Drilling Engineering

• Well design.
• Drilling and workover program writing.
• Preparation of permit applications to submit to regulatory agencies.
• Interface with regulatory agencies to obtain approvals on applications.
• Supervision of the preparation and submission of well completion reports.
• Analysis of available data to determine the most efficient drilling practices.
• Development of less expensive, more efficient drilling practices.
• Preparation of cost estimates for drilling and remedial work.
• Assistance in selecting cost-effective methods and vendors.
• Maintenance of appropriate well records.
• Review of daily drilling reports.
• Review of ongoing operations with the drilling supervisors.

Drilling Supervision

• Coordination of the efforts of all service companies.
• Preparation of daily drilling reports for your management’s review.
• On-site supervision of all critical operations.
• Use available equipment in the most efficient manner to maximize the rate of penetration.
• Balance all drilling variables to maintain the maximum rate of penetration.
• Gather input from service companies and your management to determine the most appropriate course of action.
• Make recommendations concerning all major decisions in drilling operations.
• Make recommendations to your management concerning drilling engineering decisions.

Drilling Training

• Plan and schedule training required by regulatory agencies or your company.
• Contract for geothermal well control school for all contract and client personnel.
• Train supervisors in safe and efficient drilling practices applicable to your project.

Reservoir Engineering

• Production well testing (safety, flow measurement, deliverability, wellhead power available).
• Injection well testing and evaluation (injectivity, identification of injection zone).
• Decline analysis, differentiation between reservoir decline and scale.
• Evaluation of cased hole problems and development of workover programs.
• Reservoir modeling, simulation of production and injection scenarios.
• Well bore simulation, optimization of casing size, deliverability curves.
