Frame the objective
Review reservoir targets, the existing well or new-well configuration, operating constraints and required branch access.
WELL DELIVERY ENGINEERING
From well concept.
To field execution.
Drilling and completion consultancy that connects well design, equipment readiness and operational decisions. Specialist multilateral support from preparation through execution and close-out.
BLACK ROCK WELL DELIVERYDESIGN · READINESS · EXECUTION
01 / DESIGN
Define the well.
Connect reservoir objectives, well architecture and the drilling and completion programme.
02 / READINESS
Prepare the operation.
Review equipment, procedures, service interfaces and cost assumptions before execution.
03 / DELIVERY
Support the decisions.
Bring engineering input into daily operations and carry lessons into the next campaign.
THE ENGINEERING SCOPE
One delivery team.
Five areas of expertise.
Select a service area to see the engineering support and practical outputs. Each engagement is defined around the well, the project phase and the operator’s requirements.
WELL ARCHITECTURE & PROGRAMMES
Plan the well around the objective.
Drilling and completion engineering support for new wells, sidetracks and multilateral projects. Review casing and well designs, junction architecture, equipment selection and programme requirements.
- Typical outputs
- Engineering studies; drilling, completion, workover and abandonment programme support
- Delivery focus
- Well architecture, integrity and operational interfaces
EQUIPMENT & PROCEDURE ASSURANCE
Make the plan executable.
Review multilateral equipment and operating procedures with service providers. Support equipment QA/QC, vendor visits and technical audits, and coordinate interfaces before mobilisation.
- Typical outputs
- Equipment QA/QC findings; procedure reviews; readiness actions
- Delivery focus
- Tool interfaces, operating sequences and service-provider alignment
COST & CONTRACT SUPPORT
Connect scope to cost.
Develop well cost estimates and AFE inputs. Support service procurement, technical scope definition and contract coordination, with attention to non-productive time and operational efficiency.
- Typical outputs
- Cost estimates; AFE inputs; technical service-scope recommendations
- Delivery focus
- Cost assumptions, responsibilities and execution dependencies
RIG & REMOTE ENGINEERING SUPPORT
Keep engineering close to execution.
Provide on-site, offshore or remote operational advisory support within an agreed scope. Review daily plans, BHA configurations and procedures with the operator and service providers, and support decisions during multilateral execution.
- Typical outputs
- Daily plan and BHA reviews; operational recommendations; issue follow-up
- Delivery focus
- Approved programme requirements, well integrity and HSE considerations
PERFORMANCE & CLOSE-OUT
Turn experience into improvement.
Support end-of-well reporting, operational reviews and lessons learned. Identify improvement opportunities for future multilateral campaigns and support safety investigations where required.
- Typical outputs
- End-of-well reports; lessons learned; improvement recommendations
- Delivery focus
- Operational performance and repeatable campaign learning
Scope, deliverables, personnel requirements and on-site or remote arrangements are agreed for each engagement. Engineering advice supports the operator’s approval and operational decision processes.
FROM PREPARATION TO CLOSE-OUT
Plan with purpose.
Deliver with continuity.
Carry the engineering intent into operations. Establish the programme, align the equipment and service interfaces, then use field learning to improve the next well.
PHASE 01
Prepare the well
Develop the programme
Support well designs, drilling and completion plans, engineering studies, risk considerations, cost estimates and AFE inputs.
Check readiness
Review equipment QA/QC, operating procedures and service-provider interfaces. Track the actions needed before mobilisation.
PHASE 02
Support execution and learning
Support operations
Work with the operator’s representatives and service providers, on the rig or remotely, to review plans and resolve engineering questions.
Review performance
Examine operational outcomes, non-productive time and deviations. Document issues and recommendations for the project team.
Close the loop
Prepare close-out inputs, lessons learned and improvement recommendations for future wells and multilateral campaigns.
A DEFINED SCOPE. PRACTICAL OUTPUTS.
Engineering you can
put to work.
Start with a focused technical review or define support across the well delivery cycle. Outputs are agreed around your project needs.
- Well architecture and multilateral design reviews
- Drilling and completion programme inputs
- Cost estimates and AFE support
- Equipment QA/QC and procedure reviews
- Operational recommendations and end-of-well reporting
- Lessons learned and campaign improvement actions
