Prácticas y Procedimientos
On location, Merlin’s advisors make sure that the practices and procedures being used on your complex well account for known subsurface and equipment risk factors, and are objective, avoiding the opportunity for misinterpretation. Merlin’s international experience shows that objective instructions are the best way to guarantee a consistent output on activities which are taking the team out of their comfort zone.
Monitoreo de la Condición de Pozo
At the rigsite, Merlin’s independent specialists develop and interpret torque, drag, ECD, swab and surge models with the aim to reduce drilling risk and improve reliability of execution across drilling, tripping, and pipe running on your complex wells.
Entrenamiento al Equipo
Stacked rigs and green crews add risk to complex well projects. Merlin’s independent specialists are highly experienced, often with time spent as a Drilling Engineer, Drilling Supervisor, or other skillset such as a Directional Driller on their resume. They understand the fundamental aspects of complex wells and possess the communication skills necessary to explain why we are recommending things be done in a specific way. These skills are used to coach and mentor rig teams who are beginning their journey, to ensure that the right decisions are made at the right time.
Optimización de Perforación
Muchos operadores tienen sistemas de gestión del rendimiento procedimentales que se utilizan con gran eficacia para identificar y diseñar lo que les impide perforar más rápido, limpiar de manera más eficiente o hacer funcionar y cementar la tubería de manera más efectiva. Merlin ha desarrollado su propia metodología de optimización de la perforación que ahora se está implementando con éxito en ubicaciones en todo el mundo, lo que permite a los clientes perforar pozo complejos más lejos, más rápido y de manera más eficiente.

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.
Ingeniería
Los proyectos desafiantes necesitan una definición sólida y una comprensión profunda de los riesgos para garantizar que los ingenieros construyan soluciones que preserven o mejoren el valor del proyecto. El equipo solucionador y creativo de Merlin está disponible para respaldar sus requisitos en cada una de nuestras áreas de servicio.
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.
