We support drilling, completion, workover, production, abandonment, and intervention teams with well integrity planning, dynamic kill planning, relief well planning, project management, and critical well planning. Our prevention philosophy is simple: plan early, challenge assumptions, verify barriers, and prepare the response before the operation reaches a critical point.
Well Integrity Planning
Well integrity planning is the foundation of safe drilling, production, intervention, and abandonment. UniServe supports operators with planning that confirms barrier philosophy, identifies integrity risks, and defines practical controls before work begins. Our process considers casing, cement, wellhead equipment, annular pressure, historical operating data, barrier verification, and the operational objective.
Key Support Areas
- Well barrier planning
- Casing and cement integrity review
- Annular pressure assessment
- Wellhead and tree integrity review
- Leak-path identification
- Barrier verification planning
- Risk-based well integrity review
- Integration with intervention, workover, or P&A plans
Dynamic Kill Planning
Dynamic kill planning prepares operators for scenarios where a well may need to be controlled using high-rate pumping and carefully engineered kill fluids. UniServe supports the design, review, and readiness planning required for dynamic kill operations. Our planning considers well geometry, reservoir pressure, flow potential, kill fluid density, pump capacity, friction pressure, surface equipment limits, and operational sequencing.
Key Support Areas
- Dynamic kill feasibility assessment
- Kill fluid selection support
- Pump rate and hydraulic modelling
- Surface equipment readiness review
- Relief well integration
- Contingency kill option development
- Execution sequence planning
- Technical assurance and peer review
Relief Well Planning
UniServe provides relief well planning as a prevention and contingency service before high-risk drilling, completion, intervention, or abandonment operations begin. The objective is to ensure that, if primary response options fail or become unsafe, the operator already has a technically sound relief well concept, trajectory plan, intercept strategy, and kill basis.
Key Support Areas
- Relief well concept development
- Trajectory and intercept planning
- Target definition
- Ranging strategy review
- Dynamic kill basis
- Rig and equipment readiness review
- Logistics and mobilization planning
- Integration with emergency response plans
Project Management
Critical well operations require project discipline. UniServe supports operators with project management for high-risk well control, intervention, relief well, P&A, and readiness projects. Our project management approach aligns technical planning, field execution, service-provider coordination, risk management, reporting, and stakeholder communication.
Key Support Areas
- Critical well project planning
- Scope definition and execution roadmap
- Technical workstream coordination
- Vendor and service-provider coordination
- Schedule and critical path monitoring
- Risk register management
- Daily reporting and action tracking
- Close-out and lessons-learned documentation
Critical Well Planning
Critical well planning prepares operators for wells with elevated technical, safety, environmental, or commercial risk. These may include HPHT wells, depleted wells, mature-field wells, subsea wells, complex P&A candidates, relief well exposure, unconventional wells, or wells with known integrity concerns. UniServe helps operators challenge assumptions, identify control points, define escalation triggers, and prepare practical intervention and contingency options.
Key Support Areas
- Critical well risk review
- Barrier and pressure-control planning
- Contingency scenario development
- Emergency response readiness
- Equipment and personnel readiness review
- SIMOPS and interface risk planning
- Well control assurance review
- Executive and technical briefing support
