One of our major services at the rig-site includes the Well and Drilling Monitoring System (WDMS). Well and Drilling Monitoring System, together with our Mud Logging services and qualified, experienced personnel (Logging Engineers, Well Site Geologists, Assistant Drilling Technicians – ADT, Geopressure Engineers and Data Engineers), optimise the level of data available at onshore or offshore locations. Such a system gives the on site supervisory bodies and the central offices valuable assistance in reaching the necessary decisions for project optimization. The client receives a complete documentation of the daily drilling activities, drilling fluid analyses and directional drilling activities, which can be used for the purpose of drilling optimization, documentation, for subsequent research and the retaining of evidence. Even when rigging up the system, the maintenance of high level of quality and safety normally found in the exploration industry is taken into account.
WELL AND RIG SURVEILLANCE AND SAFETY
Monitoring and analysis of drilling operations involve recording of all data. The operating modes covered by the system include, but are not limited to
- Drilling, Coring, Reaming, Back reaming
- Tripping IN, Tripping OUT
- Pump OUT of hole
- Wireline operations
- Stripping IN and OUT of hole
- Running casing
- Preparation of prints and plots of recording, raw and calculated data from the standard suite of programs. This shall include Drilling Data, Drilling Fluid Parameters and formation Pressure Analysis. Other optional plots and formats shall be made available on Company’s request. The system supports proper pressure follow-up, through online and off-line analysis of recorded data.
- Provision of daily and weekly report on current drilling conditions as requested by Company’s Representatives
- Twenty-four hours continuous well and rig surveillance
- Continuous real time monitoring and analysis of drilling operations including recording of all data.
