PPI maintains a team of experienced and technically skilled engineers for review and verification of client well design proposals as required by regulatory bodies or particular operator specifications. We use a suite of proprietary software to verify casing and cement design.
To commence drilling or abandonment projects, oil and gas operators must ensure their well designs meet regulatory requirements and demonstrate they have applied the correct standards to address safety-critical elements. PPI provides clients with independent well certification services that meet the requirements of the US Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE). The BSEE ensures offshore oil and gas operations are conducted in a safe and environmentally responsible manner.
More than 1,500 well design certifications have been performed by the PPI team for operators around the world, including numerous deepwater wells. We have certified offshore well designs for the United States, China, Israel, Cyprus, the Falkland Islands, Nicaragua, Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, and Suriname.
Our experienced engineering team gathers essential information, identifies issues, and communicates with the customer to clarify any questions or assumptions. The final report for each design is approved by a PPI Registered Professional Engineer.
A key component in design review and verification is performance assurance studies and workshops. These serve to assess the functionality of assets to ensure they will operate as expected, minimizing risks and maximizing performance. PPI specialists execute and lead various design performance assessments including the following:
