Extreme's engineers have extensive experience in this area.
Key Benefits
Local knowledge of Rocky Mountain formations and problems
Experience with performance of various drilling and completion techniques
Ability to provide excellent cost/benefit ratio
Capabilities
Extreme's engineers are capable of employing either high tech solutions or
low-cost poor-boy solutions based on the application and the client's needs.
Well Design
Extreme applies historical performance of offset wells, knowledge of
formation geology, hydraulics models, casing design models, drilling
dynamics models, and experience to cost-effectively design and drill wells
with the goal of effective reservoir drainage in mind.
Well Permitting
Extreme is capable of permitting the wells with the Federal and State
Agencies.
Wellsite Representation
Extreme is capable of providing on-site client representation during the
operations phase.
Completion Design
Extreme is capable of designing effective completions and stimulations
to optimize well production economics. Reservoir simulators and hydraulic
fracture simulators can be used to maximize the effectiveness of hydraulic
fracture designs.
Example Projects
Nisku Well Design
Design of a Nisku well in Roosevelt County, MT. This well was drilled
using an invert emulsion mud system to control salt sections. Drilling
hydraulics modeling, drilling dynamics, and bit selection were critical to getting the hole to TD on
schedule and within budget.
Minnelusa Reentry Design
Designed re-entry of watered out Minnelusa well in Campbell County, WY
to go updip horizontally and re-establish economical oil production. This
project required close integration of geology, reservoir engineering and
drilling engineering to achieve success.
Muddy Hydraulic Fracture Design
Design of a hydraulic fracturing treatment for a Muddy well using a
hydraulic fracture simulator resulted in successfully treating the well and
increasing production from 13 BOPD to 140 BOPD.
Kazakhstan Fracture Design
The use of a reservoir simulator to optimize the design a hydraulic
fracture, and then a hydraulic fracture simulator to design the treatment
resulted in successfully treating a layered reservoir in Kazakhstan and
increased production from 180 to 320 BOPD. The integration of reservoir
engineering, completion design, and operations experience was critical to
the success of this project.
