Optima's flagship technical service
Supporting the complete well lifecycle for exploration, appraisal, development, injection, workover, intervention and abandonment wells in onshore, offshore and subsea environments.
- Review subsurface objectives, reservoir uncertainties, pore-pressure/fracture-gradient windows and offset-well performance.
- Develop well objectives, functional requirements, design premises, success criteria and key technical assumptions.
- Prepare Basis of Design, well architecture options, design trade-offs and concept-selection recommendations.
- Develop preliminary time and cost estimates, long-lead equipment requirements and contracting strategies.
- Identify major well risks and develop prevention, mitigation and contingency philosophies.
- Support peer reviews, value-assurance reviews, HAZID/HAZOP and decision-gate documentation.
| Well Architecture | Hole sizes, casing/liner setting depths, contingency strings, wellhead and pressure-rating philosophy. |
| Trajectory Design | Surface location constraints, target definition, anti-collision, inclination/DLS limits, ERD considerations and directional-drilling requirements. |
| Casing Design | Burst, collapse, axial/triaxial loading, design factors, connection selection, wear, thermal and installation load cases. |
| Hydraulics | ECD, pressure-loss modelling, hole cleaning, surge/swab, pump-rate windows and equivalent circulating density management. |
| Torque & Drag | Drillstring/casing/liner running loads, hookload, torque, buckling, friction sensitivity and operational envelopes. |
