WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE SAID

“Merlin ERD Advisor’s advice, knowledge and communication skills are beyond world class!  I think it’s essential to have them on the team again for future wells and get their advice during the planning stage”

Night Drilling Supervisor – Qatar

Either in your office or at your rig site, our highly skilled team of ERD Advisors ensure that systems accurately record data, track trends, identify issues and develop safeguards to avoid problems before they occur.  80% of high angle drilling problems are avoidable and existing equipment can drill beyond its perceived limit by applying proven engineering techniques.

Merlin ERD’s unique method of applying aeronautical risk management techniques to advanced drilling applications has yielded gains on “standard” deviated wells through the use of techniques developed for record ERD wells.  In single well projects this presents itself as reduced problem frequency whilst multi-well projects demonstrate well on well improvements.  Both reduce performance uncertainty and increase the confidence to take on more demanding projects.

Let us make your life easier, drill wells longer in distance and shorter in time – unlock your potential and continually improve.

BENEFITS

  • Procedure compliance
  • Improving performance
  • Trend monitoring to avoid problem events
  • Eliminating stuck pipe

Testimonials

  • We would not hesitate to utilise their services again when there is a requirement and recommend them as a well engineering service provider for extended reach drilling projects.
  • Merlin ERD has an excellent approach to operations support.  The ERD Advisor had a high concern for customers needs, supported the team with his great knowledge, and made relevant and valuable challenges within the team.
  • “We look forward to continuing to work with each of you and to drilling many more wells together in the future"
