Well Architecture and Drilling

Effective and optimally designed well architecture is crucial to drilling activities and for future production and P&A strategies. They enable asset teams to drill deeper and reach TD without delay and deviation without loss of ID; meet the ongoing challenges of extended reach drilling (ERD), borehole stability, and casing wear; and establish stable and productive future wells without the risk of intervention. There is also the challenge of rising costs from poor architecture and drilling programs, sidetracks and fishing.

Enform and its Informed Isolation™ solutions directly address well architecture challenges and create the perfect platform for future completion, production and abandonment phases. Our products provide operators secure structural integrity, initiate sidetracks and slot recovery, support ERD, and address issues, such as stuck casing.

Well Integrity and Production

From the growth of brownfields to ever more complex wells with the Health Safety and Environment (HSE) regulatory issues around them – production assurance, well integrity and production efficiencies remain top of mind for operators today.

Yet, questions remain as to when well integrity starts in the well lifecycle and how a safe and profitable balance can be found between securing well integrity while delivering full bore capacity and the protection of ID. It is also important to maintain production levels and integrity from all zones.

Enform and its Informed Isolation™ approach provides simple, quick, and cost-effective solutions to reduce risk and well liability and help restore operator confidence in production operations. Our products offer operators the opportunity to seamlessly replace casing, tubing and wellheads; address damaged production tubing; and provide solutions for perforation shut-off.

Plug and Abandonment (P&A)

There are a series of challenges operators face in their P&A activities, with P&A being responsible for over 40% of decommissioning costs today.

These include the need to minimize costs without sacrificing well integrity; the dangers of inadequate cementation and damaged casing; strict and developing regulatory and Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) requirements. In some regions, the changing backdrop of regulatory structures is also creating successor liabilities for operators who may have limited visibility to well conditions years after sale of certain assets, creating unforseen liabilities. Operators need to put in place effective P&A plans – not just when the field starts to decline but at the well architecture design stage. Proactive end-game planning upfront can streamline future P&A while reducing decommissioning costs and unforeseen future liabilities.

Enform Technology and its Informed Isolation™ solutions provide a globally recognized approach to P&A operations, addressing challenges, such as the need for making provision for permanent shut-off, well integrity, and P&A preparation early in the lifecycle of the well.
