Drillworks® Pore Pressure Prediction and Geomechanical Analysis Software

Pore pressure and wellbore stability related problems cost the oil and gas industry millions of dollars per year. If not well understood and planned for, these problems can lead to costly equipment and nonproductive time issues, such as stuck pipe, lost circulation, wellbore collapses, dry holes and blowouts in addition to risks to personnel safety, the environment and production.

Understanding pore pressure and wellbore stabilities across a project, field or basin can bring significant advantages to exploration and well planning. From prospect evaluation to pre-drill to real-time drilling analysis, Drillworks® software provides an integrated pore pressure and geomechanical solution that helps exploration and production companies achieve new levels of risk reduction, cost savings and improved drilling performance.
