Engineering Services
As drilling engineers, Merlin is concerned with ensuring that the system is capable of supporting the loads which will be imposed as the well is drilled. The system in this case, being the capability of the rig and surface equipment package, as well as the subsurface environment and its ability to withstand the loads which will be applied as we drill, measure, test and complete a wellbore. Our Engineering Services consist of a range of activities designed to ensure that your well can be drilled with the environment and equipment you have, and if not, what do you need to change or do, to achieve the well’s objectives. Examples of our work are illustrated in the panes below.

Consecutive BHA failures caused by bit and underreamer interaction
Merlin performed an independent review of two incidents that occurred while drilling a recent ERD well. The objective of the investigation was to identify the root cause of the failures and to propose engineered solutions to prevent similar failures occurring in future runs.
9-5/8″ Floated Casing Installation
This case study explains how we helped a client address a casing installation challenge by combining engineering and operations support with our TDH software.
Problem Formation Overcome With ERD Operational Practices
This case study looks at a multi-well development project from six fixed offshore installations with sub-sea satellite tie-back wells. Challenging high angle hole sections in large hole sizes through unstable shales and depleted zones prone to losses. Drilling performance suffering from multiple lost Bottom Hole Assemblies (BHAs) and significant Non-Productive Time (NPT).

Entrenamiento
Las personas mejor capacitadas toman mejores decisiones. Realmente es así de simple. Si el plan es sacar al equipo de su zona de confort, el tiempo de entrenamiento para aprender los fundamentos y hablar sobre los factores críticos de éxito mejorará la confiabilidad de la ejecución del pozo.
Operaciones
La ejecución es un momento decisivo. El esfuerzo y la energía durante la planeación debe ser dirigido y aprovechado para asegurar el éxito operativo. Merlin puede apoyar sus operaciones de campo con personal que tiene la experiencia, el conocimiento y la energía para impulsar el éxito dentro de su equipo de trabajo.
