AIPC INTRODUCES ITS PPFG SERVICE PROVIDING
- Pre-drill evaluation of offset data to produce a pre-drill PPFG model
- Realtime monitoring of the pore pressure regime (remote or onsite)
- Comparison of predrill model with actual results, producing an updated model for future use in the region
THE PPFG SERVICE COMPRISES THREE MAJOR COMPONENTS:
- Pre-drill offset well and seismic data analysis
- Realtime pore pressure monitoring
- Comprehensive, end of service, comparative modelling and reporting
PRE-DRILL OFFSET WELL & SEISMIC DATA ANALYSIS
AIPC utilises experienced specialist PPFG engineers to interpret data utilising LAS files, mud logs, well completion reports and other operational data such as drilling reports, leak off test results and formation pressures.
The pre-well PPFG service delivers valuable PPFG data that assists in establishing a robust well design, appropriate casing point selection and determining drilling fluid density. These services consistently add value to drilling operational efficiency.
REALTIME PORE PRESSURE MONITORING
Wellsite based pore pressure engineering services performed by experienced Pore Pressure Engineers with extensive wellsite experience, providing identification and commentary on transition zones, overpressure zones, magnitude of pore pressure, magnitude of fracture gradients, potential of pressure reversals and normally pressured intervals.
COMPARATIVE PRE-DRILL / POST-DRILL MODELLING
The same PPFG expert utilises the pre-drill analysis and model, updates this with data acquired during real-time monitoring (collated post-drill) and provides an updated comparative model for future use in the basin or region.
DELIVERABLES
Through every stage of the service (pre-drill, wellsite monitoring, post-drill analysis) the Operator is provided with comprehensive reports for pre-drill and post-drill analysis, and regular daily updates during real time monitoring along with recommended communications protocol during drilling operations.
Included with the pre-drill pore pressure model and report, AIPC provides a detailed outline of operational protocols, workflow and contingencies which will form the basis of communications and decision making on a daily basis during the real-time monitoring stages of AIPCs service.
BENEFITS
- Increases awareness of the pore pressure environment
- Assists in optimising drilling parameters
- Minimises non-productive time
- Facilitates the delivery of well objectives
