Directional drilling

NEOWELL supplies equipment and an integrated service for directional and horizontal drilling.

The technical solutions and the way the work is organized draw on long experience of leading international service companies. We combine established industry practice, current engineering, and a close understanding of how wells are operated.

From trajectory planning to real-time drilling support, the NEOWELL team helps keep the wellbore on plan, keep the process stable, and reach the geological target.

An integrated approach

Every well needs its own engineering solution. Geology, the planned profile, mud properties, drilling parameters, and technical constraints have to be treated as one system.

NEOWELL specialists review the source data, select the bottomhole assembly, and stay with the project through the key stages.

• review of well design and geological data;
• trajectory planning and optimization;
• selection of equipment and bottomhole-assembly configuration;
• preparation and testing before mobilization;
• engineering support while drilling;
• parameter monitoring and prompt adjustment;
• review of the completed work.

Directional drilling service

NEOWELL provides engineering support aimed at safe and effective construction of complex well profiles.

Depending on the project, the service can include:

• a directional drilling program;
• trajectory calculation and control;
• support while building, holding, and dropping angle;
• orientation of deflection assemblies;
• control of wellbore position;
• support on horizontal sections;
• operational analysis of drilling parameters;
• reporting and recommendations for the next operations.

Equipment

Directional drilling equipment is selected for the well profile, the operating conditions, the formations, and the planned drilling parameters.

A solution may include:

• downhole telemetry systems;
• inclination and navigation modules;
• equipment for transmitting data to surface;
• deflection and steerable assemblies;
• downhole motors;
• surface equipment and control tools;
• software for processing, display, and analysis.

The priorities are reliability, measurement accuracy, tolerance of downhole conditions, and straightforward maintenance. Engineering choices follow international operating experience and are adapted to Russian fields.

Real-time control

Reliable data make it possible to judge drilling progress in time and to take grounded decisions.

Information from the job is used to track wellbore position, review the drilling regime, and compare the actual trajectory with the plan. NEOWELL engineers support the interpretation and, when needed, recommend how to adjust the next operations.

Engineering expertise

Directional drilling depends on the equipment and equally on the people: preparation, competence, and the ability to decide quickly as conditions change.

The NEOWELL approach combines international oilfield-service engineering practice, an understanding of Russian fields, in-house research and manufacturing, a culture of testing and quality control, and continuous improvement of the technology and the workflow.

Reliability at every stage

Before work starts, the equipment is prepared and functionally checked. During the project the field team has technical support and a direct line to the engineers.

Data and results from completed jobs are used to review performance and to improve the next solution.

Complex drilling tasks

Directional drilling technologies can be applied to:

• deviated and horizontal wells;
• wells with a complex 3D profile;
• long horizontal sections;
• multilateral wells;
• wells in difficult geological and technical conditions.

The service configuration and the equipment list are set for the specific project, well design, and client requirements.
