Cougar Drilling Solutions

Stay on Target, Stay in Zone and Maximize Recovery
On time and in zone – the goals of directional drilling – sound easy enough? There are a lot of pieces that must be in place to ensure these goals are met and executed. From the right well plans to the proper motor configuration and experienced field personnel, there are many moving parts in any directional drilling operation.

At Cougar, we believe all of the pieces can fit together to maximize effectiveness and increase efficiency.

Collaboration
Starting from the operator’s request, we will collaborate with your team to fully understand the requirements of your upcoming drilling campaign, create a plan of action, come back to our teams with that information and design a fit-for-purpose directional plan to meet the needs discussed.

Well Planning
Next we will design a well plan based on your requirements and begin to design well specific BHAs for maximum effectiveness and time savings. This could include:

1. Drilling Motors
Having the right motor configuration, bend and stabilization can mean the difference to landing on plan or tripping out of hole for a secondary assembly. We utilize built-in-house motors and top-tier power sections to ensure we stay in hole and meet plan, every time.

2. MWD
Without a robust, accurate MWD system, there is no way of knowing where in the ground your bit is drilling. Cutting corners is not an option. We hold our MWD facilities to the highest standards to ensure the surveys are pumped up on time, every time.

3. Stabilization
When designing an assembly for build, build and hold, hold or vertical control, stabilization is the key to performance. We will study these requirements and utilize our in-house machining capabilities to make sure the stabilizers are cut to the accurate OD, gauge and taper for maximum effectiveness, every time.

Other Tools and Services
RSS – Rotary steerable systems are available for use by Cougar in parts of the MENA region. These tools will allow the operator to continue rotating thru build sections instead of putting in timely slides. This will allow you to drill faster, reduce DLS and create a smooth wellbore for your casing, completions and production teams to have the best shot at success.

LWD – Logging while drilling is the use of gamma ray, resistivity, porosity, density and nuclear source to provide an accurate image of the available resource to be recovered. This provides insight and understanding to the operator as to where this well should be placed (geosteering) what potential recovery should be, and where the following offset well campaigns should be placed.

Reach Producing Formations with Precise Geosteering Solutions
Accurate wellbore placement is key to enhanced production and maximum return on investment. However, a core sample from an offset well may not provide an accurate picture of the formations drilled in a nearby production well. You need advanced technology and real-time data access to steer your well in the right direction.

At Cougar, we utilize the latest in MWD and LWD technology to provide live, accurate data at the BHA and to make on-the-fly decisions about where to steer the well for the most exposure to the producing formations. By utilizing gamma ray, resistivity and a toolbox of other high-tech logging tools we can provide the right solution for every project.

A Team Effort to Get Results
Our geosteering services require a fundamental relationship between your geology and engineering teams and Cougar’s staff of engineers, directional drillers, measurement-while-drilling engineers and well planners for the project to go as scheduled. Cougar believes building this relationship through constant communication and trust is the key to success, the first time, every time.

Experts in the Field
With decades of experience in some of the harshest geothermal applications around the globe, we have the knowledge and capabilities to reduce time and costs on your geothermal drilling campaign.

The steam and high temperature of geothermal wells can create risks. For example, steam kick can kill an inferior tool string, causing a trip out of hole and potentially a stuck point situation if the failure is severe. Not only do downhole failures cost money but tripping out of hole on high-pressure, high-temperature geothermal wells exposes your entire crew to unnecessary risk.

We believe in providing the most effective and efficient technologies to your operation to reduce the noted risks and costs while drilling a high quality wellbore for maximum production.

Shock and vibration—it’s a topic that’s often discussed and always in the back of our minds. As an industry, we spend a lot of money looking into the data on shock and vibration, but rarely take the adequate action to either mitigate it or make it work for us.

At Cougar, we live and breathe shock and vibration.

We work with you to take an in-depth look at your drilling program, run proper analyses and make recommendations on how to reduce or excite shock and vibration.
