Curate Well Surveillance: Enhancing Collaboration for Improved Efficiency, Accuracy, and Risk Management

Curate Well Surveillance: Real-time pore pressure monitoring during drilling operations can bring numerous advantages, such as increased mudweight selection accuracy, efficient resource management, better risk management, and informed decision-making. The monitoring of pore pressures helps to address ongoing stability issues in the wellbore and reduce uncertainty from the pre-drill pressure and stress predictions, which ultimately minimizes potential hazards and expenses. A wellbore that is constructed with high quality, allowing for good logging, accurate testing, and minimal reservoir damage, can also lead to optimal production. However, cost overruns and delays due to ineffective communication often arise, emphasizing the need for better integration of solutions and improved communication processes.

Despite years of discussion and process creation, studies on offshore non-productive time have remained largely unchanged, leading to questions about whether the right problem has been addressed. The conventional well planning process involves manually exporting results using multiple programmes and storing them in local databases, which can lead to duplication of data through outdated connectors. Improving the workflow of well delivery necessitates changes in both process and organization, with communication being a critical aspect of effective planning for pore pressure and fracture gradient. Technology can play a crucial role in facilitating this change.

To make a meaningful impact on well delivery timeframes, stakeholders must effectively utilize pore pressure evaluation throughout the drilling life cycle. This requires a focus on improving the overall workflow between experts and disseminating meaningful information to end-users across multiple projects. With an enhanced integration of solutions and improved communication processes, the full potential benefits of real-time pore pressure monitoring can be realized, resulting in a safer, more efficient, and more productive drilling operation.
