The Client is a global company that provides products, services, and solutions to both oil & gas and energy industry

 Well planning: Trajectory design based on reservoir targets and local constraints;
 Directional well planning for all anticipated directional wells;
 Directional Well Planning to include a Geodetic coordinates systems conversion application as
well as a Geomatic model updated on a regular basis, i.e. BGGM (to model local Earth Magnetic
Field, Dip Angle, and Magnetic Declination);
 Directional Well Planning to include well positioning uncertainty calculation based on ISCWSA
models;
 Directional Well Planning to include way-to-target functionalities for daily well trajectory followup;
 CANDIDATE to provide directional maps: i.e. Vertical Section view plot, Plane view plot. The
vertical directional map will allow projection of the well profile over unwrapped horizontal
departure as opposed to a vertical section plan.
 Trajectory plots on request;
 Anti-collision calculations with existing wells while designing the trajectory;
 Prepare spider plots and travelling cylinders with no-go areas;
 Calculate Non-Magnetic spacing requirements to ensure surveys are within Field Acceptance
Criteria;
 Select and propose BHAs including BHA tendency analysis;
 Optimize the position of jars in the BHA with a proper dedicated jar placement software;
 Perform hydraulic simulations (expected ESD, ECD and SPP). Recommendations on bit nozzle
selection or TFA;
 Run Torque and Drag analysis, including casing, liner and other requirements;
 Laise with multiple functions to ensure proper fitting between each BHA element (Jars,
Reamers, etc.);
 Technical support and advice to the CLIENT drilling department on the optimum techniques to
realize the objectives of the well;
 Recommend BHAs, drilling assemblies to achieve the desired directional requirements. The
recommendation shall include documented analysis of the predicted directional behavior,
torque and drag, critical buckling, and hydraulics;
 Keep survey database up-to-date with the latest drilled wells surveys;
 Bit TFA calculation for Steerable Motor applications in order to "Thrust Balance" PDM motor
bearing assembly for each application as a function of anticipated Flow Rate, Mud Weight and
WOB;
 CANDIDATE shall use a BHA tendency predict model for planning, operational, and post-well
analysis;
 CANDIDATE shall use a computer model to predict critical harmonic rotary speeds and review
results of such predictions with CLIENT and make recommendations to minimize the risks of
downhole failures due to harmonic peaks;
 Recommendations to minimize well tortuosity must be provided;
 In a collision-risk environment, assist the Directional Driller on the rig site and solely focus on the
wellpath realization and projection a minimum of 45 m ahead.

REPORTING
 Trajectory plots on a daily basis showing realized versus planned trajectory;
 Validate, QC, and sign off final trajectory;
 QC data from MWD measurements and gyro measurements, if any;
 Provide the Directional Drilling Program and End-of-Well Report.
 Keep track of Lessons learned.
