Our consulting services, having built a huge experience in more than 16 countries across the globe, are able to offer wide range of required support, from geosteering and petrophysical interpretation analysis to geomechanical studies of any complexity.
We can help with engineering the best trajectory honoring the specific field geology, aimed to meet the wellbore-stability and well-performance requirements, maximizing well productivity with multistage hydraulic fracturing and delaying water breakthrough.
