SOA Removes Traditional E&P Barriers to Production Optimization
Despite the fact that production is the process by which
exploration and production (E&P) companies exploit their valuable oil and gas assets, historically they have invested less in transformation of production than on exploration and
drilling.

Predict predrill pressure and stress
Reducing serious wellbore failures
requires accurate prediction of pore
pressure, in-situ stress, shear failure
gradient and fracture gradient.
