…The online geomechanics surveillance was carried out on 24/7 basis. The geomechanics support team provided an accurate forecast of a safe drilling window and adjustments to definition of the optimum junction intervals and the other vital recommendations. Work performed by PetroGM's team allowed selection and application of appropriate practices, drilling regimes and parameters while drilling most complex horizontal sections of the wells.

We are also pleased to note high proactiveness in response to any request from our side upon ad-hoc calculations or engineering conclusions related to geomechanics and the output Eurotek Yugra team has always been given was of a superior quality. PetroGM undoubtedly added great value to the successful delivery of such a unique and complex multilateral wells ahead of time and without any geological issues.

It should be noted that following technical staff deployed by PetroGM were highly experienced, efficient, and motivated in their fields of work.

Eurotek Yugra Team expresses our gratitude and sincere appreciation of outstanding services provided by PetroGM team for the well-executed project. We look forward to continuing working together on another projects in Russia and around the world…

…PetroGM LLC performed the work "Geomechanical research for a horizontal well" for the company ZHAIKMUNAI.

The aim of the project was to prevent geological complications and provide recommendations for trouble-free drilling.

Within the framework of the project, 1D-geomechanical modeling was carried out along the well trajectory, the wellbore stability was calculated, and the risks during drilling and tripping pipe were determined.

The results of the work allowed us to determine the safe angles of opening the layers of the geological section, to estimate the maximum allowable waste using the planned technological base, the optimal ranges of the parameters of the solution and drilling.The work was carried out in full compliance with the Technical Task at a high level.Separately, I would like to note the speed of the work. The project was completed in a short time…

…In 2019, PetroGM LLC performed the work "Creation of Geomechanical Models (1D) for Exploration wells" for Gazprom Geologorazvedka LLC. All the tasks were completed within the set time frame.

Separately, I would like to note that when creating one-dimensional geomechanical models, PetroGM LLC uses software self-developed.

We express our gratitude to the employees of PetroGM LLC for the high-quality project…

Head of the Engineering and Technical Center

V. V. Ogibenin

…The recommendations and suggestions provided by your specialists on the development strategy allowed us to develop stimulation programs to obtain the optimal geometry and productivity of the hydraulic fracture with minimal risks and costs.

The geological and technological measures carried out based on your research made it possible to significantly (up to three times) increase the flow rate of wells.

The professional approach and independent opinion of your experts have helped to reduce the costs (about 20%) for conducting geological and technological activities.

We hope for long-term cooperation and wish you further development…

…The results of the work allowed us to obtain the necessary information to optimize the trajectory and design of the well. Timely identify the risks of geological complications and determine the methods of trouble-free drilling.

The work was carried out in full compliance with the Technical Task at a high level using the most modern methods of geomechanical modeling.

I would especially like to note the timeliness of the work. The project had to be completed within 2 months, for such a large volume and level of complexity of tasks – this is a truly short time. The company PetroGM successfully coped with this, providing the results of the work in accordance with the approved schedule…

…The forecast of geological conditions and overpressure zones made by the company's engineers, including below the current bottom, for the first parametric ultra-deep well of the Gydan Peninsula with a depth of 6126 m, based on geomechanical modeling for four analog wells located on the territory of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District, largely contributed to the prevention of accidents at the most difficult stage of drilling the parametric well Gydanskaya 130 in extreme geological conditions.

Geomechanical modeling with rapid updating of the model, calculation of the wellbore stability, as well as recommendations on drilling procedures and technological filling of the well construction process made it possible to timely identify the risks of geological complications, explain the nature of their occurrence and perform technically possible preventive measures…
