this may have on our well performance. As non-aqueous drilling fluids provide shale stability, the interaction with the organic matter may play a critical role in solid degradation and solid control. Core samples from U.S. shale plays with various amounts of total organic carbon (TOC) were selected for a laboratory study. The formation samples were ground to fine particle size to investigate the effect of the interaction between fine solids with both synthetic paraffin (GTL) based mud (SBM), and diesel oil based mud (OBM). The high solids recovery measured using the SBM system is interpreted to be attributed to the very low interaction of the SBM with organic matter and/or clay cuttings particles from the formation. The extremely small organic matter and/or clay particles are unable to be removed by the solids control system and remain suspended to circulate and build up in the borehole. The study results suggest the use of SBM helps prevent the disintegration of cuttings thus maintaining the properties of the drilling fluid system. Join us this week in welcoming a new guest speaker and to participate in what is sure to be a great discussion!

🤔 Ever wondered how #oilandgas drilling tackle lost circulation? #LostCirculation is a common obstacle, occurring when drilling fluid escapes into fractured formations, jeopardizing the process. Indications include halted fluid flow, increased string weight, or pump speed surges. Solutions include maintaining #downholepressure and conducting #integritytests. Reinforcement with casing and cement is crucial as drilling delves deeper. With innovative strategies, lost circulation becomes manageable, ensuring smooth and safe operations. #4dgeosteering #OilAndGas #Drilling #LostCirculation #EnergyIndustry #Engineering #Innovation #Challenges
