Technology: an ad hoc software to reduce the time and risk of … – Weather Web
->
Reduce time and costs and mitigate risks. With these objectives, the oil companies have undertaken over the years to control all phases of drilling. The production of hydrocarbons located in extreme environments (deep waters, Arctic areas, complex geological structures and sensitive areas) is, in fact, a strong incentive for the oil industry to expand its technology portfolio. A priority, given that the activities are carried out in extreme environmental conditions (depth, high pressures and temperatures, arctic conditions) and particularly sensitive from an environmental perspective (highly populated areas, forest, etc.). Precisely for this reason, Eni has produced software for wellbore stability (stability of the hole), used by engineers drilling right from the desi gn stage, which allows to improve security and reduce the time / cost of drilling through the prediction and mitigation of problems instability of the hole. A key element was the release of a modeling platform stability hole integrated with the central database containing information on the assets of the division. A further benefit of the software is a significant reduction in design time of the wells. The software, released in its full version in December 2011, has been applied industrially in the nine countries where it operates.
