Offshore Solutions

To lower costs, we increase rates of penetration with state-of-the-art drilling tools, and we make adjustments with integrated real-time data. We also maintain constant pressures without expensive fluids, which reduces the risk of stuck bottomhole assemblies, delivers a simplified well architecture, and cuts operational time. In directional wells, we use easy-to-maintain equipment to drill smooth holes for faster casing and completion running—and more production—down the line. Together, our drilling technologies can lower costs by 10% and reduce drilling time by 20%. 

To maximize recovery, we optimize well targets according to dynamic up-to-the-second updates, drill straighter wellbores with fewer low spots, and avoid formation damage from heavyweight fluids or extended time in the pay zone.

We manage downhole pressures to mitigate safety risks and protect the integrity of the formation. We also provide remote capabilities to manage drilling operations on multiple rigs from afar.

Using our technologies, we can make installation two times faster, OPEX 40% less, and CAPEX less. We do this by installing the upper and lower completions in a single trip or by running high-integrity completion connections with fewer personnel. In addition, we perform gravel packing from a single point for multiple zones, provide remote capabilities for running trees and actuating ROVs, and obtain real-time sensing data throughout the completion to avert costly intervention.

By drilling quality, stable boreholes beforehand, we enable running completion strings to the target production zone. We also maximize recovery with permanent real-time reservoir monitoring from the sand face through the upper completion.

When running completions, we use fewer onboard personnel to enhance safety, and we verify proper connection makeup to establish integrity. To reduce risk further, we provide additional actuation options for completions, and we deliver VØ-rated isolation for multizone applications. In the event of uncontrolled flow in very deep wells, we offer fail-safe closure without relying on unpredictable nitrogen-charged chambers.

We minimize intervention downtime with single-trip well testing and cleanup, skilled fishing expertise and accurate re-entry operations. We also save on costs by intelligently identifying what is happening in the wellbore and where production issues exist. Beyond that, we reduce abandonment expenses with single-source integrated services that leverage a full portfolio of available technologies. In fact, these services have reduced time by as much as 48% and saved as many as 4.5 days per well.

We increase recovery using the largest portfolio of riserless subsea intervention systems, including safety valves, straddle packers, thru-tubing screens, and acid stimulation solutions. We recommend precise amounts for acid or chemical injection to prevent condensate buildup. We performing sidetracks get wells back online with increased reservoir contact. And, we revitalize wells as long as economically justifiable before abandonment.

We reduce onboard personnel by executing multiple operations with a crosstrained and by providing virtual guidance from specialists. Not only that, our abandonment services provide preliminary expertise and contingency planning that results in permanent barriers operators can trust not to impact the environment over time.
