BUSINESS-ACCENT
Utilization of new and state-of-the-art equipment
on the drilling unit helped to reduce the operation
hours and, therefore, waste less time on repairs.
Based on the experience of previously drilled
wells, SSC engineers managed to avoid any
emergencies as well as improve the well targeting
methods.
A considerable part in ensuring the high quality
of work was played by the choice of contractors
whose staff has only positive working experience,
both at this field and in Russia.
Technology
Pilot project at the Messoyakha field was
completed in the spring of 2015, and now it was
ready for operational drilling.
Introduction of efficient new well construction
technologies was one of the most important tasks
of SSC.
Comprehensive efforts of SSC engineers in project
development and drilling program design ensures
a full-fledged exchange of information between

Thanks to this approach, SSC
can guarantee the customer not
only a fast pace of work, but
also meeting the challenges of
precision drilling while building
various types of wells and
sidetracking.
Most currently developed fields
in Russia are quite mature, which
makes increasing oil production
an extremely crucial task.
By using technology available
today, SSC makes the most use
of horizontal directional drilling
and stimulated the drillers to set
new goals.
Sidetracking can recovery a
well to its operating condition
by opening and using hard-torecover
beds and increasing the
performance of marginal wells.
This technique increases the oil
recovery and basically replaces
the well seal, which is used to
maintain the well and save millions
of investments for the industry.
For sidetracking idling well stock,
SSC cuts out a section of the
casing and applies the wedging
drilling method.
Sidetracking enables us to build
wells at a precisely required
direction, at any depth, and any
wedges. The greatest effect can
be seen in drilling multi-lateral and
horizontally branched wells.
Cost value of oil recovered by
sidetracking is usually lower than
average value in the field, while
the drilling costs pay off in 1 – 2
years.
Equipment
For sidetracking SSC engineers
use new equipment, both
from domestic and foreign
manufacturers. Drilling units of
SSC are equipped with everything
necessary to deliver high-quality
results of well drilling.
