PETROSPEC ANNOUNCES:
UNOCAL
LICENSES pWell FOR CRITICAL DEEPWATER PLAY
THE WOODLANDS,
TEXAS -- Petrospec Technologies (The Woodlands, TX) has announced that Unocal’s
Spirit Energy 76 Unit (Sugar Land, TX) has licensed pWell, software
that automatically computes, monitors and updates formation pressure predictions
while drilling using real-time LWD data. pWell is deployed on
Unocal’s state-of-the-art drilling vessel, the Discoverer Spirit.
The Discoverer Spirit is currently drilling one of several Unocal
blocks acquired in the OCS Lease Sale No. 177, where water depths exceed 7,000’.
Owing
to pWell’s unique Intranet architecture, drilling engineers at
Unocal can monitor formation pressure in real-time while drilling on the Discoverer
Spirit and at their offices in Sugar Land, simultaneously. To stay in
constant contact with the drill ship, Unocal engineers at the office can
receive real-time pore pressure alerts on their cell phones and pagers 24 hours
a day. When no text messaging is available, pWell uses voice
synthesis to call drilling engineers on any phone to automatically
relay pore pressure alerts.
Mark
Herkommer, president of Petrospec, noted, “pWell is an important
advancement in pore pressure prediction systems. It represents a fundamental
shift in the way real-time data is received, interpreted, and relayed to the drilling
engineer. We no longer need to have expensive consultants standing waiting for
something to happen. All we need is this software and wireless communication.”
pWell is available for immediate delivery for Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000/NT.
