WELL PLANNING
Successful well planning is not merely the application of complex, engineering princilples in order to generate optimal directional profiles, but more the ability to work as part of a multi-disciplined Well Team in order to deliver the required well objectives.
Evanteq Energy have managed numerous projects across the UKCS, (both platform & subsea), with a combined value in excess of £750MM. Evanteq Energy are very much results focused, with a strong track record of delivering top quartile performance with zero recordable accidents or incidents.
Most recent notable achievement;
-
Successful delivery of GDF SUEZ’s first HPHT well, (achieving the highest ft/day HPHT exploration well ever drilled (world-wide) from a Jack-up drilling rig), ref. Rushmore, with zero recordable accidents or incidents
Our expertise includes:
