Drawing upon vast experience
The experienced engineers at PPI Technology Services provide expert design and analysis for the world’s most challenging wells, specializing in high value, HPHT and deepwater drilling and completion. Our multi-disciplined approach enables us to draw upon expertise in structural mechanics, reliability and system optimization, fluids, thermal simulation and metallurgical engineering to assure the best results.
In-house technical resources include:
- proprietary software for complex thermal simulation during stimulation, production and annular
pressure build-up, - proprietary software for material selection including CRAs,
- TDAS for complex stress analysis addressing theoretical and practical aspects of buckling and
bending loads for conventional and drilling with casing wells, and - QUALCONN, a proprietary database software that enables selection of tubing and casing
connections from performance-based ISO 13679 qualification test data.
PPI engineers relentlessly qualify drilling and completion equipment using advanced analytical and finite element analysis. These capabilities come into play in our extremely successful forensic/failure analysis division.
