Features & Benefits of AWE
Features
Benefits
Real-Time Advisory (Monitoring & Alerts)
Remote Operations Center monitors live operations; alerting for directional behaviors, hole condition, hydraulics/ECD, surge & swab.
Fewer unplanned trips, better ROP control, safer margins; faster decision cycles.
Vibration Modal Analysis & Predictive Vibration Mapping
Determine critical surface RPM/weight-on-bit bands to avoid resonance; modeling shows up to 50% downhole RPM fluctuation reduction and 40% lateral shock reduction when followed.
Fewer failures/unplanned trips; improved footage per run.
Directional & Drilling Performance Studies
Torque & drag, hydraulics, buckling/stick-slip, BHA design, anti-collision, 3D trajectory visualization.
Optimized parameters and BHAs; fewer sidetracks; consistent curve landing.
Well Integrity & Casing Design
Casing sizing/grade selection, load simulation, packer-tubing forces; deformation/stand-off capability and cased-hole trajectory reconstruction.
Reduced risk of wear/failures; long-term integrity.
Well Delivery (end-to-end engineering)
Lifecycle support from planning to P&A; safety/regulatory alignment; cross-discipline engineering.
Shorter cycles, expert support, comprehensive planning.
DrillScan® Digital Solutions
Advanced physics-based modeling, real-time visualization, and integrations.
Closes the loop from pre-well to live optimization to post-well continuous improvement.
