Torque, Drag & Hydraulics Software
TDH® software brings well engineering analysis together in one intuitive platform, helping drilling engineers understand well behaviour, evaluate operating limits and make better-informed engineering decisions.
From torque and drag and hydraulics to casing wear, cementing, casing design and more, TDH allows engineers to model the well, explore different scenarios and understand how changes affect loads, limits and performance.
Designed for complex well engineering, TDH makes it easier to compare scenarios, identify engineering margins and communicate results clearly, supporting better decisions from well design through execution.
Browser-based, flexible and built around real engineering workflows, TDH can be used wherever engineers need it, without local installation.
Speed, Simplicity and Consistency
TDH is designed to give engineers speed, simplicity and consistency, making it quick to build models and focus on engineering decisions rather than the software.
It brings torque and drag, hydraulics, casing wear, cementing, casing design and other analyses together in one integrated platform, with tools for scenario comparison, sensitivity analysis and field data.
Advanced functionality supports real-world modelling, including friction modifiers, flotation, tortuosity, PVT-corrected hydraulics and complex fluid behaviour. Results can be quickly visualised, compared and reported, helping teams understand well behaviour from design through execution.

TDH-Custom
Customised TDH solutions tailored to your exact specification. Example projects for real clients shown below.
TDH Custom Example 1
A client wanted to optimize placement of their innovative tools in the drill-string with one-click functionality. The brief tasked Merlin to develop a digital model of the tool operating mechanism from first principles, which would be used to define torque and drag roadmaps based on placement position and number of tools in the string. These models were then validated against actual measurements and observations in the field.
Following a successful validation process, TDH was modified to include a custom tool library and data inputs as well as new output reports, which streamline the tool placement process and make presentations of data to the client’s own customers simple and effective. This approach reduced the amount of time our client’s engineers spent optimizing tool placement and reduced the amount of time necessary to prepare technical reports and proposals for new opportunities.
TDH Custom Example 2
An independent tool provider wanted to incorporate their tool operating characteristics into TDH in order to streamline their modelling and customer proposal generation process. Custom tools were added as “drop down” options in the BHA input section, where individual tools could be specified as being part of the BHA, and their operating characteristics incorporated automatically.
TDH outputs were modified to replace spreadsheets which were used to collate data from different sources into one single location. TDH’s flexible output capability was used to generate a similar report automatically, without manual manipulation, allowing engineers to spend more time solving client problems.
