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.
Revisión de Pozos Correlación
What is a “complex” well? It could mean a deepwater well, if you are used to shelf drilling, or multilaterals if you only drill single-leg horizontals. Regardless of what you are going to be doing, reviewing what’s been done before by your company and others is a fundamental part of the well design process. Facts are power is a phrase we repeat often in our training and it applies particularly to this exercise. Merlin’s well delivery process has been created to integrate this fact finding into a process designed to ultimately deliver reliable drilling operations.
Estudio de Factibilidad
Los desafíos complejos requieren una definición clara de objetivos y limitaciones para tener éxito. En las primeras etapas de un proyecto, llevar a cabo un estudio de factibilidad detallado es la mejor manera de garantizar que los objetivos se puedan lograr con las restricciones aplicadas, ya sean geológicas o de proyectos. Merlin tiene una amplia gama de herramientas y experiencias a través de nuestro trabajo en pozos de alcance extendido, que se puede aplicar con éxito a otros tipos de pozos complejos.
Revisión de Problema
Despite our best intentions, problems during drilling and completion activities can occur on complex wells. Merlin has been involved in problem reviews since our founding in 2007. Whether it’s a twist off, side-track, drilling dysfunction affecting ROP or another problem we have the capability to get involved and make a factual, objective assessment of the situation and what needs to be done next time to avoid further reoccurrences.
Diseño de Pozo Detallado
Planning something out of the ordinary with your team? An extra set of competent eyes reviewing and challenging your well designs or operational plans is cheap insurance compared to the costs which can rack up if something slips through the net and causes a problem on location. The best organisations embrace this process, as an opportunity to validate their plans and learn from what others with similar challenges across the globe are doing to keep ahead of the game. Merlin’s competence, gained from the worlds most complex wells, allows us to facilitate this knowledge transfer.

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.
Software
We developed TDH to leverage our industry-leading process knowledge honed on the worlds most complex wells. What was available commercially didn’t cut it for us, in the way we need to use data when on location or in the office.
