Wellbore Stability Prediction
Predicts the mud weight window that keeps the hole open — not too light and it caves, not too heavy and it fractures.

Automated Drilling Program Design
In one sentence
Drafts the casing, mud and BHA programme for a new well from the field’s own drilling history, for an engineer to review.
The problem
Writing a drilling programme takes an experienced engineer two to four weeks, and most of that time is spent re-deriving decisions that have already been made twenty times in the same field.
The institutional knowledge sits in the heads of a handful of people, several of whom are close to retirement.
How it works
Offset programmes and their outcomes are parsed into a structured decision record — casing seats against pore-pressure and fracture-gradient envelopes, mud systems against lithology, BHA against directional profile. A constraint solver proposes a programme; a retrieval layer attaches the specific offset evidence to every choice.
The output is a draft with citations, explicitly framed as a first pass for engineering review.
Data required
- Offset drilling programmes, end-of-well reports and daily reports
- Pore-pressure and fracture-gradient profiles
- Casing and tubular inventory and standard designs
- Well objective, target and surface location
What you get
- Draft programme: casing scheme, mud plan, BHA sequence, hydraulics and time-depth curve
- Evidence panel citing the offset wells behind each decision
- Risk register generated from offset NPT events at equivalent depths
What it cannot do
This drafts; it does not approve. Every output requires engineering review and sign-off, and the system will not produce a programme at all for a well outside the envelope of its offset set. In a genuinely new area it declines rather than extrapolating, which is deliberate.
Every capability page states a real limitation. If a vendor cannot tell you where their product stops, you are not being told the truth about where it starts.

Permeability from Mud Loss Data
Mud that disappears into the formation is telling you something about how easily fluid moves through the rock. This reads that signal instead of discarding it.
